BEST TANDEMS OR TRIOS IN SOUTHEASTERN OHIO - WHO ARE THEY?

[jchitwood]

blevins and combs are pretty good together, but i would have to exclude them as the best.........now if manchester had hanson back this year to go with blevins, that would be a very tough combo to beat..........................and...ha! think i know who you are streetballer

Is he the guy that was running around with the cape on?

Ragland and London is the only Tandom that should be considered. Numbers don't lie. Ragland is a 3 star recruit who scores nearly 30 a game and has signed with the defending conference USA champions of UTEP. He lead his AAU team to the Ohio State Championship over powerful All-Ohio Red team with more than 30 points in the finals. London is an automatic double-double who plays for All-Ohio Red AAU team and according to Rivals, teams that are interested in London include Ohio State, Wake Forest, Xavier, Indiana, Clemson, Michigan, Iowa, Ohio, and Akron including others. I don't think he will make it to a school like Ohio State but the fact that they are interested shows something. More important than any of that is that these two have led Chilli to a 5-0 start. They are also currently ranked #2 in the state of Ohio in Division 2.

Duo's that should be talked about for second are Carter and Fletcher of Ironton (IMO the 2nd best tandem) , Venham and Cunningham of Warren, and Kretzer and Martin of Waverly (these two are a great duo, not getting much help from the rest of the team though)

This thread's title is tandemS...plural. Ragland and London might be the highest recruited duo in the southeast but there are many I would mention along with them.

Just the obvious ones off the top of my head:

Ragland/London-Chillicothe
Justice/Countryman-Peebles
Kretzer/Martin-Waverly
McKinley/Evans/Bendolph(When cleared to play)-Portsmouth
Venham/Cunningham-Warren
Combs/Blevins-Manchester
Copley/McMaster/Kennedy-Chesapeake
Carter/Fletcher-Ironton

I think Blevins and Coombs proved themselves to be among the best given their performances this week at the McDonalds tournament.

Well Ohioguy if you know anything about basketball then you would know that Blevins and Combs were 2 of the best around here.

i actually know quite a bit and as a manchester fan i still believe blevins and combs ARE NOT the best duo......are they great? yes,i think so.....the best in southeastern ohio? no......trust me, there was noone screaming harder than me last night for aaron to put travis back in the gm to get his 2nd 30 pt gm this season.......they already outplayed justice and countryman ( who i thought were better ) if they can do that again feb 11th against irontons duo, then i will be the first on here to retract this statement

Kretzer 34 points & 20 rebounds and Martin 23 points against a very good undefeated Piketon team last night in the Holiday Classic Championship game. 57 of Waverly's 67 points.

Justice scored as many points as Blevins and Combs combined in that loss...Countryman just had an off night due to foul trouble early on in the game. The rematch on the 25th should be amazing.
