... taking a look down the lists there were quality wins had during the first full week/weekend of the 2009-10 Hoops campaign ... Waverly rebounded from its opening night loss to Logan Elm by picking up 2 wins - vs (2-1) Lucasville Valley (58-44) and finishing off the Peake at the Convo Saturday afternoon 63-56 ... Manchester knocked off Ironton @ I'town 66-62 ... Ironton itself had just come off of a home victory over at the time number one Chesapeake in OT 66-63 ... Jackson was a surprise easy winner over Athens 70-44 ... the Eastern Brown Warriors went to 3-0 on the season beating Fairland at the Convo 61-52 ... Reedsville Eastern continued to make believers by picking up their 4th win - beating a Huntington Ross team (50-36) which was fresh off an upset win over Piketon ... is your head spinning yet ? can you say "on any given night ...." ? ... this is exactly why as a sports fan that you have to love high school basketball - this year in particular the cream WAS at the top in the "preseason" list BUT it would seem that those same cream of the crop teams will have to "regroup" to get to the top once again as the season moves along ... finally let's give our congratulations to Coach Gary Shaffer of Washington Court House - Coach Shaffer picked up win 599 as the Lions beat Miami Trace 82-64 Friday night ...
