Pfloyd's Elite 8 of Southern/SouthEast Ohio Week #9

[bbn77]

Hey pfloyd in your years of doing these rankings has Chesapeake ever been on the end table? I don't know if they'll get there but they sure are trending in that direction

... bbn77 - where the 'Peake is this year is ALL new air for the Panthers ... Nope Chesapeake has never sniffed the End Table in the rankings ... CHS has had a good cycle of athletes for many many years at all levels - when one senior group graduates there has always been a good mix of underclassmen to fill the void ...

Thanks for the response. The middle school program is strong again and this freshmen group is getting early experience and has a lot of potential. Excited for the next few years. All great programs have a stretch where the talent isn't there but the growing pains will be worth it

How can Wheelersburg be only 8-4, they have to played more games then that

How can Wheelersburg be only 8-4, they have to played more games then that

... I'm more than willing to have someone volunteer to keep track of ALL 71 teams records Hawks1112 ..." How can they be at 8-4 ?" - I get that I miss scores on games - especially those from on the river, or West of Rt 23 ... the communication equipment I have here in the Hocking Hills is antiquated at best ... besides that I'm just old and my day job gets in the way SOMETIMES ... if 8-4 was what I had on this week Elite 8 in Week #9 then the record for the Burg had to be wrong in prior weeks as well - but I heard nothing but crickets ... without assistance from those that follow the forum or the Elite 8 thread it's "darn" near impossible to keep the records straight from week to week ... now we have the makeup games coming into play from earlier in January - for example we had Zane Trace playing Circleville LAST NIGHT on a Wednesday night ... if I wasn't from Roundtown or ZT (which I am not) I WOULDN'T know that they played last night ... the usual haunts for scores don't have it ie. WKKJ which ALWAYS has scores or the SVCsportszone site doesn't have the score ... IF you have scores - post them ... if the records are incorrect - post the correct record and/or score(s) ...

Ideally those of us here on the Basketball Forum would have a person or group of persons from each league who posts the scores EVERY night teams from that league play whether they play league games or nonleague games (ie. 93bulldog - posts the results of every game league or nonleague in the TVC which one of the largest leagues in the Southeast district ... Stephen Forsha the Sports Editor of the Highland County Press does a great job of getting the SHAC scores posted ... the svcsportszone.com site usually has the scores up within a day ... other than that ???? it's hard to find scores the night of ... although I need to give props to WKKJ and WBEX radio stations for posting MANY local scores out for the SVC & SOC then a mix of SCOL/SEOAL/MSL just not the full menu of any of them ... it is what it is - I do the best I can with what is out there ... I miss some of them for sure ...

People that won't even try to do what you do and they complain about not be perfect.

What can a person do? You travel all over Southeastern Ohio, get in touch with all sorts of fans and coaches, collect scores from around six or seven conferences, work for a living. For someone that puts in 8 or more hours going to work and returning, getting a good nights sleep, spending time with the wife you do a Dang good job for us here.

I guess I'm lucky, I'm retired now and have alot more time on my hands,but I also have a beef farm to take care of.i know it's hard to try kept scores of every team , I kept all the scores for the eastern district teams and it can be real pain in the you know what, finding scores,I think I do around 50 teams in our district.i have about 5or 6 different subscription to online newspapers during basketball season,so I know how you feel. But thanks for all teams records and there up dates

[Hawks1112]

I m sorry I didn't mean to complain aboutwhat you do with all teams you cover down your way,I think you do a great job,of posting the teams and there records,I wish we had some kind website for the eastern district ,but I use your website to post the eastern district teams records. there are some good basketball sites out there,in Northwest Ohio there's davel 1.com, in West Virginia there's there high school site,wvsaa.org has all the teams and there scores.thats a few I know of. Thanks again for all you for high school basketball

5 vs 6 tonight at Miami Trace (14-3). Miami Trace has had 2 absolute battles this week, winning both at home by a combined 6 points.

