Needs a little work on the offensive end (namely just realizing how big he is and quit falling away from the basket when he shoots) but overall he made a huge impact on the game. Biggest thing I'm seeing with Valley is they force too many bad shots. They weren't very disciplined on offense and seemed to throw shots up that just weren't there. Need to play more team ball and better looks will be available. They have some pretty good shooters but just need to be patient in the half-court offense.

I think Valley pulls this one out @ Minford 61-58. As always for Valley though, lack of depth could hurt them. Will be a close one.

I will have to disagree with you on everything EXCEPT Levi. Levi played as well as I have ever seen him play and flashed what he is capable of doing this season. He played really well and you could tell the work the young man is putting into basketball right now is really starting to payoff which is also a great thing for our team.

For your other comments, I can't think of anything to say but WOW... The boys played with an aggressive mindset of attacking the rim against an athletic team (Northwest) that will win a bunch of games this season and the things that you saw were forced shots and not team basketball...? I am always amazed at the lack of support our boys/girls basketball players and coaches receive outside of their families/loved ones not only on SEOPS but in general. Blows my mind... I'm sure there is an excuse for how "I misunderstood this post" so I will just wait for your response.

Now on to this game, Huge matchup between 2 of the top 3 teams (SW is really good) in the conference tonight. This is a matchup that I have been wanting to see since we lost at Minford last year. The rematch of the team to score 70 first will win as both teams lace up their track shoes for this barnburner.

Not really sure how you take this post as a lack of support for our players and coaches. All I'm trying to indicate is that in the half court, making an extra pass might get someone a better shot than a contested 3 or long 2. I understand last game was their first of the season. Just pointing out what I see that could ultimately make them better. No reason to get all defensive. I believe that Valley can make some noise this year. They have great coaches and great players. They just have a few kinks to iron out as all teams do early in the season.

Take a ways: Copley is legit, Montgomery from anywhere across half court, but the Minford role players and depth is better. Fun game.

Valley
Copley:24pts
Buckle and Arnett 12pts

Minford (sophomores)
Montgomery:22pts
Shoemaker: 18pts
Kayser: 11pts

JJMD24, would you know a couple of businessmen (or are yourself one) that would like to form a new business that would allow five sportswriters to devote coverage mainly to Scioto County? Trust me, there are people out there that do support the kids, and want to more. But Scioto County has to decide what direction it wants to go in with sports coverage.

I think you may be on to something with your thinking. I love SOSA, the PDT and WNXT guys a lot and they do great jobs. In addition to what they do, I would like to see a blend of what Shayne Combs does with the SVC and what the guys do with the Pickaway County Hoops report. They do player spotlights, highlight the big upcoming weekly matchups and interviewing players. Kind of hyping the big matchups and promoting the kids.
