Lucasville Valley picked up another impressive win tonight. The Trojans were scorching the nets from 3-5 feet behind the 3 pt line and the Indians stuck around and had a late surge to take the W. Very impressed with the Indians 8-0 start, having 4 quality wins already. Congratulations to senior Bryan Rolfe picking up his 3rd 30+ point effort in 4 games & reaching 1000 career points in this one!

Congrats to Rolfe...Great kid and player. Valley vs Portsmouth or Rolfe vs Allison has been going on since 6th grade with Valley winning 95% of the games by less than 5. Always great matchups

Olentangy 50
Logan 43 final



... Logan IS getting closer to what Coach K wants at both ends of the court ... the Chiefs had the Olentangy Braves out of the OCC on the ropes by playing OUTSTANDING defense for 2 qtrs and 5 minutes of the 3rd ... the Purple & White frustrated the Gold/Blue & White (yeah I know who has 3 school colors - right) holding the team from Above the Lancaster-Dixon Line to seemingly an entire half of "one & dones" - the Braves with 8 first quarter points and 15 in the second ... while the Chiefs Defense IS where it needs to be - the Logan offense is still in the "learning" phase ... you can see it like night and day - defensively LHS is reacting,moving the feet, beating up the offensive players with their bodies, getting to where the offense wants to get before the offensive player - outstanding !!! then there is the offensive end of the floor - players THINKING where they should be, who should be where, who do I throw to - nothing is 2nd nature .... YET ... it will get there ! ... the kids on offense are playing NOT to make mistakes, thinking about shooting or not shooting ... it only adds up to throwing up bricks whether that's from 18 ft or 3 ft from the basket ... players aren't ready to shoot - yet ... players aren't ready to receive passes ...yet ... players aren't able to put the ball in the hole ... YET ... it's coming !!! Coach Kellough said "after Jan. 1st" ... write it down Logan WILL beat Amanda CC Wednesday ... defense will hold CC to under 40 ... the offense WILL begin to click ... 60+ points ... that will take us to Jan. 2nd vs Watkins Memorial at Home ... Defense & Offense come together to start the new year ...

... Logan showed signs of patience with the ball on offense ... better shot selection through one half as Logan led 24-23 at intermission ... the Chiefs opened the 3rd quarter with a 9-1 run ... had the game in hand at 33-24 with 4 minutes to play in the 3rd ... but as has been the case in the Logan 5 game losing streak ... learning how to play offense with patience, controlling the tempo of the game has been tough to do in crunch time - Olentangy hit a 3 ball after getting a transition bucket ... Logan missed 3 or 4 shots at point blank range ... OHS was finding points in the paint ... from 2:59 in the 3rd Logan up 33-26 OHS finished out the period on a 9-2 run knotting the score at 35-35 end of 3 ... the 4th was STILL close Logan trailing 41-43 at the 4:20 mark of the 4th quarter ... Olentangy went 5/7 from the FT line in the 4th and converted on a Logan miscue to escape Jim's Gym with a 50-43 Olentangy win over the Chiefs ...


... Pfloyd's Official "unofficial" Napkin Stats - Olentangy ...

3 Pointers ... 5/13 ... Carter Kinnaird 2, Jason Sieve 1, Sam Hyburg 1, Austin Luxedor 1

FT's ... 7/16

TO's ... 17


... Olentangy made wholesale substitutions 5 at a time ... played 11 players with 9 denting the scorebook with points ...


... Pfloyd's Official "unofficial" Napkin Stats - Logan ...


Scoring ... Lane Little 15, Isaiah Smith 12, Bo Myers 8, Kory Henthorne 4, Caiden Landis 2, Cole Baron 2

