Not like it is the same coach or anything.
All schools recruit players and some do better than others. Until they do away with the open enrollment BS that allows coaches to recruit, the problem will always be there and someone will always be complaining.
Good luck to the 2 remaining SOC teams and to the Peebles Indians.

ALL SCHOOLS DO NOT recruit players . It seems like a mess with the same schools around Ohio that do . Legitimate transfers are few and far between . Same schools get around the rules . People have lobbied the state to allow open enrollment so that schools can load up to win titles . It's a lot more evident in the larger Cities than small town . I do not have any other knowledge than what I read on here about the Pirates so I take it as hear sake .When you look at rosters from one year to the next and it's the same Big cities schools that have the advantage . These schools are going to win with the way the rules are now. Maybe let the transfers happen but if you have a certain number or if your open enrollment numbers are high you would be placed in a Super Division . I bet that could be the largest Division in the state. Just MY OPINION .

Well the first thing in an AA meeting is admitting that you have a problem.

Congrats to you. Which step are you on so we can all be supportive. Late night trip home after game. Good luck Pirates.

Burg was given no chance in that game as well. Hartley's coach made the reference that they would be playing some "farm" boys from Southern Ohio. Man, did he learn pretty quick those farm boys could play some ball. I guess then this could be the Hickory Huskers against the South Bend Central Bears. Where's Jimmy Chitwood when you need him??

If Burg can beat the press by passing over it and not trying to dribble through it they can play with them. If they can't it could be a long night.

Someone mentioned HP likes to shoot the three ball. This will be there first game at the convo this year so might take them a little bit to get used to the lighting, rim and the seats behind the baskets. If they can't adjust and Burg can turn up the defense they can make this game interesting.
