Since then Websters went back to the zone press they ran last season and it’s worked really good. The losses to Valley and Burg… easily we could be 12-1 but credit to those teams who are also really good

... EVERY team NEEDS that "wakeup" call game ... when coaches/players/fans talk UP a team (all teams, not just "a" South Webster team) - "kids" begin to "believe" the hype ... sometimes the "kids" and even the coaches are blinded by the fact that they can't just walk on the court and get the W - the practice/the work ethic/ AND EXPECTATIONS to work your arse off has to be there no matter the talent level ... someone IS working their "arses" off to beat THAT team at the top ... if THEY are working their "arses" off and you're not (as talented as you ARE) - you're behind now, playing catchup ... the great thing about playing in a tough league with lots of good teams - you GET to play those teams that are ranked higher than you! you GET the chance to prove you ARE better on the hardwood ... South Webster has the Burg & Valley this week AT HOME, Minford next week at Minford ... with a sleeper team in Waverly @ the House that Hawhee Built in between ... fun times !!!

Uhh, they got dominated at home against Minford. It wasn’t close at all. It was 68-46 and they won the 4th quarter.

Therefore, I’m guessing the ranking is off the eye-test since pfloyd has seen both teams. I’ve seen them both and would also take Paint Valley over Webster, although it’s close. Webster probably has a higher ceiling, but also a much lower floor, as we saw with them giving lackluster effort against Minford.

Paint Valley has lost at Fairfield, at Westfall, at Zane Trace and vs Fed Hock on a neutral court. No bad losses in there, although the game at Westfall was a bigger margin than anticipated.

Last night at Valley (one of the toughest places to play imo) Minford got a boost from the role players as Myles Montgomery had what might be his worst game of the season so far (15 points, 5 assists, 4 steals )

6’4 Sophomore Jackson Shoemaker had 22 points (3/4 from deep), 6’7” senior Joe Hannah had a double double with 20 points, 6’5” sophomore Bennet kayser held Copley to 18 points (really could have been 15, as Jace chucked up a one legged 3 in the final 20 seconds from well behind the arc)

Point is, Minford is long, athletic, good size and strength inside with Shoemaker, smart play and big shot making in Crank and then everyone’s focus and attention is on Montgomery who is averaging around 23-24 PPG. Stay healthy and this group can make a run. The SOC2 is an absolute gauntlet this year and to be 10-0 is something to really be proud of.
