I knew my Indians were going to be hit hard by graduation, but I had no idea they were going to be kicked out of the SE District. Tough one.

[Pirate Baller]

U got Wheelersburg bout 25 spots too low. SOC II runs through burg this year with Holden gonna be best player in SE Ohio.

[Moses Guthrie]

Being a Portsmiuth fan and having seen South Point on more than one occasion, I feel it is safe to say they will rise in the standings. SP returns a very nice point guard.

[smurray]

I Couldn't figure that one out either Crab's Brother. I had to look through the list several times to make sure I didn't miss em.

[Chieftain Fan]

Great to see some rankings and now some discussions. Alot goes into a team moving up and down durring the season. Preseason rankings by Pfloyd i'm sure goes on a few things that are observed from last season . The tell tale sign will be how players and teams mature over the summer ,coaching , transfers and schedule. All the fun starts after football season for BB FANS . GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

LMAO !!! I'm still laughing about this one ... my apologies to the Lucasville Valley faithful LOL ... I will bring them back from their banishment from the SE District LOL ...

You're telling me the 'burg - minus one from last season - should be at #9 ???????? ... I had them originally at number 18 but when they lost Lotsheich (6-6) I dropped them down the rankings ...

I give them returning experience in :

6-5 ... Tanner Holden (10)
6-0 ... Tanner Bivers (sp) (12)
6-3 ... Caden Coleman (12)

Role players :

Daylor Lewis (12)
Clayton Meadows (12)

... I've read that some fb athletes are going to hit the hardwood which is always good thing when you can put athletes out there ... looking forward to seeing the Pirates this coming season - but #9 ? in the preseason - nope ...

[pfloyd]

The rankings are for discussion purposes - especially the preseason rankings - I NEED SOME PLACE TO START ... I look at returning players from the previous season as a BIG indicator of where I start the teams in the preseason ... the biggest jumps UP and DOWN the rankings happen in the first 2-3 weeks - I will have seen many teams by then, many of the hoops fans will have put their 2 cents in on what THEY have seen in the first 2-3 weeks ... so I'm saying that once your get past the top 25-30 teams in the PRESEASON rankings it goes a lot by where teams finished the previous season ... the SOC should be happy this season as those smaller schools are ranked in the top 20 initially for the first time that I can remember with a legitimate shot at getting into the top 8 which is almost unheard of for the D4 teams ...

It's going to be fun to watch this year !!!

... let the beatings continue !!!!

First time I'd ever seen pfloyd bring out the death penalty for someone below the Lancaster-Dixon line.

[bman]

Like the rankings, for the most part. I'd switch Athens and Waterford.

[Raider6309]

I'm happy Athens is above Logan

[Chieftain2009]

The Chiefs have looked fantastic this summer!

[trojandave]

Pfloyd: #20 is just about right for the Trojans; right now I feel like we might have to fight to get over .500; depth is a serious concern with the 2016 edition of PHS basketball. The starting 5 is good (still lacking size), but quality minutes off the bench could be hard to find for Coach Collins. In this his 8th year with an overall record of 122-48, Coach Collins is faced with his thinnest bench since he took the reigns in 2009-2010. Senior Kendall Reynolds, barring injury, will join the prestigious 1,000 point club early in the campaign. He stands right now with 917 points.

Projected starting 5 for the 2016 Portsmouth Trojans:

Kendall Reynolds 6-3 senior
Mike Malone 5-10 senior
Reese Johnson 6-1 junior
Daniel Jordan 6-2 junior
DJ Eley 5-8 junior

Portsmouth opens the season with the Shawnee State Classic (at PHS) with the Waterford Wildcats. The OVC should be Fairland's all the way, but Ironton and South Point could be very pesky for the Dragons. I look for the Trojans to still be a factor in that we will probably be good enough to pull an upset here or there but I don't look for us to challenge for the league title. I sure hope I'm wrong on that point but just trying to be realistic at the same time.

Always looking forward to hoops season!!! GO TROJANS!!!

Pfloyd glad to see my Eastern Pike Eagles and SW up there representing the D4 schools both return a lot of talent. Eagles return all their scoring with Ethan Leist and Clay Martin both looking to have big years. Martin keeps getting bigger and stronger and Leist looks really good coming off shoulder surgery in the off season. Looking forward to a couple Sophmores in Evan Leist and Mike Miller to have some big impact for the eagles this year. Junior Noah Gray has looked good this summer and will be a good role player and make the bench deeper with Tyler Hale , Gabe Gambill, Dalton Tomilson to rotate down in the post. Zimmerman for SW has looked good every time I have seen him this summer and I look for him to lead the area in scoring this year. Can't wait for basketball season GO EAGLES.

[Raider6309]

I'm sure we will have our yearly D2 Logan sectional thread. Vinton, Warren, Fairfield union, and Athens.

Unioto, Miami Trace, and Chillicothe on the other side

Desales and Steubenville for regionals

[danicalifornia]

Saw Desales this summer, they played the hardest HC defense I've ever seen in the summer, which I'm guessing should translate pretty well for the Stallions. That's even leaving out Caden Sanchez too.

Will be another great year in D2. Waverly should be another quality team at the SE Sectional

How much does Unioto bring back? Always seems like you guys have a lot of size
