I have watched a lot of high school basketball this winter. Mostly online which is actually better because I can watch more than one game. :D In my opinion, Warren Local is the best coached team by far that I seen. It is called TEAM Basketball. Pass the ball, take good shots, fundamental rebounding and defense. The way the game is suppose to be played.

We played them a couple of times in the tournament in the past and they were miserable to game plan against. They always play to their strengths and like you said, they are fundamentally strong at everything.

They are a joy to watch every year.

Glad to see at least the District Finals there. I know it means a lot to the kids who are fortunate enough to play there.

And as a fan it's a great place to watch ball!

Good to see the District & Regional games back at the CONVO. That Basketball 30 environment is something to remember! Very exciting place to play!

This game at the Eagles Nest really shows how much Fed has improved since the season opener. They only beat Belpre 59-50 earlier in the year and playing in that crackerjack box of a gym is normally extremly difficult - and it's not like the Golden Eagles are a bad basketball team. They were (9-7) and the Lancers just dismantled them.


BELPRE — Belpre hung around with Federal Hocking for nearly a quarter Tuesday night. Then, Tariq Cottrill took over. The Lancers’ junior point guard hit back-to-back 3-pointers, including a deep one at the buzzer, to end the opening period and give Federal Hocking a 25-14 lead. The second quarter was all Lancers as they outscored the Golden Eagles 23-4 en route to a 74-45 victory over to remain unbeaten in the Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division. Federal Hocking, which got a 27-point, 11-assist, six-steal effort from Cottrill, has now won 15 straight games. Belpre fell to 9-8 overall and 5-3 in the TVC.

“(Cottrill’s) basically our floor general out on the floor,” said Federal Hocking head coach Jonathan Thompson. “I kind of give him the reins and call out offenses when he sees stuff. Definitely proud of the performance he had. He was looking to be a passer more than he was a scorer. That’s always helpful because when he can see the floor and get everybody else involved, that’s what we want. When our team is all hitting shots and we’re facilitating the ball the way we’re supposed to we play pretty well.”

Circleville hosting Fairfield Union tonight ... should be a good game - FU IN the Elite 8 while Circleville youngsters trying to jockey for seeding position(s) in the post season AND give us more to think about for next years rankings ... the Tigers of Coach Carpenter have the physical makeup and talent to be a "player" in Elite 8 talk for the 2023-24 season starting 2 juniors (Slater Search/Briley Cramer) 1 soph (Drew Thornsley), a freshman PG in Joe Wray to go with the lone sr. Ian Warden ... Cramer can be/is as good as he wants to be - size at 6-4+, length, handles the ball well for his size AND he's "a player" ...

FU up 24-14 at the half. Circleville has not been able to get many clean looks at the basket at all. Schmelzer dominated the 2nd Q with 10/6

My question is how is Webster ahead of Burg?? Burg resume is way better plus 2-0 H to H

They finished in two big games against Webster. Not saying they are better but thats a little silly to say they cant finish!

sw messed up in the start both games and had to fight back every minute wheelersburg didn't finish vs iroton valley and minford and eastern and zt so and sw beat eastern by 20
Or maybe Burg had a good game plan? For Burg to be in the game in all of the above mentioned games is well above what anyone thought of them this year other than maybe bbjunky

I think Burg is very solid. The @ Eastern was a bad loss, but then next time they played they won by 30+. They had Zane Trace beat and choked late, but they led majority of the game.

The Ironton spanking was a head scratcher. Ironton is very solid, but I thought Burg would compete better than that.

Let me clarify -- I don't think Burg is a top 8 in SEO team. Probably 15-20 range is fair. But I think they're a top 6 team in D3 and a team that all the higher seeds in D3 would prefer not to have on their side of the bracket.

Burg is in the mix. Ironton blistered the nets and one of Burg's leading scorers was/is in a slump, only had three points, averages over 10 a game.

They probably should of beat minford. Up late but couldn't hang on. They will be a difficult out.

The argument that Burg isn't better than Webster doesn't hold water. Burg beat Webster twice and Beat Eastern by 30. Burg did lose to Eastern early, but upsets happen in Basketball all the time. But not twice.

burg and valley and Webster are pretty equal amongst each other in the league.
