dime-a-dozen's Elite 8 of Southern/SouthEast Ohio - 1-11-11

Vastly improved, I could see them getting to the Convo for the 1st time since 2002. Good wins over Whiteoak and North Adams(before the downfall)

They only have one 'bad' loss, which was at Southeastern, who is finally at full strength and could also get to the Convo out of the awful Athens sectional.

I'm just very skeptical that very many teams turn in their stats to that site.

Oak Hill went down to Valley by 11.....and I know it was very early on for the Oaks but had way more trouble with Whiteoak than Manchester and Peebles did...though Whiteoak was right on Peebles most all of the game.

Could Eastern, Manchester and Peebles all jump the Oaks?

I would tend to think they would. The only common team they share, as you said, is Whiteoak and you have posted how that turned out.

I want to see how they both fare against Ripley. Ripley seems like the team to beat in the SHL.[/quote]
Is it really worth going on this long about? Manchester plays Peebles again the 25th...if the greyhounds win both matchups the debate is over...if not I still believe Peebles is the stronger team. Only time will tell as far as Ripley is concerned. I cant wait to see the matchups between the blue jays and the greyhounds/indians.[/quote]

Also, Manchester didn't run away with a win, either. That was one of the closest, most exciting games I've ever seen. I think Manchester played their best game, and Peebles didn't. I agree with Ironman, though...Ripley is the control for this experiment, and the Hounds/Indians rematch is going to be one to watch.[/quote]
Agreed, I would not put any stock into a 2pt win on their home floor with two Peebles starters(Both currently average double digits in scoring) on the bench frequently with foul trouble. One shot clanging one way or another does not make either the better team in my mind. If Manchester wins at Peebles they are the legitimate top team in the SHL small division but until that happens im still sticking with my preseason pick to win it.[/quote]


justice had 42!!!!! i think that made up for a couple of your other guys being below avg .................and i say that because blake took alot of shots, which obviously was taking shots from your other players hands therefor causing them to not score as much

The trio was averaging nearly 55ppg going into the game so yes it was still a deficit when Blake scored 42 and Andy and Tyler had 4 combined. :122249 The reason Manchester won that game was their ability to get to the line. It was a two pt game and they shot 10 more free throws than Peebles.

Huntington beat Westfall in the Dome. Probably the 'Stangs worst game of the season.
