I just can’t believe nobody had replied to this deep and thoughtful post yet. This site really is dying if stuff like this gets ignored.

I would guess that there will be plenty of talk about the Pointers after the upcoming matchup this weekend against Gallia Academy. Maybe because the verdict seems to still be out on just how good that Fairland may be this year. If SP is pretty competitive against the Blue Devils, no doubt I think that people will sit up and take notice.

You gotta start the conversation yourself sometimes. Don’t be afraid to engage, I’ve set the bar pretty low for posts on here for 13 some years now

Whether South Point beats Gallia Academy or not - the Pointers ARE good - good size, good shooters, good D ... there's a lot to like about the 2022-23 edition of the Pointers ... I watched (via video) both the "L" to the Peake at SP and the South Point "W" at Fairland ... 2 different games/2 different teams showed up for those games for SP ... vs Chesapeake the Pointers were 10% shooting from behind the arc, 12/17 from the FT line, 15 turnovers ... only 1 player Caleb Lovely in double figures scoring ... vs Fairland the Pointers - showed up BIG - Lovely drained 23 points, Haney 12 to go with 58% shooting from the field... SP was 7/11 from behind the arc with Lovely/Haney hitting 3 each ... 9/10 from the line while defensively shutting down Fairland 27% from the field/ 3/14 from behind the arc only 3/12 from the line ... the starters for FHS were out with over 4:30 to play in the 4th ... Fairland has no size in the paint - will struggle to matchup with ANY team with skilled size in the post ... I still like the talent at ALL 5 positions for Coach Speed - the youngsters Buchannan/Allen need to "relax" - they both can score the 3 ball - right now they are "trying" to score the ball ... South Point vs Gallia will be outstanding - Gallia Academy has had the "potential" label the last 2 years - this year the GAHS have arrived ... always a plus when you start with a 6-8 big in the middle who has the footwork that Clary has, the touch that Clary has ... Fellure/Franklin have been the question marks with so much potential - both have the ability to get to the rim and are ... I've posted in the past that GAHS has to show us they can draw defenders off of Clary in the paint by having a perimeter scoring game that makes defenses pay for packing it in ... looks like they have it this season ... this game will be a great matchup of 2 quality OVC teams ... I'll catch this one online after I get back from North Adams vs Fairfield Leesburg ...

Pfloyd I think with the Peake win was they took SP out their game by playing hard defensively the whole game. I watch SP play Fairland and I think they did to Fairland what the Peake did to them.
Just my opinion.

ABSOLUTELY peake71! didn't mean to imply that Coach Ater's squad wasn't a big part of how SP played in that home loss ... Chesapeake will "get people" this season through their hardnosed D, non-stop 32 minutes of pressure, full court ... Coach Williams at Western has 32-4-94 on the Western warmups - give it all for 32 minutes/4 quarters/94 feet ... that fits Chesapeake this season as well ...

S.p. the real deal fellas.... an have the top player in the league. Question is whether wise can keep em focused and bigger yet, if he can win a coaching battle..

I’m gonna ignore the coaching part, but how old is Lovely? And what kind of size does he have? 38 against a team like Gallia is reallllll impressive.

[peake71]

Lovely is a junior.

Travis Wise in my opinion is the best coach in the OVC. does a consistent job every year

He’s about a 6’1”, maybe 6’2” junior. Long, lanky guard (lefty) who can do it all. Absolutely terrific getting to the rim and finishing with either hand. Also has a great pull up. Not a bad outside shooter but that’s also not his strong suit. If he’s hitting from the outside opposing teams are really in trouble because they have to extend out and that’s where he excels (attacking 1 on 1).

Very talented kid who keeps improving.

Agreed

South point is the best team in this area ,the pitiful loss to a bad Chesapeake team was a wake up call .

S.P. won't lose another OVC game.

They made Clary run and you could see he was winded and gasping all night ,I'm not sure why no one else does this

Gasping or not Clary still had 26 points… he wasn’t stopped. GA’s outside buckets weren’t falling and SP’s were. I think you’ll see a different game when they play again. JMO

[peake71]

If the Peake was that bad how did South Point lose to them. South Point has a good team but will be hurting some next year with 4 senior starters.
Chesapeake will win games this year but dont get caught napping on them.

[Pinwheel]

usually a 1 and 4 or 1 and 5 team is considered a bad team ? It's not who you best ,it's who you lose to.

Maybe I'm wrong
