Congtrats to the Panthers on their district championship. Finished 7th. In the SVC, Won 5 games in The regular season and have pulled out 4 great wins. They shortened the game in the 4th and a 23-1 team allowed them to do it. Anything can happen in tourney and Southeasten is proving that.

I'm a Southeastern fan now. How far can they go

Unreal. Same coach that took a crooksville team, with a losing record, to the district finals.

Hahahhaha


This is legitimately the funniest thing I've ever read on on preps. New or old. I'm sorry! Hahah!

I was rooting for them throughout the game. They came alive in the second quarter.
Ran a couple minutes off the clock standing at half court forcing the oaks to come out of their zone.
They just plugged away and took care of the things they needed to

Congratulations tomcat, you won the internet!

I'm going to say this one more time and then I'm through with this...As I said previously...Oak Hill was overrated BIGTIME...They played a weak schedule is why they had a good record......Fairland was by far the best team in the tournament in div3 followed by South Point.....I put the eye test on oak Hill 3 times and they should have lost every game....

Hiland and Garaway are always good.

Fairland played Garaway back in December.It was 80-52 Dragons.

I guess my prediction of SE by 2 in a major upset was pretty good pick.

Fairland defeating Garaway that easily in the regular season is very good news!!

I think Oak Hill was seeded perfectly. If we are being honest The SE District in D3 was historically bad this year.

The 3 seeds didn't make it out of the Sectionals. One of them was beaten by the 14 seed.

The 4/5 seeds weren't great. Ironton / Minford. Piketon / Eastern Brown.

The 1 seed at Waverly-- Lynchburg Clay? And Portsmouth was the 2 and was beaten by 20+ by the 6 seed in D4.

The 6 seeds --- no complaints. Both were better than advertised or .... was it because the others were so bad?

Think about what Southeastern did this year. They went 5-17 and then won 4 Tournament games! And it wasn't because the seeds were upset along their path-- they beat an 8 then a 1 then a 5 and then the 2. That's the toughest path possible with the exception of the 5 !!

I picked the upset as well. Great run by Southeastern

I love this SE team! The records don't matter when it comes to the tourney. Everyone has to be aware! This is by far the biggest cinderella team the state has seen this decade, if not longer! They will get a tough task with Hiland. Very well coached and something that will hurt SE, they haven't played them or seen them play. Goodluck to SE!! But hard to see anyone except Fairland making it to columbus out of the region

Mr wonderful
As we all might have expected you are always ready to bash oak hill and Norm. Had it turned out the other way you still wouldn't give credit to the oaks. The oaks were not OVERRATED as you so state time and time again. The SOC league that they played in did have tough competition... Minford Webster burg. Who does the OVC have.., fairland ! Kids have off nights and at times the oaks struggled but these kids are a class act. Can't say the same about me wonderful

Oak hill was ok this year. They were just coached to their abilities and they won a lot of games because they did not change their identity, but they had no chance and were lucky to advance as far as they did.

Wow, congrats to Southeastern.

I find myself agreeing with you a lot of late.

Completely agree. I have seen them the past two weekends and I can't believe that team had only lost one game.

Oak Hill did not improve over season - and teams figured out what to do against them to have a chance, especially during the tourney.
Fairland is a beast of a different color but to say Oak Hill was overrated is off base. They beat some good pretty teams and made through the regular season with one only loss.
Southeastern did the only thing they could to win and it was a great coaching stradegy.
Same thing happened to a great Waverly team back in the John Shoemaker days. Waverly ranked around #2 in the State and undefeated I believe and fell by one in the SECTIONAL with stall tactic. It happens.

Agree with the fact that D/3 is down this year with so many upsets that have taken place. Fairland is a different beast and probably would win the D/2 district as well. What I have witnessed the last 2 weeks in the Convo is Oak Hill is a solid disciplined team that is not overrated. Too win that many games they had to play well for the most part of the year. In the Convo they played both games in foul trouble especially last evening. That game changed when 13 and 23 went to the bench. Only played 6 players and became offensively inconsistent. Still played good defense but could not score. With that being said a fine season came to a end and SE played with much more grit.

Southeastern didn't stall, Oak Hill just plays at a deliberate pace and only takes GOOD shots combined with great defense that takes time to score on by default, their help and recovery is excellent. Oak Hill decided to go zone to start the 4th and Slaughter elected to hold the ball, 2 things could of happened from that point. 1. Oak Hill goes man or extends the zone to force SE to play. 2. SE holds the basketball the entire 4th quarter and goes for the last shot. SE would of took option 2 and as the underdog I don't blame them, you limit possessions often in high school hoops if you are not as strong as your opponent talent wise, but even that is debatable between these 2 teams. if Oak Hill didn't finally go man after about 3 and a half minutes that is just what SE would of done, held for 1. I don't think you can call that a stall game , a stall or delay game is coordinated offensive action to control pace and work in continuity to limit possessions while at the same time using pressure release to exploit pressure defense after you put them to sleep with your action so to speak, not holding the ball outside the zone defense coverage area to make your opponent adjust or go man. If SE decides to delay vs BH , I assure you it will not feature a unguarded player standing at halfcourt with no defensive presence around him. I was surprised that Oak Hill aloud this to happen but at the same time I am not, just watching Oak Hill for 5 minutes anyone can ask how they won 23 games, they don't beat people with overwhelming talent , they went 23-2 with methodical disciplined fundamental basketball combined with great defense and shot selection. Say what you want about Norm , whether you agreed or disagreed but he has 700 + wins and I'm not so sure many other coaches if any would of won 23 games with this particular Oak Hill team. Good Luck to Southeastern vs Berlin Hiland.
