Re: Coming Soon: Transfer Portal For High School Athletes ? ?

I say just do whatever the hell you want. Mid season, postseason…whatever. Switch schools after your team is eliminated and go help someone else. Maybe get football to 10 divisions and other main sports to 8 divisions. If someone gains some high end science or math knowledge in a class along the wa...

Re: Fan Behavior At Games…Action Needs Taken

I think as fans we think we have a good view or know better than the officials sometimes which is wrong on our part. We have a personal investment therefor may have jaded perspectives. I do think some checks and balances needs put into place. Something I have seen grow over the past cpl seasons is f...

Re: D2 poy

Isaac clary may not be the DPOY but IMO he means as much to his team as any player. He rarely sees the bench and when he does, GA isn’t very good. Prob a 6 win team without him and would be 5th in the OVC at best.

Re: Shot Clock?

No. Just no. There is already enough bitching about officiating as it is. Adding this will make it worse. Then you have to find someone to run the shot clock that has a clue. It is hard enough to find people skilled enough to run the clock. Good point. Many schools have students or very young peopl...

Re: D2 District/Regional

Gonna be tough to predict. Should be a very exciting close to the 22-23 season. Team that finds their rhythm and improves the most between now and end of Feb should emerge as the champ. Too close to call right now.

Re: Pfloyd's Elite 8 of Southern/SouthEast Ohio - New Year's Edition (Wk 5)

Hope the Chiefs can get it turned around. Nice to hear any young person overcoming adversity their senior year. 27 turnovers, to me, says a lot about the Jerome defense. Anxious to hear results from the FU game as a defensive comparison.

Re: 2023 Ohio State Football Off Season Thread

I have no idea how the powers that be didn’t see this mess coming. The money with no strings attached is similar to lottery money. Cut and run, suddenly become afraid to get injured, always seeking greener pastures, etc…. Additionally, how does a >25 yr old brain process instant riches. Will they be...

Re: Gallia vs Portsmouth

Man t Dave you nailed it in your first paragraph. Had our number. And the overall series numbers almost seem unreal. Wow!! Great teams in The Trojan’s past but overall I expected it somewhat closer. Recently we have played not to lose against Portsmouth. Struggled with the Trojan quickness, specific...

Re: Gallia vs Fairland

When I posted, I would not have expected any of those “shoes” to fit Isaac. He has been the exception to the things I said. He is a competitor tho and in that moment I am sure it was more about losing the game than anything personal. Not making excuses. I have no idea what his mindset was Tuesday ni...

Re: Gallia vs Fairland

Fundamentals and team bball IQ. I’m not surprised by this outcome. The showboating, talking and complaining distract the focus needed to play 100%. Play the game. Every possession is important. Save the side show for social media before/after the game. Not the blue devils of the past for sure. Smart...

Re: Question for the masses,"Do I need to include Fort Frye/Pt. Pleasant in the rankings?"

I am fairly sure we all appreciate your efforts PF, and we will read your posts to get info about area teams as most of us are not as committed as yourself. If we see info on a team we personally deem irrelevant, scrolling is easy. You do an awesome job!!

Re: Carrico lost in the sauce in Columbus?

No doubt Reid is working hard and doing all he can to be a good teammate and get better. He showed those attributes as a sophomore in high school. Wise old coach once said the most important game of the year is practice, EVERY practice!! Jordan said game time is showtime, practice makes champions. A...

Re: Wellston Football Coach

Will coach graham be taking on the role of overseeing the youth program? Looks like changes were made in late fall. Based on parents complaining about playing time and positions. Better get the rebuilding done before these young people enter the system. Work harder in practice or off season. Or play...

Re: Gallia vs Fairfield Union

Teams with quick guards are gonna give these devils fits. Gallia is very long but not very quick on the perimeter defensively. And we have lost our blue Devil basketball defensive fundamentals, allow the ball to be centered with very little resistance rather than use the sideline and corners as extr...
