Vinton County 50
Unioto 47 final



... Basketball Thirty at the Convo ... District level hoops ... one and done ... no style points required ... the name of the game turns to "survive and advance" ... Unioto vs Vinton County , D2 , taking the lid off of the 3 Weeks of the Convo ... 2 very good basketball teams with even better coaches orchestrating courtside ... the Sherman's "heart" returned to the court - Cole Cottrill ... while Sean Caudill "gutted out" an improbable "I'll give it a go" performance for the Vikings ...

... an interesting game ... having watched both teams multiple times throughout the regular season and each in sectional play , I had a good idea as to what I would see from my Cheap Seat location - Unioto with it's decided size advantage on the inside (Hosley/Wheeler/Hill) would be where UHS would focus it's offensive attention especially with VC being handicapped with 2/3 of its' bigs sidelined or at least at a disadvantage with only Wood healthy in the paint ... by getting inside with the BIGS Unioto could open up the outside arsenal that it has as well - Logan Swackhammer/Brandon Kennedy/Gabe Fisher/Cole Cottrill ... Vinton County would need to have its' perimeter game - Derrick Jones/Jordan Albright/Tristan Bartoe/Naylen Yates would have to have big games from the perimeter while Bartoe being able to get inside for points would be a bonus vs the size of UHS ...

... The first 2 quarters followed the "cheap seat" game plan as the Shermans were able to get inside for baskets at the rim BUT not without struggling to get the ball down low ... VC defensively turned the Shermans over 10 times in the first 2 periods ... UHS on 3 straight TOs on their first 3 possessions never got a shot off ... Unioto was able to get enough looks to take quarter break leads of UHS 8 VC 6 after 1 ... UHS 28 VC 18 at intermission ... when you look at the halftime napkin stats , if it weren't for the UHS turnovers Vinton Co. would have been looking at a 20 point deficit at half ... an even closer look had the ONLY Viking with a field goal in the first 16 minutes of play was Naylen Yates ( 12 points, 3 treys, 1/2 from FT line and a 2 pointer for good measure) ... the rest of the VC team went 6/8 from the FT line in the first half - that was it ... Unioto DID what it was intending to do - methodically trying to get inside to use it's BIGS (11 pts from Hill (6)/Wheeler (3), Hosley (2) ) ... when the ball could get inside meant it could be kicked back outside Swackhammer/Edler/Kennedy each knocked down a 3 ball ... the pregame Cheap Seat script was playing out Unioto was controlling the game, throw in the 10 first half TOs it appeared that UHS was able to overcome NOT getting 10 more "shots on goal" ...

... If you follow Vinton Co. basketball you were able to recognize THE missing piece from the VC stat sheet that has always been there all season ... missing was Tristan Bartoe ... UHS kept TB out of the paint in the first half ... if he got by his defender there was a BIG to force Bartoe to give up the ball - very few shot attempts for TB in the first 16 minutes ... with any good program , run by any good coach ,"adjustments" are made during the half and just as importantly "during" the game - in order for VC to have any chance to move on the Vikings "go to guy" HAD to DO what he does better than anyone else in SEOhio - get into the paint - good things happen when TB gets into the paint 1) he gets to the rim - scores 2) he gets fouled & to the line 3) teammates get open looks for a dish from TB ...

... the opening of the 3rd quarter saw UHS behind Gabe Fisher's early 6 points take a 32-18 lead ... but the TO bug stayed with the Shermans as they committed 4 more in the 3rd ... the TOs allowed VC to begin taking control as the TO's stopped any UHS flow, kept UHS from extending the lead ... more importantly it allowed VC & Mr. Bartoe begin to "force" themselves on the game - TB 7 points in the 3rd - just as critical he got VC into the one & one by the end of the 3rd - now VC by putting the ball in Bartoe's hands ... every trip he made into the paint would either give VC a chance for 2 points or would put a Viking on the line with the clock stopped ...in the 3rd VC outscored UHS 15-10 ... Vinton Co. was 4/5 from the line ... Unioto's BIGs had but 2 points in the quarter ... Unioto 38 Vinton Co. 33 end of three ...

... Confidence /Momentum is such a BIG thing in sports - both were now firmly ingrained on the VC side of the court ... Tristan Bartoe had found himself/he was doing what he does best for his team - getting into the paint/dishing/ shooting & making FT's ... for VC their leader was in control and driving the TEAM bus ... add to the mix Chase Wood - go back in time to the Logan Sectional Chase Wood had but 4 fgs in that game but ALL were BIG time fgs of the putback variety OR the game winner , big boards, a big block , MVP effort - fast forward to the district semi final vs Unioto Wood was a major reason that the Unioto big 3 were held to Hosley 6/Wheeler 7/Hill 6 for the game - unbelievable effort by Chase Wood & Sean Caudill who gutted out a great defensive game and hit 2 BIG TIME FTs in the 4th period ... Wood offensively had 2 fgs BOTH in the paint, both contested by multiple big bodies ... Vinton County tied the game at 41-41 with 5:42 to play ... UHS would have the lead but one more time 43-41 with 5:12 to play ... Bartoe & Co. would force 3 more UHS turnovers in the 4th ... Vinton went 10/12 from the FT line in the final period ... Vinton County upended the #1 seed to move on to a meeting with Fairfield Union in the District Finale' ... Vinton County 50 Unioto 47 a final ...

