... as always if there are any incorrect records - let me know ... I will adjust in the thread and on the "big board" ...

Looking good as usual Pfloyd. Merry Christmas everyone. Prayer for safe travels all. Lynchburg is getting better and their 6'5" sophmore Roberts is gonna be a good one. Alot of length on that squad. Hoping my Indians keep it up and improve each game. Chemistry is key and our big freshman is part of that chemistry. The reserves are playing hard and I do believe by tourney time some of them will help as well.

Fairland too high... and Ironton too low.. still early though. It'll pan out. Great job pfloyd

Roberts is improving a lot offensively to add to his defensive game. Lynchburg-Clay at times have 3-4 sophomores on the floor getting quality minutes to go along with Clinton. Interested to see how they continue to progress throughout the season.

... teams play themselves into where they stack-up throughout the season ... big barometer week coming up :

Rza1, your Chesapeake Panthers @ Ironton and Portsmouth travels to Fairland both Monday night ... also South Point @ Gallia Academy Monday evening - hopefully GAHS has Meadows back in the lineup - they have struggled in their last 3 games without their leading scorer ...

Pfloyd, always great rankings each week!

One adjustment to the records that I see is that the SHAC website shows Manchester at 3-4 with wins against Green, West Union, and Portsmouth Clay.

Yep, I think they are gonna get better.

... yes, game 1 @ Lynchburg Clay ... 53-50 Mustangs ... they are in a virtual tie in the rankings at 41/42 with the edge going to the FAC strength of schedule ... McClain plays Blanchester on 1/3 ... Lynchburg will be playing Hillsboro on 12/30 I believe /McClain has Hillsboro on 1/16 ... Lynchburg Clay obviously has the tie breaker having beaten McClain ... LC with a couple of back to back W's has figured things out/gotten folks back on the floor ... they moved UP from 48 to 42 this past week ... it all plays out on the court or the "committee of one" checks in with the Ouija Board to settle any disputes LOL ...

Fairland looked the part on monday...

12/23

Felicity Franklin 71
Ripley 45

Eastern Brown 57
Hillsboro 45

Manchester 70
New Boston 43

Fairfield 71
Paint Valley 45

McClain 46
Zane Trace 42

Final

Green 47
West Union 39

Eastern Brown 57-Hillsboro 45. Chase Pinkerton with 19 points, Matthew Dick with 17. Howlett for Hillsboro had like 23 points in the 2nd half, and in a crazy stat, he scored the only points for the Indians the entire second half. Warriors got to 5-0 with the road win.

Nice showing by Logan Elm in the Brad Morris Classic, beating both Westfall and then Teays Valley

Teays and Circleville each went 1-1, with Teays winning a tight game between the two on Monday night.

We miss you, bman, and I’m glad that the schools in Pickaway County are still celebrating his legacy.

Good work per usual PFloyd, In the Shac it looks like Eastern is looking down at everyone else followed by Peebles, Fayetteville and Fairfield slightly below. Lynchburg Clay could have something to say about how it all shakes out, but with Eastern undefeated would need to defeat them on the road and have some chaos happen to challenge for a league title. I don’t think North Adams is done, too much pedigree in that program. Manchester losing Crabtree hurts, Ripley and West Union both appear to be down. Whiteoak is the dark horse, they have ability to play with everyone on a good night, they could be a sneaky menace in D7. Several games in the league to circle for sure.

... my plan is to get to SHAC games sooner than later here after Christmas ... I've seen all of the teams on livestreams BUT I want eyes on these teams - it's just the way I do it ... Peebles/Eastern Brown/Lynchburg Clay/NA/Fairfield Leesburg are all on my radar to go see in the next couple of weeks ...
