Also I think that EC district and Regional is harder then the New Phila/OU district and regional.don't know maybe Dalton has better shooters than Hiland

If Malvern makes it to the regionals not one person will care about the schedule they played during the regular season.That's a game they are forced to play. It's basically a league game. Malvern didn't schedule it
Once again, everybody knew Malvern would be loaded this year yet they did nothing with their non conference schedule outside of one game. It's why they have a negative schedule rating.
Hopefully it doesn't hurt them but it would've been better for everyone if they would've scheduled some competition.
Correct. But if they don't make the Final Four not one person will care they went 22-0.If Malvern makes it to the regionals not one person will care about the schedule they played during the regular season.
I just saw video of the phantom double dribble call. Wow. That's as bad of a call in a critical situation as you will ever see. Who knows if Garaway scores to tie it or win it but to not even get the chance based on that is brutal.Garaway got screwed by a terrible call at the end on the game. Officials aren't perfect but that was brutal. Possibly cost Garaway the game
they have to make state before you'll say they had a good season I'd put their schedule against any IVC team except Hiland and Malvern has beaten 3 teams they lost toCorrect. But if they don't make the Final Four not one person will care they went 22-0.
Nobody is questioning Malvern as a team. They are obviously really good. It's just a shame they had such a weak schedule.they have to make state before you'll say they had a good season I'd put their schedule against any IVC team except Hiland and Malvern has beaten 3 teams they lost to
LOL. OK
If Malvern plays Tusky Valley's schedule, they don't go undefeated.Tusky Valley is out of the tournament. I don’t care what their schedule was. The RPI might see playing Dover as impressive but it’s not.
14 games are automatic 15 counting showcase 7 games left Maysville Minerva Garaway Smithville River Akron East Central Christion who was picked.up right before the season started because a 17 win Lisbon team dropped usNobody is questioning Malvern as a team. They are obviously really good. It's just a shame they had such a weak schedule.
Malvern's opponents had a winning percentage this season of .456.
Hiland was .597
Sandy Valley -.49
Garaway - .503
Buckeye Trail - .518
Tusky Valley - .583
Ridgewood - .498
Those are the DIII teams. Malvern easily had the worst schedule and they have the best team
Don't forget 5-17 Ridgewood.14 games are automatic 15 counting showcase 7 games left Maysville Minerva Garaway Smithville River Akron East Central Christion who was picked.up right before the season started because a 17 win Lisbon team dropped us
Well if Malvern beat Dover this year and went undefeated it wouldn’t mean much because they didn’t lose and didn’t learn anything apparently lolDon't forget 5-17 Ridgewood.
Marysville is a great game. Totally get Minerva. Garaway is fine I guess but why not Sandy Valley, Indian Valley or Hiland? The rest is garbage.
How great would a Malvern- Dover game have been this year?
Well that's a no brainer,we all know the Richmond Hts regional is tuffer,than the OU regionalAlso I think that EC district and Regional is harder then the New Phila/OU district and regional.
Ridgewood and Tusky were automatic crossovers and Gary won't play us he was mad last year he had to play us in the showcaseDon't forget 5-17 Ridgewood.

Always curious why SV and Malvern don't have a rivalry like some other neighboring schools. Where they play every year.Ridgewood and Tusky were automatic crossovers and Gary won't play us he was mad last year he had to play us in the showcase
Actually I agree with that which is why everyone is saying Malvern have should scheduled up. If Malvern was an average team nobody would criticize the schedule.I have never seen a high school basketball team go undefeated in a season and not one person has anything good to say about them. Forget the schedule. They have the best player in the District and some good players around him. Nobody wants to talk about it but not one school has a player even close to Barrino. That should be the story. Malvern has the best player by far who is a special two-way player.
If what you are saying is true then shame on Offenberger and the SV admin for allowing that to happen. That's embarrassing. That game should be played every year.Ridgewood and Tusky were automatic crossovers and Gary won't play us he was mad last year he had to play us in the showcase
Stop lying on hereRidgewood and Tusky were automatic crossovers and Gary won't play us he was mad last year he had to play us in the showcase
Well what happened during the few games they had competition??? They lose?Actually I agree with that which is why everyone is saying Malvern have should scheduled up. If Malvern was an average team nobody would criticize the schedule.
The truth is we don't actually know how good Malvern is because outside of a few games they've played no competition.
I suspect Malvern is really good but based on their past history they have to actually show people in the tournament because there isn't much proof from the regular season
They won. There's a big difference between getting up for a few games though and having to bring it every night when you play a schedule like HilandWell what happened during the few games they had competition??? They lose?
We’re still talking regular season? Malvern is 2-0. play Barnsville at Edison High School on Tuesday. That’s the only schedule were thinking about right now in Malvern.They won. There's a big difference between getting up for a few games though and having to bring it every night when you play a schedule like Hiland
Let me ask you a simple question. Which schedule would have better prepared Malvern for tournaments? Their schedule or Hiland's schedule?
Malvern- Barnesville. Lot of green in that game. Malvern by 20.We’re still talking regular season? Malvern is 2-0. play Barnsville at Edison High School on Tuesday. That’s the only schedule were thinking about right now in Malvern.
The Hiland team hasn't been the same team since Connor Beachy went down. Much of their struggles can be traced back to that. Senior who is ultra competitive. Unselfish player, 2nd leading rebounder on the team when he went down. Guarded the other teams best gaurd usually and shot over 60% from the field. He always made the right play and the ball movement isn't the same since he's gone. Sammy,Alex and Connor played together since they were kids so if 2 go down your not just plugging another kid in there. He's not my kid but every good team has a glue guy doing the dirty work and Hiland lost theirs when he got hurt. Your 2 guys that set all the screens are gone. Injuries happen but you can see the trust level and cohesiveness is not there anymore. They run plays and kids have to stop and think about where the ball goes and the ball movement stops. Injuries happen all the time but they make a big difference.The younger kids are playing really hard and theyll be good players. Just need a summer to play together. You always have a shot with Sammy and Mark coaching the team but i think it will be an uphill battle.Hawks have lost there mojo,this definitely not the same team I watched back in mid January,I know we're down two starters and our bench is getting thin,and now our one starter can't go all out, he's fighting bronchitis,the three point shooting game is getting into our heads there thinking about it to much,I guess survive and move on, next Shadyside
Completely ridiculous. Indefensible.I just watched the end of the Union Local Garaway game I sure did not see a Double dribble by the Garaway player. The Official must have had a better angle to make that call at that time of the game in a close Tournament game
Agree. Seen them a couple times including last night. Better play better against St. C or the season will be Over.Boy Indian Valley is just winning by the skin of there teeth by two teams that they played they should of handled a little easier,I know a win is a win,by 1 or by 20, they don't look like the same team earlier in the season
Look at the D2 Eastern District. There's four teams left, and Malvern has beaten 3 of them! I'd say that's pretty good. Maysville the 1 seed on a 17 game winning streak was beat @ home by Malvern, Indian Valley the 2 seed was beat my Malvern on a neutral court, and Minerva the 8th seed who Malvern beat @ Minerva.Actually I agree with that which is why everyone is saying Malvern have should scheduled up. If Malvern was an average team nobody would criticize the schedule.
