My secret source for information says that the Streaks will have to play a very good game to beat ironton. He says that Ironton is very quick, and could cause Piketon problems in transition. I hope that the Streaks will try to go inside more often early than they have the past few games. Will be a v...

Until they lose, Westfall has to be considered as the favorite. With their scores from last year, I'm sure many of the backups gained valuable varsity time. Being from the southern end of the conference, I'm pulling for the Streaks. They replace about 5 or so starters from last year, so hopefully th...

The only way to upgrade the schedule is to only schedule non-league games a year or two in advance. It would be potential suicide to schedule three or four BCS teams as non-league each year, unless you can get teams on a down year, which doesn't help. As I recall, none of the other conferences sched...

Piketon @ Zane Trace

The Red Streaks started the second round of SVC play with a solid 64-38 win over Unioto. Next are the Pioneers, whom the Streaks defeated by 5 earlier in the season. The Pioneers, I believe, are on a roll, and last week knocked off previously undefeated Huntington. I expect a tough, physical battle,...

Let people scream and complain all they want about the system that's in place. It's what we have. If the AP wants to name USC as National Champion, let them. Until the NCAA and college presidents get their collective heads out of their collective butts, a true National Champion will never be had. If...

I don't know much about Adena, except that they are good. They have a go-to player in Roll, and a big guy in the middle in Houserman. Expect them to be quick and to play pressure defense. I like that the Streaks are at home. Now, hopefully the home crowd will get and stay behind them the entire game...

Well, I got my wish. Streaks lead 50-9 at half, win 83-44. Liked the pressure D as well as spreading the offense around. The effort toward rebounding was good too. Paint Valley is clearly down compared to the other teams I've seen this year. Going through what I've seen Piketon experience in the pas...

I don't know much about any of the county schools but Piketon, but, based on the season so far, I like Western and Piketon to meet in the final, with the Streaks bringing home the trophy.

The problems with the Bengals start at the top, the owner. Mike Brown wants a winner, but not if it affects the bottom line. He is a great business owner; he got a gem of a stadium at no cost to himself, plus he reaps most of the financial windfall from it. The value of the team continues to increas...

In several different sites, people who are upset that Rodriguez left WVU have talked about loyalty, and not deceiving the school and the players about his intentions. Until the NCAA steps in and does something about coaches bolting, the money will still do the talking, and the NCAA loves the money. ...

Piketon first plays Westfall Tuesday at Westfall. Westfall, despite the late start and limited practice time because of the football success, is scoring in bunches. The Red Streaks defense will need to step up BIGTIME.

The first thing that strikes me about this hire is how it now brings some top recruits who weren't considering Michigan now into direct competition with OSU (thinking of Pryor and Jenkins.) Losing them to non-conference teams would hurt; losing them to Michigan would hurt more. Don't know much about...

I'm sick and tired of hearing about OSU's schedule. I'm sure that when it was made, they weren't thinking that the Big Ten would be down, Washington would fold like a pup tent, and the non-league games would be as weak as they were. They played who they played and, with the exception of Illinois, be...

Should be a very good matchup. The Streaks are improving and playing better as a team. Liked what I saw out of Evan Legg in the second half against ZT. If can emerge as a legit 3rd scoring threat, that will make the team that much better. Hopefully there will be more inside scoring from the Streaks....

3-1 so far, I believe. Coach Crothers is finally seeing the young girls mature into experienced ones. Haven't seem them yet, but plan on catching a game or two. As long as they stay hungry, a few more W's are ahead.

Zane Trace -vs- Piketon

This Friday at Piketon. What do the Red Streaks need to do to notch another W? Traditionally the Pioneers have owned the Streaks, but I'm not concerned with traditionally. I like what this years team brings to the table, and I'm confident in Coach Lisath's ability to mold them into a winner. Go Stre...

Piketon has got to get stronger and keep working on the fundamentals in order to dethrone Westfall and hold off the other challengers. With the talent coming back, good things CAN be in store for them. But each and every boy on that team has got to want to work for it. I'm sure the folks at Westfall...
