What is the scouting report on Ripley this year?

He’ll know more than I but they are the team to beat in the SHAC and IMO would be #7 or #8 in these rankings...above Fairfield. Their 6’10 twins are a load.

[Ironman92]

Just kidding on the 6’10 twins

[danicalifornia]

I once drove through Beaver. That's literally all I've got lol

Better than us you are...you think

Nope, just occurred to me that I've never done anything there. You would've thought that in all of my years of playing, coaching, and scouting that I would've at least experienced something there. After watching them last night, I want to make sure to see a game there either this season or next and I'll definitely get some pizza afterwards!

What is the scouting report on Ripley this year?

They are young and quick,play 8 players who seem to be interchangable.7 can shoot the three and they defend well. Don't think I would want to run with them. Glad Peebles doesn't play them till last game of season

32West could probably give all more info. On the Shac topic

Happy New Year

Pfloyd: Happy New Year.

My grandmother taught at New Boston from 1922-1957 I believe. Because of that I did my student teaching at New Boston in 1990. Great little school.

Hoopie’s description is pretty accurate. Ripley plays well as a team with no one averaging double figures, but basically the whole rotation between 5-9 ppg. Rebound by committee but not huge, I’d expect Miller will have a advantage inside for Eastern.

... Eastern Pike entertains 7-1 Ripley Tuesday night ... this should be a great test for the Eagles ...

Should be a great game...we went to Ripley last year and escaped with the W. Glad you think as much of the Eagles as we do....although you did plummet us to #30 for losing to Oak Hill and Africentric Floyd lol.

Thx-it was a good weekend for the Eagles, good luck to your boy over the next four years , he’s gonna b a good one!

Thank you! And good luck to your Eagles !! Spent my elementary and middle school years out at Beaver so y'all still close to my heart!

That boy sure would look real good in the brown and white!!

Great rankings as always Floyd. Will be interesting to see how things play out as January hits. North Adams is actually 3-6...losses to Minford, Fairfield, Lynchburg, Eastern Brown, Ripley and West Union in the holiday classic. Wins over Fayetteville, Portsmouth Clay and Peebles. Don't count the Green Devils out they have no bad losses on their resume.

Nice looking Elite down all the way. You should get paid for all the work and travel you put in . Nobody does it better . Is this the highest the Chieftains have ever been? The Shermans are closing back in . FU is tough , Oak Hill is cruising and Fairland , well they are No 1 and another loss could have some questions. I think an ELITE Holiday Tourney ( at the CONVO) would be out of this world . Take a portion of the gate and give it back to a worthy Charity ,with an all tourney team and large Media coverage . This is what High School Basketball should have more of . SEO has the best Fans and some of the best hidden talent. Thanks Floyd for giving us some really good insight! Happy and Healthy New Year!!!!!!!!!!

Happy New Year my friend! Now its time to get down and dirty into the conference slates. Lets Go Trojans!

T&f ... it IS the highest ranking for the Purple & White ever in my rankings ... the Chiefs have so much experience albeit still mostly 11th graders with Landis being the only starting senior ... the LHS top 7 are outstanding ... all contribute, all play defense, all can handle the ball , all can shoot the 3ball ... with 6-7 Landis and 6-5 Myers they have size to play in the half court, slower tempo game if that's what is called for ... if they need to pick up the tempo they have the quickness in all 7 players to win THAT battle ... IF an opponent wants to try to go up tempo Logan can bury them in a short period of time (ie. Bo Myers knocked down 18 points in 3 min 18 sec of the play clock vs Unioto to separate the Chiefs from the U at Unioto) ... a tough matchup for teams are the Purple & White ...

I know that Logan beat Athens at Logan earlier in the season BUT game #2 this coming Saturday night will be interesting imo ... Athens "found"
something vs Logan - their own BIGS - Butcher was actually very effective vs Landis in the paint when he got in the game in the 2nd half - he was very physical in the paint ... it will be interesting to see how this one plays out at McAfee on the 6th of January ...

Happy New Years to you too Truth&fiction !

[pfloyd]

... need to decide on where to go tomorrow night !

Logan @ Washington CH
Eastern Pike vs Ripley
Warren vs Meadowbrook

... Logan should take care of the Lions ... both of the other games will be excellent games imo ...

I'm headed to Beaver.

[Ironman92]

I vote Beaver pfloyd....you know your Warriors of Warren. Seeing Eastern vs Ripley will give you a better idea of Eastern but also some basis on the SHAC teams as they face Ripley

[mlittle]

Agreed! Eastern vs Ripley game
