2018/19 TVC Hocking

[pfloyd]

More than one ... Nevan Yates and a very good incoming freshman both will be Ironmen this season ...

[VetteMan]

Thanks Ployd! I'm not from Jackson, so I didn't know what to believe. I know that if you said it, its the truth.

Be hard pressed to find a better starting 5 than what Athens has ...

Williams
Maxfield
Chubb
Hines
Butcher

Decent bench too with very few seniors moving on after the 2017/2018 campaign.

Easy
1. JK Kearns 5'11"
2. Dylan Mecum 6'3"
3. Stone Markins 6'4"
4. Kam Riley 6'1"
5. Caleb Terry 6'11"
Has four returning starters and much more experience. This team made a lot of noise last year with it only being Terry, JK, and Kam's first year playing high level varsity basketball. They are going to be something to watch. Easy TVC champs.

Let's not forget Fed Hock. They will have 4 returning starters from last season.
Massie 6'3" sophomore
Smith 6'0" sophomore
Jarvis 6'0" sophomore
Russell 6'5" junior
And the fifth starter will probably be a toss up

Y'all have to stop with this smack talk with Fed HAHA. It's Fed Hock. It doesn't matter how many returns they have or how their new coach is. They will always be bad. No matter what. You guys still need to remember that it's Fed Hock.

Just because Fed had a few bad seasons, does not make this team bad. This team was not in high school when they were down. Actually, this team snapped a losing streak, might I add, they did it with 3 starting freshmen and a sophomore. They have talent (finally) and everyone will see a difference this season and the next couple seasons. Just wait. Do you know the accomplishments a player from Fed had last season? Let me break it down. Freshmen Massie, played in the Columbus showcase, got all district 13 honors, received all tvc honors, broke a Fed record by dropping 8 three balls in a half against Belpre. There were only 3 boys from the TVC to go to Columbus in April. Two coming from Athens and the other from Fed. By the time the sophomores are juniors and seniors, they will have alot of experience at the varsity level. They are gonna prove all the negative folks wrong and when they do, what team will get all the criticism then?

Gotta ask what tape measure u r using to get Markins 6'4"

Gotta ask what tape measure u r using to get Markins 6'4"

I saw Markins in street clothes last year and I would say he is a legit 6'4. I do not think he played much last year due to and injury ( I could be wrong )He is one of those players that with confidence can be a game changer. Tough kid . I for one think the Spartans can be a tough team so do not take them lightly. Could challenge Athens for the Ohio . They have size and speed . Shooting might be an issue but i do not think they will rely on the 3 ball. I will try and catch a couple of their games . Mostly because of their potential.

Good to know the tape measures are broke at Alexander and Fed Hock lol. Not that it really matters, Alex will get their chance to see if it’s the same ol fed hock. I believe that’s the second game of the year.

You must be joking if you think Massie is 6'3" and Russel 6'5". Rollovers.

Shooting an issue? This must have been a typo. You must not have come to many of their games last year. With Kam, JK, Kaleb, Dalton, Stone can shoot but not his main game.

By no means am I saying Fed will win the league. But you might be showing your youth if you think Fed has always been known for losing. Fact is, Fed was at one point in time, a powerhouse in most sports. It wasn't until 2010 or there about that the district really started to struggle. Hopefully there is an alumni base that can help get behind the new coach and bring this program back to a competitive nature. Sounds like there could be some puzzle pieces in place to make this happen. Truth is, if all the Hocking teams are competitive, its only good for the league.

My apology about the shooting typo . I should have not included that . They should be a very good team if they can knock down the 3s consistantly . They might even win the Ohio or at least compete . Still want to catch a couple games , mostly because of their potential.

No. No joking. Stating the facts!!! Russell grew one inch from last season and Massie grew two.

[VetteMan]

Meigs will be extremely tough this year. New coach and some new life to the program. Coach Hill coached these kids several years back before going to Eastern. The kids are excited to have him at the helm.

Was the Bartrum boy a Senior last year?

no he's a senior this year I believe

[RVRaiderFan]

I truly believe that River Valley will be greatly improved this year. I dont know if you will see it in wins/losses, but I do believe you will see a totally different product on the court with Coach Bostic and Coach Sheets in charge! Go Raiders!!

WOAH one inch?!? No way!!! He's for sure going to win the games for them this year! Wow! Nice!

Yeah you are 100% right. They will go 5-17 MAX

[Logangrad]

Fed does have some nice talent speaking from experience but I think they may be a year away. I would think the goal is to improve drastically this year and next year could be the big year. The pg spot will be the biggest question imo. Lots of solid young players to pick from but no varsity experience. Whoever it is needs to grow up fast and take care of the ball.
Best of luck to the Lancers.
