Athens All Time Basketball

Post by mattash »

This is everyone over 1,000 points I have listed. Please post who needs added to the list and the amount of points.
Please post the all time rebound, steals, assist and block leaders if you have them.


53 Joe Burrow Athens 2015 1426 0 0 0 0

Who is the overall top 5 in school history?

Starting 5
Larry Hunter
Ibi Watson
Joe Burrow
Steve Bruning
Sunny Kalu

1,000 point would be Joe Burrow, Steve Bruning, and Griffin Lutz. Can’t remember if Don was over 1,000. Also Roger Bentley probably is the all time leading scorer but played 3 years at Chauncey and 1 at Athens. 6’7 guard that averaged 31 a game

Athens had pretty good teams back in the day so not many 3-4 year varsity players.

About two miles from The Plains, where Athens High School is located. While traveling East on 33 it is to the left when you turn right to The Plains.

The Plains
Chauncey

Were three separate schools at one time.

Consolidated around 1968 I think? 69? 70?

If Roger Bentley and Larry Hunter don't count. Mike Wren doesn't count. He played for the red and black not the green and gold

Doesnt matter if its red & black or green & gold goofball. He played for Athens High School.
All stats from old Athens to The Plains Athens were transferable, including wins & losses & league titles.
Chauncey, Plains have their own records & stats.

You do realize the school listed all those state titles and state appearances as Athens green and gold. Those are mostly the Plains and Chauncey. Athens has the 1928 baseball ball banner

The school said nothing pre consolidation counts. Mostly because The Plains and Chauncey would own the record book :lol:

Chauncey is better known for Mr. BOBO that played at Ohio State. Should still be at the top of a lot of Ohio High stats.

Doesn't matter what the school says or does.
OHSAA recognizes all time wins, loss records for ALL Athens teams going back to its inception whether it was red & black Athens or green and gold.
SEOAL also recognizes wins/losses for "Athens" pre and post consolidation combined.

Ohsaa only goes by what the AD sends. Half the schools haven’t sent anything. Ironton’s fake record is still #1. Also Athens has never sent team wins records to Ohsaa. Athens baseball is probably top 5 all time if you count pre 1967

And the SEOAL is dead. It’s records are the same as the Athens county league and Southeast Ohio Buckeye League

Go to DII Convo district tournament program
Turn to last page
Every single record, win, percentage, etc ... includes Athens records going back to when they first started playing basketball and holding tournaments.
We are (54-48) in sectional games. That is 102 years buddy.
Our district runner ups includes our last in 1993 and our first in 1937.
We have TWO district titles. 2013 and 1965. One team had two of the 1,000 point scorers (Griff and Joe), the other had our college basketball H.O.F in Mike Wren.

No mention of red & black Athens or green and gold Athens ... It's just "Athens".

He knows better than to mess with me. I actually work out with the big boys & weights, while he piddles around on a stair climber with all the other ladies.
