The 2026 All-Ohio boys basketball teams for Divisions IV through VII are loaded with Northeast Ohio talent, and the region didn’t just show up—it made a statement.
From first-team headliners to a deep pool of second- and third-team selections, the area produced impact players across every level, reinforcing what local fans already know: this is one of the most talent-rich pockets in the state.
At the top, a pair of electric playmakers set the tone.
Grand Valley’s Carter Turk powered his way onto the Division VI First Team after a dominant junior campaign, averaging 19.0 points per game and anchoring one of the area’s most consistent teams. In Division VII, Fairport’s Yomar Castellano earned First Team honors with a dynamic 19.8 points per game, showcasing elite scoring ability in one of the state’s smallest divisions.
Those selections highlight the ceiling—but the depth tells the full story.

Richmond Heights sophomore Dereon Barber added his name to the Division VI Third Team, signaling a rising underclassman to watch moving forward. In Division VII, Cornerstone Christian’s Darrien Davis capped his senior year with Third Team recognition after averaging 18.4 points per game.
