0-3 Trimble @ 2-0 Vinton County Tues. 12/15

[Dundas]

Based on the way both teams have started the year...id have to give the edge to VC. It will be the Vikings first home game of the year as they have traveled to Paint Valley and played John Glenn at the Convo. The Vikings defend their home court well and i see them picking up win number 3 in as many chances.

Dundas, I have to agree. I think VC will win as well. Im interested as to see who will win the battle between the Guthrie cousins. Id like to be a fly on the wall at that christmas dinner. LOL!

I look for VC to win this one fairly easily. Too much fire power in McArthur for the Tomcats. If the Vikes stay out of foull trouble I see a 20-30 point win.

I'd be a little surprised to see a spread that large. Trimble will play you hard for 32 minutes. The Guthrie factor should be interesting, that's for sure!

[Space Cowboy]

My experience at watching the Guthries is that they seem pretty good at being able to keep basketball from causing family rifts. But they will play each other just as hard as any other opponent. If anyone was to ever pick a single family to say "This is SE Ohio Basketball", I would have to nominate them.
Vinton County by 17+

how bitter does one coach have to be on this thing ? seriously man they cut ties with you and you are at another school just let it go.

[Dundas]

Trimble played VC tough last year in Glouster as VC came away with only a 7 point win..This year however...if VC gets out to a quick start like they did against Paint Valley, they should win big. Id say with it being the home opener, VC will be pumped up for this one. VC by 18-23.

VC big IMO

The Guthrie factor should be interesting.....
It always is... but basketball is basketball...family is forever!! It only makes each Guthrie play up to their ability.... but I am sure that is a lot of smack around the family dinner table..... Good luck to both Dylan and Noah!!

GO VIKES!
Hope we have a good turn-out for the first home game this season!
I am ready for some basketball.

[Space Cowboy]

I will be there.

If Trimble still had their old coach the wouldnt be 0-3 and VC would be in for a beatdown....

Is that you koondogger?

Baldeagle, Apparently Duck/Koondogger hasnt heard much about coach Combs.

[akwhitewater]

What time does this game start? Are there any updates? Will anyone be updating as the game plays?

[Dundas]

Game should start around 7:45.

I will be updating ak.

[akwhitewater]

Thank you Dundas: I have two big dogs in this fight !!!

[Dundas]

Your welcome ak..im guessing the Guthries??

[Dundas]

Ill try to post every few minutes with the score, time and maybe a lil rundown of whats happend to that point.

[Dundas]

I think the Viking D will play solid tonight against the Cats. I would be surprised if VC gives up more than 45 points. VC could break this game open if they are hitting on offense and control the ball better than against JG. Ill take VC 68-45.

[akwhitewater]

You would be correct!! I am just hoping for an injury free game for both the boys!

[akwhitewater]

If I had to pick a winner I would also have to go with the Vikings.... they are a more seasoned team.