3 Pointers ... 4/16 ... Lane Little 2, Bo Myers 2

FT's ... 9/11

TOs ... 17


... as I posted the Chief's are playing outstanding ball at the defensive end - no thinking , ALL doing /reacting ... still need to take MORE advantage of those forced TOs - when they get the TO, take it as a "W"! - be MORE patient with the ball, work the ball to get THE SHOT the Chiefs want, one that will put points on the board or add to the opponents foul total ... we aren't there yet - still getting "excited" trying to force the ball resulting in a TO of our own hence tonights 17 TO forced by our D, we gave it back 17 times with half of those TO on Logan's part immediately after forcing an OHS turnover ! ... it's coming along !!! Lane Little is still thinking about what is going on on the floor, listening to Coach Kellough, coaching up the freshmen ... LL will be much more comfortable in January as the freshmen will have learned their roles, everyone will be reacting on what they see the defense doing when LHS is on offense ... Isaiah Smith is visually thinking before driving, before shooting or not shooting ... trust your skills I. Smith !!! ... the Offense is one week away ... the 2 games remaining this week will go a long way in righting the ship ...

Logan is getting closer. They will get a W tomorrow night and the schedule definitely eases up a bit after the new year. Although, not like it's a cakewalk by any means, it will definitely prepare them for the D1 tournament

Like I said, it was just my opinion.

Eastern played Valley very tough at home and they are a solid team. I had forgotten they already beat Oak Hill so that is a very solid win.

I have been wrong many times and this could certainly be one of them. All I will say is that if I were putting Wheelersburg, Oak Hill, or I would even say Waverly into the SOC I, I would wager that they would end up winning the league.
thats betting with your heart not head lol

I have no emotional ties to any of those schools. I would be betting with what my eyes have seen.

East appears to possibly be the front runner in the league. I watched them not even compete with St. Joe's who I feel (again my opinion only) would be on par with Valley and Minford. I also think the other teams I mentioned would play with, while maybe not beat St. Joe's.
Crab's Brother I have to agree with you as Waverly knocked off Eastern last night 70-67 in an instant classic......

... a quick thank you to Scott Vermillion & Misty Swaim doing the call from the radio booth at Jim's Gym last night for SAMFM radio of the Logan vs Olentangy - one for doing another great job on the game but also for giving up 10 minutes of air time at the varsity halftime to put pfloyd on the air to talk some hs hoops !!! I wasn't sure what to expect but Scott always does a nice job in keeping things flowing so it was a pretty easy 10 minutes ... talking hoops "ain't" hard for this old man LOL ...

Hope to see the purple hippo at FU tonight. Missed him last time, hope you have the hippo on so I can find you this time. Hopefully FU can compete with the tanks.

I think it will be the Shermans biggest challenge to date. On the road against a very good team, should show a lot about what the Shermans can expect for the rest of the season, IMO. They haven't guarded against the 3 ball as well the last couple of outings, so that could be a big advantage for the Falcons if they can knock down shots early. Wheeler vs. Woodside should be a fun matchup between the bigs that can both step out and knock down jumpers. I think it will come down to how well FU handles the Unioto pressure that they are able to put on in the 3/4 court. Should be a fun game.

I agree. FU can really shoot it. I say Unioto by 10 but this COULD be closer or an upset because of the 3 ball.

It appears Unioto and Peake stand out above the rest. St Charles and unioto would be a great matchup to watch. Both teams have 3 very good guards and two bigs. St Charles bigs are 6-9 and 6-7 with a 6-7 sub. None are as strong or quick as Uniotos bit they are long.

St Charles shot 61% against us last night and had only 6 turnovers. You wont find 3 more fundamental guards. Nothing fancy but they can all 3 shoot the three, drive, and dish.

Unioto 65
FU. 49

Game was never in doubt. Swackhammer kid is a very nice player and then they have several players that play their role well. You can see why they have been hard to beat. FU didn't play their best but credit to the Shermans, they caused them to not play well. FU will be fine and could be dangerous at end of year.

Unioto still cream of crop, I still say Fairland climbs the ladder quick. Valley, Peake, Minford all really good also, D3 will be one heck of tourney battle.

Unioto 65
Fairfield Union 49 a final



... Coach Hoops & the Shermans are #1 on Pfloyd's Elite 8 of Southern/SouthEast Ohio rankings for a reason - the Shermans are simply the most "complete" team Below the Lancaster-Dixon Line - end of story ... proof doesn't come from the committee of one's rankings, or the old Ouija Board ... the proof comes from Unioto's TEAM play on the hardwood ... UHS vs a good Fairfield Union squad at FU, an FU team sitting at 7-1 entering tonight's game was another chance for the Shermans to show more proof that they are more than deserving of #1 Below the Line ...

