SE District Varsity Team

[Ironman92]

Let’s make a 12 player team...list some you’d put on it.

Logan Swackhammer 6’0 PG (Unioto)
Tanner Perdue 6’0 guard (Piketon)
Cole Landis 6’7 forward (Logan)
Darby 6’5 small forward (Oak Hill)
Dylan Swingle 6’9 center (Paint Valley)
Zack Loveday 7’0 center (Gallia Academy)
Naylan Yates 6’3 guard (Vinton Co)
Eric McLaughlin 6’3 guard (Lynchburg Clay)
Bo Myers 6’4 guard (Logan)

And....best two or 3 Fairland players (someone tell me me how you rank the top Fairland players for this)

Who else we adding? Woodside from FU? Landon Carroll shooting guard (Oak Hill) Speakman from VC? Arey from Peebles? Maughmer of Chillicothe? Blevins from South Webster? Holden from Wheelersburg?

What’s your team?

[Dragon's Lair]

No way to rank top Fairland players. They are all unselfish and do their job. That is why they are very good. They are a TEAM!

[bbjunky81]

Holden has several D1 offers, I think he’s a lock for the list.

PG - Maughmer 6’1”
SG - Holden 6’6”
SF - Landis 6’7”
PF - Loveday 7’0”
C - Swingle 6’9”

That’s my starting 5.. first subs would be

F - Van Horn 6’8”
F - Woodside 6’5”
G - Yates 6’3”
G - Swackhammer 6’0”
G. - Perdue 6’0”

Looking at these names shows us we take it for granted how much collegiate level talent is here in SE Ohio.

They are also very good because they have 3-4 players worthy of discussion on this thread.

you could also just rank them 1-3 based off their unselfishness.

That's a solid top 5. I'd take Swackhammer at point over Maughmer and Purdue at the 2 over Holden

I agree with Swack and Perdue. But if it were my team, I'd want L.Carroll from Oak Hill at the other guard spot. Those 3 would bring a lot of scoring/shooting capability from a guard perspective, excellent court awareness and a desire to hit the open teammate.
I'm ready to lace up my 1995 Jordan's and scrimmage this squad.

[Hoopie74]

Arey played behind Justice and Gordley for his high school career. This year he is averaging around 26 ppg. He is a leader of a team that is currently 8-2. Assists ,steals ,points,rebounds he does it all.Arey can play on any team.

[Firebreather]

I'll take van horn over loveday all day every day. Love day has more upside but he's not even close in the post

[Tri-StateYouthSports]

I'll 2nd that

[danicalifornia]

Agreed. Loveday is going to be special, but Van Horn already is. It was really fun to watch Van Horn against SVSM, he looked like the best player on the court and kept the Irish out of the lane until his 4th foul when they could finally attack.

I'm a big fan of Loveday too, but you can never underestimate 2 more years of experience, basketball IQ, maturity, and strength.

[Unbiased]

I would also agree with Van Horn over Loveday. Loveday is a solid young player, but Van Horn looks to be more skilled and physically stronger. He’s having a great season. Also, for the sake of this conversation, I would not overlook Fairland’s other players such as their former District Player of The Year in Isaiah Howell, and Luke Thomas. Carroll out of Oak Hill also deserves his name thrown in this conversation, love conversations like this.

[bc181700]

SEOhio has some great talent, and some players with great discipline to fit into a TEAM, and also some players with great basketball IQ.
It’s tough to get 12 names, but wow, this is a fun conversation and eye-opening to the fortune we have in HS Ball in our area right now.

[svac83]

I understand why some of you guys would not put loveday first team. But I would suggest you watch him play now. Since Peck moved on someone or thing has lit a fire under this kid. He is getting much more physical and owning his spot in the paint and much more aggressive on the offense and defensive ends.

I was disappointed in his play the first 8 or 9 games. Besides that if I had a team it would have to have Howell from fairland on it. Unlimited range and eyes in the back of his head to find a teammate

[Hoopie74]

I have thrown Tanner Areys name in the mix. I know a SHAC player has trouble getting in to this conversation. Peebles and Arey and Piketons Tanner Perdue will line up Tuesday night at Peebles for the last time. They have battled with and against each other since grade school. I think they both played on the same team in grade school or Jr high Good luck to both.I also think both players are averaging 24 plus points per game.Should be a great contest.

I started this thing with a McLaughlin and Arey mentions

Yep and I appreciate and thank you. Tanner Arey is a gamer that was always role player behind some very good players. This is his year to shine and he is. Thanks !

[NewEra]

I'd add Arey from Peebles and Holden from Wheelersburg, also probably 2-3 from Fairland I just don't want to butcher their names trying to spell them.
