Congratulations to the Cavs on tonight's win ... for the 2nd time vs a quality top 2 SEOAL team the Purple were unable to give the opponent a game past the first 3 minutes of the 1st quarter ... I'm sure tomorrow night vs 3-7 New Lexington the coaches will have the Chiefs ready to compete D1 vs D3 ???... the Purple will be out to avenge last years 67-62 loss to the Panthers ...
... tonight's contest or "non contest" saw a Cavs team that didn't have their "A" game dismantle the Purple ... as was posted this was over before the 1st quarter was in the books ... 4 Chillicothe three balls (Hitchens 3/Dawes 1) and Sugar Ray Chambers with 6 points in the paint to get warmed up was more than enough to knock out the Purple in the opening period ...
Chillicothe 20 - Logan 8 after quarter one ... the second quarter saw 7 Cavs dent the scoreboard ... the 26 to 7 scoring margin had many Cavs fans in the upper levels heading for the exits ...
Chilli 46 - Logan 15 at intermission ... the majority of the second half was played by Logan starters vs Chillicothe 2nd team and JV players - Cavs still won the 3rd & 4th quarters 30-26 ...
Chillicothe 76 - Logan 41 a final ...

... I've seen both of the top two teams in the SEOAL take on the Purple, my impression is that Zanesville is the better of the 2 teams ... at this point ZHS shows to be the more disciplined ball club at both ends of the floor ... seem to be more in control of what is happening on the floor - imo the overall talent level top to bottom favors Zanesville ... ZHS has raised its' level of play from last year - while CHS did manhandle the Chiefs ... AND the Cavs ARE a good ball club - not in question here - BUT I give the edge to the Blue Devils going into their 1/25 showdown ... from what I saw tonight the Cavs will have their hands full on the 12th vs the Canal Winchester "giant killer" Newark ball club ...