... It didn't take long for the Shermans to make a statement ... 2 minutes and 22 seconds into the game had UHS throwing the first punches ... a 10-0 run by Unioto set the tone for the game ... the roles were handed out - Unioto would be the "chased" and FU the "chaser" ... good teams take the runs and answer with runs of their own FU did that with a 9-0 run of their own out scoring Unioto 13-6 after coming out of the time out to stop the UHS run at the 5:28 mark ... Unioto showed their entire arsenal in the first period 3 point buckets by Swackhammer & Kennedy ... 2 transition baskets off of 2 FU turnovers ... 6 points from Cole Cottrill and an inside basket by Erique Hosley ... FU showed their hand as to how they would attack the UHS defense as FU drained 3 of 7 triples in the period ... Unioto 16 FU 13 end of 1 ... the Unioto defense took over in quarter 2 as the Shermans held the FU offense to 2 inside makes by the FU big man in the middle Colin Woodside ... that was it for FU ... 5 misses from beyond the three point line ... 5 FU turnovers that led to 3 UHS transition buckets AND an offensive show by UHS PG Logan Swackhammer sealed the deal for Coach Hoops' boys ... Swack scored 12 points in the quarter - 2 triples, 2 transition hoops ... 15 points for the half ... helping to push the UHS lead from 3 entering the quarter to 19 going into intermission ... Unioto 36 FU 17 at the half ... Fairfield Union won the second half ! 32-29 ... but the damage was done ... the outcome was never in doubt ... UHS 54 FU 35 after 3 ... Unioto 65 Fairfield Union 49 a final ...


... Pfloyd's Official "unofficial" Napkin Stats - Fairfield Union

Scoring : Hayden Price 16, Thomas Green 11, Lucas Thompson 8, Colin Woodside 8, Mathew Smith 4, Brad Miller 2

3 Pointers : 6/25 ... Thomas Green 3, Lucas Thompson 2, Hayden Price 1

FT's : 1/5

TO's : 12

Transition Baskets : 5


... Fairfield Union IS one of the better teams in Southeastern Ohio ... when you live by the three , you can also die by the three ball 6/25 from downtown doesn't get it done vs a team such as Unioto who can shoot the 3 ball as well as/or better than FU ... Woodside IS a factor in the paint ... but just like the perimeter shooting was matched by UHS the inside presence of a BIG was matched by Wheeler and one upped by Hosley for UHS ... I'm thinking that the FU coaching staff will be paying me to stay away since I've seen FU twice - both ending in losses - to Logan Elm at home and now the loss to Unioto at home ...


... Pfloyd's Official "unofficial" Napkin Stats - Unioto


Scoring : Logan Swackhammer 20, Cole Cottrill 17, Branson Kennedy 8, Erique Hosley 7, Isaac Wheeler 6, Clay Edler 3, Gabe Fisher 2

3 Pointers : 7/15 ... Logan Swackhammer 4, Branson Kennedy 2, Cole Cottrill 1

FT's : 4/5

TO's : 12

Transition baskets : 7 baskets ... 14 points off of turnovers

Swackhammer (8/13 fg)... Cottrill (8/12 fg) ... Kennedy (3/4 fg) ... Hosley (3/5 fg) => 65 % from the field for the game ...


... I like to jot down my impressions on my napkin stat sheet for each team I'm watching for each quarter of the game - tonight had only two words jotted down on my napkin stats sheet for Coach Hoops' Shermans for the first half of play - "A CLINIC !!!" in all capital letters and underlined 3 times LOL ... simply outstanding - UHS did everything right in taking FU out of the game ... bloodied their nose early with the 10-0 run, scored in every way possible, hit the 3 ball, defended the inside game of Woodside/ the perimeter shooters for FU were 3/12 in the 1st half ... showed FU whatever they could do UHS could do better ... played 9 players with no falloff ... matched the FU inside BIG x 2 of their own in Hosley/Wheeler ... outstanding ... EARNED #1 ...
