Not stirring a thing. EM and Waterford are easily the best two teams.

[ManitouDan]

best teams dont always make it . opinions are ok , but the games are won lost on the court .

That's all I gave....my opinion/prediction


It's fun and harmless, prove me wrong....I don't care at all. I'm wrong all the time.

[Fundamentals]

Ok so your saying ND beats SW? No problem with Eastern Reedsviile, they are the class if this area D4, Waterford is Tough but don't count out SW.

And the best teams don't always make it, look at North Adams game vs Northwest, would never have called that. Record wise, which is what everyone seems to judge on, burg should have beat West, Eastern Pike should have beaten SW. In fact some posted that Eastern P, should have been the 1,2 or 3 seed based on record.

So I say other then the top 2 seeds from Athens nothing is a lock..

[ManitouDan]

Yeah SW-ND is a toss up .. who rebounds better , who doesnt turn it over ? And the past couple years there have been zero challenges to the R Eastern - Waterford stranglehold on this district . Sounds like SW has a very talented group of 8th graders set to join the fine young team they have now ... they would be smart to start scheduling R eastern and waterford and faster teams next year during the regular season to be in place to compete come tourney time ... that advice is free of charge .. lol MD

I just made a simple prediction, nothing more, nothing less.

Of course SW can beat ND

Eastern Meigs will win each district game by 20+

Waterford will win each by 15+

It's only a prediction and not trying to slight, but trying to give props to how good they are.

Dont count out Manchester they have alot of heart and talent

They play Eastern Meigs. Eastern Meigs has the best player and a great supporting cast. I will be impressed if Manchester stays within 20. This is a complement to EM's abilities....not a knock on Manchester.

How did Manchester do against Lynchburg, North Adams and Peebles? EM is better than all of them....in fact they are way closer to Fayetteville's ability than the next best SHAC team.

Injuries
Foul Trouble

Two things that can GREATLY AFFECT the outcomes of tournament matchups.

I'm not just spewing crap to try and tick people off. This Eastern Meigs group is outstanding. They dominate volleyball until the regionals, they dominate cross country until the regionals, they've dominated basketball until the regionals and they advanced a ton of track athletes through to the regionals. It's a great group of girls going through that school. They are the premier SE district small school throughout the girls sports. I coached my cross country team all the way to the regionals....but Eastern Meigs blew us and the rest of our district out of the water. No one has touched this group at the district level the past two years....now they are juniors, so we shall see.

Waterford? They soundly defeated Marietta and Eastern Meigs...no one else has wins even close to those two.

Another thing about Waterford...

Here are the district final outcomes since 2002 (as far back as I could find)

Trimble over Clay by 24

2005

Southeastern by 18 over Waterford

2002

Crooksville by 1 over South Webster



This year is this year....I completely get that but Waterford has beyond proven why I am going with them. They have been to the REGIONALS 7 straight years.


Best of luck to everyone! The ND/SW game is the last game I would bet on. I'm going with ND.

I have zero connections to any team that is left. I do not care in any way who wins. Good luck to all!

Iron man I dont mind your playful banter . I know , or at least you saw the playful banter in mine .. MD and yes the stats clearly back you up ... sounds like SW has a group coming up to try to break the stranglehold .

South Webster has had plenty of regional appearances mixed in there already.

From what I've heard they do....and a couple real good ones to mesh with. IMO they still better avoid EM next year, Waterford should be running low soon I'd guess.

[Five Point]

Ironman92 is no dummy folks. He makes his picks based on research. He has proven why he picked Eastern and Waterford with research to back it up.

Regardless....I have nothing in this. I have coached 3 different varsity girls sports for a total 17 different sporting seasons. I don't have a single thing against any kid involved. I love to watch kids compete and improve.....but I also enjoy picking winners.

[Super trooper]

I think for someone in the District to beat Eastern or Waterford they will have to play a perfect game and hope to catch on Eastern or Waterford off one night

[hardfowl]

The Eastern vs Manchester game can be heard on Retro 92.1 FM and online at www.wyvk.com.

Good luck to all the Scioto County teams.
