... my fault Hoopie74 ... I had Western Pike twice - West Union is at #30 (2-2) ... a good 4 point loss to Piketon and a 55-64 loss to a very good Ripley team ... West Union is staying on the radar for sure ...

I feel the teams I have in front of GAHS are in fact better at this point in the season than the Blue Devils I saw last night vs an undersized Jackson squad ... Loveday didn't dominate at the offensive end, he DID change shots from the perimeter as he was guarding Cooper Donaldson much of the second half defensively ... Peck scored 20 points in the 2nd half to prove that size does matter - he did most of that damage with a 1/2 foot or more size advantage for unimpeded layups at the rim ... as far as the rest of the GAHS team nothing special stands out - Evan Wiseman had 9 points but Jackson played solid D for the first half leading at the intermission 23-22 ... GAHS size got the "W" last vs no size for Jackson to stop it ...
... some posters have posted that Gallia will get Fairland for the OVC title ... it may happen, BUT the team I saw last night is no Fairland on paper or on the court imo ... at least not yet ... when is the first matchup between Fairland and Gallia Academy ??? THAT ONE will be worth the price of admission LOL ... if nothing else but for me to see for myself how the 2 teams matchup ...

i think that is a pretty fair assessment of seeing the Blue devils from a neutral standpoint. And even though i thought my blue devils would move into the top 8 i have no problems with the teams you have moved ahead of them. and honestly even if they handle both games next week. i could see more teams move past them depending on there schedules. i think a solid game even if they dont win at fairland may show us more where they are at.
What i will say in there favor is 3 games 3 different leading scorers... I think that will lead to find ways to beating teams several different ways. i think in the 22 regular season games we will be back to 5 or 6 kids leading the way. Loveday sort of needs to go to school off Peck on the way he presents himself down low. We will see but i think that is a pretty good display of who we are we have a lot of kids playing hard but not a lot special i think the special part will be if they can play that way every night they will.

I hope the NY boys get wind of there #33 ranking; while the Vikings sit at # 9.
Perhaps after this week & a win vs Athens, they will get some respect.

High school kids should definitely get really upset and use these rankings to motivate them... come on! Pfloyd does an incredible job, and puts a ton of effort into SE Ohio basketball. If you take it personal or if the kids do, then that's on you/them.

With the number of players Athens will be missing, Vegas probably will have NY favored by 10. lolTruth&fiction wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2017 8:51 amNow you just motivated the Bulldogs . I'll take Athens by 10 . Before your comment it was a toss up .Lol

Agreed. Love this forum. The back n forth banter is what makes it fun - good point.

Can't complain about someone putting an elite out there to go with if you are the only one doing it.
It is a lot of difference between making one up and not putting the time in and doing it like Pfloyd does. Him and his wife put serious time and work into to this elite. But it is sort of fun to read the disagreements and Floyd probably enjoys most of them too. It just wouldn't be basketball season on here without the Elite.
Thanks for the great read.

Pfloyd,
Thanks for the rankings as always!
South Point is 1-1. The loss was a close one to a very good Paul Blazer (Ashland, KY) team. Link: https://goo.gl/SKKn2n. Here's a link to a story on the win against South Webster: http://www.irontontribune.com/2017/12/1 ... eps-61-51/
It looks like the OVC is going to be really tough this year. We should see some teams make deep runs come tournament time. Coal Grove will be really dangerous in D4 after playing their schedule.

Still early in the season, but very encouraged by the play of the 3-0 Trojans. So far in 3 games, Portsmouth is averaging 85 PPG, and have had 3 different players lead the team in scoring. Reese Johnson led vs. Toledo Jones Academy with 31, sophomore Matthew Fraulini led vs. Huntington St.Joe with 20, and Daniel Jordan led vs. Portsmouth West with 17. PHS is getting very good play from its bench also. Gabe Gambill had 15 pts. vs. West subbing in for Isaac Kelly.
I really feel that the 2017-2018 Trojans have the chance to be Portsmouth's best team since the 2014-2015 team with Sky Oliver, Alex Dickerson, Kyre Allison, Kendal Reynolds. and Ethan Leonard being the starters on that squad. That Trojans unit lost in the regional final to Columbus Eastmoor Academy 49-45. This year's Trojans have much more of a presence in the paint, quite different than the finesse teams of the last couple of years. Isaac Kelly, Gabe Gambill, and Myquel McKinley can all rotate on the frontline, giving PHS good depth down low.
The Trojans will have their share of tough challenges in an OVC that could possibly see teams represented in the regionals in D2, D3, and D4 (Coal Grove).
