Fairland @ Alexander

[ovcfan12]

Thoughts? How is Alexander this year? What style of ball do they play?

[FHSstudentsection]

dont know anything on Akexander this year. i read on another forum weeks ago that they were down and had lost alot of players. would love to know more about them before traveling 2 hours

Alexander is bad this season, too small/young, might want to save yourself the gas money unless you just want to see a lopsided Fairland W.

Here's a good way to look at it: Oak Hill went on the road Friday night and got blown out, we'll say that they got back to the school at 10pm. Then they had to get back on the bus and make an hour trip to Athens to play Alexander at 10:30am. Alexander is 10-15 minutes from the Convo and didn't play Friday night. Oak Hill won by 27.

I think Fairland by a good bit. They have no answer for Salyers. He is the best true post player in the OVC and one of the best in Southern Ohio.

Here's the recap of the game: http://wxtq.com/sports/2011/12/21/fairl ... alexander/

[pfloyd]

... Fairland has a very nice ball club! good size with Salyers 6-5/Fuller 6-3/ Wooten 6-2/ Goodman 6-4 ... fundamentally sound defensively, work the ball to their strengths in paint - Salyers/Fuller ... excellent interior passing by the bigs ... I really liked the play of freshman guard Nate Campbell - outstanding defense on the ball, quick feet, no hands, for a player of maybe 5-7 height the youngster had 5-6 boards tonight ... Fuller can get to the rim or pull up for that midrange jumper ... Salyers looks like he can do whatever he wants gets to the rim off the dribble/can shoot the 2 pointer, didn't see him shoot anything beyond the arc BUT he is smooth enough to knock that down imo ... I told Coach Davis' dad who was taking in the game that I thought Fairland is well coached, plays with good discipline, they have two "go to" players in Fuller/Salyers BUT their role players are very good ball players as well ... the Dragons impressed me tonight!!! ... FHS deserves the accolades they are receiving ...


... Pfloyd's "Official/Unofficial" Napkin Stats - Fairland ...

Scoring : Evan Salyers 21, Blane Fuller 16, Alec Warner 13, Ryan Wooten 6, Evan Maddox 6, Riley 1, Goodman 2 ... +4 I left when FHS cleared their bench with 4:29 left in the game ...

3-Pointers: 2/6 ... Maddox 1/Warner 1 ... very deliberate offensively/didn't settle for the perimeter shot, always worked the ball AT LEAST into the paint ...

FTs : 9/21 ... the Dragons will have to do much better from the line to compete with Chesapeake in the OVC or expect to go very far on the Road to the Convo ...

TO's : 11 ... great handles on Mr. Campbell and Maddox ... not bothered by pressure ... Campbell has outstanding floor vision as the Dragons broke the Alexander press for 5 fast break buckets ... Campbell WILL make you pay ...

AtTheRim (ATR) : 17 buckets finished AtTheRim for the Dragons

Transition (T) : 3 baskets in transition ...


Fairland 69
Alexander 49 final

... Fairland could have scored as many as they wanted tonight BUT they ARE well coached and it showed in how the bench was used throughout the game ...
