No. 6 Athens (17-7) vs No. 7 Logan Elm (17-7)

[93Bulldog]

De’von sharp. He did about everything for Athens. Jimmy Burrow always said they had a full ride offer for him but he kept getting in trouble

Devon was probably one of our biggest athletes because we sucked for so long(90’s-00’s) before him and were good after him.

Devon was ineligible after Christmas that year. he missed most of the season.

[Raider6309]

Yes. He forgot to show up to school after the football season

Been fun to watch those two in the second half of the season

Will Butcher be back for this one?

Nope

Nope

Man, he must really be injured to not make it back yet. Maybe if they win he'll make it back for the next round.

[bman]

We didn't have four D1 players in that 2012 upset, bman.

Jussssss sayin

lol

I was referring to the football playoff game. But, if you want to look at that game, I believe Burrow could have went D1 in basketball, as well, so that's one D1 kid.

[bman]

If Logan Elm can continue to play like it has the last two games, I like Logan Elm in this one. Have to wonder a little bit about the shooting background and playing at the Convo for the first time with this group, however.

He’s suspended until the regional finals so his season is over unless Markin’s averages 30 at the Convo

I’m pretty sure Creighton and Greg McDermott were looking at Burrow after his freshman season

He is serving an 11 game suspension. The first game he would be eligible would be the first game of regionals. The Logan Elm game will be game #10.

[svc_guy]

LE wins this I believe. I think Athens best Chance is mixing their zone and hoping LE is not hitting. LE 61-49.

[ShoeHorn]

I must've missed something a couple weeks ago....what happened to the Butcher kid? Sorry in advance of it's been talked about and I just didn't see it. Also I don't remember Butcher causing LE serious issues last year at Logan when Athens beat LE.

He was/is a much improved player this year. Dropped weight, stayed in the paint more. He was scoring 20 pts, grabbing 10 boards a game.

You guys have Butcher when Marietta beat you?

Butcher had 26 points and 12 boards vs Marietta in our 2 point regular season loss and obviously suspended and DNP in our 26 point tournament win over Marietta.

[vcgrad]

Don't see Athens going very far---Logan Elm is coached so well...……---even though Athens has made it this far--been real lucky not to play any big boys!!!!

[Raider6309]

VCgrad’s Athens predictions

so true--like mama always said---be careful for what you wish for!!!!

Athens 61
New Lexington 50

Marietta by 2--wont matter ---neither would beat Sheridan----Don't see Marietta joining TVC--might get Warren. Yes a lot of parity in TVC this year cause its was not a strong year for TVC.

Athens 62
Marietta 36

Vc by 3-----and that will make us a player n the TVC Ohio Championship.

Athens 72
Vinton County 63

Alex should not lose way to much fire power for Athens.

Athens 61
Alexander 57

Warren is coached to well to let Butcher get 30 and they will slow the game down and make Athens play defense--that's not good for Athens--Warren by 10 to 12 pts.

Athens 77
Warren 65

[93Bulldog]

hahahaha good stuff, Raider

Will be a good one. Will go down to final 2 minutes. Good luck to both teams

[FANOSPORTS]

Braves by many.

I just want to say that 8 days in between games is crazy! Basketball is not meant to play a week+ apart!

I agree, unless your team has some kids that are injured, then you probably would like to have 2 weeks between games. I would think 4-5 days would be plenty, of course we are looking at it from a fans perspective also.
