Stopped playing football after sophomore year.
Toledo City League
- Thread starter MacMen22
- Start date
Beat me to it, not that this team would need another PG, but I loved how Leroy Alexander played. How about a Towbridge type just for setting a memorable screen or two?In that case give me an order of Drew Lehman, Brian Roberts, William Buford, Nigel Hayes, and Zach Hillesland (someone has to do the dirty work - and he can run). Perhaps a side order of Nate Miles minus the transfer bug.John Floyd just to make it rain.
Am told there is a young Nate Miles looming out there. Told he is pretty darn good too.
I'm hearing the same and at the same time I hear the kid will really be good, as long as his dad stays out of his ear and that's sad.

I had Towbridge in the Hillesland slot at first. When I think of how bad basketball has gotten in the area I think about how guys like Keith, who was certainly good, would absolutely dominate today.
Back from the grave to give respect to the city league for getting two teams into regional action. Good luck to both Start & Rogers this week. I know the area is down on talent, but Coach Wortham still grinds away and gets the most out of every kid. Much respect to him. Can Rogers beat Shawnee?? Let’s hear some predictions.

I think Rogers may get another win. Talent-wise they should have a chance to win their region.
Start has probably hit the end of the road unless Wortham can work some magic. Regardless, it's been a great season for them.

Too hard to compare across state. Not giving Rogers past Parma until it's done. Parma did to their district what Rogers did. Holy name was charging up the Cleveland top 25, so no joke there. Encouraged that turn-around against Sandusky though. Looks like they figured things out but can't help wondering, Start has more PG than they need and Rogers more talls. Too late to swap a couple?
My mind can't see the match-ups against Lima well enough to say Start has an advantage on quick. Lima's kids are not slow. Start has to find the range quickly I think.
Definitely can get to UT. Hoping I can get to Bugs.

Their length really bothered Sandusky. The Streaks hit shots against Rossford and got to the rim all night. They were barely catching iron against Rogers.
The bench guys, though...jacking up 35 footers as soon as they came in.
Just saw a release from OHSAA that they will probably limit spectators to immediate families. Virus, ya know.

Good for The Blade for not caving into just having a TRAC kid on the team. Local TRAC talent, outside of LS, is at an all time low.Meet the 2020 All-Blade boys basketball team
