That's a pretty good top 10 list to start with. Lots of good games early.

Vinton County vs Logan Elm at Zane Trace should be a great opener for both.
Leesburg travels to Southeastern in what could be a tough opener.

Unioto did defeat VC 59-52 in last night's foundation game. Both teams looked good when they were able to get into the flow of the game and I thought Jordan Kidd made giant improvements from last year (when he was pretty darn good).

Overall, the list looks pretty good in my eyes, the top 3 could stay those 3 all year. Can't wait for next Friday.

Athens will play @ CHESAPEAKE ... @ GALLIA ACADEMY ... @ LOGAN ELM ... in the first two weeks

tall order for a group, who had players playing in the regional finals in football 4 days ago.

93Bulldog,

Could you or one of the other mods please make this thread a sticky?

[93Bulldog]

no problem

[LetsGoPSU]

Ill get involved after a week or so, just cant put a Top Ten together from Pa without seeing some results

[jottings]

I'd pick Athens in the TVC, Warren Local in the SEOAL and Chesapeake or Minford in the OVC.

Minford is not in the OVC they are in the SOC

[Pol pot]

I'd pick Athens in the TVC, Warren Local in the SEOAL and Chesapeake or Minford in the OVC.

Minford is not in the OVC they are in the SOC

But they are so good, they could win the OVC as well

Might want to move Portsmouth and Unioto. This is from pfloyd's thread:

Just left the Portsmouth/Unioto scrimmage. Unioto won 4 quarters, Portsmouth won 1 and they tied 1. Unioto has much more depth and interior size, but Portsmouth's athleticism is outstanding. Carter struggled from the outside early, but caught fire late. He looks like he's ready to take over as the man for Coach Collins. Levi Porter will be able to stretch out bigs and the pg (#1) is very quick and can knock it down from deep. Portsmouth should have another nice season and will be matchup problems for everyone they play this year.
Unioto looked very good outside of one quarter with a lot of backups in, but was solid on D and Detillion had his way inside.

For the sake of perspective.....I dunno if Unioto was missing any of its key players, however the Trojans were without the services of freshman guard Ky're Allison in the scrimmage up there. Hopefully the young Trojans can prove their worth over the course of the season.

I don't believe that Allison will be a major force in the 4 or 5 spot as a freshman. This is where we will need several others to step up this season.

I can see Portsmouth and Burg dropping off the list early . Then as the season goes on them building momentum with young players learning rolls and climbing back up the list.

Yea he won't be in the 4 or 5 however he does rebound and is another scoring threat what also wasn't noted from the scrimmage that if you totaled the quarters the Trojans were +15 or +18

I like the big kid for Unioto he caused the Trojans fits and was great at rebounding and finishing around the basket. What we had also was a very bad outside shooting effort as well as I think the Trojans made around 6 or 7 from 3 out of 50 some attempts. They just weren't falling. Still a week to work on some things and things do need worked on but that's why we play a full season and practice throughout the year to improve. Good list and good luck everyone! Hope every team has an injury free season.

Not that it matters, but the one quarter Portsmouth won(and won by 17) was against Unioto's last 5 guys, while Portsmouth played their top 6 who were there nearly the entire day. I like the small rotation that Coach Collins had to work with and the depth Coach Hoops has to work with as well. Should be a fun season.
