Don't know the official shooting percentages, but it had to be our best game from the perimeter. The Panthers did make a run at the Trojans in the 4th quarter, but PHS finished strong. Kyre Allison and Kendal Reynolds continue to be a duo with a lot of scoring punch, as they tallied 29 and 20 points respectively.
I don't think the officiating was a factor in this game, rather, the Trojans, even without 1 starter (Daniel Jordan), simply outplayed the Panthers.

If Portsmouth shot it better last night than they did against Valley last Monday then that is flat out getting it done.
I need to look at the other games scheduled for next Tuesday night ... Definitely want to see Meigs in person... Talked to Coach Maddox last night - he said that Meigs is for real , said MHS is a good basketball team ... He had nothing but good things to say about what the Marauders do on the basketball court ... When Coach Maddox has high praises for a team I believe him LOL ... So , when I sit down this weekend and look at games next week I'll know more about where I'm going ...ma77ox wrote:Is Pfloyd gonna make it to Meigs/Vinton County Game?

South Webster plays their home games on a bigger floor than Portsmouth East (newer school = bigger floor) ... imo as has been my opinion so far - East has a decided advantage at home on the smaller floor - gives their big an opportunity to be MORE involved at BOTH ends of the floor ... when on the road, the bigger floors takes SOME of that advantage away , not as big of factor ... and when the Tartans play teams that are good teams , on a bigger floor - they are playing the good teams "even up" with less of an advantage in the paint ... when East plays teams that they are decidedly better than - the small floor big floor factor is there due East winning all of the other areas of the game - talent/quickness/one on one vs the opponent/ East's best vs opponents best , etc ... South Webster (good team) vs East (better team with a BIG factor) + bigger floor ( negates some of the BIG factor) = (in this case) South Webster "W" ...
... East has to go on the road to play Portsmouth Clay (bigger floor) and Eastern Pike (bigger floor) ... 2 big tests to my theory ... prior to those 2 road games on bigger floors the Tartans will have 5 home games on the smaller court ... home games for East on the smaller floor = ALL of Easts components are having to be contended with/accounted for by the opposition - advantage East ... on the road/bigger floors = the BIG factor is less of factor - don't get me wrong East IS a very good team, especially when ALL of the players & ALL of their weapons have be accounted for ... "any" team when you play defense or offense you try to take away "something" from your opponent/ "negate" something (i.e. perimeter play & scoring, inside game, penetration by guards etc) - you have to win somewhere in the small battles/matchups in order to beat a quality team and win the war with a W ... as an outsider looking in East has to prove itself on the "BIG" floor vs an equally good opponent - that is the ??? that sticks in my mind week to week when evaluating East ...
I'm not sure they can compete for the title as they've already lost too many SOC II games. However, I could see them upsetting a couple of the top tier teams to shake up the standings a bit. They only have 1 senior on the entire team, so next year they should definitely compete for the top spot. Their freshman is going to be a player.biggdowgg wrote:the jeeps are a better team then people think they will compete for the soc title "IMO"
Yep...Webster lost some tough games early on (Oak Hill/Wheelersburg) that will keep them out of the SOC II picture. Even before then, I didn't see them competing with Minford or Valley. But the games I had circled on the Jeeps' schedule this year were East and Clay. These games will tell me whether the Jeeps have a good chance to get back to the Convo or not regardless of their regular season record (I see them finishing around 11-11). So far so good, although they'll have a tough sectional to get through first in a loaded Northwest sectional.*bbjunky81 wrote:I'm not sure they can compete for the title as they've already lost too many SOC II games.

As I said earlier, the SOC 2 is the best I've seen in several years. Many teams will be very, very tough outs come tournament time.
thank you and you are correct I meant ro say next year ,esp since a couple of the big dogs will be losing some seniorsbbjunky81 wrote:I'm not sure they can compete for the title as they've already lost too many SOC II games.
