Fairland 49
South Point 38

But it turned out to be a closer game than the score indicated

http://www.irontontribune.com/2015/02/2 ... sectional/

My guess will be that the winner of the Ironton/Oak Hill game will ultimately win this district.

Rooting for the OVC in this one.

The physical play the Trojans saw in the OVC this season has prepared them well for any bigs they will see in The Tournament.

Wow! What a season!

I can't wait to see how these OVC teams do in the tournament

Using Pfloyds elite 8 rankings, and I would say most would agree this is a pretty good judge of ranking teams, I accumulated the following numbers. Using their ranking, adding all 8 teams together and finding their average. SOC II, Minford 4, Valley 12, Oak Hill 14, Portsmouth West 31, Wheelersburg...

My Bracket: 1-Chesapeake/Bye 8-River Valley/9-Nelsonville York 2-Ironton/15-Crooksville 7-Federal Hocking/10-Rock Hill 3-Alexander/14-South Point 6-Coal Grove/11-Waverly 4-Oak Hill/13-Belpre 5-Fairland/12-Wellston I have seen both Ironton and Alexander play. Some of this is to break up the conferenc...

Both Ironton and Chesapeake will be rooting for Fairland tonight at Portsmouth. A Dragon win would give Portsmouth 3 conference losses. If Ironton beats Chesapeake tonight, then the Tigers would be tied for second place(only 1/2 game behind Peake) with three losses as well. If Chesapeake beats Iront...

JV 6:00 This game will be a good one. Both teams come into the game off of wins, but this game will come down to defense and rebounding. The Panthers have had their most trouble against teams that play a slow half court game. Portsmouth tried to press the Peake and lost big, but when they played a p...

I guarantee that nobody wants to play Portsmouth in this Sectional, that's for sure. They have had a tough schedule, but to face Chesapeake and then Logan on back-to-back days? I am sure the Panther fans would have rather it been Logan then Chesapeake. :-) The Trojans were definitely ready to play a...

Chesapeake can seal up at least a share of the OVC Title tonight with a victory at Portsmouth. Portsmouth can get to within a game of the title if they win. Should be a good one.

This should be a good test for Ironton. They are on a big winning streak (5 in a row). It looks like South split with Africentric, who beat Fairland by about 10 back in December. This would be a good out of conference win for the Tigers and the OVC. Also, a win would give Ironton a bump in the seedi...

Using these rankings, here is my guess, total guess, at the first round matchup/bracket:

1-Chesapeake/16-Bye
8-Coal Grove/9-Waverly

5-River Valley/12-Belpre
4-Oak Hill/13-Rock Hill

3-Alexander/14-South Point
6-Ironton/11-Wellston

7-Federal Hocking/10-Nelsonville York
2-Fairland/15-Crooksville

According to Pfloyd's Rankings, here is how this sectional would shape up: Seed-School 1-Chesapeake (15-0) 2-Fairland (10-4) 3-Alexander (11-5) 4-Oak Hill (11-5) 5-River Valley (8-6) 6-Ironton (8-7) 7-Federal Hocking (7-6) 8-Coal Grove (6-8) 9-Waverly (5-10) 10-Nelsonville York (5-7) 11-Wellston (4-...

Here is a link to an article in today's Huntington(WV) Herald Dispatch about Chesapeake and young Mr. Rhoades.

This game will be a real test for both teams... Whoever wins this game will gain some standing when it comes to seeding in the tournament Conference-wise: If Ironton wins, then they are in the hunt for a possible share of the OVC Title. If Fairland wins, they are definitely in the hunt for the OVC T...

RV always "competes" when they are at home. It would be interesting to know the Raiders' record and point margin in home games vs. away games.

I would venture to guess they have a huge advantage when they play at home in the Zebra House.

Is Fort Frye on the list, or am I just not seeing it?
