Piketon wins this game easily. Don’t count the Redstreaks out

D3 district Semis only have 1 game on Saturday that match the expected 2 seeds.

The Waverly Sectional and it’s lack of strength at the top have caused some different matchups.

1 vs 4 and 2 vs 6 in the top District.

1 vs 5 and 3 vs 10 in the bottom district.

The SOC2 are favorites in my mind to move 2 teams to the Regionals. However Oak Hill had a similar road last year and couldn’t navigate it.

The D2 district semis have seen Chalk totally dominate.

1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3 in Both Districts.

Of the 4 Sectional Sites —- 3 of them saw Chalk reign with The Top 4 seeds advancing.

Waverly was the outlier with 1 and 6 coupled with 5 and 10 moving on.

Woodside is either 6'5 or 6'6 and extremely strong. Harrah is closer to 6'7 I believe. Play together and both are very solid post players.

93bulldog ... I look at the Gallia Academy matchup with Fairfield Union - GA has not made an appearance at the Convo since 2008 when they lost to Greenfield McClain - with McClain moving on to eventually play that epic final vs Vinton County losing to the Vikings 55-56 ... good stuff ... this go around for Gallia Academy will be without one of GA's biggest fans from back in the day - GAHSforver - Steve Ebert (passed away in 2012) ... GAHS would have been blasting me for having Gallia Academy at #8 ! finally moving up in this final week of the Elite 8 LOL ... one of the Gallia Academy faithful who would have been beaming with GA's season this year along with Odie and jottings ...

... Basketball 30 - good times ... good people ... GREAT BASKETBALL !!!

Solid competition, but did they win any of those besides Athens once?

Piketon has won 9 straight and had wins at Paint Valley (20+), at Peebles, SE twice (30+ at SE), West Union , Zane Trace and also Ports West looked legit the two games at Waverly sectional

Piketons losses are 2X unioto, Paint valley, At Zane Trace, and Eastern Pike. Those teams are still dancing except ZT and that loss was in OT

Piketon has the best player and I recall a 40 point performance in district title from him as a soph at Western. I think Perdue leads the Redstreaks to a win in this one.

No one is going to be surprised if Piketon wins

We agree here at the meadow dome on the hill. Purdue bye far the best player that will be on the floor. Fb the young man and give an invite to come to the meadow dome and run a few under the lights as soon as spring gets here. Sometimes at night when the local police and sheriffs department are on the grounds the red and lue flashing lights make it seem like a real life CAVS game. I’m hoping he’ll swing bye but definitely gonna be the best player on the convo floor on that day. Would love to go but the ole ankle monitor just won’t allow it!!
Go Streaks!!

Noitall: Portsmouth was not a "bad" team, and I take offense to what you said. They went 16-8. I am not going to let you get away with that comment about my Trojans. Our kids lost in the sectional to a pretty darn good Lynchburg Clay team that has an outstanding player in Eric McLaughlin. I guess it's easy to trash the Trojans because they lost in the sectional, but I can tell you this for a fact, everybody in the SE district lines up behind Portsmouth in the record book, and in this decade, we still have the best tournament resume of anybody in the SE district. We just can't put out a championship team every year.......but we've put more of them out than anybody else.

Open up a district tournament program and see for yourself!! We have more sectional, district, regional, and state championships than anybody else in the SE district!!
