Pretty hip and happening.
I’m going to go out on a limb and predict that The Indian and Beaver faithful thoroughly enjoy watching Piketon and Waverly play for 3rd.
Would love to see that happen.....TripleDouble wrote: ↑Sat Dec 29, 2018 9:59 am If Western wins tonight. I think Fitch would be the first coach to win the classic with 2 different schools. Idk the tournaments entire history, but thought it was a fun little stat.
EASTERN
Excellent rundown again smurray ! thanks for saving me all that typing LOL ... good game in the night cap for the Championship ... both Western and Eastern have fine teams - both well coached , each outstanding go to guys ... I totally enjoyed the Championship game as Lane Brewster almost brought Western all the way back with his 16 points in the 4th quarter ! ... Eastern has the temperament of Coach Barrick - I watched him throughout the game - he stayed calm throughout whether the Eagles were up 7-8 or whether Western had just drew within 2 with :14 to play - the same ... his TEAM didn't panic either , handled the pressure found the open cutters to the bucket ... a couple of HUGE rebounds by Miller in the last 5.2 seconds one at the defensive end and the other at the offensive end - Michael Miller is a PLAYER ... Leist/Miller/Weaver/Cochenour all solid players for EHS ... I thought Parker Clemons played an outstanding game for the Eagles tonight 6 points but played solid D and took care of the ball ... good game ! good to run into Cody Remmington's family (Waverly) ... Coach Huffer (Chillicothe head coach) , Coach S. Legg stopped up in the cheap seats for to talk some hoops as did Coach Kelley for Piketon ... Kollin Van Horn's (Fairland Big Man in the middle for 4 years- now graduated) dad stopped up to say high and let me know that Kollin and Branden Maughmer are both starting as freshmen for Cedarville University and doing well !!! always great to see the parents of players I have followed throughout their high school careers - and glad they feel comfortable enough to STILL stop by and say hello in the cheap seats ! ...smurray wrote: ↑Sat Dec 29, 2018 10:21 pm Eastern lead 8-7 after one
Eastern lead 20-17 at the break
Eastern lead 36-29 after three
Eastern built an 11 point lead at 49-38 with 4:20 to play but Western pulled back within 1 at 54-53 with .55 to play on a three from Humphrey.
Weaver made 1 -2 FT’s with .29 to go for a 55-53 Eastern lead.
Western called timeout with .14 with that same score to set up a play to tie or three ball to take the lead.
Brewster, who scored 16 of his game high 25 in that 4th quarter (willing his team back) penetrated the lane but his shot failed to go in with .05 to play.
Weaver was promptly fouled and made the first for a 56-53 Eastern lead, but missed the second. Easterns Miller came away with the rebound which sealed the Indians fate. Miller made one of two make it 57-53.

... I totally agree peake71 - such a good guy, I was totally surprised to see him at the Waverly tourney BUT it's always a pleasure talking to him and all of the other parents I have met over the years ... Mr. Van Horn sounded so proud of how Kollin is doing at the next level - great to hear that he is not only playing but starting and doing well - I believe he said that Cedarville is undefeated in their league ... they have played a number of Div 1 teams (ie the University of Akron) ... good stuff ...
