Pfloyd's Elite 8 of Southern/SouthEast Ohio Week #10

[Hoopie74]

I'm going to call a "truce" between ALL sides on this matter - IF CG & OH fans want to "discuss" their thoughts on Saturday's game - do it on the game thread ... IF the CG supporters now coming out of the woodwork want to "beat their chests" - do it on the game thread ... the game is in the books ... from an outsiders viewpoint what was a good "W" by CG ... from the posts of many other seops posters in the many weeks before this game (from Dec on) Coal Grove is a good basketball team ! ( not sure where all of the CG posters were back then - but I digress) let them be good ! the supporters who are bashing OH , bashing anyone who has a different point of view only - as I posted on the game thread - only diminishes the W and the what the team has done on the court ...

... one of the newbie CG posters posted that "P Floyd was bias for Oak Hill" - I'm bias for ALL teams that have quality coaches (Coach Persin) , quality players, quality programs, quality fans ... hell yes I'm bias ... I have done my rankings for almost 20 years , I have seen many many quality coaches, met many many quality coaches , players, fans from ALL across Southern/Southeastern Ohio ... I WILL ALWAYS give props to , consideration to those quality programs due to the coaches philosophy ... here's the short list : Warren Local, Vinton County, Fairfield Union, Logan Elm,Oak Hill, Eastern Brown, Chesapeake, Fairland, Portsmouth, Chillicothe, Eastern Pike, Trimble, Unioto, Peebles, Zane Trace,Jackson, Waverly, Piketon, Circleville, Washington CH,Ironton, Lynchburg Clay, Fairfield Leesburg, Western Pike ... they are on the short list because the coaching staffs, the Head Coach do/does it right ... no matter the talent levels of these programs the kids learn the game of basketball, the fundamentals of the game ... these programs are THERE - near the top every year - not because "pfloyd is bias for them" - ALL of these programs are at the top the SouthEast District in their respective divisions because of the head coaches and the programs developed by those coaches ...

... when I go to make my "Pre-season" rankings as a starting place I start with this group and what they bring to the table for the season ... other schools may have " good seasons" even "outstanding seasons" by any standard but the teams on my shortlist - these schools, coaches get it done every single year ... so to the CG poster who NEEDED to post that "P Floyd is bias for Oak Hill "- you are right ! if push comes to shove the Oak Hill's of SouthEastern Ohio have earned my respect by what the coaches - like Coach Persin - does with their program year in year out ... I'm guilty as charged ...

Pfloyd, tonight Coach Beucler and the Eastern Brown Warriors took on Coach Areys Peebles Indians . The game was a rough one that had my Indians coming away with a 54-49 victory. The Indians shot just 37 shots but made 18. The warriors shot 60 but made 17. The defensive was vicious. Warriors turned the ball over 8 times Indians turned it over 11 times. Great game and coached well by both coaches. I believe this is the best year of coaching from Coach Arey so far. Smoke and mirrors but the Indians are getting it done. Tanner Arey again had 29 points tonight. Congrats Indian on clinching the SHAC Dll title tonight.

pfloyd and mailman: you guys know what you're talking about with Notre Dame as they upset Ironton St. Joe tonight 55-54 according to Twitter. Saw them play Webster earlier in the year and was real impressed with their freshmen...especially the Shipp kid.*

Wheelersburg at Adena for tonight has been cancelled and it sounds like it will not be made up. Adena hosts a Sectional next week through the week, so I would imagine that the locations would need to change for that to even happen

Hoopie74,
I’m with you on the job Coach Arey has done this year. And to be honest I think he is one of the better young coaches in all of Southern Ohio.

I don't see anyone making it far in the sectionals from the Ohio side of the TVC--how about the Hocking side?

[hawkeyepierce]

Are you serious? Making it far in the sectionals? Well, I think really no matter where we may fall in the seeding, that being above a 7 seed, we are in the sectional finals. Meaning, we have to win one game to get to the Convo. Furthermore, if the projection on here is true by some of the most intelligent of men behind a keyboard, if Athens plays Vinton County, I can guarantee that an Ohio team will make it to the districts and thus, the Convo.

Pfloyd: thought you may want to know. Beau Justice needs 37 points for 1000 at Valdosta State. They are Dll #9 in the country.

Had a big shootout in Ptown tonight,even though my Trojan's came up a little short they played one hell of a game ,taking gallia academy into double overtime and losing by two points,and we had two shots from three point line that bounced off the rim that would have gave us the W.

Great game by both teams,loveday scored 30 ,and DJ eley had 29 for Portsmouth, congrats to the bluedevil on the hard fought win .

[Lightle72]

Big game for my nephew and the Waverly Tigers tomorrow as they go to Chesapeake and play Fairland.
