... jchitwood ... just finished going through the www.wearetheindians.org website - great stuff!!! gives me chills to hear the players, coaches, teachers all talking about the teams, players, coaches from Peebles Hoops History ... outstanding listen and read ... and from your post "surely there's some 8th graders in an outdoor pick up game, right?" - brought back many, many, many memories with just that statement - all of the times when IN WEATHER such as today , shoveling off the outdoor court AND yes playing pickup games - rain, snow, summer, winter. in season, out of season - it didn't matter ... sad that in most cities the pickup game has been replaced by ONLY PLAYING during some type of ORGANIZED program ... I have never been to Peebles BUT I have an inkling that "the pickup game" still IS part of the small town culture that leads to the small town PRIDE that is talked about in "We are the Indians" ...

Absolutely. It seems like every kid in town would always go down to the court behind the restaurants on main street and have a huge tournament during old timers day. Its amazing how some of them have developed as players(Blake Justice-offers from Akron and Albany, Andrew Seaman-very underrated player and should be discussed with some of the best gaurds in SEO, Treg Setty-#4 junior in Kentucky, offers from Ohio U,Miami(OH), Southern Illinois,getting looked at by Kentucky, Oklahoma St.,Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, etc.)

And throw in a free bag of our now world famous popcorn

[pfloyd]

... parade? popcorn? I'm working on getting the World Famous Purple Hippo put on a t-shirt for use as standard "hs hoops cheap seats attire" when on the Pfloyd Tour this season lol ... as far as making my way to Peebles? you just never know where the "tour" ends up going - heck if I wear the Purple Hippo it might be as good as having a "gate pass" LOL ... thanks for the offers ...

saturday trimble at amanda,ppd

[pfloyd]

... TribeManiac10/jchitwood ... I've penciled in a Peebles home game vs South Point on 1/23 (a Saturday game) for the Pfloyd Tour ... seems to me that anyone that watches the amount of high school hoops that I do - HAS TO get to Peebles to watch a game ... it's a 2 1/2 hour drive from here in the Hocking Hills ... 91 miles or so ... it's now in the Pfloyd Tour garmen lol ...

[Ironman92]

Yeah man....you really can't get from the SHL to Logan....but Peebles to Jackson is 50 minutes (50 miles on route 32)...and you can get to Jackson in an hour on 93........shouldn't take you 2 1/2 hours that way.

[pfloyd]

... what games are on the Saturday Hoops Menu? and where are they being played? ...

[Spartan]

Pfloyd,
Don't your boys in purple play at Nerk tonight?

[pfloyd]

... Spartan you are correct ... the Purple boyz ARE scheduled to go to Newark - haven't heard any word as to IF the game is still on ...

[bman]

... somewhere I found that Miami Trace vs Lynchburg Clay score BUT for whatever reason I can't find it again! that one is a tentative score until I can verify it - sorry - wrote it down as I came upon it SOMEWHERE on the puter just can't find it again in a double check ...

[pfloyd]

... in the Logan @ Newark game ... Logan shot a miserable 18% from the floor in the first quarter while the Wildcats of Newark blistered the nets at 96% taking a 28-5 lead over the Purple ... they never looked back ... Newark improved to 4-6 on the season while Logan falls to 2-4 ... on the bright side Logan was led in scoring by Patrick Angles 22 points (playing in his 2nd game since his return from a football related knee injury) ... Logan as a team was 20 for 71 for the game from the field ... if my high school math is correct that would be 28% for the game ... Newark picked up its 1442nd win in school history ...

Newark _28 ... 50 ... 80 ... 92
Logan __ 05 ... 30 ... 54 ... 69 a final ...
