don’t have many arguments. I feel Unioto should be at 7 Ahead of SW FU and Adena with the season we had and returning our best player and one of the top guards in the area. But what’s really cool is we play Adena and FU and scrimmage Warren. Really looking forward to the Warren scrimmage to see the Dennis/Little match up. (Can prolly get you a ticket for that one Pfloyd) never seen Dennis play but listening to you talk him up I’m getting excited for the matchup.

And didn’t FU lose quite a bit to graduation?

Nevermind. I’m an idiot. It’s Sheridan not Warren

[JC2124]

Swap Trimble and Fed Hock. Fed Hock returns more than Trimble and they are defending champs.

[Ironman92]

Looks good, nothing glaring.

Jackson scrimmages Fairfield Union and Chesapeake and didn’t lose a single quarter out of 7 quarters....did get some rona from the one player and knocked out all 3 programs for a good bit.

Lynchburg Clay has a good sophomore group and will be top 35 I imagine. Whiteoak returns some solid athletes and should be top 40 as well.

FU should be just fine - lots of size still ... probably THE best defensive player in SEO in 6-5'ish Ryan MaGill, 6-5 Andrew Moll, 6-5 Charlie Bean along with Matt Qualls (5-11) ... Coach Eversole and Coach Helber do a great job - have been working hard since last season with all of the allowed workouts and more ... if I'm not mistaken I believe graduated Huston Harrah's brother will be seeing varsity action as well ... FU will be just fine imo ...

Lynchburg Clay has a good sophomore group and will be top 35 I imagine. Whiteoak returns some solid athletes and should be top 40 as well.

Let us know if Chesapeake actually lost a couple of players to I'm assuming a Huntington school in WVa ? Dearth and Taylor according to a post BUT Coach Davis & his staff bring back Travis Grimm who will move to a starting position, Nathan Cox, Levi Blankenship, Dilen Caldwell ... the style of ball that the Peake liked to play - scrappy on D, push the ball offensively - will keep oppositions on the run this season as well ... Coach Davis gets the most out of everyone who sees the floor - I don't see anything different this season - be looking to see who the supporting cast will be for CHS , what kind of bench play will be big ... the style of ball they play has everyone a potential double digit scorer in any game as they score out of transition ...

I KNOW Coach Carson had a lot of young players for Lynchburg Clay , glad that he was brought back for another season as he does a great job courtside for Lynchburg ... I hope LC in fact moves up the rankings - they just have to do it on the court for me ...

[pfloyd]

Swap Trimble and Fed Hock. Fed Hock returns more than Trimble and they are defending champs.

... you are probably right JC2124 , you KNOW what FH looks like now - lots returning for sure Hunter/Lance Smith, Jarvis (not 100% YET but will get there), Massie, Lucas ... I just read where FH got a transfer from the U ? (daniC gave him high praise) ... Brad Russell/Basim are BIG losses for FH ... I know you told me about an incoming freshman that you said could have started LAST YEAR as an 8th grader !!! FH will be moving up the rankings quickly I'm sure ...

I’m a homer though Pfloyd lol. I think the rankings look pretty good. Jarvis is still out, not sure if he has a date to return yet. Tyler Rogers is the transfer from the U. He is out but making progress. He’s 6’5 so another big body for the Lancers. In my eyes Trimble was more holes to fill than the Lancers. They have Howie but I think our DIV coach of the year holds his own.

[peake71]

PFloyd,
Trent Dearth went to Huntington but for baseball.
Ethan Taylor went to Cabell Midland which dad a good team last year.
We had a transfer who set out the second half last year who will get some playing time.
Hopefully we play.

Thanks for the info peake71 - I knew you would have the answers ... if I remember right the transfer was a "big" as well ! ... stay healthy my friend ... and I'm with you - hope the kids get to play ...

[93Bulldog]

Athens ranked 3rd in the County? Typical from a "Logan guy." ... lol

Gonna be a fun week when Athens vs Trimble and Athens vs Fed takes place in January.

... want those Bulldogs of Coach Cozart working hard right from the git go ! give them some locker room material right off the bat !!! ... You'll have to do a good job courtside in the opener vs Warren at the WarriorDome - pfloyd not going to make the trip as much I want to - it's best I don't at this time healthwise ... lot's of napkin stats ! ...

[peake71]

About 6' 4" transfer from Fairland a junior.

[The Ghost of Swanker]

We’ll be lucky to get a game in before New Year Day unfortunately.

Yep. Covid will apparently be gone by then

Athens will be good for sure. Fed Hock will be ready for them. Lots of former teammates on Athens.

Nice list my friend.

Not too shabby.
