With Jr. High football coming to an end in a few weeks, how does everyones basketball programs look to do this season? best, worst, rebuilding, loaded? Can't wait to see some of these kids play. Best of luck this coming B-Ball season.

Are 8th grade team is looking good so far. Still have a long way to go.

Our 8th grade girls will be fun to watch but both boys teams and the 7th grade girls will have alot of growing pains...

Minfords 8th grade will be tough, and who is there for the girls ironmen? Haleigh Haas played for the magic, a good defender and all out hustler..but who else? We scrimmaged them last year, and our 8th grade beat them...Minford 8th girls beat about everyone pretty good...Good luck to all the teams,

The 8 th grade jackson girls were undefeated last season and won the Southestern shoot out along with playing at the Shawnee camp and won all eight games. This team has 5 girls that play AAU ball and 4 of them were on the teams that finished 2 nd and 3 rd in the state. :

Jackson has a very good 8th grade girls program. Peebles and Minford do as well. Has everyone started open gyms yet? How are the teams looking this year? How are the 7th graders looking?

Jackson girls are very talented, Must have been a different state tournament than i seen though, Dayton Lady Hoopstars were first place, West Virginia Thunder (Lambert) second place, West Virginia Thunder (Lewis) third place. Might have been division II.

i think it was d2. nonthe less great job! i think Jackson also beat Pebbles in the southestern shoot out. Peebles has a very good team also.

Keep your eyes on Eastern Reedsville 8th grade girls. They have 5 girls that played AAU ball this summer and went undefeated last year. They are also going for an undefeated volleyball season tonight at Trimble.

I have been hearing that Clay boys will be down this year. No numbers for either 7th or 8th grades. I hope I'm wrong, but I really liked watching them last year and hate to see things go bad.

Clay 8th should be very competitive this year in there division I seen them play last year in the county tournament against Minford as 7th graders and they played a great first half.

Yeah I heard the samething...either numbers are down.

Jackson 7th and 8th Grade girls will scrimmage the Minford Falcons in November.

The Peebles 8th grade girls should be strong this year.

Most people are forgetting about Notre Dame Junior High 8th grade team went undefeated as 7th graders and they added a kid.

South Point's 7th and 8th grade boys will both very good this year. I am predicting they both will be in the top 2 of the OVC.

Most girls teams should already be selected or should be in the next day or so......who are the teams to look out for......some should have some good 7th graders playing up and helping out some of the 8th grade teams.

Portsmouth's 8th grade should be good.......while the 7th grade should be very good.........the 8th grade team will be led by Alex Grashel, Jacob Albrecht, Kahlil Lattimore, Johnie Charles, Kylee Jenkins, Cody Stapleton, and Brandon Wedebrook. The 7th grade team's most notable players will be Shautavian(Tay Tay) Martin, Sky Oliver, Alex Dickerson, Dee Smith, Hunter Gibson, LA Kearns, and Grant Underwood.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the 7th grade team post an undefeated season just like they did in football...........they are an exceptional group of athletes. The 8th grade team should have a very good record also.

Didn't the Grashel kids play on the Portsmouth 8th grade team last year?

Yes, he did.........

Jackson 8th grade is a good team, they have a great shooter in Ridout, she is still there correct? and Poe in the middle, they will definitely be a good scrimmage for Minford, better not play zone against Ridout, she will light em up about 2 ft behind the 3 pt line..and as far as winning the state, does it really matter what division? Either way you are playing some good talent..between 7th and 8th grade year you start having alot of improvement from other players and lack of improvement from some, so it will be an different look for most 8th grade teams , you can't always base it on last years 7th grade, but good luck Lady Falcons and to Gary Gambill and the boys..

Coach Gambill and Pertuset will have both there grades competing for the county/conference..... IMO

the jackson 8 th grade girls are very good. if i remember correctly they also have several other good players. we played against some of them in aau. there is a couple of guards i think Hoover and Willis. both are good ball handlers and excillent shooters from any where on the court.

Logan 7th grade girls will be strong. 7 of the girls have 23 seasons of AAU ball between them. Not bad for alot of 12 and 13 year olds. Thanks Tuck.

The Portsmouth 8th grade upgraded its roster with the addition of Dakota Smith, who transferred from Notre Dame........Smith is projected to be a starter for the Trojans. With the additions of Cody Stapleton from Sciotoville and Smith, the 8th grade boys should have a really good year.

When, where and time?
