Struggling? Name of the game is win....unless pfloyd giving style points

biggdowgg !!! you KNOW it is going to come down to which school has the best hot dogs, and offers pfloyd a T-Shirt !!! LOL
…
Portsmouth, Unioto, Athens ??? so far with their respective schedules they have all 3 held serve … no one has blinked … I've been trying to stay away from the "1a, 1b, " this year … so we are going to have some upset fans when in fact the rankings are even closer than the 1., 2., 3. etc. … all of the teams are getting into stretches where they WILL BE pushed to hold their rankings - Warren for example travels to Wheeling Park in their next game, 93dog laid out Athens tough road to stay at #2 facing Circleville on the road, Warren on the road, not to mention Akron SVSM, Bishop Watterson … Portsmouth will face Warren, Logan again, Chesapeake a couple of times, Chillicothe (minus Tommy Bolte) … Unioto in the SVC has to bring their "A" game every night it seems … the top rankings WILL shift for sure as the season rolls on …
…
Chillicothe. Miami Trace, Circleville bringing up the final 3 spots in the Elite 8 … as I've posted before Chillicothe has been without Tommy Bolte (imo one of the BEST players SEO) for 4 games including a 3 point road loss to Miami Trace who played with all of the Pettifords on the court … Miami Trace has played minus one Pettiford for the last 2 games - Wilmington would beat every team in SEO by the 20 -30+ points they have been winning by - the Logan Elm game was a shorthanded game for MT as well … ALL 3 are good basketball teams - are they deserving of Elite 8? through 2 weeks I say yes … those on the Treehugger list are pushing them with Minford being looked at closely this past week - losing on a last second shot to Watterson 49-51 …
… a question was brought up about overlooking
Paint Valley, Adena, Southeastern ??? … I look over no one … I've seen all 3 teams play - I LIKE them ALL … have told a number of coaches that I thought Paint Valley and Adena both have a couple of the most talented starting 5's that I have seen this season … talent on the court has to equate to "W's" in the big games …
Paint Valley's best win to date is vs a 3-2 Westfall team - losing in both of their key match ups with Unioto and Southeastern …
Southeastern's marque "W" is vs Paint Valley 52-44 so far …
Adena's biggest win is vs Westfall , losing by 24 to Unioto in a chance to impress the committee …
… I like the overall strength of the SVC !!! I even look at "good losses" for teams up and down the rankings ( Logan moved up in losing to Unioto and Portsmouth after Week 1) … teams starting in the Elite 8 were there for reasons - not arbitrarily - returning players, coaching, etc. … I give them a little leeway to start the season - a "prove me wrong" attitude on my end BUT if teams don't come around and get it done … others who do show me they deserve to move up WILL …
93dog … Trimble IS moving up … Belpre, Miller, Crooksville - combined 4-12 so far … Coach Caldwell's boys HAVE my attention … I will get out to see them soon ...
