Pfloyd's Elite 8 of Southern/SouthEast Ohio Week #3

[biggdowgg]

by the way the drop doesnt surprise or bother me either we been there before, we was laughing that we dropped 20 spots in one wack

[pfloyd]

... to my Portsmouth posters/friends I have to agree with you - the drop by Portsmouth was indeed unprecedented - I didn't even realize that I had dropped them that far until biggdowgg pointed it out ... although the loss to South Point said "whoa maybe the Trojans aren't as good as they should be" to the committee - with that said PHS will be taking on Valley on Monday the 28th of Dec. - this will tell me much more than a 2 point loss at the buzzer ... PHS fans I am an equal opportunity "dropper" of teams - I did the same to my Logan Purple - I kept them where they were in the top 15 due to improvement on D, the "hope talk" of improvement BUT at some point you have to get "W's" LHS lost all 3 games last week - albeit they were IN and arguably should have beat both Lancaster & Vinton County BUT they didn't ... there WILL BE a game that signals the turning point for my Chiefs - when the D does what it is doing now - holding teams under 50 - AND the offense puts up 60-70 ppg (AND it WILL) ... when the bigs down low relax in the paint - this doesn't mean be slow, this means make basketball moves/foot work/body control/"touch" are basketball moves not just "putting the ball up" THIS IS ALMOST THERE ... when the perimeter shooters are not only getting the ball in positions to score BUT ARE READY TO SHOOT & SCORE when they get the ball ... there WILL BE THAT GAME I promise when ALL of this comes together - it's there in "individual possessions" already ! it has to become the "norm" ... as Coach Kellough said "after the first of the year " ... we're getting closer to Jan 1 ... Logan WILL turn things around after the New Year AND WILL GET W's in the POST SEASON - write it down ...

You know I love you, pfloyd, and really I knew we would drop in your rankings, and we should have......I just didn't think that we would drop without a parachute..... There's no question that there is room for improvement for the Trojans......I saw some of that improvement vs. Africentric. There are 3-4 sophomores either starting or playing key roles at this point of the season, and it's taking time for Coach Collins to find a working rotation.

[peake71]

The Peake lost in overtime to Westerville North 65-73.
Brad Meadows had 36 point and 20 rebounds.

[peake71]

Should be score of 75-73

[pfloyd]

The Peake lost in overtime to Westerville North 75-73.
Brad Meadows had 36 point and 20 rebounds.

... playing these types of games will do nothing but make the 'Peake better ... they will get the loser of the Newark vs Toledo Woodard game ?

[danicalifornia]

Looked up Westerville North, definitely a good team based off of results, it just blows my mind that a big D1 doesn't have anyone over 6'3 on the roster! Must not have anybody from the Stonerook family.

Looks like the Convo is going to be real fun in D3! Chesapeake, Valley, Minford, Lynchburg, a resurgement Portsmouth, Adena, Westfall, Alexander amongst the teams that might be there and that's probably leaving out some really solid teams.

[danicalifornia]

At this moment, I'm putting my 2 cents in that there should be the first tie of the season in the Elite 8!