... great season finished out by the Unioto ball club of Coach Hoops & staff ... UHS deserved the #1 ranking all season ... in a game vs arguably the NEXT most complete TEAM in SEOhio - Vinton County - 17 Turnovers IS the statistic that stands out ... a potential of 17 shots on goal denied vs a well coached/talented team as VC does make a difference ... thank you to Coach Hoops & staff for allowing pfloyd to share your season ...

FT's ... 20/27

TOs ... 7


... VC had to have a TEAM effort to beat Unioto - TEAM showed up ... falling behind by 12 in the 3rd quarter , adjusting the game plan, battling back, taking away not only the ball 17 times via TOS but taking away the 3 BIGS for UHS offensively with a TEAM effort on the boards - it's how champions are made ... outstanding game by players & coaches alike ... looking forward to the Vinton County vs Fairfield Union game for the D2 District crown ...

Fairfield Union 49
Miami Trace 44 a final



... Game 2 of opening night of the 3 Weeks of the Convo had the MSL Fairfield Union Falcons taking on Miami Trace out of the SCOL ... Miami Trace showed the more athletic of the 2 teams with the quickness of Pettiford "squared" Deandre Pettiford & Tyrae Pettiford ... both appeared able to get to the rim vs the FU defensive players, add to the mix PG Blake Pittser knocking down 2 triples in the opening period ... FU looked to have the decided advantage in the paint with 6-5 strong man in the middle Colin Woodside ... slow starts by both teams ... Miami Trace 12 Fairfield Union 8 end of one ... Quarter 2 was a wash as both teams tallied 11 points apiece ... MT split the scoring just like in quarter one between 3 players - Deandre Pettiford 7 points/ 2 triples in the qtr (11 for the half), Tyrae Pettiford 2 pts in the qtr (4 for the half), Blake Pittser 2 in the qtr (8 in the half) as a team MT was 4/10 from behind the arc in the first half ... for Fairfield Union Colin Woodside led the scoring in the qtr. with 4 pts/ Brad Miller added 2, Luke Thompson gave FU their only 3 pointer in the half and Hayden Price added 2 pts ... Miami Trace 23 Fairfield Union 19 at the half ...

... FU has been known for the 3 point shooting of Lucas Thompson, Hayden Price, Thomas Green ... thru 16 minutes the trio were 1/7, hardly "on fire" ... the 3rd quarter saw FU losing ground on the scoreboard as the Falcons could muster only 5 points ... having as many turnovers (5) as points ... Miami Trace hardly ran away and hid as they hit for an anemic 9 points including a two-handed dunk by Tyrae Pettiford and 6-5 Darby Tyree hitting a triple to extend the MT lead ... Miami Trace 32 Fairfield Union 24 end of three ...

... it was looking like a Vinton County vs Miami Trace District final ... FU came to life as the Falcons at the 4:30 mark of the 4th made a run that started with a 3 pointer , followed by Miami Traces' only turnover of the qtr. which ended with another triple for FU to tie the score at 34-34 at the 4 minute mark ... at 3 minutes on the clock another FU three ball ... in total during the final 4:30 FU knocked down 4 triples a regular 2 point bucket by Price ... add in 9/13 from the FT line it totaled too much for the 8 points by MT Pittser's in the final 4 minutes to keep MT close ... in the end FU outscored Miami Trace 25-12 in the final quarter the majority of which were tallied in the last 4 and a half minutes ... Fairfield Union 49 Miami Trace 44 a final ...

... Fairfield Union hung around and hung around looking like it was out ... then as if Coach Eversole and Coach Helber "flipped the switch" to the on position ... a 25 point final quarter with 4/4 shooting from behind the 3 point line ... the Falcons got to the line for 13 FTs with 9 finding the bottom of the net ... congratulations to the Falcons best of luck Friday night vs the Vinton County Vikings ... tip off at 7 pm ... the only game of the evening at the Convo next Friday night ...

