Watched my Logan Purple under Coach Kellough scrimmage vs Coach Barrick's Eastern Pike squad this morning … both teams are in good hands with their respective coaches running the show … I watched 2 mentors who have 814 high school coaching "Ws" under their belts … Coach Kellough and Coach Barrick were "teaching" both players and assistant coaches the game of hoops today - as a cheap seat guy THIS is what scrimmages are all about - teaching the game …

… it is so early in the campaign I paid little attention on the offensive end of the floor … I looked at defensive effort/fundamentals … where do these teams stand and where did it look like they were going under new leadership … it is all upside for both teams … Eastern Pike lacks size - although they are "strong" across the board … they play hard, will put a body on you … Coach Barrick worked hard on getting "bodies" on the floor , in the positions they needed to be on the floor at both ends of the floor … I saw lots of talented athletes on the Eastern side of the court - looking forward to seeing EHS live when the season opens … The Logan Purple has many many positives … Lane Little (PG) may be the quickest/playmaker guard I will see ALL season … Isaiah Smith (6-3) is pure and simple an athlete … he was a stud on the football field/ he will be outstanding this season on the court at both ends … Kory Henthorne (6-5) post player … has to fill the roll of "big man in the middle" under Coach Kellough , KH will have a great season in the paint … big/strong and can shoot the FT , more importantly he is very coachable … Sam Evans at 6-4 is a question mark - he CAN BE a difference maker if he buys into the program, Evans is long, has basketball talent can be a major help on the boards at both ends … 5th starter will come from the newcomers in my mind - Bo Meyers or Kalib(?) Bell both talented freshmen … Bell is a solid defensive player/ has length / can shoot the 3 ball consistently … add to the mix Kayden Landis (6-3) soph, soph guard Bradie Walsh , senior backup point man Cole Baron quick/strong/100% in your face at both ends … senior Chase Walter (6-4) will spell Henthorne in the paint …

… this group of Purple is the deepest squad for many years …

… Coach K, is preaching defense, teaching defense, instructing on the "true" fundamentals of playing D … keeping players "in play", hustling with a purpose - not taking themselves out of the play by overplaying … getting everyone to be in position to hit the boards, getting a body on people, getting players to stop using their hands, moving their feet - I know ALL of these are basics BUT if you have athletes YOU as the coach can improve TEAM the most by making sure these athletes know/use the fundamentals … games are won by doing ALL of the little things better than your opponent … offensively - not giving up your dribble, stop the "as soon as you get the ball put it on the floor - pass it ! … get in the triple threat position (basics) … square up to the basket … can't make a play with your back to the basketball … bigs inside - getting under control before going up strong … seems simple enough BUT youngsters want to get the ball out of their hands and up too soon - ending up with an unbalanced shot in the paint/when you get the ball inside TEAM needs to score or get to the line … one of the areas I see as one that Coach K will work on is "feeding the post" … seems easy BUT there is a skill in getting the ball into the paint, to your BIGS in a position so that your BIGS can be effective with the ball - score /fouled or both … Coach Kellough expects fundamentals out of EVERY player on the court - from the seniors on down … best player on down the line … no one gets a free pass … do it Coach Kellough's way or you won't be doing it … THIS is discipline … THIS is how you create an atmosphere of respect for TEAM, coaches, officials etc.

… Coach K does it the way I personally like to see it done … DEFENSE , DEFENSE and more DEFENSE …the Chiefs will pressure the opposition for 32 minutes … teams better be in shape playing the Purple as there will not be much drop off in the pressure when subs enter … fans will like the product on the court this season … FUNDAMENTALS at both ends BY EVERY PLAYER ON THE COURT - if you are the best player on the court YOU will be as fundamentally sound as anyone - in the end THAT alone makes THIS team better top to bottom - I like it ! … it's how you make the best athletes even better … it's how you make TEAM the best it can be … your athletes are always going to make "the plays" on the court that people aren't supposed to make - as a coach you count on that - we're talking about 2-3 plays like that a game BUT as a coach in order to be a "good team" you have to count on solid fundamentals out of EVERY player on EVERY play …the pay off is "Ws" …

… I'm excited about this season for the Purple !!! looking forward to seeing the improvement from today to my next "eye test" of the Purple in the scrimmage season … Best of luck to Coach Barrick & Eastern Pike , I will see EHS down the road I'm sure …

… Thanks brown13 - I feel lucky to be able to call the LHS campus home everyday … I agree - it was a good first outing for both squads … I saw a couple Eastern Eagles not dressed … I didn't know where they fit into the mix … they too looked "strong" , not especially tall - in the 6-2 area is my guess, but they had some width to them … Coach Barrick will put a quality "product" on the court - guaranteed …

Nice post on the Eastern and Chieftains. It's nice to see positive post on High School Basketball . As fans we take for granted the hard work and sacrifice these young people endure. Eastern has a nice group of young men that will represent their school well . Good luck to them for a successful and injury free year. The Chieftains will represent the community in a positive way . The future looks good . Nice to see a mix of seniors and under class men.

The varsity will scrimmage at the Hawhee Gymnasium while the reserves and freshman will scrimmage up at the high school. There is a playoff game at the football field, attempts were made to move the scrimmage to Thursday but scheduling conflicts would not allow it. Looking forward to watching three good teams go at it Friday....

Minford at Adena

1st quarter Adena 20 to 10.
2nd quarter Minford 16 to 12
3rd quarter Adena 11 to 2
4th quarter Adena 13 to 12.
5th quartet Adena 23 to 16.

Adena ' s big 3 are really good. They will need some of the younger players to step up. If that happens, they can be very good.

… did Adena have any players from last season NOT come out for basketball as was posted before practices got underway ? or are they going to be "loaded" with returning talent from last season which would move them UP the rankings quickly ? …
