2018 Pfloyd's Elite 8 of Southern/SouthEast Ohio - Final Edition

[bobcat2015]

From the SHAC, I would say the Green Devil's of North Adams will be at the top along with Ripley. North Adams has several back along with A bunch of reserves that went undefeated from what I have heard. Ripley has some of their better players back for next year. Peebles has no Junior this year so they will be playing alot of youngsters.

Don't forget the Eastern Warriors. The league in general should be competitive again. There's a lot of young talent coming up in schools too. Should be another fun year!

This ought to make the Belpre/Miller tourney game at Meigs 2/27 about an even game!

Thank you for the corrections !

Belpre/Miller game maybe should have been even, but wasn't! Both Belpre girls and boys both got clobbered in the tourney by teams they had beaten twice during the season.

... it has always been a difficult thing to beat an opponent 3 times - ALWAYS ... hard to get those W's from the first 2 times outta the players heads then throw in that obviously what the opponent did the first 2 times didn't work so THEY are still making adjustments while the winner of the 2 games? not so much ... tough to get that 3rd win imo ...

LOL ... best of luck to BOTH teams tonight ... as usual there will be rundowns on both D@ Semi's after the games - Basketball 30 night #2 , Gms #3 & #4 !!! 12 gms in 4 days !!! ...

How bout them Waverly Tigers!!!
Can’t wait for your napkin stats.

I can see Piketon in the elite 8 next season. Yes losing a player like Perdue will hurt the Redstreaks but I don’t think it will hurt like everyone thinks. Piketon will still be returning a lot of guys (Lightle, Blanton, Thacker, Little, Mathews) and I also see a lot of younger guys contributing. I wouldn’t sleep on Piketon next year

Piketon will be .500 next year at best.

Don’t be hating on my Redstreaks. Been around the program for almost 50 years now. Seen a lot of Redstreaks basketball over the years, this team will NOT be bad

They wont be good next year below 500 team all give you odds and lay 1k on it anytime you want. Will be the 4th best team in Pike County well as long as the Christian academy doesnt bring in a ringer thenn they will be 5th best.

State championship or nothing next year!

Piketon seems to always put a decent to good team on the floor

Piketon will be fine next year. We obviously lose a lot and some kids will have to get better this offseason. A lot of it will have to do with what style we play. May have to slow it down a bit next year. Still some good players returning and a JV team who went 18-2 this year.

[ronm001]

If they get new coaches and a new style and work on shooting they can contend for mid pack SVC. If they play same style same coaches will be below 500. They have nobody who can score enough consistently at this point.

[pfloyd]

... Alex Blanton , Preston Thacker, Scott Lightle, Isaac Little, Blake Reader, Tyrae Harris, Jacob Mathews ALL return for Piketon next year ... 3 starters, with Little getting more than enough PT to be considered a starter - 4 starters returning to the Red Streaks lineup ... Tanner Perdue does not get replaced - BY ANY team in the SVC ... he's one of THOSE elite players - end of story ... BUT as is the case EVERY single year - the best of the best graduate , WE always ask "Who will step up ? " with programs such as Piketon there will be multiple players "stepping up" ... PHS has talent from the JV & freshmen teams - size, scorers, ball handlers - I've seen them ! I was impressed by THEM when I saw them ! ... Coach Legg x 2 , Coach Kelly & Co. will be just fine in my opinion ... they will ranked in the preseason accordingly ... Pike County with Piketon, Eastern Pike, Waverly STILL in the mix in the "one & done" season - good stuff right there !!! next year ? look for more of the same ! at least from Piketon/Eastern Pike ... if anyone is losing BIG it's Waverly losing - Howell,Remington/Adrain - 3 OUTSTANDING players at both ends of the floor ... BUT I trust Coach Robertson to get THAT job done as well ! ...

While you’re busy bashing my streaks. We’ll be preparing for a district championship game!

[ronm001]

We can all revist this thread next winter and see who is correct. I hope Iam dead wrong. Im just a realist and been on all sides as an all league player fan and coach for over 40 years.

[Ironman92]

I was District coach of the year and I’d not go where you have went.

I’m a 5’10 blonde with huge boobs, a skinny waste line and legs that go all the way to my neck. Also starred in several movies in Hollywood. Just a few of my credentials.

I know bashing kids and players is your specialty but at least have the decency to wait for the season to be over. Coach
