General Hoops rolled our tanks to Huntington and blasted the huntsmen. With an easy 24 pt win, as expected. Going to be a tough year for the Huntsmen!

The Tanks are primed and ready for Friday nights game against Piketon. I have scouted Piketon 3 Times and they are a tough matchup. However, I think our fearless leader, General Hoops will be one leg up on Coach Legg as he was on Kellough last Friday night, and the Tanks roll out of the little village with a 58 consecutive win streak! The Sherman’s continue to have Piketon’s number. Piketons guards will struggle with “the hammer” and Hill will do his thing against the undersized streaks inside. Unioto comes away at the top of the league and the gazette can cover the 58 game SVC win streak which should be the topic of conversation IMO.

Should be a fun night! Great first week of basketball!

However, I think a lot of Piketons scoring comes from their press and easy baskets(which by the way is very impressive as a team). I will hold my judgement until I see the results of the game but there is a reason Swackhammer had double digit division 2 full ride offers and multiple lower d1 teams on the radar. He's the best guard in this league and it's not close. Perdue is a great player but I want to see him do it in big time games before we suddenly declare him POY. I will say they are different types of players so its probably not fair to compare side by side but if I were starting a team I would go with Swackhammer.

Shoemaker trying to make everyone feel sorry for his boy? Complained all year last year how he got picked on by referees. Now media is calling out the Community? C’mon.

The gym will be filled twice when they play. It will be against the same school that always packs the gyms, not because "The Big Cat" is playing either. I know people were excited to get this writer back, but it has been awful writing since he returned from the second city.

Paint Valley won't even break into the top 3 this year.

Would you rather not have a local sports guy at all? Remember how bad the Gazette’s coverage was in the spring? I think Derek does a great job. Without him, a lot of our local athletes wouldn’t get the coverage they work hard for.

As for gazette, it’s biased reporting for all Ross County I think; we got are own reporter at the NewsWatch man. Jolie Billingsworth. She does a fine job. I listened to the sporttalk show for SVC and he didn’t know any Redstreak players hardly; he said tanner Perdue was tied for 5/6 pick on preseasonteam...good reporters will do their homework before writing or reporting; Tanner wasn’t new to the area...Mr Combes knew about him and reported fairly on Piketon. But it reddens my butt when all I see is about PV, ZT, and Unioto...it was the same last year...oh and my Redstreaks finished 2nd and lost by 4 and 8pts to Same type of reporting last year...no credit!

from what you’re saying, I’m guessing you’re JUST a basketball fan. The Chillicothe paper probably covered Piketon more than any other volleyball team this past fall, including Unioto and Southeastern. I believe they’re also covering Waverly now as well. SE’s football team was covered in detail all season long. So for you to say PV, ZT and the U are the only ones getting coverage, that’s just not true. Also, I can remember seeing Piketon’s entire tournament run covered last basketball season. Julie Billings reports for the Newswatchmen and reports on just Pike County. The Gazette has all of Ross as well.
