... great stuff right there 93dog ! ... heck I asked for the names of the teams and you came as close as you can get with the Sectional match ups in each division and when they square off at the Convo - you don't have to dangle any bait in front of me to get me psyched - I'm there LOL ...

[93Bulldog]

tournament talk

I was really hoping the Division III Athens sectional would produce a winner this year at the Convo ... but once again, that Jackson sectional is stacked ... 1. Ironton, 7. Minford, 8. Oak Hill, 9. Valley ... and you still have Chesapeake and Coal Grove lurking as well ... the No. 1 seed from Athens (which plays Jackson #4) isn't really that good of place to be ... if I were a coach in the DIII Athens sectional - I would rather be the No. 2 seed - and take my chances with the No. 3 from Waverly in the late game on Saturday night.

Hey Floyd Eastern Beaver with a big road win At Notre Dame tonight !!

[pfloyd]

Athens 52
Vinton County 44 final

... I couldn't stay away from THE game in the TVC tonight - Athens vs Vinton County ... 2 of the the heavy weights in the Tri Valley Conference PLAYED like 2 teams feeling each other out for future reference ... neither AHS or VC lit up the scoreboard BUT one point WAS made tonight "size DOES matter" - Athens overall size/length at virtually all positions was the difference tonight ... the Athens size/length advantage is one that won't go away before the rematch in McArthur, if anything the size difference could get wider as Ryan Leuhrman (6-3) remained sidelined by injury for tonights contest ...

... the first quarter opened on a positive for Coach Combs' Vikings as senior Jordan Kidd hit for VC's first 8 points with a midrange jumper followed by back to back three's ... Vinton Co. 8 Athens 2 early BUT 3 minutes does not a game make - Athens was patient, Athens hit on a couple treys of their own (Saltzman/Summers) more importantly Athens showed it's size advantage on the boards getting 2 put back buckets in the quarter ... Athens never trailed once it took the lead ... for Vinton County Jordan Kidd after hitting VC's first 8 points was held to 1 fg the rest of the game ... Athens 13 Vinton County 10 after one quarter ... quarter two was a battle of attrition as Athens hit for 9 points - getting 3 fgs in the paint while holding VC to 2 fgs/5 points ... Athens 22 Vinton County 15 at intermission ... the Vikings claimed their only victory of the evening as they outscored the Bulldogs 15-13 in the third ... sparked by senior Tyler Walton's 2 reverse layups and the midrange shooting of LB Remy VC pulled within 4 points (22-26) forcing an AHS timeout with 4:25 left in the quarter ... Athens regrouped, coming out of the timeout riding their size advantage in the form of Jared Elmore - Elmore scored on 3 straight possessions on the blocks (7 points in the quarter) ... Athens 35 Vinton County 30 end of the three ... Any thoughts of VC making a comeback were squelched early as Athens with the opening possession in the quarter put the ball in Joey Burrows hands for a smooth 2 from the foul line, followed by an Ibi Watson three pointer- game , set and match as Athens hit on 6/9 FTs down the stretch ... Athens 52 Vinton County 44 final ...


... Pfloyd Napkin Stats - Vinton County ...

Scoring : Jordan Kidd 11, Tyler Walton 9, LB Remy 8, Bryce Owings 6, Matt Smallwood 5, Alex Owings 3, Per Smith 2

3 Pointers: 6/21 ... Kidd 3, Alex Owings 1, Smallwood 1, Walton 1

FT's : 0/0 ...

TO's : 12

... as posted - size was the difference in this one ... Vinton County NOT getting to the line showed their inability to get into the paint, when they did shots were altered and/or blocked ... Athens did an excellent job of keeping VC off the FT line as AHS committed but 5 fouls for the game ...


... Pfloyd Napkin Stats - Athens ...

Scoring : Joey Burrow 13, Ibi Watson 13, Zacchia Saltzman 9, Jared Elmore 9, Sawyer Summers 7, Adam Leuhrman 1

3 Pointers : 4/20 ... Ibi Watson 2, Summers 1, Saltzman 1

FT's : 8/12 ... 6/9 in the 4th quarter ...

TO's : 10

... Size matters/length matters ... I scribbled on my napkin in the 2nd quarter when VC was held to 2 fgs by the Athens defense "one and done" - VC was getting one look/one shot ... as I pointed out Athens has the potential to get "longer" as Ryan Leuhrman is hoped to be ready for the rematch in McArthur ... just a thought - VC hosts Logan Tuesday night - wonder if we will see some different lineups for VC as Coach Combs looks to work in some size of his own in this non-league game while prepping for the Bulldog rematch down the road ??? ...

... on a side note - it was good to get a chance to talk a little hoops with Coach Skinner during the JV game! thanks Coach for taking to time to chat with this old grizzled hoop fan ...

[93Bulldog]

Thanks for saying hey to us 'little guys' Floyd ... lol ...

[pfloyd]

THOUGHT I MIGHT get a seat on press row BUT NO! almost told Tom Metters "Tom if you don't have a napkin or a pencil - give up the seat !!!" LOL ... I behaved myself in the cheap seats surrounded by green and gold ...

Floyd ... Tom has been in that seat since you were traveling around the country in your VW bus attending concerts and picking up 'flower-child' girls ... he was plopped down at the end of press row before I was even a twinkle in my mothers eye ... I'm not so sure you could have got him to move.

Pfloyd, you have the the Hillsboro / Massie score backwards...Hillsboro lost to Massie last night

So how good is Massie? And will then having to play so many games in a short span affect them, in your opinion?
