Unioto @ Piketon 1/7/11

What was the technical at the end of the Unioto/Court House game tonite? Never heard why it was called.

[mikepike]

Sounds like the Shermans are playing good ball. Should be a good game Friday in the Oven. Just back from vacation, so looking forward to dome Red Streaks basketball. GO STREAKS!!

i don't think this will be a good game at all. i think piketon will win this game by 20 plus. Unioto is like fools gold if you ask me. I just don't think they're as good as their perfect record. Piketon might win by 30 but we'll see. I would actually like to see the shermans win this game.

[southernohio13]

I didn't realize unioto lost to wch. not perfect anymore but good effort.

The technical should not have been called in my opinion. Unioto hit a 3 with about 6 seconds to go. Court House players were smart and stayed away from the ball and wanted time to run out since Unioto was out of time outs. A Unioto player tried to get them to throw the ball in and picked up the ball and threw it out of bounds. Instead of giving a delay of game warning which should have been called, they gave him a technical. Great game by both teams. Give CH credit because they hit the free throws when it counted. I believe they were something like 16-17 in the fourth. That is where the game was won.

T minus 12 hours and counting till showtime. Go Streaks!

Great game last night between the ladies of Piketon and Unioto. Hoping for a great game tonight, with a different outcome of course! Lets Go Streaks!

[chef_piketon]

The Chef is busy prepping all the goodies for tonights standing room only crowd. The SVCs big house will be simmering with excitement. Should be a dandy.

Go Streaks!

A pretty gutsy statement made by CampSherman. I guess thats what the youngins do. I applaud the school spirit.
Perhaps he is just a "Piketuckian" himself and he's making sure the Streaks don't take the Tanks lightly?
I see it very difficult for them to talk so much trash. No SVC team has come within 30 points of Piketon and Unioto has squeeked by most of these teams. I will give Unioto credit though. They are a much improved team that could possibly knock someone off down the road. I just don't see it being tonight.

Piketon by 20.

Unioto is very athletic and has 3 or 4 different guys who can handle the rock and that's why I think they'll make this game more competitive than any other SVC team has. Their bugaboo is FT shooting, which really cost them against WCH.

I think it will be a better game than most are predicting tonight, I'm guessing everyone has forgotten about the 2 games last year(5 and 12 pts) since Unioto returns as much of their core as Piketon has. If Unioto can stay within 4-6 through 3 quarters, then they'll have a chance, anything more and it could be just another Piketon blowout.

[danicalifornia]

Unioto leads at the half, 20-17. Were down 12-0 at one point.

[danicalifornia]

Unioto up 40-39 with 5:33 left in the 4th. It was tied at 35 after 3

[danicalifornia]

Piketon now leads 47-45 with a little over 2 minutes left. Unioto has a couple of key players fouled out now.

[ohbuckeye2]

Any Final score yet?

[danicalifornia]

Piketon was up by 6 with about 5 seconds left. My update source left then, so not sure on the final.

[danicalifornia]

Piketon 53
Unioto 47

[CampShermanCommando]

Refs gave the game to Piketon. We are the better team. Piketon is way overrated and playing on borrowed time. Refs were a joke.

[bvarn10]

Piketon had 3 players sick, shot 0% from 3, 40% from the line, played horrible, unioto played perfect, and we still win! Go streaks!!!!

[danicalifornia]

Excuses abundant so far, I'd like to see some thoughts from some actual posters with some real input on the game.

[tap in bogey]

I saw about half of the game. I'd say 40% is stretching it a bit for Piketon from the foul line. There's no way. If so, I'll come back on here and apologize. I don't see that there was much advantage gained either way from the officials but let's be clear on one thing - there were some strange calls and no-calls both ways tonight. Wow! A very physical game in which you could have a player tackled with no call and then a clean tipped ball be called a foul - over and over. But the real story is that Piketon struggled shooting the ball against the Unioto zone. I would like to comment more but missed so much of the game it would be worthless. I will say that this Unioto team is athletic and plays hard. Admittedly, the game was closer than I expected. Congrats to the Streaks for staying unbeaten. The effort was there but the shooting percentage from everywhere was rather woeful.
