Pike County Holiday Classic

[Sports 101]

so your point is.....that is no reason to dislike another school....

[Theboom]

just threw it out there...

[Sports 101]

I know that...i love this tourny....(and i may have to work,,that will stink) but im just trying to say without getting jumped on that piketon will beat eastern.....not trying to stir the pot....good luck to all the pike county teams!!!!

No, but you will be eating a ton of crow if Eastern somehow upsets the "mighty" Redstreaks. I'll give credit where credit is due, Piketon had a outstanding season last year! But this is a completely different team, who lost 2 thousand point scorers, will be without their top big man, and struggled against a good press against Mifflin. No doubt about it, Eastern does not have the same athletic ability, depth, and speed of Mifflin, but if they can force turnovers, be effective on offense, and play a sound game I see them giving Piketon a run for their money.


All I'm saying is, throw the records out, the so called "favorite" because anything can happen in the Pike Co. Tournament!

i would like to see them play a decent schedual...

Aside from their league games they play D3 Minford, D3 Piketon, Either Western(non league) or D2 Waverly, Charleston Catholic WV(made the WV state tourny last year in their division), Southeastern, and D2 Northwest. Not to shabby for a D4 school. Not outstanding, but I think it is a little more than your "decent" schedule you were referring too.

I also like how you get on here and make up hype about your school, saying they are not getting any respect. If anything I think Piketon is getting the most hype and respect leading into the tournament this year. The question is will they live up to it. I guess time will tell if Eastern, Waverly, or Western has anything to say about it.

ok...i havent made any other comment hyping piketon up besides evan and they will beat eastern...i just think they are better...thats not wrong....i hope beaver thinks there better than piketon, that shows they have confidence...i was just stating my opinion that piketon would win...nothing else....

[TripleDouble]

101, I was referring to the post when you said Piketon wasn't getting any respect and poking at Eastern's scedule. I agree though that both schools should expect and want their school to win. You want Piketon to win and think they will, just as I would like to see Eastern win and pull off the upset. Nothing wrong with that. I think it will be a good close game.

[Sports 101]

there is nothing wrong with what you said... i agree with every thing you said except the upset thing...lol....

[Theboom]

Why is it an upset? Eastern has the better record, last year has nothing to do with this year.... Piketon starts 1-2 seniors, they are a young team....

[Sports 101]

???? you tell me why it wouldnt.....

[Theboom]

relax... sports 101

[Jump23]

Man, It don't take much for the Piketon fans to get all rowed up!!! lol. People make one prediction about a team beating Piketon in the classic and its like somebody dropped a bomb! lol

[Hoggy]

Does anyone have the winners of the past years?

I would love to see the results to get a better idea of what part of the county the trophy has been in the most.

[the toro loco]

LOL witness230, you my friend, are AWESOME, I agree completly, I made a comment about EASTERN beating piketon and I thought It was gonna be WW3, its an opinion PEOPLE, piketon and waverly fans tend to "Go Off" when you refer to a team BEATING there team, I call that COCKY!

Im taking EASTERN over piketon , now I've got to wait for the BOMB to drop!.hahaha
GO EAGLES & INDIANS!

[Hoggy]

If this year is anything like the past......the county will be treated to some real slobber knockers! I agree with everyone else that stated the records can be thrown out and the accomplishments of last year will not win any games this year.

Sports 101, you don't seem too concerned that Piketon will be playing without Southworth. Do you honestly believe that his absence will not make that much of a difference or do you think Piketon is just that much better and can win without their big man? I honestly think that his athleticism and leadership will be missed and could be the reason that Piketon is playing for third place.

Can't we all just get along...lol...
I cannot wait for Monday & Wednesday...Should be an awesome two nights of b-ball!!!!
Good luck to all 4 Pike county teams! Just like each & every other Holiday classic, I hope all these young men leave it all on the court & show everyone what Pike county basketball is all about...

Hoggy,
Past winners - 1988 Eastern Eagles...I remember that one well....

[Sports 101]

I didnt know southworth wouldnt be there, i was told he was....and everyone is right i got caught up in the moment...sorry.... eastern is a good ball club and will be a good game on monday....good luck to all pike county teams for the rest of the season...
