Best basketball players in your school history

[85inside]

From what i hear, Ralph Snead was a dandy at Ironton. i did not get to see him play. however, based on who i saw play at Ironton I would say my top 2 are :

1. Dennis Gagai
2. Ty Barnes

[earp]

Several Fairland players come to mind!

Nathan Hughes,Ryan Ramey,Dean Wilks probably my top 3 though!Best team probably 1961 final 4 team!

[RedBaron]

Federal Hocking

-Brent "Cowboy" Deeter

[sider_zone]

I think in the West School History would probably be Rick Ferrell. I think he Graduated in 1967, and I believe he holds the school record of 50 pts. in one game. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

[Out of Bounds]

All I know is SHL so here are my picks

Fairfield- Vanwinkle
West Union- Blain Roush
Manchester- Billy Welch
Peebles- Michael Cheesbro
Lynchburg-Clay- Paul Cluxton
North Adams- Nathan Copas
Eastern- Buchler, you pick
Whiteoak- Robbie Barnett
Ripley-?
Fayetteville- ?

Really?? Cheesbro over Cremin, Arey, Johnson??? Peebles has had some dandies and Cheesbro was a good player, but sorry, I don't have him on the level of the 3 named above.

Best all round pure basketball player to come out of southeastern Ohio. Katie Smith.

^^^^^^it's not even remotely close either

I've never been more amazed at a high school athlete than the 1st time I watched Katie Smith as a freshman play @ Jackson.

We we're making fun of her until she started her warmups....you just had to be there to believe it.
