Beaver eastern vs leesburg fairfield 3/5

[CCC]

I feel Eastern had plenty of talent to win this game and beat webster. I just think sometimes you get out coached in certain games. I also feel the DIII sectional and district for the past 4 years are fare more difficult than the DIV matchups. Still feel Eastern underachieved and at very least been in the Regional Tourn. I think we will see ND at OSU if things fall right. They have a much better coaching staff than Eastern.

Doesn't surprise me that Fairfield won. Small Division SOC is garbage.

AGREED

CCC: ND at OSU? I assume you're meaning getting to State? I hate to say it, but with Africentric lurking for whoever makes it to the Regional Finals, it will be a tall order (we saw what they did to Eastern last year and Webster in 2005). I do agree that D3 is much tougher from top to bottom, but it should be as they are bigger schools. With that being said, I believe the top D4 schools can compete with the top D3 schools most years...it's the bottom D4 teams that would have no prayer.

Fred: if you follow the yearly threads on the Valley D4 Sectional, you'll realize there are alot of people calling for a Super Sectional/changes due to the shenanigans that goes on every year at the seeding meeting.*

AGREED

CCC- Must be one of those fence straddlers. Who ever wins is who he likes. You just stated that you think ND will make it to state and then call the conference garbage. Is it this way or that way????? hmmmmmmmmmm.....

[Eaglesnest]

I have a few thoughts to offer. The first half was horrible for the Eagles and they looked very nervous. In the end, they dug too big of a hole and it cost them the game. Too many missed boxed outs, free throws, and open shots. The second half was what we from Beaver have come to expect from this team. Hard nosed defense and hustle. Unfortunately, the last shot rolled out that could have tied the game. The Eagles lost as a team.

Fairfield really impressed me. Their guard is one of the best I have seen this season regardless of division. Eastern wore him out, but he still managed to score in spite of numerous double teams. Fairfield's post guys dominated the middle. South Webster must control the paint in order to have a chance win.

As to CCC, you are a LOSER. By trashing leagues you are trashing kids? Why are you running Eastern and their staff down when Minford went out at the same point in the tourney? Show some class

If the name GreenDevils reps North Adams, this guy may just be mad about his team getting anhilated by Ironton the other night. If not sorry to North Adams you boys just ran into a buzz saw.

[juanmorales]

Come on guys CCC is really kewl!!! He was hoping Eastern lost this game so you couldn't say Eastern>Minford. Probably the Rowe kids dad or something

[Lightle04]

It's not Rowes dad . His dad is a class act. Why is it there has to be someone to blame when 2 good teams play there can only be one winner and its pretty classless to trash young men on a sight like this my son not I have ever claimed his greatness . Colton plays hard is a great team mate. Lands is great and I think every team would love to have more than one great player. That's common since. The Eagles had a tuff draw but you have to win the games your faced with regardless . Why can't it just be 2 good teams played and last night Fairfield was the better team. Keep kids names out of your mouths unless its a positive statement. Fairfield is very good as I have stated all year. It's crazy how ppl come to a sight hide behind a user name and trash kids. If you want to dog adults then dog them but leave the kids alone.

[dirt_cinders]

Lightle - agree. you quickly learn the identity of those posters with character. You listen to their opinions and give merit to what they have to say. Just the same, there are others on the flip side. I am not sure there is anything reasonable they will listen to --- they could be a 12 year old kid for all we know.

Eastern had a great season. ND will have our work cut out for us -- we had a Hail Mary shot Monday night that kept us in a game we looked to come up short in.

No one takes a loss tougher than the kids and coaches. I have went to the locker rooms after games -- it always changed my perspective when I was upset in a loss. True character comes in how we handle to tough times not the easy ones.

