PFloyd,

Easten Pike is 8-4 and has won 6 in a row. They have a big test this Tuesday at Northwest.

[pfloyd]

... thanks Eaglesnest - I'll make the correction ... seems that it gets harder and harder to find ALL of the scores/game results out there for ALL of the teams ...

[Ironman92]

I think Whiteoak is 4-9 but have played Adena, Peebles, Manchester and others very close.

I think Manchester is 9-5 with losses to Ironton, Rose Hill, North Adams....all on the road. Should be the #1 seed at Valley.

[pfloyd]

Eaglesnest ... did Eastern Pike beat Portsmouth Clay in their make-up game? that might be my 7-4 record instead of 8-4 ...

I know they beat Clay Friday night. I did't attend so I don't know the score. It was posted here 70-50 or something like that

[2Legit2Quit]

[biggdowgg]

pretty good list.

I would move Portsmouth completely off the list, untill they prove, they can play, like I know they are capable

[biggdowgg]

I would also like to congratulate, Jeff Lisaths redstreaks, I know he was talking highly last year about the talent he had coming up, and from what I hear, he stil has some talent on its way, good to see he is doing a great job with it.

[vikefan]

Floyd..ignore your critics...believe me, your fans far outnumber the critics. I, for one, enjoyed your commentary.

[dawescpa]

vike

As did I.

[rivercat]

Pfloyd, here's another vote for ignoring your critics. The vast majority of posters on this site look forward to your rankings and comments every week and you proven to be one of the classiest posters on this site. Keep doing what you do !

[Ironman92]

pfloyd...another team to keep an eye on as they are pretty solid is Leesburg Fairfield. I'm not sure of their record (something around 8-4) have lost 2 very tight games with Manchester, but have beaten D2 Washington CH and Miami Trace.

Your list does look good and there aren't enough critics to even count. Just becuase they post on here about their team does not make them a critic. These are just good threads to get facts for most teams in the district.

Anyways....people shouldn't criticize the elderly. lol

[hawkeyepierce]

Do what you do and all others be damned.

[bman]

Keep up the good work pfloyd.

[Guru]

I told you early in the season Pfloyd, that you needed to watch for the Runnin' Indians out of Lucasville!

[Ironman92]

^^^^^and you were definately dead on....but unfortunately about 50 of the 70 teams in the district have people saying how good they are going to be and many aren't too realistic....or with clue.

Good call.

Who has Valley lost to? I know they have big wins vs Minford and Oak Hill.

[Futurebkstar]

Pfloyd....South Gallia is 6-8!!!! Ironton St. Joe is also 6-8!!! Thanks for adding us...

[bucking red]

You are such a homer putting the purple ahead of my dragons Besides that an excellent list my friend. The dragons let one slip away the other night if we would have taken care of business we could've cracked the top 8 by seasons end. Ironman Valley lost to South Point early in the season.
