Top Jr. High Boys Basketball Players in Southern Ohio

[Lightle04]

my son said that remy told him at rio grande camp he was transfering to piketon.dont know if he heard right but if he did what a team!!!

[CoachClaytor]

well u have....
Piketon w/the 5 redshirt 8th graders plus isaac brabson & Ryan (sid) accardo.
Eastern(pike) w/the lands boy who is very dominant w/a dominant big guy in tavares pickett.
Waverly w/the addition of evory & white to go along w/ferguson,williams & bolin-hitchens.
Western(pike)probably the weakest of the teams but a good guard but a little under sized who makes up for it w/great quickness, then a good big man in brady lambert.
& thts just the 8th grade.

Very good poinst Tiger4. Saying that Western is the weakest team in the county means that the county has some good talent in the 8th grade this year, because I would consider us (Western) to be very good, and we are looking forward to having a great season. The boys are working hard and looking to do some good things this year.

thanks coach claytor.
but lightle04 remy?
who is this kid?

[Lightle04]

try to remember the 6th grade tournament at the ymca the vinton co. team that got beat in the finals by peebles. he was the kid with red hair on that team the big one probably 5'7 or 5'8 at the time hes the one that when he blocked a shoot he woud yell and scream!! hes a real good player but very emotional. well he was back then but that was 2 years ago hes probably settled down some now that hes older.

[Bandwagoner]

if he does i swear to god.
those boys should not be able to play.
someone needs to investigate tht.
i mean tht in some way shape or form has to be illeagle!!

[Lightle04]

nope its leagel hey it just means the rest of the countys kids in that grade better put down the playstations , wii's,psp's and pick up a basketball and start working instead of goffing off and thinking they can step on the floor and just compeat with those boys. A wise old cosch named carl wolfe told me once hey LIGHTLE when your setting around thinking of girls or games or what ever you kids do the guy your getting ready to play against is playing pand prepareing to beat you!

[Bandwagoner]

i agree but i dont see y they do this?
it doesnt give an edge when u get up to varsity ball.
so y would they do tht?

[Lightle04]

To load a class for hoped future success If you had the oppertunity for your grade to be not good but maybe great wouldn't you do it?

[Bandwagoner]

not like tht.
thts cheap,unlike these people i have morals & tht applies to sports also.
so obviously these people need to think of the kids they r screwing over!!

[Lightle04]

Tiger4 slow down you talking about parents us parents look at things threw different colored glasses its our job to do what we think is best for our own kids.i mean you said yourself that when the other kids getolder it evens out.if the other kids don't get the floor time they feel they should then there parents will make adjustments as well to benefit there kids.some times im not saying this is one of them but sometimes theres not enough balls,floor time,or headlines forthat much tallent on one team and the wheels fall off and they never reach there full potential as a team.and some times it just clicks and they mesh like clock work.

[Bandwagoner]

lightle 04 i understand people of different ages have different views.
but in my oppinion a team tht lost like 2 games doesnt need a bunch of new talent!!

[Lightle04]

u r right but jr high is not the level of ball there thinking of its high school that counts theres not any kids in ohio getting scholarships in jr high high school is what there focus is on.getting the kids in tonr with each other now in jr high to make a run in high school.

[hornet533]

Steele,Bare,Dutey from Coal Grove are great players..... all also we have some talented 7th graders like conor markins, and brandon adkins. there also going to be good.....

[west siders]

i would have to say that thaT jb travis kid From Portsmouth west 8th is far better than mcbee!

[Pringles105]

Chad Lands and Tavaris Pikett Eastern Pike are very good but you cant forget about the rest of the team they have a lot of talent

[Buckeyefan106]

Patrick Bookman from nelsonville york!! Isn't bad!

[buckwheat]

It looks like the coach gave ole Hayden a call. That's the kind of stuff that destroys a team. I'm glad he's not on our TEAM.
