lol dang man you barely gave ppl even 12 hours to respond :lol:

We open up tm vs Lewis County. Woulda played Unioto but got snowed out in the shawnee thing.

Big test coming 27th against PTOWN which will be a good gauge to see where we are. I think Adkins is out for ptown tho so that hurts them. Might be a few weeks before we see what this team really is with football going deep. I think we are one of the favs to win D5 district tho then who knows in regionals anyone's game

I havent heard if any football kids didnt come out or did come out. Anyone got info on that?

I think they will be really good. Their JV team will push them in practice

Not sure on on total wins with a tough nonconference schedule (Unioto, Chillicothe, Portsmouth, Ironton, Jackson, etc) and no off nights in SOC III. Will likely start slow due to football, but regardless, will be a team capable of winning D5 District Championship by end of season.

Rucker one of best point guards in area, and McGraw/Bivens both capable of going for 20+ on any given night. Also look for their younger players to step up (Miller, Doerr, Hanzel, etc). Got some serious talent coming up through the pipeline as well*

Looks like Burg has scoring potential this year.

If Portsmouth doesn't defend the 3 ball better than they did vs. Fairland last night, Wheelersburg will beat the Trojans. I understand that the Burg doesn't have much size, but since they scored 84 points in their first game, I would assume that they knocked down quite a few 3's.

This Pirates basketball team is undersized but very athletic and full of key senior contributors that have been playing major minutes for 3-4 years.

Feels like they are being slept on a bit IMO. They will be a tough out in March
