Randy Hixon is a sophomore shooting guard for Trimble - outstanding ! - I watched him drain 5 threes and 26 points at the Beasts of the Southeast vs Minford ...

Hopefully he can get in quickly tonight. I'm not even sure it was a dirty play.

Regardless, it is unfortunate and horrible for the senior...hopefully it isn't as bad as originally thought.

A couple "upsets" tonight.

#7 Fairland beat #5 Peake by 10+
#20 Minford beat #6 Valley by 2. Valley was down 21-10 after 1, and couldn't get all the way back. Missed a 3 at buzzer to win.

#6 Valley vs #5 Peake tomorrow night at 6:45, great bounce back game for both. Gotta forget the L's real quick.

The injury to uniotos cottrill could be devastating to this team. The play was a 2 on 1 fast break alley oop. To intentionally push a kid when he's in the air like that is disgraceful. The flagrant foul that was called wasn't enough of a punishment . And this wasn't the only flagrant foul called on Zane trace tonight. The officials had no control of this game whatsoever this game is called basketball, not football or rugby. Luckily no one else was hurt in this game. And Zane traces coach should learn to coach instead of complaining non stop.

... I HATE TO READ THIS !!!! any player getting hurt in a game bothers me ... in a game that was ALL Shermans ... my thoughts and prayers go out to Cole & the Unioto TEAM ... sure changes the complexion of the SVC race and the post season - all in the name of not wanting to give up a dunk ... I won't say anymore ... hoping for the best for Cole Cottrill & the Unioto family ... Coach Hoops preaches TEAM ... TEAM Shermans WILL take care of business as a TEAM ... best of luck to UHS ...

Both wrists are broken for Cottrill. He had been playing unbelievable on both ends for the Shermans. It's a devastating injury for a senior, but it definitely won't be the end of his basketball career.

Prayers for this young man.

That is very unfortunate to hear! He's a great player.

The game ended up being fairly inconsequential after the injury. The Shermans rallied and led 44-17 at the half. Cole spoke with the team before he left for the hospital.

Erique Hosley led the Shermans with 16, all in the first half. Unioto takes on Huntington tomorrow night.

I can't NOT put the Dancing Purple Hippo at the end of my posts 93dog !!! I've had the Purple Hippo for 15 years !!! LOL ...sorry


On a basketball note ... Here are the best of the best players I've seen this season on the teams I have "seen" so far ... they ARE NOT in any order :

Collin Woodside (Fairfield Union post player)
Logan Swackhammer, Cole Cottrill, Brandan Kennedy, Erique Hosley (Unioto - just a complete team)
Mason Chapman (Alexander)
Randy Hixon/Justice Jenkins (Trimble)
Brandon Rowe/Trey Kelly (Minford)
Gage Rhoades/Brad Meadows (Chesapeake)
Bryan Rolfe/Blake Howard (Lucasville Valley)
Gunner Short/Isaiah Howell (Fairland)
Lane Little/Isaiah Smith/Cole Barron(one of the best defensive players I have seen this season)(Logan)
Kyler Dennis/Seth Hall (Warren)
Marcus Day (Eastern Brown)
Ky're Allison/ Kendall Reynolds(Portsmouth)
Johnathan Thomas (Adena)
Max Knisley/Cameron Eckles (Washington CH)
Tristan Bartoe/Jordan Albright (Vinton Co)
Ridge Young (Logan Elm)
Corey Wyman/Hayden Mink (Westfall)
Akia Brown (Portsmouth East)
Cameron King/Cole Gilliland (Portsmouth Clay)
Dylan Swingle/Anthony McFadden (Paint Valley)
Pierce Mowery (Zane Trace)
Michael Camp (Circleville)

I'd throw Trevon Turner (Notre Dame) in the mix Pfloyd, if you get a chance to catch a game, he doesn't disappoint. He's avg 20/6/6 a night. His last 3 games have been 18, 28, and 21 points. Great ballplayer and would start on any team with his skills.

Miss the hippo but certainly appreciate pfloyd dropping off some well received and almost unsolicited treats at last night's Meigs-Alex game. Still waiting for his expert napkin stat analysis of the game. It was intense in the Alley to say the least, even impressing world traveling print media guy (and Miller athletics legend) Arkley. Thanks, pfloyd.
