Re: Portsmouth Wests Ryan Sissel to Marshall

Glad to hear this! The Herd is getting one tough player. I first watched Sissel play in 7th grade and knew right away he had a nose for the ball and was going to be real good!

Re: Saturday,1/28/23 games and scores

Valley lost to another Div 4 team. No matter their record I have to think that is going to hurt in the seeding. WB is facing Div 2 Jackson as Minford did successfully earlier in the season. I also believe the OVC teams of Fairland and Southpoint also have some experience with playing up a division. ...

Re: Valley vs Minford 12/9

This is not a waste of time, I know parents in larger areas are jealous of what coverage we currently have. I agree more coverage would be good. I for one would strongly consider to paying for more complete coverage. Sadly what I see now, and I understand why, certain schools are covered more becaus...

Re: Valley vs Minford 12/9

I would love to have more local coverage. I have subscribed to the two local papers available to me for local sports for 30+ years, every year it gets harder to write the check with the shrinking coverage. I never read the college or pro sports or much national news as the coverage is out of date b...

Re: Valley vs Minford 12/9

The Indians take on their rival Minford Friday. After watching Valley, I was impressed by their big man in the paint. 17 boards and 7 blocks. Needs a little work on the offensive end (namely just realizing how big he is and quit falling away from the basket when he shoots) but overall he made a hug...

Re: Why doesn’t Valley host Playoff games?

I am curious. What revenue is a host school able to earn? I assume the schools can keep concessions and there was a time schools could charge parking if they have charged during the regular season as well. But are there any other streams that host sites and collect?

Re: Valley 22 - 28 Minford 2022

Valley didn't use their time outs at the end of the half. The Indians used one time out before getting the last possession but only after quite a bit of time ran off. I believe Valley took over the ball with around 2:30 left in the second, unless the scoreboard was wrong also. There was no apparent ...

Re: WK10 Rival Valley - Minford

Throw out the records! I believe Valley can score tonight but the game comes down to Valley stopping the Falcons strong running game. The young men of Valley have demonstrated improvement the last couple of weeks but face another stiff test should be a great matchup. Give my the Indians 28-21.

Re: WK10 Rival Valley - Minford

With a win Valley moves to a 12 seed a very good spot for the Indians. A loss they are likely a 15 seed and a very long road trip. Minford is predicted a 16th seed with a loss but moves up to a 15th seed with a win, either spot leaves the Falcons facing a very tough road game in the playoffs. This a...

I believe valley has a very low CB number. I doubt they have many players from Northwest.

Re: WK10 Rival Valley - Minford

This is awful quite considering how there are playoff implications. I believe both teams are still alive and the winner will really benefit in the seeding.

Throw the records out this week. This will be a very close intense game. With Valley's improved defense I give them the edge.

Re: How did Eastern beat Northwest?

How did Eastern beat Northwest? I listened to the coaches call in show today on the radio and Mr. Crabtree said his team worked all week "focused" on one Eastern player. Coach went on to say the focus of their work did not play in the game. Perhaps the scouting departmentat NW needs a bigg...

Re: Wheelersburg 35 - 14 Valley 2022

The fact remains the participation % is low at Valley. If Valley was going 10-0 they would have more players out, but would players that come out late in high school to just be on a winning team really help that much? The numbers are low throughout all grades. The good news is I read on another thre...

Re: WK9 Wheelersburg - Valley

I believe the Valley senior class had around 18-19 8th graders. They now have 12 seniors. I know a couple left the district and I think a few went soccer only. The Junior class I believe has always had low participation in football for some reason. It seems to me more boys come out for basketball th...
