I'm with you Chieftain2009 - South IS a very good basketball team! ... good to see Coach Maddox's BBB get even with PSHS with last night's W ... Brandon Simoniette has been an outstanding add to the Warriors this season - hasn't been a BIG scorer BUT he CAN score, plays a great floor game offensively and defensively AND he does have "UPS" ! looking forward to traveling to the Warriordome Saturday night for the Logan @ Warren game - ALWAYS a great game ...

Yes, Parkersburg South falls to 6-13 and have lost 8 games by 5 points or less. They are for sure much better than record indicates. Could be a dangerous team in West Virginia postseason play.