Waterford 69
Beaver Eastern 57 final



... D4 nightcap on Monday evening ... one of the games between 2 teams I didn't have the pleasure to see during the regular season - my loss as I found both teams to be well coached Simms (WHS) & Barrick (Eastern) ... I thought Eastern was very disciplined at both ends ... offensively not as explosive as Waterford - EHS returns 4/5 starters next season 2 years under Barrick will have the Eagles that much better ... Waterford controlled the game from the outset leading at all stops 14-9 , 32-24 , 54-46 Eastern did tie the game at 46-46 ... EHS outscored WHS 22-14 in the 3rd before Waterford closed out the quarter 8-0 led by junior Jordan Welch's 8 point to end the quarter 2 treys sandwiched around a deuce ... the 4th period had Jordan putting the nail in the Eagles coffin by hitting back to back to back threes to help Waterford get separation that was too much for Eastern to overcome ... Waterford 69 Beaver Eastern 57 a final ...

FT's ... 7/15

TO's ... 11

... Coach Barrick has done an excellent job - no surprise right - with the Eastern "Program" ... Evan Leist is an excellent PG , heady , makes good basketball decision with the ball, you can tell he's had a ball in his hands "a lot" AND ONLY A FRESHMAN ... the junior returnees will be another year older/physically next season - Ethan Leist, Clay Martin, Quentin Alley, Tyler Hale ... sophomore Gabe Campbell ... good things to come next season for this group ...

FT's ... 9/11

TO's ... 14

... as 93dog pointed out on another thread Waterford as a TEAM showed the least amount of "getting used to the shooting backdrop" of the CONVO hitting 2 of their game high 10 triples in the opening period ... 4/5 starters found the bottom of the net in the first quarter as well ... Waterford has size, inside outside scoring - what's NOT to like !?! ... the only weak area I could see is on the ball handling part of the game with a tendency to turn the ball over ... 9/10 players who saw action last night are returning for the 2016-17 season 100% of last scoring returns next season ... Waterford won't be starting out of the top 20 in the preseason poll next season - very nice ball club ...

Trimble 68
Portsmouth Clay 65 OT a final



... Tipping off the D4 menu Monday night was Trimble vs Portsmouth Clay ... one of the better games in district action, the only game to go into overtime to determine who moved on and who went home ... the opening period saw both teams turn each over a total of 10 times (Trimble 6/Clay 4) ... the Tomcats Big 2 - Justice Jenkins & Bryce Guthrie - flexed their muscles with Jenkins (7 pts) /Guthrie (7 pts) ... Clay answered with Cole Gilliland's 5 pts for the Panthers - all 5 starters put points in the scorebook in the 1st for Clay ... Trimble 18 Clay 12 end of 1 ... in the 2nd Trimble seemed happy to take the perimeter shot as they finished the 2nd only 1/5 in the 2nd / 2/12 from behind the arc in the first half ... the Tomcat duo of Jenkins/Guthrie continued to take the bulk of the shots on goal as they contributed 7 points between them in the 2nd ... Clay continued to spread the wealth Gilliland (4)/Cameron King (6)/ Anthony Williams (6)/ Nate Hinz (2) ... the Panthers took the lead into halftime Portsmouth Clay 30 Trimble 28 after two ... Portsmouth Clay continued to keep Trimble at arms length in the 3rd by adding to their halftime lead even when Trimble turned up the heat defensively (THS turned over Clay 7 times in the 3rd) ... Trimble shooting guard Randy Hixon got involved in offense hitting a triple (5 points in the qtr) ...Clay was led by Nate Hinz 2 treys (6) Brody Riffe added 4 points ... Portsmouth Clay 45 Trimble 40 end of 3 ... the final quarter of regulation saw Trimble continue to turn up the defensive pressure as Trimble had 5 more TOs in the 4th (12 in the 2nd half of regulation) a 2nd adjustment in the 4th was Trimble taking the ball inside the paint which had the Tomcats getting the line (6/8) ... Cody Jones added 7 pts in the 4th with Randy Hixon hitting a big 3 ball down the stretch ... as the Panthers did the whole game balanced scoring across the board led by Hinz 5 points ... regulation ended with a Gilliland falling away baseline as time ran out ... Trimble 59 Portsmouth Clay 59 end of regulation ... OT saw the only Panther to score was Cole Gilliland (6 points) while Trimble ended up being the balanced scoring team with Hixon 2/ Jenkins 3/ Guthrie 2/ Kameron Curry 2 ... Trimble 68 Portsmouth Clay 65 OT final ...

3-Pointers ... 6/14 ... Nate Hinz 3, Cole Gilliland 2, Cameron King 1

FT's ... 5/9

TOs ... 16


... the Portsmouth Clay Panthers have been solid all year ... the first 7 players all return for CHS ... Cole Gilliland not only had 21 points but picked up the double double with 18 rebounds - a solid inside/outside player for the Panthers ... Cameron King a very good PG will get nothing but better for the 2016 campaign add to the mix the role players Nate Hinz/Brody Riffe/Anthony Williams ... Panther Country will be pushing to get back to the Convo next year as well ...
