Friday Night quality games to think about seeing :
Hillsboro @ Chillicothe ... Coach Beard has the Cavs figuring out how to win with Caydon Cox leading the way ... the boro needs to come to play on the road ... Tate Davis, Jack Howland will both need to be on their game for the Indians ... a fun matchup with whoever draws the assignment of Caydon Cox speed and quicks on speed/quicks/length ...
Miami Trace @ Jackson ... FAC battle between 2 undefeateds - MT @ 3-0 ... the Ironmen 2-0 ... JHS will have to find an answer for 6-8 Adam Guthrie down low along with supporting cast of Trey Robinette/Skye Salyers ... transfer 6-3 Garrett Legg will get the Guthrie assignment in the paint ... can the I'men hit the perimeter shots to open up the paint - Charlie Woodard/Ryan Seimetz/Jax Carroll/ Stephen Jenkins/Bodhi Wolford will have the answers for Jackson ...
Meigs @ Vinton County ... a TVC battle of the top teams ... Meigs is at full strength with Owen Tracy back at the PG position - his presence makes a difference in running the show of shows with the 6-8 Carson Davis at all 3 levels/ 6-6 Aaron Tobin on the blocks/6-5 Dustin Vance in the post & baseline / 6-5 Reed Brinager at all 3 levels/ Cayden Gheen with one of best 3 point strokes in SEOhio ... tough matchup for VC ... Coach Kight will counter with maybe the best penetrating PG in SEOhio in Cobra Sharp sr, Hayden Reynolds sr gives VC 3 ball scoring, Nash Yates a perimeter threat as well - everyone else on the floor is getting their feet wet on the varsity stage ...
Portsmouth @ Minford ... the Trojans under new coach Coach Aaron Smith coming off a loss on a last possession shot by South Point will regroup vs the Minford Falcons - led by Myles Montgomery (became the all time leading boys side scorer in MHS history hitting 27 vs Oak Hill Tuesday night)/ Jackson Shoemaker/ 6-6 swing forward Bennett Kayser ... MHS breaking in the varsity lineup new depth in Ashton Reeder/ Mark Napier/Colt Donahoe/Ethan Cordle/ Ty Borland - learning by fire as Portsmouth brings an offensive attack that wants to push the ball at every opportunity ... led by Malachi Loper & Connie Thomas/ Daequan Woods PHS looks to get up and down 94 ft for 32 minutes and put some pressure on the newcomers to the Falcon lineup ...
... the pfloyd tour is looking at going to see the FAC big dogs butt heads for 32 minutes in the Apple City ...
please note that the 5pm game in the Battle in the 740 on Saturday December 14 is last years OHSAA Division II State champion Archbishop Alter and not Archbishop Hoban. Alter will pay Kentucky Sweet 16 team Ashland Paul Blazer High School.
