I didn't understand why people thought VC was a better matchup for eastmoor than fu, but thought maybe I was wrong. Great season Vc!

[peake71]

Eastmoor is a very good team. Good run for Vinton County.

[Skiisme]

Eastmoor has a great team. And we did match up better than FU did Falcon. You guys had a 6'5 and we had 6'8 and 6'5 to sub in. And we will have he same next year. Proud of what the Vikings accomplished this year. Now we have to wait 9 more months for the season to begin again!! Congrats to Eastmoor and good luck the rest of the way!!

Eastmoor vs Last Years John Glenn team would have been interesting.

As an outsider I thought neither FU nor VC matched up well. Eastmoor --- They were the real deal.

Looking back you wish after Desales jumped into the bottom half of the District (South went on first and went into top half). that Eastmoor would have been swayed to go into the district which Bloom Carroll ended up winning. But they knew they could beat Desales and South and the reward was playing in the Convo vs playing at Kettering vs Dayton Dunbar.

I truly wish the SE would go to that system. It keeps coaches from colluding pre draw and orchestrating the path to the District or Regionals. The NCAA system is fair but only if the teams are seeded correctly. If a coach felt he was seeded unfairly he could choose to go on the board perhaps against the team who organized the collusion.

Neither of VC big men are even close to FU's let's get that straight right now. However I do think VC has some elite guards, so I thought they may be able to hang a little more than they did.
