2 All-Star Games... 2 All-Star Game MVP's! @RyanPlantz2 is carrying the banner for Genoa Basketball. The future @AshlandU_Hoops player has a BRIGHT future!
On one hand, I wish Genoa was in our coverage area and I got to see more of @RyanPlantz2's career. On the other end, it's sad that Genoa isn't covered more by newspapers over there by Genoa. Get you someone that hypes you like @Ju_Washington14 hyped Walter in the fourth picture.

Walter Plantz had just seven points in the first half versus Paulding.
He ended the game with 21 (game-high) in @GenoaBasketball's comeback effort.
Comets win their first district title since 1996.
He is him. But y'all knew that. @BCSNsports@GenoaSports@RyanPlantz2
After trailing for three-plus quarters, Genoa broke through to take its first lead with 5:15 left and never let it go as the Comets outlasted the Panthers 56-51 in a Division V district final at Napoleon High School. https://t.co/wFviQTRCCX
🏆 21 PLAYER OF THE YEAR WINNERS!
🪣 Extremely proud of every one of these young men! Conference/District MVPs have stacked up for our kids who bought in to doing things the right way — CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL!
If you need a reminder, @GenoaBasketball is damn good! Walter Plantz can take over any game, which he did so on Tuesday, leading all scorers with 25 points (blocks, rebounds, steals too).
Comets also possess a STELLAR supporting cast...good luck to those left in Division V 😎
