Go Pilots....Odd huh

river is all juniors and they are talented and has a good team but i dont think they will have a answer for akil blount im sayin linsly wins this one but will be a good game

I wish they did it like the convo and played all these games back to back for 1 price but the OVAC is money hungry.Now FF fans can't really go to this game if they want a good seat for 3 o'clock game because there's normally a line outside about HR half before tip off.By the time they clear the gym your at the back of the line...The games are fantastic tho 9 am A- Beallsvile (18-1) vs Madonna (17-2) 1230 A River vs Linsly 3A Fort Frye(15-3) vs Magnolia (17-2). 6 4A- St Clairsville (17-2) vs East Liverpool (17-2) 5 Indian Creek vs Wheeling Park

Anyone know who won this one?

70-65 Linsly

To My River Pilot Boys : You guys showed ALOT of Heart, the way you hung in there and fought back from a big deficit against a VERY good Linsly team !
If only the ball bounces our way a time or two, or a couple of those 3 balls don't go in and come out, it may have turned out different.
You played well against those high profile recruits...YOU ARE ALL WINNERS IN MY EYES !

My son (which plays for river)and I and a few others sat on the Fort Frye side of the court in the OVAC final against magnolia...and was told by a lady "thanks for rooting for us" ( :

Come tourney time unless the PVC is playing were all family.

Was River the higher seed? This was an upset.I was told River should win,Linsly started two freshmen and two sophomores along with 1 senior. I know River did not have any seniors but Linsly only had one . River had 14 wins to linslys 12. Should make a good tournament next year with these two and Magnolia and Fort Frye.

You have to remember that Linsey is a private school that draws students from far, and wide.
I assume they offer scholarships to gifted students, and athletes.

Also are lead by former Steeler legend Mel Blounts twin boys.

one was a senior and one was a freshman, not twins. Both good players ,newspaper stated freshman had career high in points .

They looked so alike lol.

Linsly played a very good game on both ends...No doubt ! But they recruit...period, which i think is crap, they should have a different division for schools like that, that can get players from wherever they want. As far as being an upset, i don't think so, no matter what seed they were...They are quick and play solid defense..seemed like everything they shot went in. The refs weren't very friendly either...Price was fouled on the 3 toward the end, among several others...But hey, it's a learning experience that will help them in the long run ! Lord willing, the Pilots will find themselves up there again next year.

I don't know who Linsly plays, but the team that came to Fort Frye a few years ago had a similar record and was really good.

This game was Linslys state tournament since they are not eligble for the state tourney in WV.
