7th grade in Scioto county is between Valley and West. Valley has some really nice players and West has the Sanderlin kid who is really tough.

Looking like Wheelersburg may have one of the best 8th grade boys team around this season. Word is they have a couple of kids playing that were not at Burg last year. Apparently the best player from Portsmouth West last year and the best player from Ironton last season are at Wheelersburg this year. Should be a very good team, maybe the best around.

Southeastern 8th grade boys are pretty strong this year. It's a really strong Baskeball class,unfortunately there's not much in front of or behind them as far as talent goes.

Not buying. We’ll see how they fare against Waverly

Should be a good matchup. They play each at Burg this coming Monday. Does Waverly’s jr high press like the high school? If they do, should be interesting to see who plays against the press better. This group from Burg can smother you with their press.

Waverly can definitely press. I’ve heard Stully is out? Hope not but if he is you might be able to press Waverly...but Robertson is the best ball handler in 8th grade anywhere around here. I don’t think I would press them but I’d definitely be ready to be pressed.

Both of those kids looked pretty good when we played them, but the Tigers were just too much still.

I was told Burg also had a new kid from Portsmouth that wasn't there in 7th grade. Relievable source I believe. The rematch should be another good game. 7th grade game should be excellent also. Looks like Waverly's 8th grade will have their hands full again tonight. I hear Minford is good and that they are HUGE.

The only “new” players this year for Burg are one kid from Ironton on the 8th grade team and two kids on the 7th grade team. The latter are brothers who used to attend Burg until they had to move due a parent transferring for work.

Maybe that's what was meant by my source. He was a credible guy. I'll make sure I get more confirmation before posting for now on.

Don't know about him but some of the other stuff is pretty brazing. I know their superintendent has been made aware. Let's see if they back off
