Pfloyd's Elite 8 of Southern/SouthEast Ohio Final Edition

[LetsGoPSU]

I was shocked by the Warren loss, The Warriors handed the Trojans one of our two losses, 6 days after the Fighting Tigers gave us our first.Would have liked to have seen a Ironton-Warren contest, I think it could have been a dandy

I just had the opportunity to look at some of the Warren vs. Fairland. game pictures. All I have for you is this. A huge amount of. "Hand checking". going on. Usually on the East West direction across the body, going to the ball hand. I would really like to see the game film and provide the stills I have for future consideration of District Officials. I can see dani with head in hands again.

Dino: If my memory serves me correctly. The last time Warren played Ironton was when our Seniors were sophs. I believe they lost on a buzzer beater at Warren. The time befoe that they lost to Warren in the old school that was on a demolition list while the classic was going on at the high school. I really dont know how a Warren Ironton game would work today, but I dont suppose Ironton would be handed a win just for walkin thru the door. You are welcome to have your opinion. I have mine, and Im stickin to it.

Looking at three teams in the top 11 being eliminated, two of them by the same Fairland team.

It doesnt matter who wins , there will be three teams eliminated.

So this Warren team is rated so highly because they played a totally different Ironton team close two years ago? I agree that we all have an opinion, but that's pretty weak. I understand the SEOAL bias, we all have biases.

Dino : try and grasp this. Warren was ranked high because of consistancy, respect, and their league is well respected. If you dont get it by now you never will.

[LucasJackson]

I never will

Haha

[jimmy chipwood]

He definitely doesnt want to look at my Southeast District Top 25. I still have them ranked ahead of Fairland and Chillicothe.
