OVC 2022-23

[Geronimo]

He's going to be more aggressive ? He has the talent.

[Prime Time]

Talking to a buddy, Portsmouths young player who Ohio State offered a letter of intent, this should help Trojans back to the top also. Havent heard TrojanD talk about this. Good news for the Trojans to build on.

PrimeTime: I hear a lot of rumors of comings and goings during the summer......as far as what you're talking about, I haven't heard anything factual, so I'm holding off until something regarding this has more substance to it.

Who is 8th grader Hayven Carter from Portsmouth ???

Who is 8th grader Hayven Carter from Portsmouth ???

She is a female, going to be in 8th at Portsmouth and yes has been offered by OSU.

She is the granddaughter of coach Mike Hughes as many remember. She also has a cousin that will be a freshman at Portsmouth this year that will be playing D1 basketball as well.

Portsmouth girls are going to be very special in a couple years.

[Geronimo]

Sounds like it thanks.

[Jonjon]

Portsmouth girls and fairland girls will be battling for state titles. Anything less will be a failure for both.

[Geronimo]

I know fairland had a 4th grade girls team aau that won the Nationals

Chesapeake will be dangerous come February with Ater. Good coach who has some Ok pieces to do what he wants.

Ironton probably has the most talent, but not a ton of depth. Think league champ will have multiple losses, perhaps 3. Lot of parity it seems.

[Rexdog]

How can you put Fairland # 1when south point beat them 2 times last season?

[Hornetfan84]

Probably because they won the OVC crown.

[Hornetfan84]

Also I believe Fairland won the district game and it wasn’t a close game.

Curious what Gallia Academy has back this year besides a 6-8 post who can be a real force. Will they be as strong as last season, which was a pretty good year for them?

Clary, Franklin, Fellure. Pretty good cast right there. Also heard they added a guard from River Valley. They should be in consideration for conference IMO.

Ironton, Gallia, Port, SP, and Fairland all could be at the top or in the middle. Still think RH will open some eyes this year too. Will be a battle every game night. No easy conference games

[Geronimo]

Who's the guard from RV ?? GA will hold there own .

[Geronimo]

Lambert ??? If so he's going to help GA.

[Ovenmit]

How does the league shape up for next season? Who loses what and who is returning for each team next Season?
OVC Record in parenthesis **If I have any records wrong, I do apologize**

I will start with our Hustlin' Hornets

Fairland - (11-3)

South Point - (10-4)

Ironton - (8-6)

Chesapeake - (8-6)

Gallia - (7-6)

Portsmouth - (5-9)

Coal Grove - (3-11) The Hornets lose seniors Trevor Hankins 10-PPG and Perry Kingery; They return arguably the best freshmen in the OVC/Area in Owen Johnson (16-PPG) as well as JR. PG-Dryzen Mullens, Jr. 6'4" Forward-Hunter Staton, Jr. Elijah Dillon, Jr. Braxton Horn, Gavin Gipson. Jr. Landon Davis They also will be bringing up a very talented group of current 8th graders... Coal Grove will be a better team next season and will improve their OVC Record next season (3-11 OVC 2021-22)

Rock Hill - (2-11)

Schreck from Ironton will without a doubt be the best sophomore in the OVC in 22-23. He will have a late start due to football playoffs which will make him a much tough kid physically for basketball
