For Wheelersburg, if you want to go back far enough, to some of the winningest basketball teams for Wheelersburg that had players like Earl (Pug) Miller and Gene Bennett. I should look up the rest of the roster but they were not shabby with a 29-1 record in 44-45 and made the state tournament (16 teams) and I think almost 35 wins in 45-46.

Waverly upset undefeated Dresden Tri Valley in the regional semifinal 48-45. I don't know if there's a connection to this or not, but Upper Arlington just recently had a player who I believe graduated last year whose name is Onno Steger. Maybe father/son?

I thought EDSpy was going to post Fort Frye's 5, but I don't see it. This

Jack Clark played basketball for Maryland in the 60's.
Tyler Engle set the state record for career three-pointers and played baseball at Ohio State.
Clint Hayes averaged 30+ per game for 2 years and had a nice career at Cedarville.
Eric Henniger was the best all around player on our 1999 Final Four team and is the current coach.
Brandon Skinner was the best player on our #2 state ranked team that lost to #1Garaway in the district tournament.

There were several guys who could be plugged into those final spots, but that was our 5.

River Valley: Joey James and then after that it's hard to put together a list.

I would follow Joey with Tyler Twyman. Tyler was the 2nd 1,000 point scorer in RV history behind James. He is currently playing College Basketball for Davis & Elkins College in WV.

Aaron Sullivan would have to be on my list as well. One of the best PG's in RV history. His ball skills were unbelievable.

A couple other names to mention.....Greg James (Joey's older brother), Chris Crace, Doug Lloyd, Bruce Ward

I don't think anyone has mentioned anyone from Valley yet, so ill take a stab at it. Not a top 5 list, but just top players that come to mind over the years...

Mark and Harold Merritt played at William Carey in Mississippi maybe?
Craig Gilliland I believe was all time scorer until Blake Yates passed him a few years ago
Keith Hickman played Rugby at The Ohio State University
Chris Clark played college ball somewhere in Mississippi I think? until a car wreck cut his career short
pretty sure Gilliland, Hickman, and Clark, maybe even Alley all played together
Brian Baer played football at Urbana
Alan Alley played at Shawnee
Matt Nourse all time free throw percentage, his brother in law came close to beating is, but I don't think he did.
Chris Lundy had scholarship to West Virginia State for baseball, just overall athlete
Nolan Crabtree undersized big man, played baseball and IUPUI and Shawnee
some recent players Blake yates all time leading scorer, played at Shawnee
Brian Rolfe plays at Shawnee

Im sure I missed a few names, but these are the ones that come to my mind. Maybe Crab's brother can help some...

Waverly also beat the Burg in the Distrcts at Athens in 1980. The game was officiated by two men, one being the former OHSAA commisioneer Dan Ross and that was by far the worst officiated game I've ever watched. I believe Waverly scored 60 points in that game with 44 of them coming from the free throw line. Dan the man made most of the calls against Burg that game and literally fouled out the whole starting five plus two bench players. I think Burg finished the game with just 5 players left.

I don't know what his high school career was like, but Dan Hughes from Fort Frye just coached The WNBA Champion Seattle Storm to their league title. That has to rank somewhere.

Portsmouth West. We are not rich in basketball history and we haven't been to the Convo since 1998 but here are some names that pop into my head. As you can tell by the list I am a little young. Lol

Shea Lauder '07
Asa Jewett '98
Matt Jones '03
Michael Davis '15
Kelly Shy '74ish?
Chris Hamilton and Boyce Jordan from the '85 team. Even though I wasn't alive it is probably the best basketball team the West Side has ever had.

Like Warrior Blue said, very rare for any freshman at Warren to play varsity at all because of talent level at school and the competition that Warren faces in Division II every year. Of note is that there are a few players for sure that were very near 1000 points, but fell just short. I don't know the exact numbers but I believe three other Warrior players were over the 950 career mark: Austin Cunningham, Kyler Dennis, and Curt Morris

There may be others that were close, but those are three that I know of. Josh Huffman from this year's team is probably at around 900 career points.

I was not aware that only 2 previous Warriors were members of the 1000 point club. I guess that is an exclusive list for sure.
Another name to add from WarriorNation would be Phil Mayle. In 1980 he was around 600 points for the season. I’m guessing he was a player that got very close to that 1000 Point Club.

Jeep/pirate wrote: Fri Feb 16, 2018 9:38 pm Went to both SW and The burg and seen a lot of great talents from both schools. I’m not going by stats because that doesn’t tell the story for some of these talents.

South Webster
1. Aldridge - big physical kid who could do it all, run pass shoot and rebound to sum it all up he’s about as good of a power forward this area has ever seen. State Champ, D1 player, Played professionally
2. Roberts 6’8 jump shooter played d1, drafted in the nba draft but chose the wrong sport
3.Justin Lower quick, lights out shooting and relentless Scoring machine, had little to no talent to work with played naia and should’ve stayed with the game longer
4.)Josh Campbell - crazy good defender, strong, fast, lights out shooting and probably one of the better players in the area after school, state champ, played naia
5. Austin Loop let’s start with smart,long, lights out shooter, district champ ,strong ,played 4 seasons at Marshall and had the most success of any on my list

Burg
1.) Andrew Burleson Big, Strong ran like a deer and was a athlete first, let’s just say a athletic freak,multiple district titles, played d1 could of definitely went over seas
2.) Drew Spradlin super basketball smart long, strong and a lights out shooter, 4 year starter, multiple final fours played d1 ,
3.) Cam Miller super long and lanky ball skills, lights out shooter played d1 an naia played over seas multiple final fours
4.) John Eaton was only told of how good he was not sure on his statistics or achievements
5.) Seth Cowgill super athletic, fast , probably the most talent as far as basketball as any on burgs top5 played with 2 on the list so his stats was probably not as good as some of these guys, lights out shooter, crazy wing on ball defender, multiple final fours,
Who is Campbell??

He was the red headed kid. He played from 03 - 07, graduated a year after they won state, was a 3-4 year starter, single handily carried them to the regional finals the year after state, and was a few turnovers away from going back to the final four. The kid was a stud in school but after school he blew up similar to Kyle Miller of Piketon who should be #1 on Piketons list.
Funny how our memories work. South Webster won a District Championship in 07 but lost in the Regional Semis

They were a few turnovers and a game away from the Final 4.

Western made the Elite 8 that year though and was 1 or 2 points away from the Final 4.


The fact you left Todd Staker and Paul Newman and Brad Walke off of your list for Wheelersburg might bother me more though. Todd did take Wheelersburg to the State Finals in AA and almost took out Jerome Lane and Akron St. V St M in the Finals. His sophomore year his tip in at the buzzer vs Ironton at the Sectional in Portsmouth saved another great Pirate team along the way to their first final 4 appearance. Newman had 42 in the Regional Final vs Martins Ferry and went to Marquette.

Staker started his freshman year at Miami Ohio and played with a guy named Ron Harper. Maryland beat them by 1 in the NCAA tourney in 85.

Somebody from burgs list has to come out because Holden goes straight to the top in front of burleson. Holden is currently the best player to ever lace them up for the burg.

Doug Birchfield.6'8 Nice player..Rio Grande I believe...Would also have to mention Damien Pringle..all state tournament team..tough cookie.Also Mick Kitts from years back.

It's hard to say how many more points Snead and Kitchen would have had if there was a 3 pt line when they played. They were hitting 3's without getting extra points.
You have scoring totals for Snead and Birchfield?
