The Chef says "The Oven" at Piketon. Here's what is on the menu: Super-maintained, shiny and bright with BY FAR the best lighting of any gym in Ohio ("TV Lighting"), parking all the way around the gymnasium with easy front door drop off for those needing assistance upon entry, ma...

It’s great to be back at Piketon.

Plan to chat with you PFloyd. I've got more time nowadays. See ya there at The Oven.

Here Comes the Streaks!

Don't count out the Boys from the Village of Piketon. Not far removed from a lot of success and word is everyone is back healthy and eligible this season. The Oven is always a tough place to play for visitors. The match-up early at Piketon with the Boys from Frenchtown will go a long way in determin...

The Chef is on bended knee in The Oven praying for Lefty's recovery. One of The Chef's favorites over the years for the fight & tenacity he showed on the hardwood and on the diamond. May God wrap his arms around Zach for strength & healing.

X: Coach L leaving second time was bit of surprise to many after it had come up once earlier and he was staying. Little late in the process to go on the prospect for next coach. The past varsity assistants who have jobs in other fields have moved on and have no interest The Chef is told. The Chef lo...

Jimmy pretty much said it all with all the stats. Numbers can be deceiving at times, but those ones don't lie. Coach L had great teams and players and got the job done with them. Takes a special coach to take talent and win championships and do what many said was impossible...Final 4 at Piketon. Coa...

Prayers from The Village of Piketon and The Chef.

Don't look for my beloved Streaks to slip very far. Another league title and District runs are on the menu. 2 starters back and lots of pieces to go along. Jeremy Farmer would have been on The All Convo Team is it existed for this past District & Regional games. The young man grew up before our ...

Is Coach L back at the helm of the Redstreak Nation? Are the rumors true he's back?

Throw CCC - Cleveland Central Catholic who took out '09 Piketon & '11 Portsmouth in State Final 4. Over 1million people live in Cleveland area to get 6-7 good players. Piketon has 5000 people maybe? The trouble is public schools have these so called rules and privates don't. Maybe the solution i...

The Chef is a culinary expert, posing bard, and conissseur of fine whiskey used exclusively for cooking and medicinal purposes of course. Actually The Chef goes all the way back to the golden era of blogging starting with JJHuddle until they priced themselves out of the game. Have given it up few ti...

Because The Chef is the alter ego...Clark Kent - Superman... Dr Jekyll - Me Hyde...type of thing The Chef guesses. Sorry for the headache. Nothing a big bowl of The Chefs chili couldn't remedy.

Maybe not any this year but The Chef got a program from the Regionals this year and if you look at the Athens Regional winners for a long period of time about half the winners or more were Columbus teams. Noticed a total absence the past few years. On top of that many of those Columbus teams were pr...

Think 2009 when The Chef's beloved Redstreaks beat Columbus Grandview Heights in Regional final was the last year???

The fact Columbus schools don't get assigned to Athen Regionals has really helped D2 and D3 teams of southern Ohio make the tournament over the past several years. Glad they go somewhere else because it seems southern Ohio teams would run into them quite often and not make it to the Final Four. Will...

Coach L back?

The Chef's favorite time of the year - March Madness and the Redstreaks are smack in the middle of it all.
