The Tartans, like many teams, have had several touchdowns called back throughout the season. That has plagued them all season. Why make excuses for them? How long can you say "we didn't play our best", or "if not for all the penalties", or "it could've been worse if not for ...

Waterford is just as physical as last years Caldwell team that smashed East. No. You saying that Waterford is not physical? I am not saying that they aren't physical, but to say that they are as physical as Caldwell was the last few seasons is a major stretch. Caldwell's physicality may very well b...

No.

Blue33, how do you figure that margin against ND? ND was up on Oak Hill by 3 scores at Oak Hill. Lost the game in the last seconds. Oak Hill led most of the game at East, and lost in the last minute. I have a hard time seeing the East-ND game being decided by than a score and if their Oak Hill games...

Barring no injuries, this game will be good for both teams. Good teams need tested when planning for a playoff run. I'd expect both teams to try and expose perceived weaknesses. Both teams will grow from it. I think this one will be close for a half with Burg eventually pulling away.

Hurts Wheelersburg a bit, he's 6'7" and can jump out of the gym. They'll still be real solid with Coleman and Holden, but this is a blow for sure. East is loaded but don't sleep on other teams in the SOC 1. Clay is as good as anyone, Western is loaded, Eastern Pike is well coached and even Not...

Asb, I'm trying to understand where you're coming from, but I'm struggling. First, we know you've watched Akia since kindergarten. Most fathers have watched their kids from day 1. Second, what adjustments didn't they, or should they have made? I saw some adjustments and the coach you are giving so m...

East is now 19-4.

Fairfield shot the ball extremely well, especially Ethan Putnam. He had an excellent game. This time of year the games do tighten up. East did not play as well as they are capable, Fairfield had some to do with that. However, they did win and advance. Also a great showing by Clay, the 4th best team ...

Ironman92 you forgot to carry the 1.

Agreed, Peebles would not win the SOC II. Wheelersburg and Lynchburg will get a chance to gauge where the top of the SHAC and the SOC II measure up.

I was beat to the punch! Clearly the night before the games begin, haha!

Correct, there is a reason they've lost so many games. Playing Wheelersburg twice, who would win the SOC 1. Playing Minford twice, who would win the SOC 1. Playing Valley twice, who would win the SOC 1. Playing Waverly twice (and beating them by 15) who in my opinion would win the SOC 1 Playing Oak...

This sectional has the makings of some great tournament basketball. Now that the matchups are set, what are the predictions/projections for these games and teams? 1. Sciotoville East vs. 8. Leesburg Fairfield 2. Eastern Pike vs. 7. South Webster 3. Notre Dame vs. 6. Western Pike 4. Peebles vs. 5. Po...

I agree with you completely about the transferring solely for athletics. I don't think it would be a "drastic" step back academically. Again, that's beyond the point I think we are both in agreement on. I really wish the state could find a way of enforcing the rules or implementing rules t...

My apology this is a Minford post. I was just responding to SWJEEPS22 own disbelief. I don't believe it's far fetch and I'm sure those kids would never let the impossibilities of others determine what they can do. It may seem impossible in others eyes but not theirs and DS would just make them that...

So a lifetime of molding young people into men of character (and winning a ton of games along the way) means nothing? Some people work their entire lives to build up good will, gain others' confidence, etc. Coach Barrick's past proves at least one thing, the man can coach! If our past credentials/re...

Clay also doesn't lose any players. ND loses only one senior who didn't play much. Eastern and Western return nearly their entire teams too. It will be an absolute dog fight again next year. I'm sure Clay was thinking repeat this year too, but things happen. I hope the Tartans are just in the moment...

Two observations from the outside: 1. The S.O.C. I is much deeper/better this year than last. That certainly has played a factor. 2. Eastern lost the best player in the league from last season in Josh Thacker. He masked a lot of the problems that last year's Eagles had. They were not a high scoring ...

Rosemount Guy, Why are you constantly bashing East? What great victory out of conference did Clay have this year? Here is the bottom line; East did what they had to do, won all their home games, well so far, and they have gone on the road and won the games they were suppose to win and stole a few t...
