Sorry, Jonathon Parker and wrong last name for Valetine. It should of been Lewis. Brewer will also give good minutes .

Yes, basketball is basketball, but the competition level is different. The SOC I level of basketball night in and night out is not very competitive. A #3 defender in SOC I is almost like a #6 defender in the OVC conference. The speed and physicality of the OVC is different as well. This is why I sta...

A lot more opportunities have opened up for kids these days which is great. Kids are focusing more on their craft in one sport. Unfortunately, this is hurting not only girls jv sports but boys as well. Once schools started doing the 2 quarter jv games, I knew it was a matter of time before schools d...

I just wonder if anything was said to the kids after the 1st loss to Ironton with all the personal foul penalties because it does not seem like it.

Dave, more fans need to act like you. You do not get defensive at all about a post. You are correct about not saying Thomas would score a ton, I should of worded it better, that expectations should lowered to start due to the changing of roles and competition. I believe Coach Smith will coach to the...

It is a bit different but Thomas is a good basketball player. I just think the expectations of him coming out and scoring tons for the Trojans should be simmered down. Like i said, he will be guarded by the #1 or #2 defender for the opposing team. Competition is different from SOC I and OVC but I th...

Never count out THE BURG! Having 16 teams get in the playoffs really allows you to beef up your schedule to get you ready for games like this.

I hate to say it but I think it will be a long year for the Trojans. I think Coach Smith will do a great job but sometimes your X's aren't good enough. Getting the transfers is always helpful but I don't think Thomas and Woods make the Trojans a 10 win team. Even with Adkins I couldn't see them winn...

Waverly not having a JV team is shocking.

I'd say majority of SOCI schools do not have enough for a JV team. Surprising that ND does not with the success that the girls team has had.

Comparing teams that Jackson has beat who have 3 wins or so is completely different. I just am ready to see Eastern play better competition to show how good they are.

Ouch.. Don't get all butt hurt because I made an opinion. I just stated based off of the teams they are playing who have averaged about 2 wins, I am not sure how good they are. You see it all the time, teams who are 9-1 get beat 1st round because of their schedule weak. I never said Eastern was not ...

Eastern 42-14. SG should be a good game but other than that game, they have only played 1 team with a winning record. Every team besides Miller has 1 or 2 wins. Not sold on Eastern yet.

Burg is on another level when it comes to SOC II play. I wouldn’t say they are ok losing to non conference teams but it gets them ready for the playoffs. First couple of games you’re trying to find out who you are. Once you find your identity then things begin to roll. Burg always gets better as the...

I’m not saying anything bad about the staff and never once said you couldn’t defend him. Valley is in good hands with Coach Crabtree as the head man. If Valley was winning and he made those same calls then nobody would be complaining. People do have the right to state their opinion about staff witho...

I do agree he has program going in right direction. Valley simply isn’t the valley it used to be due to previous years of bad numbers. I was just stating it seems when someone makes a comment about coaching his buddies on here get defensive.

Valley just can’t get over the hump. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but my question is… if this was a coach from the outside would they support him like they do Coach Crabtree? Some people get really defensive when you talk about the staff and is that because they are close friends with the s...

St. Joe over ND is funny. ND is a legit d7 regional team, losing Thomas hurts but with LB, AB, MP, and dark horse Brady Davis watch out. Depth may be an issue but at the guard play if Barbs gets in foul trouble. But I think ND sweeps SOC I

Beaver Eastern with a win over Southeastern tonight 33-8. No one here ever gives the Eagles of Beaver any love. They’re on a 15 game regular season win streak. They stand a good chance to go 10-0 again this year. They lost almost all their skill kids last year, and just reloaded with more for this ...
