I don’t think that the officiating was bad or poor but definitely inconsistent. Goaltending on one end, and then not on the other. Anytime the ball touches any part of the top of the backboard, depending on who touched it last, it is automatically awarded to the other team. That might be the first ...

For Boys: 1. D. Jackson-McClain 2. Larry Hisle- Portsmouth 3. John Milhoan-GA (high school all American if I’m not mistaken) 4. Charlie Slack- Pomeroy (All American at Marshall; holds NCAA rebounding record that’ll never be broken) 5. PJ Rase-Chesapeake (gets sorely underrated but 3 out of his 4 yea...

Unfortunately at this point in the game, Martin’s Ferry ran into a team that most of the East District doesn’t do as effectively as SE District Teams: play defense.

MF also coming out in a zone is a head scratcher. Chesapeake is a very capable shooting team.

Intriguing matchup. Eastern Pike has a couple things that MC does not; a true PG and they pass the ball so well that it’s hard to press them. Tucker Howell and Allen for MC present Matchup nightmares for Eastern Pike. If MC shoots the ball efficiently, I can see them advancing. Both schools going fo...

Chesapeake will have matchup issues with Martins Ferry’s big man. MF is very athletic and when they’re shooting the ball well, they’re a tough out. Their losses are to Wheeling Central, St. Clairsville, Monroe Central, Coschocton, Indian Valley, Union Local and Cambridge. All of those teams were pre...

Minford’s first District Championship in 30 Years.

So impressed with MC. Love everything about them. The game was in question for about the first 3-4 min and then MC got control and never even gave a hint of giving it up. I'm going to follow them on their run and I hope it takes them to Dayton. Thanks for the kind words. Had Hiland won I’d been on ...

1998-1999 Season.

River Valley made District Semifinal play with Joey James. Beat Chesapeake at River Valley to spoil their undefeated season. Coached by Carl Wolfe.

SW06 would’ve beat OH09 by 25. Those two burg teams would’ve too. Couldn’t agree more. Maybe even more than that. There will never be another SE Ohio team better than the 06 SW team. The 06 team had elite players and coaches and might be the single best team to ever come from SEO. I agree with all ...

There’s only a handful from the SE District to reach the 2,000 point plateau: Dante Jackson-Greenfield McClain Glen Hursey-Glenford (now Sheridan) Beau Justice- Peebles Trey Robertson-Waverly Adrian Hayes- Oak Hill Nick Aldridge- South Webster If he makes it, and I am sure that he will, it’s a small...

This was one of the best games I’ve watched on a livestream this year, if not the best. Both teams battled and played HARD.

I honestly miss a lot of the older gyms for basketball. Each one of them had character and were unique in their own right. Places like New Boston (with the step on the floor), or Oak Hill, Jackson, and Wellston being up on stage in an auditorium, Wheelersburg’s and River Valley’s being absolute swea...

Here’s a near complete list of OVC Boys Basketball Champions.

SOC3 is 55-29 combined record and 5 teams in the top 25 and only one team with a losing record currently (Wheelersburg). Tells you how good of quality SOC3 basketball is at this part of the season.

A couple takes from watching the livestream: South Webster needs to improve from the Free Throw line. Their Defense is better than what’s given credit for; Minford sat at 46 on the scoreboard for a long time. 1-3-1 defense for SW was effective but should have been utilized more due to SW not matchin...

Oak Hill has beaten Clay, Wellston, New Boston, and Sciotoville and lost badly to West and Minford. Unless the wheels completely fall off the bus, South Webster should win by 20+ points. Oak Hill has surprised me a little bit this year but their early season competition has not been great.

He gets a lot out of his players in such a great way. Doesn’t shy away from great competition in non-league matchups, and even in their “down” years still seems to produce really good teams. I could be wrong but I don’t know if he’s ever had a losing season. If Coach Speed continues coaching, it wou...

As good as Roberts is, his attitude and disposition is three times worse. If all of this is true, then he should not be allowed back on the team. No player, no matter how good, is bigger than the team or the game. If somehow, someway, Norm gets overrun on the decision, then he’s done. As far back as...
