Likely game with Dayton Dunbar will showcase Cook, VASJ star Lighty

The Villa Angela-St. Joseph boys basketball team will be one of the favorites to make a trip to the Schottenstein Center in Columbus next March for the state final four.
Whether the Vikings are in Columbus or not in March is uncertain, but it looks like the team will be making a trip to the Schottenstein Center in January for what will be one of the most highly anticipated high school games in Ohio next season.
VASJ coach Dave Wojciechowski said it is a "95 or 97 percent" done deal the Vikings will play Division II powerhouse Dayton Dunbar at Value City Arena at the Schottenstein Center on the campus of Ohio State University on Sunday, Jan. 15.
Details are being worked out, including the time of the game. The OSU women are playing that day, so it is not known now if VASJ and Dunbar will play before or after the Buckeyes.
The game will match the two top seniors in Ohio - VASJ swingman David Lighty and Dayton Dunbar's Daequan Cook.
It could also be a potential matchup of future Ohio State Buckeyes. Cook, the top-rated junior in Ohio, verbally committed to play at OSU in late March. Lighty, the second-rated junior in the state, has not yet made his college commitment, but the Buckeyes are among his top two or three choices.
Dayton Dunbar advanced to Columbus last year and lost in a state semifinal to eventual Division II champion Upper Sandusky. VASJ made the Division III elite eight, but fell to Loudonville, 55-50. Lighty was forced to watch that game from the bench with a torn ACL.
The matchup with Dayton Dunbar rounds out an impressive non-conference schedule for VASJ for the 2005-2006 season. The Vikings will host St. Edward and Euclid, travel to Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary and play three games at the elite STOP-DWI Classic in Binghamton, N.Y.

This game will be very interesting considering Cook has already verbaled to OSU and in my opinion Lighty will be the next verbal. :wink2:

Wow, I didnt see this coming. Dunbar had their entire starting 5 back for next year. Cook was surrounded by a lot of talent there. Maybe he wants more exposure, and better competition? Being a spectator of Ohio High School Basketball, I do not like this decision. I hope this doesn't affect his decision on going to tOSU next year.

Cook is transfering in order to get his grades in order to become eligible as a freshmen at OSU more than getting exposure for the NBA, he already has that. It obviously will not hurt his game playing with other talented players and also getting instruction from top notch coaches. Its a good move for Cook and OSU in my opinion.

No worries people.:wink2:

Cook is impressing me more off the court than on, and thats a big statement. The way Daequan is recruiting other players i.e, Conley, Oden, Lighty, Young and Morgan shows that not only is he going to be a great basketball player at tOSU but his leadership is going to be in the forefront. Wether he stays at Dunbar this season or goes to VA his impact may be seen at tOSU for the next decade!
