Waverly vs New Philadelphia Regional Semifinal

[pfloyd]

... I don't know about anyone else from here Below the Lancaster-Dixon Line BUT I'm pretty *ticked* off with the lack of respect that New Philly/NP boosters/NP Admins are giving to basketball in Southern/Southeast Ohio - SELLING "REGIONAL CHAMPS" T-SHIRTS!!!!!!! - 2 games out !!!! talk about NO RESPECT for an entire 1/4 of the state worth of hoops ... IF Waverly brings "game" like they brought vs Fairland - Kretzer being patient and just BEING KRETZER ... TEAM Tigers Hart/Kelly/White/Ward/Davis/Corcoran taking some of the scoring pressure off of "Option #1" ... a solid defensive effort, crashing the boards, scoring out of the transition game ... bottom line : those of us in the Cheap Seats want Kretzer & Co to "REPRESENT" ... send New Philly packing with a whole bunch of T-shirts that they can't sell - anywhere ...

Good luck to the Tigers in their first Regional match-up. Hopefully they are able to advance and represent our area!

[Easterneagle]

Good luck tigers!

Anyone know or have rosters for either team?

[mountaineer]

Called the new philly ad office today to see if they would ship me regional champs shirts. They said it was a typo that should read DISTRICT CHAMPS. Anyone have any info/rosters to compare match ups?

[Mr. Irrelevent]

New Philly is very well coached but very beatable. New Philly shoots 3s and lay-ups in that order, with only an occasional mid range thrown in. Early in the season they had a few games where they missed a lot of 3s and lost. Not having played at the Convo in the past will hurt them, especially from long range. If they are winning in the fourth quarter, they stall in four corners and play dribble-drive. Marietta played them very even when playing man to man against them and Zanesville, who was good, not great, beat them.

I pray that is a misprint and should say District Champions. I imagine, this could be part of the pre game talk. Talk about arrogance or stupidity. I don't know which is worse.

They are selling Regional Championship shirts at each of their schools. Now that is confidence! Must not have much respect for the lowly Tigers, Chillicothe or St. Clairsville.

the only thing i hate is something i dont like.

[Jesco White]

Let's go Waverly Tigers!!!!! Send them back to New Philly with a box full of T-shirts to wipe their tears of defeat away with!!!! The Tigers are dangerous! They've got a bona-fide stud that can take over a game and carry them offensively, a group of unselfish veterans who don't want their HS careers to end and the type of team defense necessary to compete at the highest level. Let's go Waverly!!! This Valley fan is behind you all the way!

The only thing I saw on the site was Regional T-Shirts, not Regional Champs T-Shirts. Go Tigers, anyway, from this Red Streaks fan.

Has been corrected. It originally said Regional Champs.

[Eaglesnest]

I hear the Tigers have an excellent chance of winning this game. good luck!!

Floyd, after reading your post, I had goose bumps. I wish I could get on the floor I'm so pumped up (maybe a trip down on the defensive end before I needed oxygen)! Go Tigers...you can do this! We just have to play one possession at a time and continue playing as a TEAM!

[Sheik Yerboutie]

The ordering of regional champ shirts is the ultimate showing of disrespect for an opponent. New Philly better be backing that up.

[FloorBear]

This is a lil late but are you kidding me, Waverly has firetrucks escort them after winning the districts? Please someone tell me that it was just a coincidence that the firetrucks were rushing to a fire the same time Waverly pulled into town..... Also heard they got all they could eat at KFC? I wish Jake Kretzer the best of luck in the Regional Semis but please save the embarrasement and wait til you actually get to state before doing something like that!

An escort was given to the Waverly Soccer team last year as they returned from Northwest after winning the league championship. Picked 'em up as soon as they got into town. This isn't uncommon. A city is proud of their athletics. Go Tigers.

Here's a real nice link. It provides all New Philadelphia's games with a link to the team they played, the score and box score. Should provide some nice insight.

Orange it is! Let's go Tigers!!!

Well not working that way.

Let's try it this way....Do a search for........
Zanesville High School Basketball Schedule - MaxPreps.......and then click on that link and then click on New Philadelphia.

[Sheik Yerboutie]

Looking at the New Philly schedule, it appears they were in quite a few tight games with a tough schedule. My tickets are purchased and the car is packed.

[onthepitch]

Dont know anything about New Philly so no prediction....but if the Tigers lay it all on the line and play their best they have a chance against anyone. Go Tigers bring your rally towels
The Tiger Eyes Are Upon YOU!

Best of luck to Waverly from a fellow SOC fan.
