Menu of Games for Friday 1/5/24 ?

Yes I believe he’s the best if he wants to be. He’s 6 7 that can shoot and score in paint. The problem is he doesn’t work hard. If he would get after it, not many could stop him.

Ok, not looking for an argument, but who else would you have in your top 5 southern Ohio players? I’ve seen him twice, and quite a few others. Looking forward to your list of good players who aren’t as good as Roberts.

I’ll be honest southern Ohio to me means scioto and Lawrence county. Probably should clarify my territory but my top players I’ve seen

I think Roberts has the best upside.

The two guards for western are pretty dangerous too.

That's the narrowest definition of southern Ohio I've ever seen. But I won't enter the debate if it's just those two counties... thanks for clarifying.

LeRoberts has had one bad game and it just happened to be the burg game everyone watched. I’ve watched all of them. He’s not scoring 30ppg most games by not being the best.

Too old to venture out anymore. lol

Have you seen Roberts play? And who would you have above him in your opinion

I would definitely have Kayser on the list.

I didn't see the Burg game, so that does not influence me. I've seen 3 or 4 players better and two or three more in the ballpark, unless you're not including all of South Central and Southeast Ohio. If it's just a couple counties, then I'm not participating in the discussion.

Forget the debate. Really wasn’t trying to start one, just wanted to hear your opinion on who you think is good. I really don’t pay much attention to outside those two counties, unless it’s soc conference games

Basketball only exists in scioto county. Specifically between 139,52,140, and BSHR

Busy Friday /Saturday night for hoops Below the Lancaster-Dixon Line ... last night traveled for the first time in YEARS to Sutton Gymnasium in Marietta , standing room only for the game between the home standing Tigers and the Fort Frye Cadets ... I'm not sure what I expected but thought FF might be a better foe than it turned out ... Marietta just imposed it's will on FF - the team with the better talent, the team with THE best player on the court - Marietta & Alex Kendall - played it's game, by "just playing it's game" Coach Gardner's Tigers won going away ... yes Fort Frye - made "the game closer" I wouldn't call it a run in the 2nd qtr - trailing 8-21 with 5:10 on the clock in the qtr. FF outscored Marietta 18-10 ... making the score going into the half MHS 31 FF 26 ... 6-8 Alex Kendall hit for 12 pts in the opening qtr ( a pair of 3's included)/16 for the half ... FF hit 3/4 treys in the first 2 qtrs ... 2/3 in the 2nd ... the 3rd quarter was all, no ALL Marietta as the Tigers defensively turned FF over 6 times / held FF to zero fgs / allowing only FTs on the scoreboard as the Cadets were 3/8 from the line ... 3 points ... the Tigers took care of the ball only 1 miscue ... 26 points /2 for 4 from 3 behind the arc / 12 for 16 from the line / Kendall added 9 more points , his 3rd triple of the game & 25 points through 3 qtrs finishing the contest with a game high 27 points ... Marietta 57 Fort Frye 29 after 3 ... game, set and match ... the Tigers played out the string outscoring FF 12-8 in the final period ... Marietta 69 Fort Frye 37 a final ...

Pfloyd's official "UN-official" Napkin Stats - Marietta

Scoring ... Alex Kendall 27, Owen Riley 13, Elyjah Lieres-Kelley 10, Seth Britton 6, Izak Knighten 6, Zaiden Wittekind 3, Braydon Jones 2, Trey Hawkins 1
3 Pointers ... 5/17 ... Alex Kendall 3, Owen Riley 1, Seth Britton 1
FTs ....... 16/22
TOs .... 12
PnP .... 19 fgs/ 38 points in the paint
PnT ... 4 fgs/ 8 points in transtion
Pbk ... 4 fgs/ 8 points on putback buckets

... SEO has some nice big men this season ! Bennett Kayser 6-5 (Minford), Trent Taylor 6-6 (Warren), Eli Roberts 6-7 (South Webster) , Alex Kendall 6-8 (Marietta) , Ashton Allman 6-6 (Vinton County) , Isaiah Haithcock 6-5 (Washington CH), Cade Mock 6-6 (Gallia Academy), Adam Guthrie 6-7 (Miami Trace), Bo Henry 6-6 (Piketon), Jordan Perkins 6-6 (Unioto) to name a few ... the 6-8 Kendall for Marietta can hold his own with any of them ... around the rim, on the blocks he's physically dominant , he prefers to work from the perimeter in to get his positioning down low, but its not for show - he can knockdown the 3 ball with regularity ... after watching the game last night at Marietta, I watched the Marietta vs Mass. Perry game - the 5 minute or so stretch coming out of halftime might be the most dominant 5 minutes a big man in SEO has had in awhile, you could make a highlight film straight off of the entire 5 minutes in that 3rd period ... he did everything - offensively attacked the rim, defensively in the press with steals and finishing at the rim driving the ball off the dribble, finished with authority with dunks ... he has the bulk to be dominant inside - tough to move him ... apparently John Glenn figured something out as they held him to 16 points in handing Marietta their first loss of the season Saturday evening ...As a TEAM in the game Friday night vs FF, Marietta just used their talent/size (Knighten ain't tiny at 6-5 alongside Kendall) to methodically beat down Fort Frye ... MHS is a solid team with one of those "HIM's" with size/talent that IS a next level player in the paint ...

There is one above Roberts and that's Kayser. He has a great game, a great motor. I've seen both play and I'd take Kayser any day. Kid has a great attitude as well. Have no clue why Kayser isn't mentioned when it comes to best players.

Haven’t seen him play yet. Look forward to it. He was developing last year. Roberts engaged is a different player. He takes himself out of games for some reason.
