Chillicothe 79-51 over Portsmouth
Humpty Hitchens had 17 points for Chillicothe and also added five assists. Stuart Beverly followed with 15 points, Sugar Ray Chambers had 12 points and eight rebounds, and Seth Dawes chipped in 11 points.
Andrew Bendolph had 14 points for Portsmouth. Nate Cadogan collected a double-double of 13 points and 11 rebounds.
Chillicothe is the best team I've seen this year. Humpty is impressive, Sugar Ray is good in the post and then you throw in some of the other kids. Impressive team. I thought they were a bit sloppy trying to push the ball at times but they had a big lead.
Pfloyd's Elite 8 of Southern/SouthEast Ohio ... Dec. 23rd
I've watched both teams play and I'd give the edge to Chillicothe. I think it would be a good game, but I believe Chillicothe has some people who can play against Mullens - Chambers and Dawes - and hold him to a reasonable number. I also think Chillicothe is the deeper team at the moment. Canal has some other players who I feel can step up and be more of a force to balance things out better. But as I said, I'd give Chillicothe an edge right now.

only thing that worries me about chilli vs newark is chilli being tired. the way they get after it on defense , playing AT marietta the night before. getting home around 1-2am and having to play again at 3pm....hopefully they will jump out to another huge lead and sit their starter very early. i HATE that trip to marietta

bronc21-Chilli wouldnt face Canal until the state semi's as no teams from columbus are coming to the athens regional this year. the brackets have be re-aligned
but just for fun i would also give the edge to Chilli. we can match up (although still falling short of matching evenly) with Mullens better than most teams and we are probably stronger at their 2nd best position at PG. but we far outclass them in our other 3 starting positions and depth off the bench. I had been preaching that Canal would lose to a quality team such as Nerk b/c of their lack of a 3rd, 4th scorer. that proved true against Nerk as we saw.
