Private Schools in the Tournament

I know this can sometimes be a hot topic, but I am curious about others' opinions on the place of private schools (Harvest Prep, Africentric, St. Somebody Catholic, Etc. - no disrespect intended) in the state tournament. When it comes to tournaments and state competitions are we competing apples aga...

Re: 2/25 Western vs. Reedsville Eastern

The refs definately affect the outcome of the game. Had they called the fouls the first half, Western would have been up at the half and Eastern in foul trouble. I don't say that to criticize a very good Eastern team. They played aggressive and wanted to win. It wasn't till the second half that West...

Re: Why do officials not call as much come tournament time?

I think the fouling has gotten way out of hand for some teams. I agree with playing hard and there are times when you have to foul - but at those times you expect to have the foul called. But there is way to much pushing, elbow throwing, and stiff armed hand checking that it puts a team that plays b...

Re: State Tourny Overrated......?

Rocket, Overrated of Not, the community gets more excited at tourney time. And a big tournament run is an awesome way to the end the seaon. But you already know that. The Rocket has been there. I do agree however, that one game can blow the tournament run, for the league a good team has a chance to ...

This will be a close one, but I see Western advancing. Last year's tournament experience will be a plus and you know the Latham community will be packin' up their teepees, throwin' on a buffalo skin, and mounting their painted horses as they journey to battlefield. The warriors seem to really respon...

Western needs to beat New Boston at New Boston. That is a big task for such a little gym. If they area able to pull out the victory, I believe they would be tied with Symmes Valley for the League. Then I think NB and SV play next weekend. The fate of the indians may rest in the paws of the very tige...

Manchester beat western by one (and even that was questionable) with a western put back at the buzzer that would have won the game - the official in position ruled it good but after 2 minutes of consultation was talked into to changing his mind. And that was a bad night for western as well. Shanks s...

Congrats to the Tartans. A well played game. And I must say pretty good prediction Nevada. I hope Western comes out with more fire against New Boston.

Thanks Tartan. Sounds like it was a good match-up. I am hoping tonights match-up is equally exciting. Western has East tonight, New Boston Friday, and Manchester Saturday. The Indians face a tough, and crucial, week.

I would like to clarify that my previous post was not meant to imply criticism to the coaching staff. I am not that familiar with the coaching strategies that might be taking place. But I know Western has had several buzzer beaters and overtimes this year. In fact, I believe the Eastern game was a d...
