Pfloyd's Elite 8 of Southern/SouthEast Ohio- Preseason 13-14

[bman]

Looks like we could have a decent sized shake-up in Division II.

Final enrollment numbers are out http://ohsaa.org/members/hsenroll13.htm

If you go by the division breakdowns from this last cycle, Chillicothe would move from DII to DI, Meigs and Minford moves from DIII to DII and Fairland and Waverly move from DII to DIII. But the trend has been for that low number for DII schools to go down. It was at 214 in 2011 and 223 in 2009. Waverly (201), Fairland (202), Northwest (206) and South Point (209) are all in that ballpark range depending on where the number falls.

Let's project the number falls by nine, like the last time, to 205. That would put South Point and Northwest into DII. The Board votes on the divisional breakdowns next month, so it should be interesting, I could see D2 losing Chillicothe, Waverly and Fairland and gaining Meigs, Minford, South Point and Northwest.

Listened to the show tonight Bulldog, wish it wasn't cut short by the game but overall nice broadcast, pretty sure Pfloyd has is in the right mindset with my Warriors #1 though haha! Is it basketball season yet!? Go Blue!

sorry about getting cut short ... usually the Reds start at 7:10, and we go off air exactly 30 minutes prior to game time ... leave it up to the folks in Cleveland to screw up everyone's show by starting at 7:05 ...

Football guest, Floyd!

An Athens coach is stopping by to talk about the upcoming season ...

Probably wanna listen seeing as your two favorite subjects will be discussed ... 1. Athens and 2. Football.

I am looking for the Trojans to possibly challenge the top dogs of your rankings, pfloyd, after the developments this past week in Portsmouth. An incoming sophomore PG to free sophomore Kyre Allison from that slot will prove to be a huge plus for the Trojans. 3 years of a scary good backcourt for PHS. Add Isaiah Lisath, Sky Oliver, and Kahlil Lattimore to these two and Portsmouth will have the deepest, and quite possibly the best backcourt in the SE District.

[pfloyd]

... a NEW PG wearing PHS Blue & Red??? ... and we KNOW that those point guards NEVER travel alone they ALWAYS have a 6-6 to 6-7 Big Man in tow !!! the rich get richer again!!!! LOL ...

[pfloyd]

... double check these new faces at new schools or in some case old faces and new schools :

Marietta High School - Coach Duckworth
Piketon - Coach Lisath staying court side in Piketon
Alexander - Jim Kearns
Wheelersburg - Coach Ater
Southeastern -Jaren Cox
Circleville - Joe Goodyear
Lynchburg Clay - Matt Carson
Gallia Academy - Gary Harrison

[pfloyd]

[sebuckeye]

Huntington- Todd Kellough

[pfloyd]

... thanks sebuckeye ... only one spot to fill ...

And Westfall is officially open with Carson heading closer to his home. I have an inkling on his replacement, but will wait til the official announcement is made. It may not be a great job this year, but it will be pretty good in a year or so. Good young talent.

[pfloyd]

... anyone have an idea where Coach Evans (previous head man at Roundtown) went? ...

I did some math (that page is hard to do it on an iPhone) and I think the # will be anywhere from 200 to 204 and the D3 will be anywhere from 109 to 115.

Fun fact: new Lynchburg coach Matt Carson was the 3rd base umpire in Wheelersburg's state title game yesterday! He's a man of many talents.

[pfloyd]

[then what]

Wheelersburg and Coach Ater went 3-0 at Marshall today. Good start for the young coach!

[danicalifornia]

Unioto goes 5-1 at Waverly, losing only to Leesburg in sudden death in the finals. Leesburg goes 6-0 and was very impressive. Unioto was without 4 rotation players and was dominant in their wins, so I'm very happy with today's results, I'm sure Coach Hoops would have loved to have gotten the 6th W.
