I will pick VC in this one IF they play their usual hardnose and tough defense and at least two of their three long ball shooters has a good game. One thing for sure, if they lose, it will not be because they were outcoached. The Vikings can be a handful for any opponent and it should be a good game...

I know someone can clear this up for me. I keep track of the All-TVC teams in all sports and need some info. I think I read in the By-Laws that the champions in each weight class are members of the All-TVC team. Someone told me once that runners-up were second team and 3rd placers were HM All-TVC. T...

Congrats to the Vikings and Coach Combs on a really great win over Wellston. I was especially pleased to see Adam Ward have such a big game in his final game on the home court. He was relaxed and just threw them in from all points on the court. I don't know what his final total was, but it was big f...

It all depends on whether team A is home or away. We all know that. LOL

I also congratulate Coach Kight and his Viking girls. I know they will be strong in the TVC next season. Good job coach and also to your team.

The 23 points the Vikings gave up breaks the VCHS record of fewest points scored by an opponent. The previous record was 29 given up in a 57-29 victory over Wellston last year.

Great job Vikes!

OMG maroon shorts, Ty has revealed himself several times on here. You must pay more attention. BTW, how come your avatar looks like mine? Check out the moniker my friend. Moniker is another name for name. Just saying.

I don't know how Fed Hock can have a TVC Champions banner for the boys program which shows that they won the TVC chanpionship in 1968. There was no TVC basketball championship in 1968. The first season for basketball was in the 68-69 season. They did win the first four championships and shared the t...

So jottings4ever was only 34 points off in his prediction.

jottings4ever,

Meigs in a close one?? The spread in your close one is 18 points!

I say VC by 5 to 10 points depending on their hustle on defense and on the boards.

Big win for Wellston for sure. The Vikings did not look ready to play the game. Very sloppy ball handling and poor shot selection at times. I was impressed with the way Shawn Amerine played for the Vikings off the bench. He had nine points with 3 FG (one was a 3-pointer) and 2 for 2 from the line. H...

This is just going back four seasons (2006-07 thru 2009-10). I am pretty sure all of these were Div I or II at the time. 2006-07 Athens 66-52 Waverly 75-57 New Lexington 70-69 Jackson 54-34 Philo 70-56 Athens 71-50 Warren 70-65 2007-08 Athens 98-40 Jackson 80-46 Waverly 52-39 Philo 66-55 New Lexingt...

Boiler,

GOAT-Vikes, ergo Greatest Of All Times Vikes.

Thanks for the shout-out for the Vikings.

Oh, almost forgot. Ergo means therefore or hence.

Played in the '50's in a northern county. There were two city schools and four county schools that played FB. The co. schools did have their own league which only counted for three league games per year. We did play our arch rival twice each year and then scrounged around the peripheral counties for...

Spot on Hawkeye! IMHO, what makes Combs' record at VC stand out is his uncanny ability to get his team to play hard-nosed and disciplined defense. That simply does not happen unless players absolutely respect their coach. Playing offense is easy, playing defense takes much, much more. tsa, as you ge...

Razor, Thanks for your thoughts. I think John Royster did a great job at VC, but I think even he would recognize a pinhead like you when he sees the things you put in your comments. Just out of curiosity, you stated you were glad your team didn't have to play VC in the VC gym every year so you proba...

Thank the Lord some others chipped in and jumped on The Razor. Thanks for the back-up viking4life and space cowboy. I think we could have used you on the outside cowboy (if you are who I think you are). He has been smoking to much of something I think. diamondD1, I know it was close at the buzzer, b...

Thought I posted this once, but must have hit the wrong key. I just watched the hardwood heroes video and if you pause it when the Athens player shoots the ball to tie the game in regulation, you will see that the ball is still nestled in his hand when the scoreboard shows all zeroes. The game shoul...

Boy, you're right about that Razor. Combs has lost 2 of his last 13 TVC contests. Of course, he had won 36 straight TVC games leading up to those 13. So his TVC record over the past four plus seasons is only 44-2. That .957 winning percentage will get you fired real quickly. I really liked John Roys...

Rocketfan88,

Cleveland is a long way for me to run. If I was going, I would probably drive (and that would take me at least 4 hours). I will just wait until Jan 14 to see the rockets in action vs VC.

Have a good time if you are going. I'm gonna stay here in SE Ohio.