My point exactly. Everyone wanted to run coach shoemaker and his staff down when minford lost. Why can't it just be 2 good teams played e.g. Minford and Crooksville was the better team on that night it wasn't for a lack of coaching thats crap. Why doesn't someone poll the players so you can get an unbias opion instead of listening to all the jelous monday morning quarter backs in the stands. Keeping the kids names out of mouths unless its a positive statement is the way it should be BUT as I recall on the Minford Crooksville thread it wasnt the case. Everyone wanted to get on here and talk about transfers, regrets of players such as Rowe leaving, etc. Rowe is a FALCON 4 life deal with it and he will make a hugh impact next year on our ball club PERIOD! It's never fun when the tables are turned but if you think us Falcons are going to stand by and allow that crap to happen on this site your wrong.

CCC

The only trashing that I've seen of anyone on Minfords team was not of the kid who transfered from Eastern to Minford. I'm really confused about where you're coming from on this, if any of the normal Eastern guys have posted anything negative about Minford I'd be really shocked to see it. I've only seen postive things posted on Minford threads from Eagle posters. Most of the guys who post in support of our Eagles are always respectful so it seems like you're trying to stir up some crap if you ask me.

[juanmorales]

Wow! Lets get back to the topic. Not sure why we are talking Minford on a Fairfield/Eastern P. thread, thats old news. Someone mentioned this earlier but I agree, the Williams kid should have been in talks for District POY, if not THE District POY. He's putting that team on his back and they are gonna go as far as he wants them to!

agreed, but as I recall this post was placed on the Minford Crooksville tread by YOU! "Wow was I wrong about this one. Good call to the guy that said Crooksville was capable. Minford def underachieved this year. You can call it a good season, but I wouldn't. The Rowe kid has to regret transferring now. Should have stayed at EP where they are going to make a deeper tourney run no doubt. Not sure what the big thing about Minford was to them going there but tough decision to make. I think losing McBee is HUGE. Stapleton isn't anywhere near McBee and Rowe isn't there yet, if he'll ever be. McCray is about to go big time in football I wouldn't be surprised if he just focuses on football which he should"

Now my point has been made. Cut the crap about running teams and coaches down! Mccray will play, rowe doesn't regret transfering and Stapleton is going to be great. add justice and gullion and Minford will make major noise next year. BACK OFF!

OOO
OOO
LLLL

[juanmorales]

Yawn CCC. Quit crying!! Is it me or is this guy just surfing threads making sure no one says anything bad about Minford? get a life! Again, Minford is old news. I could care less about them at this point of the year bc it's Spring sports time for them. Good luck to Muletown in their future.

[SOCFAN1430]

I agree Buzz

Q Williams is a really good player, he willed his team to the win last night. He is and should be a 1st team All District selection in all polls as he was in the AP.

The Eagles go out rebounded and out hustled in the 1st half and it was a little to much to get over in the 2nd. Fairfield is a good team and they were better than Eastern last night.

I want to thank the Eagle Seniors for all their hard work and dedication to helping keep the tradition of Eastern basketball alive and well.

Chad Lands, Tavares Pickett,Colton Lightle, Zack Polen, Matt Alley, Brandon Murphy, Matt Dyke and Alex Phipps

Wow. I agree I thought this was eastern/Fairfield thread? But I might as well give my 2 cents. Keep your heads up eastern, better days will come with hard work. You have just as good a chance as minford to make it back so don't listen to this ccc dude. By the way, the way you talk ccc you act like minford is some kind of basketball powerhouse? I've been around a while and can't really agree with your claims/assumptions. I can remember a lot of "good" Falcon teams (in all sports) that consistently have an early exit in the tournament each and every year. Not bashing the KIDS at minford, great kids and keep working hard. But these fans/parents/etc need to get their facts straight, ESP when talking about southeastern ohio basketball. Because you won't find the falcons on anyone's list of powerhouse basketball programs... In the recent past and beyond. Good luck to the KIDS at e pike and minford in the coming years. Pleasure to watch you play this season.

what hole did eastern dig? what was fairfield's biggest lead in the first half?

Sorry CCC,
But you are dogging Eastern based upon Buzz's posts? Ask him if he is an Eastern fan or poster regularly? SOCFAN1430, how many Eastern posts have you seen out of Buzz?

Minford will be fine next year. The Eagles will be fine. Hopefuly both make it back to the Convo! Go trash up another thread!
