[pfloyd]

93bulldog !!! I like the TVC website look this year ! thanks for all of the work you do in keeping ALL of the napkin stats , records up-to-date nightly !!!

[danicalifornia]

A BIG TIME scrimmage tomorrow Monday 11/14 on the river with my #1 Fairland Dragons hosting #2 Unioto Shermans !!! wow !!! hopefully we will get a rundown of this one from daniC ...

... anyone have a start time for this one Monday evening ???

That scrimmage has actually been either cancelled or pushed back due to Unioto's playoff appearance. Unioto's first scrimmage will be later this week with John Glenn and Columbus Briggs.

Looking forward to catching up at our Foundation Game with VC on the 22nd.

Floyd, site is just getting transformed. Will look even better over the next week. Gotta get all those girls schedules typed up first.

[93Bulldog]

And yes, mobile app will be updated soon too. All scores & schedules at your finger tips!

[bbn77]

Bulldog sounds like you do some nice work. I'm an OVC homer but I'm jealous of all the TVC folks that get all of this information because of your work. Hopefully someone can start something like this for the OVC as well

[LetsGoPSU]

would love to see something put together for the OVC, I feel like this conference is going to improve with the recent changes,football season was a lot of fun

[trojandave]

Very excited to have Gabe Gambill (JR) back at Portsmouth to go along with Collin Boehm(SOPH)........both kids at 6-5, 250lb. should give the Trojans much needed post presence which can only improve the team on both ends of the court. Senior forward Kendal Reynolds can now play a more true wing position, which should give him more open looks. Last year, Kendal and Kyre Allison had to serve as our "post" players, even though neither fit that role. Portsmouth should also be much more competitive on the boards, which was a major concern coming into the season.

GO TROJANS!!!

Waterford will scrimmage at harvest prep this Friday and Saturday with a few other teams as well

[93Bulldog]

LOL bbjunky81 ... sure wish I was retired and didn't need to rise and shine at 4:45am I would love to be there ... I didn't do a rundown on Washington CH BUT CH will be a quality team this season ... and South Webster has a lot of "potential" with their highest starting spot in the rankings in many years ... make sure you fill us in on this scrimmage !!!

pfloyd,

Unfortunately I wasn't able to make the scrimmage, it was too far away and I didn't get off work in time.

I will ask around the town and see if any SW fans went but since it's nearly 2 hours away I doubt they did.

Hopefully there is a Lynchburg fan or WCH fan on here that can update us on how the scrimmage went!

[Ty Webb]

VC hosted Logan Elm tonight. Obviously two very solid programs in the SE District that might meet again come tourney time. Scoring for the six quarters played as follows:
25 to 13 VC, 22 to 21VC, 20 to 11VC, 22 to 11VC, 10 to 10, and 28 to 18VC.

LE seemed unexperienced and lacked much of a scoring punch, nonetheless played their typical hard-nosed Stiverson defense and were fundamentally solid. They’ll get better as the season progresses.

Coach Combs and the Vikings have a very solid starting guard trio in Tristan Bartoe, Derick Jones, and Naylan Yates. Even though it’s early, these three haven’t seemed to miss a beat in the off season. VC’s unknown right now will hinge on post play. Bo McIntire is done and won’t be back for his senior year following a 2nd ACL surgery in the past nine months. 6’8” Junior Bryce Damron is a work in progress but will bear the load for the Vikes down low.

[pfloyd]

Ty Webb ... got some feedback on the scrimmage from Nathan L. last night ... sounded like the Vikes have a LOT of perimeter scoring ... throw in Bartoe being able to get the rim anytime he wants ... as you pointed out "in the paint" at both ends will be the question mark ... I see the VC coaches taking what B. Damron brings to the inside - what his BEST skill set is at both ends and building on that - first making sure he can do "the basics" you want from a 6-8 post player 1) clog the middle 2) alter shots in the paint by his presence alone (he doesn't have to block a bunch of shots imo he's not built for getting much elevation) 3) when opposing teams are planning to attack on the offensive end make sure his presence changes where the opposing players feel comfortable taking those on the block, 10ft & in shots around the rim 4) rebound/keep bigs off the board blocking out/ getting wide in the middle - keep opposing bigs off the boards allowing the quickness of Jones, Yates, Bartoe to get to the ball attacking the boards ... imo you can't ASK BD to do what he is able to do (at least not yet) ... Coach Combs & his staff are some of the best around - they'll put folks where they need to be on the floor, doing what they need to be doing for TEAM ... looking forward to seeing the Foundation game at Unioto this coming Tuesday evening !!! it should be a super matchup even if it's for a few quarters before lineups get mixed and matched ...
