Jackson vs Logan Elm...Sectional Final

[Falcon01]

It's not that I'm shocked I was wrong.. I'm way more shocked jackson scored 38 points.

[Falcon01]

15+ ended up being a prtty accurate prediction.

I nailed that 15+ part.......

Tough matchup for Jackson. Led 12-5 near end of first and then had an unforced turnover and then LE took off with it. Logan Elm only 7 turnovers all game against our defensive pressure and then went 28-31 from the free throw line. Hit 4/8 3’s after the 1st qtr. only 28 field goal attempts for the game and shot I think 43% I heard.

Jackson wasn’t strong in securing the ball in the first half and left some points out there. Shot only 2/15 I think from 3 and just 6/12 on free throws. Couldn’t get under 8 forever and once we did Stiverson used timeouts wisely. We had it down to 5 but 4 straight possessions of 2/2 on free throws and couldn’t close the gap. When we went balls to the wall pressure LE didn’t turn it over and it kept ending in free throws. Ward was 13/14 on free throws but seemed like more. He was excellent.

Tall bald ref was outstanding, great game by him. The younger ref was very good too. Refreshing to see several young refs do good work. Hope they get some Convo games.

Jackson? 20-4
Record number of wins (tied) for a season. What a fun and thrilling year. Just dismantled some pretty good teams and so many kids stepped up with Mr. Wallis throughout the season. The best Ironmen team I’ve ever watched.

Caleb Wallis...thank you. Go do great things at Rio Grande. It’s been a privilege watching your effort and play.

Caden Donaldson...great career and big season of top notch defense, timely big shots and tremendous hustle and leadership.....my kid is always told to watch you play because that’s the player he needs to be and you do it perfectly

Griffin Brown....never gave up, kept getting better and better and you peaked your senior year like you are supposed to. This team doesn’t win 20 without you...you made your mark kid.

Pat Henry...your allegiance is unmatched and thanks for all you did for TEAM Ironmen

Coach Morrow, Fulks, Lowe, Wallis, Ervin....thanks for always having our team so ready and all the work you put in. This season won’t be forgotten.

Historic season and program Jackson is legit. Don’t think we won’t be back next year.

Looks like Gallia's coach had the seeding right when he voted. Jackson looked like a 6 or 7 seed. Logan Elm was a more complete team. They completely frustrated #3. Jackson benefited from playing in a weak FAC.

With the one and done the best team does not always win. That’s what makes the tournament so exciting

People say the dumbest s h I t on here.

I don’t believe this is true. They only had 10 league games. Chillicothe is great. Hillsboro and Miami Trace aren’t terrible. The other 2 - yeah - bad but that’s only 4 games. They played 12 non league games and that schedule was pretty good. Every team is in a league with 4 Easy games. SVC has Huntington and Southeastern and .... SOC2 has West and Northwest and ... OVC has Rock Hill and Portsmouth .... Logan Elm’s league has Circleville and Amanda .... every league has a few teams that are Easy wins for these D2 teams. TVC Ohio wasn’t good at the bottom. Find me a league where this isn’t true.

Just saying that Logan Elm was a better team then Jackson as they proved. Jackson is over seeded every year.

Maybe Jackson next year will only lose by 10

And people wanted Stiverson out last year. SMH

Only the idiot fringe, led by Braves00, were bashing Coach Stiverson. Most rational Logan Elm fans feel blessed to have one of the top coaching staffs in southern Ohio.

Hats off to Coach Stiverson and Logan Elm. They came ready and executed in every way. I hated this matchup and after seeing them hated it even more. A bunch of short quick, disciplined guards that can shoot. Tough to rally in the 4th against kids that can take care of the ball and make free throws. This who even thought about Stiverson needing to go are complete morons. He’s always on my list of top coach when that thread arises and will continue to be.

I’ll be rooting for that team as far as they go. Kids played hard and smart and made big shot after big shot.

Great game by Logan Elm and best of luck the rest of the way. Congrats to the Logan Elm folks.

First class, Ironman92. Congrats to Jackson on an outstanding season. Very good team. Don't let the naysayers get you down. Jackson deserved the second-seed.

Great defense by Logan Elm, led by Jason Sailor, with very good help. Logan Elm was very active, did a good job on the boards and then were very patient on offense. Congrats to the Braves, going back to the Convo for the first time since 2017.

Thank You, I truly meant it.

Congratulations to my Braves, Coach Stiverson, Holbert and Dropsey! I’ve sat back to gather my thoughts after the game. First of all, Ironman92, you are a true fan to the Jackson program like I am to the LE program and I appreciate the positive words after a tough loss. The Braves did the 3 things they needed to do to get the win against the Ironmen today. Play good defense, eliminate turnovers and hit their free throws. High School Sports are about rooting for your team through good and bad seasons, creating an environment for the kids to learn more than the game of basketball, and being proud of your community which Coach Stiverson does as well as anyone! Now, on to Athens, Lou and Basketball 30!

Very well put bman, he's the only one that was calling for Stiverson to be fired

[KRS]

This was a great game. Logan elm was discipline , took care of the ball when they were being patient and made the free throws down the stretch. Defensively they were outstanding and frustrated Jackson . Great season for the Ironman . Best of luck to the Braves the rest of the way . Thought it was officiated pretty Lgood. Only a time or two did they almost let it get away from them , which is great considering the games I have watched the last few days at SE
