Swanker keeps reminding us why he played 0 seconds of high school basketball, but he sure can tell what good basketball and coaching is from the cheap seats.

SW held an athletic advantage at every position. To a man, this shouldn't have been a game, but was for a few reasons. Yeah, someone was out coached and it wasn't ND. Norm doesn't do anything different offensively. Good ole 5 out motion offense. Will be ok most of the time when you have the better a...

Look, someone let the troll out to play. Tough talk from a guy who played approximately 0 minutes in high school and would've done good to be the water boy on those SOC I teams this year.

On paper, SW probably has the better chance. I just have no faith in ER and the Jeeps got super lucky to beat an average ND team. What makes you think ND was average? By what definition? They are underwhelming "athletically" as a group, but that's about it. They had 20 wins. They have bee...

First, congrats to the Jeeps. They have a really great season. Secondly, all of the "kids" from South Webster have made it almost impossible to have a realistic and legitimate discussion about them on here all year. It is okay to give credit to other teams and players when they do well. It...

I'm going to say the Lions find a way to keep this one close in a low scoring, physical slug fest. Lions make a few more plays late and steal this one 44-42.

Valley also lost to lowly SOC I team Notre Dame. Last year, Northwest also didn't appear to be too negatively impacted by not being in the upper division. Notre Dame went 18-5, won their SOC and are playing for a district Championship, if that’s “lowly”….id take it. Coop, you missed my intended sar...

The officiating crew on this game is top notch. Looking forward to it. Trap game. I will not call them out, YET! That was the single WORSE officiating I have ever seen at a district basketball game. They called 1 ONE foul in the first half. The officials did fine. It is hard to officiate a game whe...

Will this even be streamed anywhere today? Looks like a nice, competitive day of basketball!

Too Low Oak Hill - the Oaks appear to be playing some good basketball. Close 3pt game with South Webster and then nice wins versus Green and Lucasville Valley. They should be moving up the list based on this past week. Rock Hill - The Ironmen have a few bad losses, but have also put together a coup...

With this many teams, sometimes you just get it wrong also. Especially early on. I think it is safe to say you simply had Lynchburg too high to start. I don't find the Green loss that surprising at all given their body of work so far. I know you say you evaluate "good" wins and "good&...

Oh, I agree that Lynchburg looks like they're going to be much better this year. I watched the SOSA stream of their game with Fairfield and minus one really bad stretch at the end of the 3rd were in that game and giving Fairfield trouble. That said, they also just lost to Green who is nearly 20 spot...

I'm not sure what game you watched, but it doesn't sound like the same one I did. Kudos to the Jeeps media team by the way, one of the best productions I've seen for a high school game. The post game stats, the announcers on the stream said the Jeeps were like 3-25 from three. Sounds like chucking t...

Thanks for all the basketball coverage you provide pfloyd. 1st-time poster, but a long time follower on here. A little more free time on my hands in what I will call semi-retirement... I still think you've got Southeastern, Notre Dame and Portsmouth West too low. They each have some very nice wins, ...
