Pfloyd's Elite 8 of Southern/SouthEast Ohio Week #11

[Waterboy]

Coal grove should've dropped back to their 20 spot after the egg they laid at Ironton. Maybe it'll put things back in to perspective and open there eyes again. That was the worst played game of the year

[Ukfanatic]

Pflyod as usual thanks for all of your on this list. I personally would have Waverly ahead of Piketon, Zane Trace and West Union. However I am fine with where they are. I realize you haven't had a chance to see them live in season and that hurts them as well. They were misssing two starters when you seen them at Unioto. Makes a difference. In the end if they would have won some of the close ones they would be higher. Very good showing in losses to Wheelersburg and Fairland. But those two teams are probably playing as well as anybody in southern Ohio now. Loss to Jackson hurt as that was probably our worst played game. We see them again in the tournament and I like our chances. Was concerned about Galia' size.

WAVERLY LOSSES
#1 Fairland (very close game yesterday)
#9 Oak Hill (at Oak Hill early)
#9 Oak Hill (at home very close game)
#10 Eastern Pike (very close game)
#14 Jackson (at Jackson - very close game - probably Waverly's worst played game)
#15 Wheelersburg (at Wheelersburg very close game a week ago)

... all of these are "L's" on the handy dandy pocket schedules , all are ranked in front of Waverly in part due to their wins over the Waverly's on THEIR schedules ... when it gets to be THIS time of the year it DOES come down to Wins and Losses not close wins or close losses ... I look at this as 6 opportunities to move up the rankings that went astray ... now tell me which of the other 10 teams in the top 15 you would put Waverly in front of based on the remaining schedule of wins for Waverly ... on a side note I thought Waverly would be a very good team when I saw them at the Super Shootout at Unioto during the summer ...

I clearly stated I wasn’t arguing your rankings.
But since ukfanatic said it, I agree, would put them ahead of Piketon, Zane Trace and West Union. But, that’s just our opinion, and without opinions this wouldn’t be fun.

... opinions are ALL good ! not agreeing with my rankings is ALL good too !! as was pointed out, I have not seen Waverly inperson during the season - doing so would give me a better handle on the Tigers than just the records/posts etc. it would give a better basis to compare WHS with the 14 other teams in front of Waverly that I have seen inperson this season ...

[Pa Trojan]

another great week of basketball. followed by this great post.Trojans finish the regular season at home, hosting South Webster and Ironton, the best time of the year has arrived. Go Trojans!

[Cameron34Crazie34]

Portsmouth West is actually 8-10. Also great work as always, pfloyd!

[OHHS old timer]

... Looks like "the pfloyd tour" will give the Sheridan Generals a 2nd "look" tomorrow night as Sheridan takes on Maysville at Maysville HS ... my last eye test on Sheridan was an unimpressive "W" over a scrappy New Lex Panther squad at Sheridan ... tomorrow at Maysville , then I will travel up to Sheridan on Monday the 19th to see Fairfield Union take on Sheridan to wrap-up the regular season ...

[Penguin]

I look for Warren to have a say in D2, Maddox is second to none in discipline, fundamentals and preparation.

After their 45-15 win over Fort Frye tonight, the seniors at Waterford accomplished an impressive feat. The young ladies collected their 100th win as varsity basketball players for the Wildcats! Considering teams only play a 22 game regular season schedule - and this years tournament has yet to even begin - that 100 wins is amzing.

2018 (20-1) ... ?
2017 (25-4) ... state runner up
2016 (28-1) ... state champion
2015 (27-2) ... state runner up


... I always post at least one girls basketball post on Floyds rankings every year ... haha

[Smeltzy]

Fairfield Union with their second win over Circleville in 2 nights.

This win clinches their 3rd straight MSL title. Great accomplishment for this Senior class.

LOL ... this was definitely a random post 93bulldog ! BUT definitely a GREAT accomplishment by those lady Wildcats - Wow ... pfloyd tips his hat to this milestone ... speaking of random thoughts , I was looking at the lineup for the 3 Weeks of the Convo , Basketball 30 ... 93dog WE HAVE SEEN some great matchups over the many years we have watched games together in A'town haven't we ?!!!

[pfloyd]

93bulldog ... do you recall sitting in the Cheap Seats and seeing "baby Shaq" Aaron Agnew of Bellaire walking out of the tunnel ??? 6-10 , 330 lbs. THE BIGGEST man/child I have ever seen at the Convo ... 2004 beating Ironton in the regional semi's , then beat Chesapeake by 3 in the final to get to the final 4 in C'bus ... of course his soph sidekick Nate Davis who went on to score over 2000 points in his hs hoops career ... great game vs the 'peake ! the 'peake 3 points shot to tie was all the way down before spinning out ... Agnew was HUGE !!! LOL ... went to Iowa State to play basketball but ended up leaving for a college football college career , can't remember where he ended up ... good times !

haha the other night at Logan Elm, I was talking to Coach Stiverson about that very game and Agnew.

First big guy comes out of tunnel for Bellaire, Pfloyd says "He isn't that big"
But then Angnew comes out ... Pfloyd says "Holly Sh**, what is that?"

lmao

Great games indeed over the years! My favorite day still was the championship Saturday when we had 5 games starting with Vinton County vs Dante Jackson and Greenfield McClain at noon ... Amazing day of games ... Cam Thouroughman and Clay, Aldride for Webster, Waginger/Gaigai and company for Ironton, Cozart/Dill/Simpson and the Eastern boys led by Howie Caldwell, the Tomcats and sparkplug A.J. Jenkins, a young P.J. Rase and Peake ... what a lineup that was, unreal from noon till 10:00PM.

Thoughts on Sheridan Maysville game? Should be a good one Monday!

I don't think you have much ground to stand on with that thought ukfanatic.
Waverly 4/6 vs teams with winning records if I'm correct. Piketon is 4/4 vs winning records.
Four of those six losses for Waverly are from D3 schools.
Three of Piketon's four losses are to D2 schools.
Plus Waverly has played 8 D3 schools and 6 D2 schools. Piketon has played 7 D3 school 4 D2 schools. Both schools have the exact number of 8 teams they have beat with losing records.
Seems that Piketon make a fairly strong argument to be ranked ahead of Waverly.

[pfloyd]

... a question for the masses : are there any regular season games being played after Monday 2/19 ???? my thought is that I will wait to put out Week #12 of the Elite 8 AFTER Monday the 19th ( if that is the last day of the regular season ...

[Chieftain2009]

Logan plays Massillon Perry on 2/19.
