Great tournament as usual, Jeff, and the competition was intense as it always is. There were a lot of individuals who showed outstanding basketball skill, but Dion McKinley certainly did stand above the rest and his MVP award was well deserved. The Trojans, without Kyre Allison (not injured), showe...

I would like to see that group participate in the Bannon Park Classic this summer.

Open to both....it's all about the competition and fun! Last year we had 3 travel teams.

The kids can still play if they choose to. In the past some teams had a dad or non-coach supporter coach them.

jimmy, you are correct. I will be at Northridge or I won't be coaching at all next season.

Chilli Blue,

I did hear from Chillicothe, so that is a possibility. Parkersburg South WVA also requested information. I will keep everyone posted as we get closer to Summer.

Thanks to all. I appreciate that....I was certainly blessed with an outstanding group of kids.

With the current emails and phone calls...if I get enough interest we will have a Girls Division as well. Stay tuned!

The date is set for the 36th Annual Bannon Park Classic in Portsmouth, Ohio. July 3rd-5th, 2015.

The adult bracket kicks...

Congrats to my friend Coach Matt Hoops and the Unioto Shermans. Wow! what a season, I'm sure the Unioto faithful is proud of everything that was accomplished this season. I'm sure they will re-load next season!

Thanks to everyone who followed us and all of the well wishes and congrats. I had a great group of kids, we will return 3 starters (top 3 scorers) with 6'5 Drew Ogletree who was player of the year in the conference and top Underclassmen in the District, my guess he will be All-Ohio as well. At one p...

Proud of my Portsmouth Trojans, another great season! Thanks to Coach Collins and the kids for making us former Trojans proud. Keep the tradition alive!

Did he tell you that? :122245 I will look it up, I know he had the tournament record for scoring 38 in a game.

Thanks Jimmy! I miss you guys....I'm always looking for Piketon and Portsmouth scores.

Congrats Geno! I remember our conversation when you took over the program. "Return to Glory" Thanks for what you have done for the program. I wish you continued success.
