You are a joy each year Pfloyd and everywhere I go to high school basketball,people are trying to pick you out of the crowd. For some you are the reason for the season. Have a great summer !
... thanks so much Hoopie74 ... we've talked throughout the years my friend - we are much alike in that we truly enjoy high school basketball - the whole atmosphere surrounding the game -from appreciating the players, the coaches, the fans ... no dog in the fight at games for me - I hope I come across in a positive way when reporting on the games I cover ... and you too on the summer Hoopie - I need full reports on your Indians this summer !!! LOL ...
Whats the reason for the BroMance? I never even heard of this dude before. Only reason I say anything now is cuz he made a preseason/offseason ranking list and then backtracked when he realized he left out some perdy good baseketball teams. I mean make a better list based on more research and then have the cajones to stand by it.
...I assume the "list" you are referring to is on the other thread ... there's no back tracking - if you read - the list are teams that were young THIS season that I expect good, big things from this upcoming season ... of course I'm going to leave out teams - there's 71 of them ... "I do my homework" as best I can - I do have a day job ... never perfect ... and yeah, I STAND BY MY LIST as a list of young teams from this season who WILL be even better next season ...
Jackson ... ended the season playing 4 freshmen getting big time minutes Charlie Woodard, Ryan Seimetz (started pretty much all season) , Stephen Jenkins, Bodhi Wolford ... will have Boston Campbell, Zander Ervin, Dillan Delong returning as the veteran seniors next winter ...
Unioto ... will return a bunch from a rotation of Zeke Schobelock/Kb Perkins, Newton Hoops, Blake Hoops, Blake Fitch freshman pg this season,, Jordan Perkins, Ashton Crace, Connor Dollison,Caden Cutright ... 18+ wins in 2023-24
Warren ... from this past season the Warriors had a roster of 10 sophs, 1 jr, 1 senior ... a 9-10 man rotation ... next season led by lone senior Trent Taylor (6-6) ... PG/SG Julian Stadelman, bigs Chase Lupardus, Hayden Wells, shooting guard Connor Barry, Nick Cressey, Jacob Sealey, Tyson Cochran, AJ Criss ... throw in the outstanding coaching staff - instant top 8 ...
Vinton County ... Coach Nj Kight had an outstanding freshman season at VC taking over for legendary coach Coach Combs ... a couple of the best bigs on the same team in the TVC and SEOhio in Ashton Allman/Owen Hire ... Cobra Sharp (pg) ... one of the best players in SEOhio in shooting guard/swing forward Garrett Brown ... rotation players from this past season - Ashton Tritipo/Parker Shonborn, Matt Hembree ... top 8 in the preseason
OVC teams on my list of teams to watch that were young last season ...
Fairland ...Coach Speed's Dragons weren't the Dragons of years past - but they weren't bad ... within a buzzer beating 3 pointer by Caleb Lovely (SP) of advancing to the District finals at the Convo ... outstanding guards returning -still youngsters with lots of varsity experience after last season - Chase Allen, Brody Buchanan, Will Davis - great group to build around for 23-24 ... add to the mix Cliff Fransen/Trevor Lauder ... I'm keeping an eye the Dragons
Chesapeake ... Coach Ater had the Panthers ready for every game last season, boasted being the only team to beat South Point in Ohio until the post season Regional Final ... Dannie Maynard, Braxton Oldaker, Jacob Skeens, Phillip Thacker - freshman this past season ... Caleb Cox/Camron Shockley - grade levels ... the record will improve from this season for sure ...
South Point ... Regional finalist - I don't need to say much more ... Caleb Lovely - one of the best players in Southern Ohio at 6-3 the jr/senior to be can do it all offensively ... Lovely 6-3 will be joined by Xathan Haney 6-3, Carter Smith 6-3, Jackson Childers 6-6, Braydon Hanshaw 6-3 ... deep run this season ... top 8 personnel
