For a glimpse at the future of the Ohio State women's basketball team, there's no need for a crystal ball. Enough spare change to attend a few high-school games should do. Turner plays for perennial powerhouse Pickerington, McClure for Gahanna and Shackleford for Newark. Fans already are talking about the big matchups to come. From what I've heard, people are really excited.
Indications are that future is bright.
I state championship. McClure may be the best point guard in the state. As a junior, she averaged 15 points, five assists and four steals to help the Lions to the regional tournament, where they lost to Pickerington. Shackleford is an athletic 6-foot forward who hits the boards hard. She averaged a little more than 11 points a year ago.
