Thank you for the reads SEO - pfloyd

The regular season is in the books, my "job" is done ... not really a job as I totally enjoy pushing out where I see the 71 teams across the SouthEast District compared to one another regardless of division ... it's been a great season! the D4 teams have been a BIG part of the Best of the Best ! ... the usual cast of characters Logan Elm, Warren, Fairfield Union, Fairland, Eastern Brown among others had question marks beside their names in the November/December portion of the season due to losing either all or 3-4 starters off of great teams from last season ... BUT as I always look at the Head coaches when doing rankings - the Stiverson's, Maddox's, Speeds, Davis's, Beucler's - these are coaches that just never seem to have a down or mediocre season due to what is perceived to be "lack of talent" ... the "systems" are in place , the consistent coaching through the ranks is there ... these teams have all worked their way to the upper echelon of the SE District yet again ... after last years' Covid Season where I only had eyes on 2 games in the post season due to the protocols, my goal for my own sanity was to "get back out there!, see as many games as I can!, reconnect with the coaches, fans, players families, players, seop's posters! I think I was successful ...I made it a point to get to the "in-season" classics ... Zane Trace Tip Off Classic, Ironton Classic, Alexander's Spartan's Alley Classic, Waverly's Classic, North Adam's Coach Young Classic ... ALL of these get togethers were outstanding!!! the folks at each venue were more than nice and put on excellent events... I'm looking forward to going back to ALL of them next year - as I've said , there is nothing better than going to 1 venue to see 5-6 games with outstanding matchups ... I encourage all of us to get out to these events in your own local area, support the schools, teams, and players ... I get it , I'm a different animal - I go to them all - BUT you can support those that are in your area ...

... I just want to thank those who have followed the Elite 8 again! it's a lot of work to do and I TRY to get it right! that's why I do what I do - I try to make it "legitimate" if that's the right word, I try to make sure the rankings are done by having "knowledge" of the teams, having "eyes on" so that good comparisons can be made as opposed to just looking at a game score ... I have been accused of being "racist" on here last season ... this year, I was told I was a "b#tch" for the coaches, or anyone who would shake my hand ... not sure how either of those were equated to what I do based on what I post but so be it ... folks the "pay isn't good" for what I do LOL ... I do it because I DO enjoy the games, I DO enjoy the people, I DO enjoy "getting it right" or the CHALLENGE of getting it right - I'm a perfectionist at heart, I don't do ANYTHING half way, I do EVERYTHING to be the BEST at it ... that's me ... I DO try to be as positive for ALL officials , teams, players, coaches from #1 to #71 as I can be ... again that's MY take as to what THIS site should be about - promoting the sport of high school basketball ...

... Thank you all for reading the rankings, and my game rundowns ... I get a lot of positive feedback from coaches all over the SE District about what I do ... some of the best feedback though is from past players who have moved on to be adults ... I look forward to seeing these "kids" - an example is Heath Unger , past player for Eastern Brown, now an assistant coach at EB, an elementary teacher ... I run into Heath off an on in my travels - not often, most times it's been at the Convo in the post season, he will ALWAYS find me in my Cheap Seat location ... we talk basketball, life, now education ... have seen Heath a couple times this season! - when HE tells me he still reads my "stuff", and appreciates what I do for SEO hoops THAT means something - friends for life coming out of the love of basketball ... thank you...

The absolute best place to find unbiased and informative information for SEO basketball. A little bantering, SW ranked too low in final polling, but the weeking polling is as good as it gets.
