OUTLOOK:

Jonathan Alder could be set up for as interesting a season as any school in Ohio. After finishing as the state runner-ups in DII in 2013 the Pioneers will join the Mid Ohio Athletic Conference and compete to make another deep run in the tournament. The two-time state champions went 24-8 a season ago and return 6 starters. There's no reason to think Jonathan Alder won't be able to do as well in their new conference as they did as an Independent.
