Re: FAIRLAND (2) vs. WHEELERSBURG (7) 2/25 @ Waverly Downtown Gym

Horrible ending to this game. Pirates upset the Dragons 45-43. Players apparently running their mouths when shaking hands leads to a huge fight which ends up at midcourt with people coming from near and far. One fan taken to the hospital and teams kept apart when leaving.

Re: Western vs Symmes Valley

SV tops Western 72-66. Western missed a bunch of free throws in the first half, and that basically kept them behind the entire game. Western also played a full court press defense that was ineffective against Smith. He got the ball several times on the inbounds pass and took it straight to the baske...

Re: BIGS Below the Lancaster-Dixon Line for 2024-25

Bo Henry, a 6’6 junior at Piketon. With the Red Streaks losing 3 starters from last season, he will have to carry an even bigger load than he did last season.

Re: Transfers of note for the 2024-25 season ??? / New Coaches ???

I can't 100% confirm, but I believe there is a transfer going to Jackson for baseball, but also plays basketball. ~6'2", Senior leader/experienced, sounds like a solid contributor, role-player type. If I hear confirmation, I'll circle back so it isn't just speculation. Also heard that Coach Wa...

Re: Officiating!

Are there "good" officials? Yes. Are there "bad" officials? Yes Volunteer to work the scorers table and you will see both, but you will also see that they are, regardless of how coaches, players, and crowd reacts, trying their best. If more people sitting in the stands would take...

Re: Who is “HIM” in the Week that IS? 1/23 -1/27/24

Northwest defeated Western tonight 60-48. #12 for NW (Bolin I guess, couldn’t understand the announcer) had 50. Hit probably 6 triples and 12 free throws. Literally couldn’t miss.

Re: Friday 12/29 Scores and Updates

Piketon shot lights out in the first half, cooled off considerably in the second. Waverly has a very impressive group of freshmen, led by Russell (17 points.) Piketon did a much better job of handling the pressure than they have so far this season. Tigers will win some games this season as they gain...

Re: Western Pike 84 Piketon 83 Dbl OT a final

pfloyd, very accurate rundown from last night. Going in, I didn't know what to expect from either team, as both lost some parts from last year, either due to graduation or guys not playing/transferring this year. It was a bitter pill for this Red Streaks fan, but I was happy to see my nephew play ve...

Re: 12-1-23 games and scores.

Piketon missed a ton of free throws, and Western just never gave up. Piketon won’t face a group of guards like Western’s the rest of the season.

Re: D4 District Final #5 Green vs #1 Leesburg Fairfield

If it comes down to coaching, I take Green. How Fairfield’s coach avoided getting T’d and tossed against Western is beyond me. He definitely needs to do some growing up. How many times are you going to post about him? I talked with two others at the game (neither from either team) and all I heard w...

Re: Well... you Howie Haters got what you wanted!

Would someone please convince Tomcat Queen that it was Western PIKE, not Western Brown, that beat Trimble in the tournament last year? PIKE, not Brown. PIKE. Geesh.

Re: D4 Tournament Thread

I enjoyed announcing and watching 2 very good games tonight in The Oven at Piketon (though it felt like the sauna!) The crowds were loud and supportive of their teams. Fairfield’s coach has some growing up to do; he doesn’t need to complain for the entire game. Should be a good district final betwee...

Re: D4 Tournament Thread

When Piketon hosted the D2 girls district semis, we had a lot of trouble getting the Unioto players and fans to clear the floor so Athens could warm up. Even after I announced it several times and members of our administration were asking people to leave the floor, they were reluctant to do so. I wa...
