Pfloyd,

Valley is now 13-2, as they went 2-0 last week with wins over Northwest (Tuesday) and Wheelersburg (Friday), giving the Indians 12 wins in a row.

I was starting to worry when I hadn't seen a post from you in several days. I'll continue to keep you in my prayers. I have no doubt you're gonna beat your "opponent" handily!!

Has Meigs played Gallia Academy? Gallia is down but butter than Meigs.

Eastern Brown, Peebles and Southern need to be a little higher IMO

Great job as always love all you do for high school basketball! My prayers are with you.

Fairland is now 13-3

Fairlandis13-3 overall. They were 11-3 won both games this week. Good luck next week to pfloyd!

Gallia wiped the floor with meigs

And they should certainly be above them

Good list Floyd ... Love seeing the Tornadoes that high ... lol ... Watch out for my 'Dogs too buddy - they switched to a 'lock down' defensive style and it seems to be working.

They just beat VC 46-37 ... They beat Jackson 42-36 ... And they only allowed Warren to score 46 points during a 46-34 loss.

Hope you feeling better Floyd - I really hope you make it to the Convo! It won't be the same without ya man.

... 93dog ... that's my "game plan" - to be back by the 3 Weeks of the Convo ... as Jesco White posted - the plan is to beat this "opponent" - I don't know how to lose and I'm not going to start now ... I will be at the Convo ...

Darn it ... I was hoping I wasn't gonna have to pay up on that box of popcorn ... lol

J/K Floyd ... I would gladly bye you a box for every night if mean't you'll be their in full spirits ... I might have to take out a loan to do so - but I'd get-r-done.

I'm so excited about the Convo I can't even stand it Floyd ... The possible D2 match-ups with the best coming out of the Logan sectional versus Chilli and all those boys from the Adena sectional ... All the great D3 teams doing battle with The Peake, Ironton and Portsmouth leading the way ... And I know your not a huge D4 fan - but I can't wait for the classic TVC-Hocking versus those Whiteoak/Fairfield/Manchester teams ... Any chance we can just fast forward time and get on with the district tourney tomorrow?

Prayers for you PFloyd as you continue to dethrone the enemy. My better half has been through breast and thyroid cancer in the past 6 years. She is cancer free and a walking testimony!! But as in all things in life, God has the final sayso!! Be blessed. I was going to try and meet you in Chesapeake, but there was way too much purple in the house. Maybe at the convo!!

skidaddy ... give your " better half" a hug every single day my friend ... and thank you ... I WILL BE at the Convo - I wouldn't know where else to be in March !!! LOL ...

Pfloyd, thanks for the great job as usual keeping us misplaced southern Ohio boys, and girls informed of the happennings of Southeastern Ohio hoops. My prayers are with you, as you continue to fight off and defeat this damnable enemy!

God bless and best wishes for a successful surgery and a speedy recover, pfloyd, so you can enjoy the fine cuisine and basketball the Convo has to offer during Basketball 30.

Less than two weeks until the draw, and teams are positioning themselves for those good seeds. Two of them, Logan Elm and Circleville, have big games against fellow sectional foes this week - CHS @ Jackson on Tuesday and LE @ Fairfield Union on Friday. LE is @ WCH on Tuesday and CHS @ Teays Valley on Friday. Road warriors this week for the Braves and Tigers.

I'll be taking in the Circleville @ Teays game Friday and then watch a warming up Westfall squad @ Teays on Saturday.

Pfloyd, the entire committee of " THE BEAST OF THE SOUTHEAST"WILL HAVE YOU ON THEIR PRAYER LIST,GOD BLESS.

Just finished the pre-op bloodwork , met with the anesthesiologist , an EKG is complete ... waiting to do a Nuclear Stress test - we're having fun now!!! LOL

A Nuclear Stress test??? Isn't that what coaches go through when their player is on the foul line with 1 second to go trailing by 1?
A Nuclear Stress test? Isn't that what PFloyd puts 93Bulldog through when he doesn't have Southen ranked high enough?
A Nuclear Strees test = WAITING FOR THE DISTRICT TOURNEY TO GET UNDER WAY!

* Good luck Floyd!

(BTW - Click over on the girls forum and share a Katie Smith story on her topic.)

prayers for you out of Pa, the good Lord will be hearing prayers from everywhere all week Im sure. Portsmouth-Chilli, does it get any better?
