Look forward to this list every Sunday.. the time and effort u put into these rankings is much appreciated. Southern Ohio is lucky to have u as it's #1 highschool hoops fan. Thank you for doing what u do for all of our highschool athletes! My Eagles sit at 13th which I think is about spot on.. would love see them crack elite 8 but gonna be tough.Eastern does have interesting matchup with top15 Peebles at Dave Young classic,that should be fun.

Pfloyd's top 3 are all in the top 10 of the first AP poll in their respective divisions.

How many of the top teams are home grown with no transfers ? Just curious if any. I mean no disrespect to transfers .That's their right .

6 of the top 8 do for sure, unsure about Logan or Gallia.

[1987chieftains]

Logan’s are all original from Logan.

No transfers for Logan, all families from Logan.

[Chieftain Fan]

Logan’s are all original from Logan.

They also have several 4.0 on the team ( Jr.Caleb Bell, Coby Bell , Wes Brooks , Layton Cassidy, Tyler Cummins and Dawson Libben). If I omitted any feel free to add. Not sure about Cadin Landis Senior but might be . Bo Myers and Landon Little are close also . Smart and great bunch of young men and they can play some pretty good basketball also. Good luck to the Purple Gang!!!!!!!

Off the top of my head

1. Fairland (8-2) - Howell came from Gallipolis in Junior High, I think that's it.
2. Logan (9-0) - as previously stated, none.
3. Oak Hill (10-0) - I believe 4 out of 5 starters are transfers. Carroll x2 and Long from Jackson, Darby from Rock Hill
4. Unioto (8-1) - Swackhammer is from Jackson, moved to Unioto in Junior High.
5. Fairfield Union (6-3) - Can't remember exactly but I think Thompson moved in, right?
6. Chillicothe (9-3) - Noel moved in this year but isn't one of the leading scorers.
7. Gallia Academy (8-1) - Will need help here, not familiar with Gallia..
8. Zane Trace (8-2) - Will need help here also.. I believe they got a kid from Waverly but not sure if he's a significant part of the team or not.


Anyone else I'm forgetting?

Just to clarify for Oak Hill, Long returned to the county from living in Florida for a couple of years. He had not played for Jackson since the 7th grade.

Hey PFloyd, VC is 7-1 since Naylan Yates joined the team after his preseason ankle injury. Now Nevan is getting in the groove after surgery on a dislocated finger from football. Hoping the last half of the season gets the Vikings in tournament shape. Eli Griffith should be back sometime in early February!!

[93Bulldog]

The general makeup of VC is very much the same as last year's D2 district champion. Take out Bartoe and put in Speakman. Not much drop off there.

They can make another run, but they gotta get out of that 4 spot in Logan. Getting a top 3 seed is critical!

... looking forward for the Vikings of Coach Combs' to get to full strength for the first time this season ! Vinton County will be a different looking team when Griffith gets back - they will have a solid inside threat with "good hands" who will look to score off of the passes from the perimeter ... once VC gets an inside scoring threat, the perimeter will open up more for Speakman, Nevan & Naylan Yates AND others as well ... with not much film on VC with ALL of the pieces on the floor at the same time - they will definitely have a different look at both ends of the floor imo ... as I said I LOOK FORWARD to seeing the "million dollar man" /restructured Vikings that I envisioned when I put together my preseason rankings and Vinton County was in the 3 or 4 TEAMS ...

What about Wheelersburg Pirates, I know there football team had quite a few, what about basketball team.
