Re: 2013 Bannon Park Basketball Classic

I would strongly advise every High Sch...

Re: 1/22 - Portsmouth 52 Ironton 86

Looks like this year may be Irontons year,Trojans have had their number under coach Collins,but Laphonze has the horses this year.Good luck to the Tigers,from this old Trojan,like we say here in Trojan land if we cant do it let Chilly, or Ironton do it.

Re: Portsmouth vs Chesapeake Regional semifinal

Here we go again,keep talking about chesapeake being better than Portsmouth at what position,Portsmouth has the best two players on the floor and I would take our bench over theirs. Sky Oliver is not ready until Collins says he's ready which is the same thing his grandfather is telling him,his time ...

Re: District Final 3/10: Lucasville Valley vs. Portsmouth

Valley has a good team,played hard but the key to this game imo was coach Eugene Collins.The way he handles his players is awesome,he reminds me of Tom Izzo,you can tell he has had 20 years of colledge coaching experience. He never panics and it rubs off on his team,even when Portsmouth didn't bring...

Re: Dime's Pre-Season FAB FIVE

As far as taking Collins over Barrick or Persin yes I would,he's young,refreshing,enthustiastic,not knocking the other two,they may have experience on the high school level but I like what Collins brings to the table,he is a players coach who has proven he can take a good team who buys into his phil...

Re: Dime's Pre-Season FAB FIVE

Re: Fairland

They won 15 games last year. I think they will be better than last year plus when they played Portsmouth they didn't have their starting point guard so they had to play a freshman. And Wayne Evans is probaly one of the best on ball defenders in the area. They did have their starting point guard las...

Re: Dime's Pre-Season FAB FIVE

I understand your argument but now hear me out! In Coach Collins 1st year i think they were (12-6) Yes they did upset Chesapeake but then i look at some of their losses and thats when i question. Lost to an ok team in South Point by 23, Lost to Ironton 2 out of three times and remember Ironton was ...

Re: Dime's Pre-Season FAB FIVE

torjandave, Well said. I have no problem with agreeing to disagree. I am a big fan of two of your players, so I hope for their sake I am wrong. If I am a few years down the road I will have no problem saying I was wrong. You were wrong most of the time last year and then went and hid when Portsmout...

Re: Top Seniors in the area 2011-2012

That is 21 years I thougt I said 20,hind sight Grant would be better because of what he has achieved,but at the high school level I couldnt say,didnt see Grant. London can pick ACC,Big Ten,Big East,and a host of other conferences,however good argument.

Raw please explain that to me in your next post Tribe.This guy (London) is simply a game changer he does not have to score 20pts a game to be a force,high per centage shots which I consider to be in the paint drop drastically against the Cavs,its called intemidation,ask colledge scouts around the co...
