KY,

I'm sure they are still pretty good...they had a nice group of kids. Yeah, we played Hughes at Wheelersburg....he's a really nice player. The Tigers need to get healthy, and get ready to end the year on a strong note! Good luck to your son the rest of the year.

I know that in the 7th grade it's Eastern, Western, Jackson, Portsmouth, and Waverly...not sure about 8th grade.

Short-handed or not, the Tigers have to learn to step up and overcome adversity (just as any young kid/team learns). You have to give all the credit to Wheelersburg. The referees were allowing a very physical game, and they took advantage of that by extending pressure in the half court and creating ...

Actually, it's Portsmouth, not Piketon, who's in it.

Well, round 2 tonight at Waverly...hopefully, it lives up to the last battle. The Tigers come in a little short-handed, as two starters may be out of the lineup b/c of sickness. Hopefully, the guys coming in step up and we have another great game, because the Cavs are going to come in ready to go. G...

Well, Kentucky Trojan, Portsmouth is coming to the tournament at Eastern, so hopefully the Tigers get a chance to play them. I think it might be a little different than as 6th graders. Besides, isn't your son playing in Kentucky?

Hitch,

I would love to see you guys get in the one that Eastern is having...Waverly, Western, Eastern, Piketon, and Jackson (who has a nice squad) are the teams that I know are in it.

With the dates, I take it that this is for AAU and club teams as well...

AdamSchefter, thanks for the kind words about the boy. Hopefully, he continues working on his game and gets better. As I said, it should be another barn-burner when they come to our place.

7th Waverly 52
Minford 9

8th Minford won by 2 in a great game. Waverly missed a contested layup at the buzzer that would have sent it to overtime. Waverly 7th grade is now 7-1, while the 8th grade is 6-2.

Si, I agree, the number of fouls were definitely in our favor, but as you said, you guys do play very aggressive on the ball which will create those. The riot comment was a good one! I'm not sure who we'll have calling the game, but as you said, I hope they do a good job and let the kids decide it.....

Si.., I couldn't agree with you more....it was exactly what I hoped/expected it would be. The intensity and environment was like a high school game...so cool for the kids, and thanks for the compliment on the big kid, as "Big Red" is my boy. I thought Chillicothe's pressure and physicality...

This one should be a dandy! Both teams are coming in undefeated, as Waverly just beat an undefeated Wheelersburg team by 11 on Monday evening. Chillicothe has yet to be tested, so you never know how they will react if this game is close. I look forward to a hard-fought, injury-free game! Go Tigers!

I have not seen the Jeeps yet this year, but obviously they have a nice basketball team. What will they try to do? Are they full-court pressure, do they like half-court sets...talk to me Jeeps? Who are the players we should know about?

Actually, we don't come to your place until Jan. 28th...the high school team goes to Burg next week.

The Waverly/Burg 7th grade game was a dandy! The Hughes kid can flat out play. I spoke with his Grandpa before the game, and he said he's only been back from his injury since Jan. 2nd....he's only going to get better. When we travel to their place next week, it's going to be a dogfight. I thought bo...

Waverly 7th grade beat Huntington by 30+...all 15 played significant minutes again. The 8th grade game was a barn-burner. Huntington jumped out on us double-digits, but Waverly responded with a strong 4th period to pull out the 2-point home win. Both teams remain undefeated, but we have a huge week ...

The Henderson twins (Jake and Joe) are very talented, and have great basketball I.Q. (I am biased since they are family). Both have played very well so far this year, and seem to thrive in the clutch (both have hit last second game-winners this year). Duke McAllister plays very scrappy, and I think ...

Si..., I've been hearing a lot of good things about that Chillicothe 7th grade group. I'm excited for our match-up on the 9th (Waverly). Our kids haven't been tested yet, but we play Wheelersburg on the 7th of January, and then you guys on the 9th...that will be a tough week, and I'm anxious to see ...

Thanks Crab's brother
