Mid State League Buckeye

[Logangrad]

Should be a good dose of basketball in the MSL-Buckeye this season. Who will reign supreme when its all said and done?

Logan Elm- Tanner Holbert will be the key scorer and the Braves should be solid and Coach Stiverson whos in his 24th season, always gets the best from his kids
Bloom- How good will the Bulldogs be with new coach Ryan Davis coming in from the Peake?
Circleville- Should be Coach Carpenter's best group to date. Lots of experience returning for the Tigers
Fairfield Union- Senior Ted Harrah was named second team Southeast District honors, Junior Caleb Schmelzer was third team and Senior Brennen Rowles was honorable mention in 2021-22. Good core back for the Falcons
Hamilton Twp- Junior Brad McCarty should be the go to for the Rangers
Teays Valley- Luke Sachs is a player to watch for TV and Sam Miller. Both Juniors
Amanda CC- Aces look to improve from 2021-22.

Fairfield will be a monster this year. Bloom, Logan elm, TV, and circleville will battle for 2nd. Heard the LE kid - Holbert - is hurt and probably won’t play until late December or January. TV supposedly has 2 hotshot freshmen coming in and may contribute. One or both are kids who were held back a year or 2 before middle school and look more like sophs or jrs physically. They might be interesting to watch and see if they live up to the hype.

... thanks openpost ! hate to hear/read about the injuries - Tanner is an outstanding player, as Coach Stiverson said in the article - they'll need to pick up the slack at the defensive end, others will need to fill more offensive roles - ALL of which in the end as the others work their way back into playing shape in Jan & Feb will be big time PLUSES for the Braves ... on the positive side - the defensive philosophy has ALWAYS been there! there is no changing of mind set with players - if you are going to play for Coach Stiverson and Coach Holbert ... YOU WILL PLAY Defense ... looking forward to seeing this edition of LE ...

Doesn’t Davis have a big freshman son?

LE looked solid vs VC from what I saw. Solid at both ends. Holbert is a big loss but the Braves will be fine.
