[Hoopie74]

As always Trimble vs Peebles will feature two of the best Southeastern ,Ohio coaches.Howie and Josh are motivators and teachers who get the most of their squads. Peebles has been playing motivated basketball as of late and are learning who they are. Howie has his team firing on all cylinders and is hosting this game.
That being said ,this Indian fan thinks that the Tomcats will have the advantage being the home team. Coach Josh Arey and the Indians will play hard . I believe this is Coach Areys best coaching year to date. 3 Quarantines and very few practices ,but; getting on the court every chance they could have made me a fan of these resilient 2021 Peebles Indians. Safe travels all and see ya Wednesday.

Trimble should win by 10 but Peebles might make it super interesting.

Trimble honestly too much...

Trimble 59

TVC Round-Up

DIV District Semi-Finals

After sectional championship wins Saturday, the Trimble Tomcats and Federal Hocking Lancers begin district tournament play this Wednesday when they welcome a pair of Southern Hills League teams to Athens County. Trimble (18-3) will face Peebles (11-6) at William White Gymnasium and Federal Hocking (15-4) takes on Fairfield (9-11) inside McInturf Gymnasium in Stewart. But don’t let the mediocre records or lower seed fool you, Peebles and Fairfield play in the rugged SHL, which may be the most competitive basketball league in the Southeast District. Eastern Brown, Whiteoak, North Adams, Lynchburg-Clay, Manchester - and Peebles/Fairfield – have all enjoyed great success and long tournament runs over the years. Fairfield in particular is notorious for showing up at the Convocation Center with a sub .500 record, but ends up being one of the better DIV teams there. Playing stiff competition all season long inside their own league, more often than not, prepares the SHL teams for post season play. They eat, breath and sleep basketball over on the west side of the district and most of the schools don’t even have football teams – it’s all about the round ball.

The game in Glouster will be particularly interesting as it includes two of the best coaches in the entire district with Howie Caldwell and Josh Arey. It also will be a match-up of our two 2020 DIV district champions, except the game is at William White which will be a nice advantage for the Tomcats. Peebles is coming off a 17-point win over South Gallia in the sectional finals, a team that Trimble beat by 10 and 15 this season. The match-up in Stewart should be very intriguing as well after the Lions surprisingly handled Ironton St. Joe on Saturday, the same Ironton St. Joe team that ended the Lancers season a year ago. Going on the road doesn’t seem to be an issue for Fairfield either as Saturday’s game took place in Ironton – but a spirited McInturf Gymnasium Wednesday will undoubtedly be a different animal. But again, don’t let the (9-11) record fool you. Fairfield lost to Peebles twice, once by 3 points and again by 6 and also took the No. 3 seed in D2, Hillsboro, to the wire before losing 55-51.

An inside look at the TVC vs SHL this year in the tournament.
Including boys and girls basketball, the TVC is (0-6) vs the SHL thus far. On the girl’s side: Peebles ended Belpre’s season by defeating the Lady Golden Eagles 59-33, and then did the same to the Lady Tomcats 66-40. Eastern Brown girls knocked Alexander out with a 62-34 win. On the boy’s side: Peebles defeated South Gallia 67-50, North Adams ran past Nelsonville-York 77-61 and Eastern Brown cruised past Alexander 74-45. The TVC is yet to even stay close to an SHL team during the post season – perhaps that changes Wednesday night. Both games can be heard live on 105.5FM or 97.1FM or via the Power 105 app.

Well done...to add to it Fayetteville advanced to the district finals in the SW.

[WonderNova]

And Fayetteville beat another SHAC team to advance, Ripley.

[93Bulldog]

Is it no longer the SHL?

SHAC is the correct label?

Southern Hills Athletic Conference....circa 2015ish?

Only 81 tickets available to Peebles for this tilt. Peebles is used to bringing 5 to 7 hundred to a district game,haha! Hope it is on some kind of live stream at the very least.

Is that an increase from 15% to 25% or is that just going to be ignored everywhere?

I have no clue. Not sure how many fans Trimble's gym holds normally.

[93Bulldog]

Trimble is only one side. Not a very big gym.

[danicalifornia]

15% of 1100 is 165. From my expierence at Trimble (it’s been 15ish years), I’d say 1100 might be the high end of how many they can fit.

The tickets for the postseason are supposed to be distributed evenly. So, I’d imagine 81 is about right, if not even stretching it.

[Bulldog84]

I promise you that Trimble will have more than 81 fans at this game. I have watched some of their games on the local cable and they are definitely letting the fans in.

That was for professional sports that have much larger facilities. There has been no direction other than must maintain social distance. Many places cannot hold more with social distancing. Look for no change.