Tough week for Chillicothe, but they are still playing good basketball and will be a top 3 (maybe 2) seed at Southeastern.

The Logan Sectional keeps getting tougher and tougher.

Paint Valley and Peebles could be a fun game tonight as well.

Indians and the Bearcats. They have had some battles the last few years. Should be fun.

Miami Trace 68
Unioto 61

[CavalierAlum05]

Headed west on 35 tonight to catch Unioto vs MT. As expected it was a good game. MT will be the #1 seed in the sectional after tonight and probably a toss up at 2/3 IMO. MT is GOOD. They attack attack attack. #20 can straight up find the bottom of the net. Their guard play is as good as youll see around here and they rebound like bigs. Unioto was up by 15 or so in the first due to Swackhammer hitting 3/4 tripples. MT slowly chipped away and took a 2pt lead into the 4th and built it to around 10-12 and didnt look back.

[Hoopie74]

Peebles 70- Paint Valley 64 in a knockdown dragout.

Portsmouth beats a really good Wheelersbug team 75 to 73 in overtime,they have won three games this week another good team in south point at tgheir place also in over time tuesday and beat chesapeake last night at home,this team has was said to be domed after the loss of Kyre Allison and all they have done is win,even though we dont have a player like kyre this year we have 4 guys thats can put uo 20 an any given night and the biggest thing this team does is play some defense one of the most solid defensive teams i
i think weve had in a while

[Chieftain2009]

Pfloyd looking smart keeping Logan right where he had them before, won all 3 of their games this week.

[dontreply]

Pfloyd looking smart keeping Logan right where he had them before, won all 3 of their games this week.

Is that serious or sarcastic?

[LetsGoPSU]

Trojans are winning, Coach Collins has them playing great defense and with a matchup hosting Fairland, hope we can keep it going...Go Trojans

Athens top 8 argument ...

Athens beat Jackson 75-36 ... Vinton beats Jackson 56-53
Athens beat Alexander 39-26 ... Vinton loses to Alexander 73-71
Athens beat Meigs 75-63 ... Vinton beat Meigs 60-59
Athens beat Watterson 74-49 ... Fairfield Union beat Watterson 43-38
Watterson beat Worthington Christian 49-44, who beat Waterford 67-48, btw.
Athens took No. 2 Fairland to overtime.

* negative - they have some bad losses on their resume. New Lex being the big one. But, they were without Maxfield, Saltzmen and Ball in that game. First VC match-up, they just kicked Athens' butt, no denying that. 2nd match-up, Athens first game w/o Nick Lutz on the team. Some are saying this will end up being an 'addition by subtraction' situation' - and so far, it looks that way.

Athens is (3-0) since changes were made to the defense. They are now going zone and putting Griff on the block. Last night he responded with 11 pts, 12 rebounds and 15 assists. Young guys are growing up, team chemistry is better, they seem a lot more balanced, had 4 players in double figures last night and darn near had five (Chubb 9 pts).

Come on Be Real, Athens belongs in #8 in NO WAY

They beat
#18 Meigs
#28 Jackson
#35 Alexander

Just cause our teams played Vinton County Strong and the #34 Alexander beat Vinton County means nothing!!!
VINTON COUNTY WIPED THE FLOOR WITH YOU....NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE!!!

Oh and Fairland and Warren beat you as well, showing you all don't belong in Top 8!!!

Last 3 games that you changed defense, yes you may be 3-0

But against
10-8 Meigs.
5-13 Wellston
6-10 Bishop Watterson

How did VC beat Jackson at VC?

Who is Athens knocking from the elite 8?

Fairland...nope
Vinton County...lol nope
Fairfield Union...nope
Warren...nope
Miami Trace...nope
Oak Hill...nope
Unioto...nope

Athens over all of (Waterford, Sheridan, Chillicothe, Logan, Clay etc)

The talent is there and they may very well be playing like one of the top 8 teams...but season resume isn't quite top 8 worthy
