This first slide is a video is of all the messages of encouragement and gratitude from the four places the collection has been allowed to go. A hundred letters and another 50+ drawings from people ages 3-95 from all over Ohio, Northern Kentucky, and Southeast Michigan, responding to the courage of the 20 men who were willing to let themselves be seen and respected, not for what they can do, but for who they are as men made in the image of God.

We’re excited to officially introduce Coach Chris Darrington as Toledo Ark’s new Basketball Skills & Development Coach!

Coach Chris brings REAL experience to our program — from competing at the college level to playing professionally. More importantly, he represents what it means to be a professional athlete both on and off the court. 💯

But we’re not stopping at skills training…

🏀 WE’RE BUILDING A TEAM.

Coach Chris is looking to identify, develop, and build a group of young athletes who are ready to work, compete, and eventually play against some of the BEST competition around.

Our goal at Toledo Ark has always been bigger than keeping kids busy. We want to provide them with elite coaching, mentorship, discipline, development, and opportunities to compete at the highest level.

🥊 Boxing is established.
🏀 Now it’s time to BUILD BASKETBALL.

Welcome to the Ark, Coach Chris!

The countdown continues as we unveil players #11-20 in the MLHN Top 100 TBL Players of 2026.

According to our data, more than 680 players appeared in TBL games during the 2026 regular season. Earning a place in the MLHN Top 100 means being recognized among the league’s elite, standing out in a season filled with talent, depth, and competition from coast to coast.

These rankings were determined using a combination of statistical production, efficiency, availability, team success, and overall impact throughout the regular season. Players were required to appear in a minimum of eight (8) games to qualify for consideration.

This process extended far beyond points per game. We evaluated each player’s complete body of work, including consistency, versatility, contributions across multiple statistical categories, and the role each player played in their team’s success.

Today’s group represents another collection of outstanding players who helped shape the 2026 TBL season. As we continue our countdown toward the Top 10, every spot becomes increasingly difficult to separate.

Over the coming days, we will continue unveiling the remainder of the MLHN Top 100, recognizing the players who defined the regular season and showcasing some of the best talent the league has to offer.

Congratulations to the players ranked #11-20. Being selected among the Top 100 out of more than 680 players is an accomplishment in itself.

Who should be higher? Who do you think was overlooked? Let the debate continue.

CHRIS DARRINGTON
Age 29
(Charcoal, Graphite & 24k Gold Leaf on Paper)

Living like a king is living like Jesus. Doing the right thing all the time, even when no one is watching — you’re not just doing it when people are looking at you but you’re doing it all the time so it’s really who you are. It’s also about doing right by people who can’t necessarily change your life. If you’re in a position to help people who can’t necessarily help you, you’re still going to go out and help them: You aren’t helping someone just because they can give you something in return.

In ten years I hope to be married and raising my two kids — maybe have another one if me and my wife decide to go that route — and a successful business owner. I want to do something working with the youth and I hope that in some way and some capacity to still be involved with the Glass City Wranglers.
