Final: Valley 63 Portsmouth 62

[Amen Corner]

Everyone knows the seeds are way off.

Yes Purple= Underdog

Is this the same Amen Corner who spoke to Coach LaFon prior to Portsmouth's matchup with Chesapeake on 2/13 about Ironton's "expected" #2 seed in the Jackson sectional...

..."Everyone knows the seeds are way off"...

I agree Ironton should be 1 and if you remember where did i say Portsmouth should be?

[biggdowgg]

WOW, Ironton must have a real cake walk ,not even enough respect for "who ever they play" to even start a thread,and talk about their kids

Duh, Last i checked Ironton does NOT know who their opponent will be yet

no clue at all?


but I was thinking,it really shouldnt matter, with Ironton being a 2 seed ,it wont be anyone to worry about

Duh, Last i checked Ironton does NOT know who their opponent will be yet

talk about the two of them together...I'm sure that Ironton is good enough to defeat both teams...I'm sure that Ironton is so good that they could beat both teams combined!



Good luck against Coal Grove/Minford...

and, like I was saying

[Amen Corner]

You just never know about underdogs...I can remember when chesy was 1 and got beat by burg in 1st game....If Ironton plays their best they should get the Win...

I value your knowledge

[Ironman92]

....with Todd Mayo.....that was the most intense game ever played at the current JHS....ROWDY and LOUD

[OZZIEOHIO]

I was there and it was a great game to watch.

[Ironman92]

....in the days before you had to pay to park

[biggdowgg]

I was there and it was a great game to watch.

...that was the game that I wore my bengals (orange and black) hat and you, trojandave, and biggdowgg did not like it...

yeah, we hate the bengals

[Stump353]

I think that Portsmouth is going to come out on top. I do not think Valley can match up man 2 man with the Trojans. Portsmouth guards are too quick for Valley's but I think Tre and Dion are going to be the factor in the game. This should be a great game and good luck to both teams. (even though I'm a valley grad, I still gotta go with my hometown team). Go Trojans and Good Luck Indians

[jeepmadness]

Valleys defense may cause some problems early, but p-town will come out on top in the end.

[trojandave]

I can guarantee you that Portsmouth will not overlook Valley.......the Trojans have had 11 of 18 games decided by 7 points or less.......going 7-4 in those games.......and also have had two 10 point games vs. Logan........the kids have been in pressure situations all year, and overall have responded well........the Indians are first of all good enough to beat Portsmouth, and secondly the Trojans have a tendency to be a spurty team and not put the hammer down on an opponent.

We need to get a lead, build on it, and not let the Indians back in the game.

[eaglegrad]

If you let Valley hang around you are flirting with disaster. Valley has 5 come from behind wins this year. In each of those games they were down by 10+ points heading into the 4th quarter. Valley will definately fight to the end. Portsmouth will have to play 4 quarters come Friday night.

[oldtrojan]

Great to see biggdowgg, trojandave, tobias, and plumtrojan again. also was a pleasure to meet trojan7 and that good ole boy from Ironton, Whats his name......Oh yeah, KentuckyII.

Was a pleasure to finally get home to see a couple of games, and big wins going into the tournament. Good luck to the Tigers in th tornament. would be great to see a round three matchup between the TROJANS, ans tigers.
Will see ya'll at Jackson on Friday.

Go TROJANS BEAT Valley!

[85inside]

Portsmouth is not going to let Valley upset them. Portsmouth has learned from their bad losses earlier in the season. If you look at Portsmouth's last 10-12 games, they could have easily won all of those games. Probably should have, with their loaded roster. Portsmouth is clicking on all cylinders now with Mckinley and Horne, complementing an already allstar lineup. As Trojan dave has said before, The trojans could easily be in position to win the district and regional titles.
We all know the seeding process is a joke. That is over. Portsmouth, oak hill, Ironton and Peebles, should be highly favored to win their sectional finals.

i would list it like this for entertainment purposes:

Oak Hill -7 vs Burg
Ironton -13 vs Coal Grove
Portsmouth -15 vs. Valley
Chesapeake -5 vs. South Point

[coop]

I'll take Valley +15...

[biggdowgg]

I think this will be a game that come right down to the last minute on the clock, with either team having a chance to win it...and thats just a guess,I have not seen Valley play, bt by looking at their wins,and record,they are a very very good team.

Portsmouth has a hard time getting a lead and keeping it, and has not put anyone away this year yet, Portsmouth will need to play "4" good periods of basketball,and do a better job at the free throw line to have a chance at winning this game.

anyone from Portsmouth,and Valley knows,any time these two teams meet in ANYTHING, its always a battle

[coop]

bd;

Valley doesnt mind playing from behind...I know Valley has trailed by 10+ in 3-4 games and came back to win them all.
