Looks good as always! I'm surprised that Peebles is the only unbeaten team left, seems early for their to only be 1.

Big weekend for Athens ahead, if they get 1 W this weekend, I think it will be a good one. That's a rough trip to Chesapeake to face a very good Valley squad.

[pfloyd]

... not going to make the long drive to Akron to see Athens take on SVSM but I'll listen to the broadcast ... I WILL get to see Athens take on those Valley Indians Saturday at Chesapeake's Beasts of the Southeast ... I saw the Warren 13 point win over Valley 2 weeks ago so it will be a good comparison to see how Athens handles Dunn & Co. as well as a look at how Valley does vs a Bulldog team that is playing some really good basketball right now as they dismantled a good Circleville squad last night at McAfee in Athens ... but AHS is on the road/neutral court on the river AND will be trying to recover from the game in Akron Friday night as well as the long drives from one end of the state to another ...

[eagles73Taylor]

Floyd, Piketon is 6-5, with wins over PV, Adena, Westfall, Western, ZT and VC. Losses to BC, Unioto, SE, Waverly and Valley.

[pfloyd]

eagles73you're right !!! it will be corrected ...

[93Bulldog]

Talk about killing a bunch of birds with one stone - the BEASTS OF THE SOUTHEAST will provide a real up close and personal look at a lot of elite 8 teams!

[pfloyd]

... the Beasts of the Southeast on Saturday at Chesapeake will showcase Elite 8 numbers 2,3,4,5 & 9 throw in #'s 17,23,33 and you have a real good day of boys high school basketball .. talk about "One Stop Shopping!!!" for a hoops junky!!!

[LetsGoPSU]

great job as always Pfloyd,would love to be in town on Sat, looks like a great day of basketball

[pfloyd]

... just got a text Breaking News update : OSU canceled all classes for Tuesday 1/7/14 ... WILL there be any games going on tomorrow Below the Lancaster-Dixon Line? Logan has already canceled school - not sure about the game with Vinton County scheduled AT VC ... what has those higher up on the "food chain" heard about games for 1/7/14 ???

[pfloyd]

... saw on the Highland County Press website that Miami Trace @ McClain scheduled for tomorrow night has been ppd until Jan 18th ...

[Ty Webb]

Logan at VC has already been cancelled for tomorrow night. No makeup date as of now.

[pfloyd]

Ty Webb I'm afraid the game postponements will be a domino effect from now thru tomorrow morning uggghhhhhhhhhhhh!!! my guess the only games being played to tomorrow will be along the river ... but we will have to sit back and see ...

[wipala]

No games ppd here,,,,sunny and 70! Lol
I remember those cold cold nights working at
The Haverhill chem plant for USS

[pfloyd]

wipala you DID NOT have to say that !!! sunny and 70 !!! if there is anything I like better than basketball it's a sunny & 70 GOLF day LOL ...

[pfloyd]

... some really BIG games "to be or not to be" played 1/7/14 Tuesday night ...

Peebles @ Lynchburg Clay ... with Peebles standing as the ONLY undefeated team Below the Lancaster-Dixon Line
Portsmouth Notre Dame @ Symmes Valley ... ND can't afford another loss in league play
Minford @ Oak Hill ... how good are the Falcons - this might tell the story on the road vs Coach Persin & Co.
Coal Grove entertaining the Pointers of South Point ... SP needs this game to stay in the hunt in the OVC
Washington CH @ Desales ... How good is Elite 8 #9 Washington CH ? this game will tell us plenty, later this month Warren will take on DeSales as well, will give us a barometer reading on the Lions of Coach Bartruff ...
Marietta @ Warren ... big in that it IS a Washington County rivalry made bigger by Coach Duckworth coming back to Warrior Land for the first since taking over at MHS

[jottings]

Understand Coach Davis of Chesapeake has invited former outstanding coaches Rick Van Matre, Carl Wolfe, Jim Osborne and others to the Beast of East event on Jan. 10.

[pfloyd]

... whoa!!! jottings - THAT will be awesome!!! Talk about a Who's Who of SEO hoops coaches ... That's 107 years of "court side" head coach experience and almost 1500 total "Ws" among these 3 legends of high school hoops in SEO ... Van Matre/Osborne/Wolfe - Beasts of the Southeast - Perfect !!!

[bman]

I would be shocked if any games are played on Tuesday. Probably see some of them shifted to Wednesday.
