Awesome time last night with the Montserrat team. Great open gym, fellowship, and sharing...and the food was awesome as well. Thanks to Dave Shoemaker and Josh Anderson for making it happen and to all of the Piketon Redstreaks Coaches, Parents, and fans for your generous contribution.

Dave, I thought it was Walt, he was quite a player, he could jump, and shoot with both hands with tremendous accuracy. We had some great battles at Bannon Park when I was in High School. I love the History of Trojan basketball, there's a lot of interesting things outside of the 4 State Championships...

Jeff, Thanks for the info,,,remember all so well that season. The strange part of it was the 3 losses, all were not close,,,except maybe the Garfield game,,Middletown beat us pretty good but we buried them by 16 in our return match,,the Garfield games were both under 10 points and tuff to the end.....

Coach,

I would like to put Piketon in the Shootout; please contact AD Jason Taylor @ 740-289-2254.

Dave,

We are looking forward to this! Thanks for thinking of us, the Montserrat kids will get some real nice gifts as well as the dinner. I'm dusting off my "Original Chuck Taylor's" so I can play a couple of games...I mean a couple of trips up and down the floor...LOL!

50th anniversary for that state championship team. Thats great and the town should celebrate it again. Agreed...My Dad use to tell me about this team and I did a lot of research and found out how awesome they were, my pick as the All-Time greatest. I hope they will be recognized this season...and i...

Actually I've been playing at the YMCA....I'm good for two games....then that age factor kicks in...lol

Jimmy, we start open gym the week of September 13th.

Chef, he is due here on August 18th.

Jimmy, you're killing me!!! Don't post hearsay....wait until fall open gym and I will give you a full report...LOL....

Chef, The biggest thing I see is maturity...I feel the lack of maturity last year cost us some close games. The kids are becoming students of the game and beginning to understand game strategy and the importance of team chemistry. I love how we "stay in the battle" and not give up, even at...
