I had the pleasure to see Peebles a number of times this season - vs New Boston, vs Trimble, vs Federal Hocking & in the post season wins over Crooksville and last night vs Ironton St. Joseph - each time an Indians W each time the Indians showed improvement over the last time I saw them play - which is the mark of a quality TEAM "learning every time they step on the court" ... best of luck in regional play !!!

Very nice. Great work my friend.

I so love your napkin stats and the text brings the games to life. Thanks for what you all do.

Please come pfloyd! I am sure Father Huffman will gladly give you a tour of our beautiful gym, now in it's second season. Our Parish Life Center is more than just a place to play ball.

highflyer ... pfloyd WILL make the trip ... it's in print here on SEOPs ... I had posted with your W over Federal Hocking that I had not ranked you high enough in the rankings ... last year it was the same with the SHAC teams - told them I would make a concerted effort to get to see the SHAC teams this past season - I did that went to the Lynchburg Clay shootout during the summer, saw Whiteoak early, Peebles, North Adams, Eastern Brown ... I will be going back to Lynchburg this summer to see what the SHAC returns for 2021 ... will look to see more teams west of Rte 23 next season ... AND now I have made the same "post" to get to the river to see not only Chesapeake, Fairland,New Boston but some more of the good small D4 schools - ISJ, Green ... more of the teams Lucasville Valley is on my must see teams next season as well ... trojandaves Portsmouth Trojans, along with the usual cast of teams - Wheelersburg, South Webster, Minford - the good thing is that many of these schools are traveling closer to where pfloyd is in the Logan/Athens area to play non-conference games ... but I WILL make the trip next season to see the new (this year) facility for ISJ ...

... you will probably get 2 SEOPsters for the price of one as LucasDavenport said that he would meet pfloyd at ISJ when I make the trip ... so ISJ will have the game updates from LD and a post game rundown as well LOL ...

...looking forward to making the trip ! - pfloyd

Pfloyd, great recap as always.

The St. joseph facilities are top notch. great place to watch a game. People are extremely friendly and food is good. Not sure if they have twizzlers so you may want to stock up before you go pfloyd.

LOL, Twizzlers are optional Ukfanatic LOL ... I will be definitely adding ISJ to the 2020-21 Pfloyd Tour - good basketball, good food, good people - the kind of draw that will get pfloyd to gymnasium near you LOL ...
