It happens..on one of pfloyd's first years of lists Valley at 17-3 (no losses to Ohio teams) was beaten in the sectional final by #8 seed Westfall.

Lynchburg deserved a top 10 spot......now though, not so much.

I know, I just like to pick on Ployd every now and again. He does a good job all year and alot of people look forward to his poll each week.

I think he's going through bulldog withdraw right now. He seems to miss his old buddy!

Maybe they could schedule a Convo reunion.

... 93bulldog found love ... must have sold his 'puter ... there was a sighting on the huddle last year BUT no more since ... 93dog doesn't even remember where the Convo is !!! lol ...

... Peebles over Lynchburg Clay ? had to read that score twice when I saw it LOL ... "stuff" happens in the "Survive and Advance" season ... Peebles is one of those teams that seems understand what the 2nd season is all about - over the years they are ALWAYS a tough out no matter what the regular season showed us ...

pfloyd ~ Great job this roundball season, as usual... The weekly "Elite Eight" is a highlight of the basketball season for me... I don't comment much, but it's always enjoyable to read.

I did state that Chesapeake would surprise a lot of people this year, and they did.. They just lacked size, but overall did well.

I think South Gallia deserve to be on this list. They have won 7 of 9. With those 2 losses coming against Westfall and Rock Hill. They won their 1st tourney game last night. Pretty good for a 10th seed.

Unioto 71
Waverly 60

Curtis Baker led Unioto with 38 points, while Alex Kimsey and Ben Bower were both around double figures as well. Shane Maier stepped up in the 3rd quarter when the rest of the bigs were in foul trouble and helped keep Unioto in the lead.
Waverly was led by Trevor Walls and Harrison Martin, I think both had between 17-20. Walls got his 1,000 point late in the game, then lost his temper at the end.

Unioto led by 8 at the half, Baker had 21 in the 1st, then to start the 2nd half, Waverly took it right at Unioto and got to the line, time after time. With the fouls standing at 7-0 in favor of Waverly, a no call under the basket and a foul on the sideline led to a technical and it was huge, IMO. Unioto took the lead early and Waverly tied it at 16 and Unioto never trailed or was tied again, but it got very close late in the game.

EasternDspy ... who does Fort Frye play in the post season? where do they play?

pfloyd · Post by **pfloyd** » Fri Feb 15, 2008 4:09 pm

... Fort Frye is participating in the East District Sectional Play ... Zanesville earns a bye due to being in the SEOAL during the regular season ... all the others will be playing sectional/district action in the SouthEast District ...
