9. William Buford, Libbey ‘08 (36 points): Few played the game with more joy and fewer played it better. The most gifted talent to come through Toledo in a generation, Buford, a 6-5 guard, could score in his sleep from the time he first took the court as a freshman starter for the Cowboys, and developed into an all-around force. His senior year, he averaged 23.1 points, 11.1 rebounds, and 5.6 assists, leading Libbey to the Div. II state championship game.

Buford was named Ohio Mr. Basketball and a McDonald’s All-American before heading to Ohio State, where he kept the Glass-to-the-Capital-City pipeline flowing. A central part of the modern heyday of Buckeyes basketball — playing for teams that went 116-30 during his career (2008-2012) — he left Columbus tied for third with Hall of Famer Jerry Lucas on the school’s all-time scoring list (1,990 points).
