Re: D-II Convo Final - New Lex vs. Warren

It was a tremendous game to watch. New Lexington’s coach was impressive….the Panthers have a bright future. I was impressed with their guard play and #0 played very physical. Warren’s Big Two (Stadleman & Taylor) and a few timely buckets by their role players proved the difference. Good win for ...

Re: D-II Convo Final - New Lex vs. Warren

I believe it’s Warren’s game to lose. However, composure is going to be key in this game. Stadleman might be challenged from a physical standpoint from the way New Lexington plays. If I were Stadleman, I’d make sure to show people that he can handle the physicality (mentally and physically).

Re: 3/4 Marietta v New Lexington

Strength of schedule matters a great deal the further a team advances in the tournament. It also matters what kind of teams you face throughout the year….athletic, methodical, physical, skilled, fast-paced, etc. It helps the coaches prepare for the “real season.” Also, it gives the kids quality expe...

Re: 3/4 Marietta v New Lexington

From a Washington County basketball fan’s perspective, I truly believe both Warren and Marietta did what they could to prepare for the tournament. During the regular season each team had its weak opponents and tough opponents. I did notice something though, I felt like Marietta wasn’t as sharp towar...

Re: 3/4 Warren v Logan Elm or Unioto

It sounds like Warren really put it to Logan Elm. Warren is really peaking at the right time. It should be a good game this Saturday @ 2:00 @ The Convo.

Re: 3/4 Warren v Logan Elm or Unioto

I’m taking Warren by 15. If Warren plays like they have been playing lately then they will be a tough team to beat. Junior PG Julian Stadleman is a stud that pumps in nearly 20 ppg. Senior C Trent Taylor is a 1000 point scorer and is playing inspired basketball. Then you have one or two other kids t...

Re: 3/4 Marietta v New Lexington

I’m going with Marietta in this one. It’s difficult for me to imagine that New Lexington matches up well with Marietta. The Tigers are just so athletic with ZWittekind, Kelley, and Knighten. Then you gotta deal with the front runner to win the D2 SE District POY, Alex Kendall. If you get Kendall at ...

Re: OHSAA Hopes To Return To The Fairgrounds Coliseum for State Basketball Tournament In 2025

I hope they are talking about just the central district tournament (district and regional). It’s clearly not an appropriate place to watch a Final Four game in this day and age. Move it to The Schott, St John, Xavier, Cincy, Wright State, Cleveland St, Akron, or Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse.

Re: Vinton County Wants Warren

I’d like to see Warren in the TVC. I think it would be good for Vinton County. Not sure of the truth but I’ve heard Vinton has voted against Warren from re-joining the TVC in the past. If it’s true, why?

Re: Warren 57 Marietta 53 a final

I’m hoping theres a round three as well. I’m glad both teams split in the regular season. As the old adage goes, it’s hard to beat a team three times in the same season. I’m looking for Warren’s Trent Taylor to keep playing inspired ball. Warren needs him to be an aggressive offensive threat. Mariet...

Re: Twin State League Boys Hoops

Stadleman is a top 3 player. Kendall had a subpar game tonight but I’d say he’s still at the top….6’8” and signed with a top level NCAA D2 program. Stadleman isn’t a D2 caliber player. If he’s wishing to be, he has a lot of work to do in many areas, including getting stronger and better decision mak...

Helluva high school atmosphere and props to both teams for competing their butts off…..SE Ohio baske...

Re: Twin State League Boys Hoops

As far as the Warren vs Marietta game is concerned, I’ll give Warren the advantage in this one bc it’s on “Coach Maddox Court.” However, I would not be surprised if Marietta goes in and gets the W, they are that good. Warren needs to speed the game up and keep Marietta on their toes. Stadleman needs...

Re: Best Father-Son coaching Combo in SEO

I would have to say you are right, but mostly by default. When you combine all the wins in volleyball, softball, and basketball. There’s not many father son coaching duos in SE Ohio (least populated part of the state). They are the best.

Re: Warren's Mark Duckworth Wins 400th Game

Ask most of his former/current players on what they think of him and I’d imagine they would have positive things to say. Congratulations, Duck! Well deserved.
