Southern Ohio should be a little more evenly divided this year with several teams capable of making a run. I feel like some teams will gain experience with younger kids and be better toward the end of the season and some teams with upper classmen need to shine now. New additions to some teams via tr...

Awesome stuff! We live in a win at all costs society! Go to any sporting event from youth to HS in our area any you see it. I've been an Auriemma fan for years and the one thing I've always said about Geno is- " like him or not, you never have to guess what he's thinking". Thanks for shari...

All I can say about Coaching Advantage or "disadvantage" in this game or any other game is that some teams do have better coaches than others and it definitely makes a difference. There are times in a game when a run-and-gun team can shoot their way or run their way out of a win. Sometimes...

MY point was not whether or not 40-50 fouls called or 10-20 fouls called- My point is games are called different in the tournaments. I know refs are assigned come districts but I've seen the same refs throughout the year working with their crews. Again- not complaining it costs anyone a game as I'm ...

Attending sectional and district games over the last week and a half as well as most of my life I have one question. Why is the officiating different at tourney time? It's crazy how different it is! Why is something that is a foul in regular season not a foul at tourney time. This thread is not to w...

I think hiabuckeye was stating that Warren beat Minford at Fairland- not that they beat Fairland.

Heard Arden hurt her other knee. Prayers to a fantastic kid as well as a fun player to watch. Hopefully nothing major!

I look for Eastern Brown to knock off NY in top bracket. EB has size and length along with talent to win that match up. I pick Southeastern over Ironton In bottom of that bracket. Skeens/Wheeler will be tested by Ironton though. Tough match up and "If" Ironton playing "Team" ball...

Ok. Here goes. Alexander is my odds on favorite to win region as I've said before. When clicking on all cyclinders they will be a tough out. They ran into a buzz saw HHS team but came back Saturday and played at such a high level it was scary. Their defense has to get a bit better to carry them in g...

Tourney time around the corner. Match Ups/Seedings- Where does your team stand. I look for the Lady Dragons to be the top seed in the Rock Hill sectional. The Athens sectional No. 1 seed would be Alexander. The Valley sectional should be Eastern Brown or Lynchburg Clay. I'd say E.B.'s 2 victories ov...

Tonights outlook and OVC Chatter Chesy over RH Dragons over Hornets Tigers over Blue Angels Pointers over Trojans My Pointers played a nice game to beat the Lady Panthers. Young guns playing well and getting a solid TEAM effort and contribution. Lady Panthers still grind out games and play BIG Ball ...

Thursday Night Match-Ups Fairland big over RH- Lady Dragons get back on track Peake over Gallia- Hall back and Peake by 20 over Gallia Ironton over Portsmouth- Lady Tigers up and down but looking ahead to Monday match up with Lady Dragons CG over SP- Hate this but really impressed with CG play. Real...

Pretty big night in OVC. Some interesting match ups of teams that are pretty even. Thoughts on games? Portsmouth over Gallia - Parker a load to handle inside Ironton over Coal Grove - could be a better game than most think. CG improving but I think Coach Graham has Ironton moving in the right direct...

Trying to figure out the Lady Tigers after watching the game against Lady Panthers. Panthers played the game the only way they could beat the Lady Tigers and Ironton almost fell into their trap. Lady Panthers have that ability to slow you down and make you play to their size but can't figure the Lad...

OVC pretty much on target. Couple of surprises so far- Peake off to a nice start and their size and ability to slow down game can give teams fits. They could end up being the 3rd best team in OVC and could quite possibly upset Dragons and Tigers. Their depth will eventually hurt them in these games ...

Mr. Woderful- The Adams kid is not the point guard for the Pointers. Fox is the pg and has been since his freshman year. One of the better young pg's in the area and I have watched hime for a few years now. Plays with a lot of emotion but sometimes it seems to get the better of him. Really good kid ...

Looks like the middle of the pack in the OVC should be a dog fight till the end and fun to watch play out. All the middle teams are pretty even-RH/SP/CG/Peake are all extremely close and any one of them could even knock off one of the top 2-(Fairland or Ironton) on any given night. Portsmouth and Ga...

Amanda big over New Lex
NY over Minford
Hartley over Maysville
Alexander over Liberty Union

Top Players-Pointers-Badgett and Mundy- Mundy had a nice freshman campaign and Badgett has been a proven player since her freshman season. Kearns could have break out Jr. year. Panthers- Hall and Murphy- I look for Murphy to have a nice senior season- Hall been a player since freshman season. Redwom...

I totally agree. She has made noise on the AAU circuit for years- winning the AAU Nationals twice for sure and obviously being the best player on the floor in both of those tourneys. They may have won it 3 times but I'm not totally sure. Her and the Adkins girls from Wayne were fun to watch. Her ski...
