I would take Yates and Kretzer as the best two players in the league. Martin very good, I would still take yates over Martin with the game on the line. 1. Waverly (if Martin is healthy, heard he may have a foot fracture) 2. Wheelersburg (what can I say, its burg and they will be in it.) 3. South Web...

The SOC 1 has put out some good players in the past and have had some very good teams. But this league is not loaded either, as someone put it. I dont really see this league being very strong next year as a whole. Too many teams losing too much. I think clay should be pretty good returning a lot of ...

I think Valley will take some lumps next year. They have Yates, but really need to develop a second scorer. There are some other kids in next years junior class that could step up and fill the voids if they work at it this summer. Valley will not get much help from next year's senior or sophmore cla...

The schools receive the information for coaches dues at the beginning of the season. They have like 3 months to get it in. No excuses really. Now maybe the school never gave it to the coach I dont know. Still Peebles fault. Someone there messed. I am not one to punish the kids either, but it is a ru...

Not saying that I am a fan of the rule, however there has to be something in Place to make sure schools get there paperwork and district dues in in a timely manner. If not, schools would drag their feet every year. What is sad is that the coaches voted to make an exception to the rule this year and ...

I would say that the reason Justice and Seaman slipped to second and third team in the coaches poll was because some coaches were probably upset about what happened there. The Peebles coach did not get paperwork in on time and by rule the Peebles players should not have been able to be on a district...

Not sure where the line is, just know that they are not same district in voting. Peebles went to Waverly and Oak Hill went like to Jackson or Athens.

Ondera and Justice are not in the same district with voting, so they could both get player of the year in their district. I also heard that Peebles coaches did not get paperwork in on time. If that is true, then Justice will not be allowed to make an all state team because Peebles loses nominations....

SOC 2 is 8-3 with a win from South Webster last night. 5 of 8 teams playing at the Convo.

I have seen both players and I am not so sure that Yates is better than Justice. Justice is by far the better shooter, Yates has his upsides as well like rebounding. I would say that Justice is the better player at this point, but I think Yates has the most room to get better. He is very athletic an...

Does strength of schedule really matter, no. Sure, Valley played a little tougher schedule than Peebles but does it really matter. Portsmouth said the same thing about Valley and look what happened. Its tournament time, regular season doesnt mean anything anymore. All you have to do is put together ...

Peebles very talented and would have to be the favorites in this one. Valley, however, is a good team and will come to play. This game comes down to rebounding and second chance points. Valley's to big boys 6'4 and 6'5 will have to hit the boards and not allow Peeble second chance points. Justice, S...

All league games have to be made up. It doesnt matter if the game means anything or not. That is league policy and I think both schools would have to pay fines if it is not made up. It is not a matter of gate money for Oak HIll.

I think most everyone would agree that Portsmouth is the more talented team and they may play a little stronger schedule, but this is tournament time and Valley only has to put together one good game to beat Portsmouth. They have enough talent to do that. The reason Valley got seeded ahead of them i...

Actually, the final was 57-42. Not taking anything away from Burg, but would have been a much different game with Yates and Coleman. Valley was without 2 of their top 3 scorers and their ball handler Yates. Barrick took advantage of that and pressed which he would not have been able to do with Yates...

From the point guard position, how could you take Hall over Ondera, Yates, Scott or Bendolph. Hall is 5th pest PG at best. I mean seriously. Hall's downfall over the past years has been handling pressure. Most teams that play NW go into the game knowing that if you pressure their guards, they will t...

If you let Valley hang around you are flirting with disaster. Valley has 5 come from behind wins this year. In each of those games they were down by 10+ points heading into the 4th quarter. Valley will definately fight to the end. Portsmouth will have to play 4 quarters come Friday night.

Valley is 13-6.

Should be a very good game against 2 evenly matched teams. Valley must keep Scott out of the lane and not allow Loop to get in a rythm early. The same can be said for SW against Yates and Utley. SW must play better defense on Yates and not allow him to dribble through them at will like last game. So...

Oak Hill had a 3 quarter scare against Valley, Valley led all the way into the 4th. Oak Hill should win this game by 10 or so, but it is true that you never know against Burg. And I would hate to have to play Burg for a 3rd time in the sectional finals which is probably what will happen.
