With tournament time about here we all know that teams are seeded pretty much based on their won-lost record at tournament time. I looked at the standing of the four high schools in Gallia County and noticed that the girls teams own a better record than the boys teams.-In the boys Gallia Academy own...

I can tell by these posts that most of you who have responded are all under the age of 50, or even under 45. All of the names I've seen mentioned on here were outstanding players, but to do justice you'd have to go all the way back to the days of the late John E. Halliday in the 1920s. Although I ne...

To all of you SEOPS'ers who have shown concern and praying for my health, I have good news.-It came in the form of an early Christmas present on Dec. 18 when my cancer doctor told me that the months of chemotherapy and radiation had eliminated the cancer, and it was now in remission.

The league produced some first team, second team,and a few honorable mention to the all-state squad, All of these gu...

After reading all of this on a basketball forum I just had to throw in a fact that I know to be fairly accurate. A Gallipolis school board member told me last year that they had about 5 retires/rehires on the payroll. These teachers are all drawing retirement from the State Teachers Retirement Syste...

To any of you who are putting the bad mouth on Oz, my question is-Have you ever seen an Ohio Boys Basketball State Tournament? If you haven't, then you have simply no idea the huge gap between the talent we have seen there for over 45 years and what we see here in southern Ohio.-Over four decades I ...

For Fasteach and other posters I just have to jump in here and express my thoughts on Coach Jim Osborne.-He will be starting his 39th year here soon as head basketball coach.-If any of you want to bash him, I would suggst that you talk with any high school basketball coach from across Ohio and liste...
