Cummon D'spy, don't give all our secrets away.
Two sets of scouts at game tonight but I think they left before the Cadets started their run with about four minuts to go.

[efarns]

They missed an exciting finish, but driving from Steubenville to Ironton on a night like tonight wouldn't be a lot of fun.

[EasternDspy]

If I had to guess I'd pick Adena.

[EasternDspy]

The big 3 Liedtke, Buccanon , Combs have started since 2010 and have made it 1 step closer every year. 2010 District Semi L Tusky Valley 45-37, 2011 District Final L Garaway 16-10, 2012 L Sweet 16 Africentric 54-66 2013?

[EasternDspy]

Adena it is with a 41-28 victory over Ironton

[Ironman92]

Slight edge to FF

46-40

[EasternDspy]

What kinda team does Adena have? Are they a post team or guard oriented?

[danicalifornia]

Lot of guards and length. They play great individual and team defense. Have a 1000pt scorer in Jenny Grigsby(District 14 POY) and I think the Cooper girl is actually their best, which shows how much she does on the floor. They are well coached, but don't have much of a bench.

I have no thoughts on the game since I know nothing about the Fort. I just guess it would be a good game.

[EasternDspy]

Like I said the lady Cadets have a ton of experience and are about 7 deep lost one of the guards off the bench. Both teams are known for defense. Cadets struggled a tad with WMs size. They got to box and rebound better.

[efarns]

Of course, everybody in the sweet 16 is great. I think Fort Frye's edge is that they are experienced and focused. It's a senior-led team. This is where they got knocked out last year and they're on a mission to take it further.

Am I reading this correctly? Did you say the final score in 2011 v. Garaway was 16-10?

[EasternDspy]

Garaway ran stall ball

[EasternDspy]

In the tourney FF is scoring 65 ppg Allowing 32 ppg

[local superstar]

Havent seen FF but Adena is well coached. #5 is a gamer for them. Nice team.

[EasternDspy]

So does Adena have giants?

[local superstar]

Not the game I saw against Ironton. They missed alot of shots initially and free throws but Ironton only shot 19% according to newspaper.Believe it said Adena shot 40% and only 50 some from charity stripe..?

[EasternDspy]

Sounds like some great defense. I look for 3 point specialist Morgan Leidtke to go off.

[thill2010]

Why are they clearing the gym after the 1st game makes no sense
