... going to make sure I listen to the VikingRoundball podcast tomorrow night to listen to Coach Comb's & Ty Webb's take on the Logan game Saturday night ... I haven't seen any Napkin Stats on the game yet, I'll need to rely on our resident sports guru in Logan - Craig Dunn's article in the LDN ... look forward to seeing/reading his rundown on the game ...

Not seeing West Union. I think they gave Southeastern their only loss. They are pretty good. Don't sleep on them or you might get a loss.

[Noitall]

Our Chiefs have two blowout wins against teams that were/are in your top 8, even higher at one point. Logan plays Lancaster and Athens this coming week.

Now you should know that Floyd is not going against FU .

Was it Fairfield Union that beat Bishop Watterson 43-42 recently??

Gahs El not get within 15 points with fairland, they will see a Real big man in thus game ,loveday is improving but no way he is a Vanhorne .
The dragons will run through the OVC ,one more year anyway.

Wrong post sorry

Gallia at Fairland Dec. 19th

. I think West Union Piketon was a 4 point game. They are Scrappy.

... my fault Hoopie74 ... I had Western Pike twice - West Union is at #30 (2-2) ... a good 4 point loss to Piketon and a 55-64 loss to a very good Ripley team ... West Union is staying on the radar for sure ...

I think you are short changing your Logan boys and I feel Gallia Academy is top 8.

Paint Valley just too high IMO.

... I saw Gallia Academy host Jackson last night in the French City ... I feel the teams I have in front of GAHS are in fact better at this point in the season than the Blue Devils I saw last night vs an undersized Jackson squad ... Loveday didn't dominate at the offensive end, he DID change shots from the perimeter as he was guarding Cooper Donaldson much of the second half defensively ... Peck scored 20 points in the 2nd half to prove that size does matter - he did most of that damage with a 1/2 foot or more size advantage for unimpeded layups at the rim ... as far as the rest of the GAHS team nothing special stands out - Evan Wiseman had 9 points but Jackson played solid D for the first half leading at the intermission 23-22 ... GAHS size got the "W" last vs no size for Jackson to stop it ...

... some posters have posted that Gallia will get Fairland for the OVC title ... it may happen, BUT the team I saw last night is no Fairland on paper or on the court imo ... at least not yet ... when is the first matchup between Fairland and Gallia Academy ??? THAT ONE will be worth the price of admission LOL ... if nothing else but for me to see for myself how the 2 teams matchup ...

i think that is a pretty fair assessment of seeing the Blue devils from a neutral standpoint. And even though i thought my blue devils would move into the top 8 i have no problems with the teams you have moved ahead of them. and honestly even if they handle both games next week. i could see more teams move past them depending on there schedules. i think a solid game even if they dont win at fairland may show us more where they are at.

What i will say in there favor is 3 games 3 different leading scorers... I think that will lead to find ways to beating teams several different ways. i think in the 22 regular season games we will be back to 5 or 6 kids leading the way. Loveday sort of needs to go to school off Peck on the way he presents himself down low. We will see but i think that is a pretty good display of who we are we have a lot of kids playing hard but not a lot special i think the special part will be if they can play that way every night they will.

... svac83 ... the matchup on the 19th in Fairland will be interesting to say the least LOL ... a Gallia team who wants to prove something to all - that they ARE physical, that they SHOULD BE talked about for an OVC title along with Fairland ... that Fairland group has seen it ALL as "a group" for 4 years now - they have played vs size and teams trying to muscle them inside and out - not sure much will bother them LOL ... if I keep typing I'm going to talk myself into driving 2 hours both ways to see this one LOL ...

I hope the NY boys get wind of there #33 ranking; while the Vikings sit at # 9.
Perhaps after this week & a win vs Athens, they will get some respect.

Please consider he may have made NY the biggest jump in one week in Elite 8 history

[Pa Trojan]

Trojans make the elite 8!!!!!! Glad to see it again, hope they can stay healthy and keep playing well!

Agreed, you can't jump 29 spots and still complain they are too low after 1 week.

[Falcon01]

High school kids should definitely get really upset and use these rankings to motivate them... come on! Pfloyd does an incredible job, and puts a ton of effort into SE Ohio basketball. If you take it personal or if the kids do, then that's on you/them.

Now you just motivated the Bulldogs . I'll take Athens by 10 . Before your comment it was a toss up .Lol

[bburner]

Lol indeed. Game I am looking forward to. The boys know each other & each other game. Athens will be ready for NY's speed.
