Thoughts on who takes the district semifinal at the convo?

I'll go Eastern by 6

Should be a very good game. Waterford has more size than Webster had and should be able to match Eastern's physicality.

I'm not going to predict a winner because I think both are very solid. But, I do think this game will be decided by less than 5 points.

This could be a matchup problem for Eastern. Waterford size could give Eastern problems on the inside. That in turn that could free up the shooter for Waterford. Waterford is fast with good athletes. They will match Eastern with athletes. I anticipate this being a good game.

Waterford by 5

Waterford will win this game very easily I think they shot very well from the bench and Welch can shoot the 3, and Huffman controls the game by his point guard skills, Brooker has experience to get the team ready, and Lang can slam them down. Wildcats by 15 in this one. Hback what are your thoughts.

I don't agree with anyone who thinks "Waterford" by a lot. Eastern is MUCH better than you're giving them credit for, they're the 2 seed for a reason. Also they're lead by Coach Barrick, one of the best in Southeast Ohio.

It will be a close game, and if Eastern shoots 65% again like they did last night, well, good luck.

Eastern is well coached that is for sure. What other information is there to share about eastern? Should be a good game both teams from scores have been playing well.

Who did Waterford lose to this year?

Trimble once south gallia once and fort frye twice

So do they have any other big wins other than beating Trimble once and South Gallia once?

eastern better guard the three point line if they do that you have a shot

Yeah 16 of them. Our depth will be the difference on the big floor. Looking forward to it very much.

The league occupies 16 games. Waterford plays county rivals - Fort Frye and Frontier - in home-and-homes for 4 other games. Fort Frye (who is something like 18-6) blew them out the first time and beat them at the buzzer the second time. Waterford beat Frontier (who is somewhere around, maybe slightly below .500) twice, once handily and by 2 on the road. The other non-conference game (not sure why there were 21 games and not 22) was against Conotton Valley, who I believe won 12 games and Waterford won on the road by 6.

not got a chance to watch Waterford now I wish I could have. eastern can go 8 deep maybe 9 so I don't think depth will be an issue. I'm guessing this is a good game coach barrick and the eagles will be prepared and ready to go.GO EAGLES.

Waterford will really push the ball, how well is easterns transition defense

we can play defense can apply a lot of pressure and pretty physical. we are a defensive team if we come in and play the way we have been I'm guessing it's gonna be a great game.

Eastern by 12, or more. The Leist boys are very good.

yeah the eagles got a few good ball players and they are definitely 2 of them. the younger one is real good runner and quick, the big floor shouldnt bother him at all.

Eastern play with intensity on offense and defense like the sectional final they should be in good shape. As with other 3 games rooting for the SOC 1.
