Re: Wheelersburg 2023

Anyway, Wheelersburg will have a very formidable unit this year and I expect Ironton to be right in the thick of it despite the graduation losses. D-V, R19 title is up for grabs, there really isn't a clear favorite. To me, biggest difference in who wins the region will be quarterback play and how i...

Re: Portsmouth West

West will have a good unit this year again. The line and front seven should still be solid. As long as Kade Woods and Cole Windsor are playing, the trenches should be a strength for West on both sides of the ball.

Re: Tanner on the move again, Marshall???

Would love to see him back at Marshall. He will be the best player on the floor for them from Day 1 if he transfers there, plus his family's roots there are deep. It would be amazing for all involved.

Re: Soccer vs. Football

I don't understand the insatiable need by people to justify whether one sport is better than the other or not, or to downgrade one sport by saying one isn't as good as the other. It's one of the things about today's society that can be overblown at times. Just appreciate and respect the sports for t...

Re: South Webster - Head Coach

It depends on what South Webster wants. If they are looking for wins in the short term (which is probably their thinking), Coach Persin will probably be the choice. However, if SW goes with the long game and wants a guy that is there for a long while, I'd bring in Connor Scott. He's an alum of the p...

Re: Northwest - Alex Baer signs with Georgetown College

Alex and his family are first class people. Think the world of them! Same with Kory Butler, who signed with Kentucky Christian the same day as Alex. A lot of really good people at Northwest for sure!

Re: Wheelersburg 2023

Just curious, who’s #21 on the Pirates team? That's Landon Hutchinson. He's a throwback Wheelersburg football player. Great one-on-one open field tackler and a good leader that can play anywhere in that back seven. With a big senior year he could definitely get some looks to play at the next level ...

Re: Portsmouth West SOC Champs

They do an excellent job. They have five players who could start for anybody and two others who could start for most teams in each of the three states that make up the Tri-State Area, and yes, the eighth-grade group is loaded. They will be good again next year even with the graduation losses.

Re: Valley vs Minford 12/9

This is not a waste of time, I know parents in larger areas are jealous of what coverage we currently have. I agree more coverage would be good. I for one would strongly consider to paying for more complete coverage. Sadly what I see now, and I understand why, certain schools are covered more becau...

I would love to have more local coverage. I have subscribed to the two local papers available to me for local sports for 30+ years, every year it gets harder to write the check with the shrinking coverage. I never read the college or pro sports or much national news as the coverage is out of date b...

Re: Valley vs Minford 12/9

Going to basketball and football games and writing a few columns is part time compared to what I do for a living. Even if it was 40 hours a week 1. Like I said, not just basketball and football games that we cover. 2. Like I said, it's not just writing stories. That's the primary part of the job bu...

In addition to what they do, I would like to see a blend of what Shayne Combs does with the SVC and what the guys do with the Pickaway County Hoops report. They do player spotligh...

Sign me up for that $40k part time job It's not part time if you're covering all 12 high schools. Last time I checked, each team (outside of football) plays three games a week on average (two conference and one nonconference), plus there's the travel to and from the games.

Re: Valley vs Minford 12/9

The Indians take on their rival Minford Friday. After watching Valley, I was impressed by their big man in the paint. 17 boards and 7 blocks. Needs a little work on the offensive end (namely just realizing how big he is and quit falling away from the basket when he shoots) but overall he made a hug...

Re: Ironton needs out of OVC (in football)

It's all about limiting outside noise in my opinion. The 2017 Wheelersburg squad was incredible for our area but that group did such an outstanding job of blocking out the noise and keeping the focus on the next opponent in line. It was a special team talent-wise, but the mentality was also special ...
