My event at Troy went over very well, great job by the Troy staff! Unfortunately, I can't be in two places at once, so anyone who was at my event at Madison, please fill us in on how things went.
Jim, what conference is Landmark Christian in?
Tecumseh Arrows- Bianca Quisenberry, 5-8 Junior
v.s.
Landmark Christian Eagles- Celina King, 5-4 8th grade
* This is matchup of the present (Quisenberry, over 1,000 points through 2 years) v.s. the future (King, top 8th grader in Ohio, top 15 in country according to ASGR)
I have never heard of people rating 8th graders, I hope Tom Jenkins isn't in OH, Hoopgurlz doesn't even put them in order until their 10th grade year, that's a little over the top and just shows how crazy this business is getting. Where in the world do the top 15-20 8th graders go play at the same time, a Justin Beaver half time show? I'm in the wrong money making business. I thought that was a typo when I first read it Jim. ASGR needs there licenses revoked, creating 13 year old ego, my goodness!!!
Yadda, yadda, yadda...can we get back on point and discuss the previews. I am most interested in the Madison preview especially Mason and East. Anyone there that can give some thoughts? Thanks.
Landmark Christian is not an OHSAA member. Ths OHSAA prohibits 8th graders from practicing and playing with 9-12 graders.what conference is Landmark Christian in?

Yeah, your good but you lost me on this one if your telling me an 8th graders is one of the Top 15 in the nation. For girls you can't even figure out who they are to know where they are going until at least the 10th grade, you might be doing more harm than good with this one. I never heard anything about Mitchell or Howard being rated as a Top 15 8th grader, for one Howard didn't start to develop until the 10th grade. Like I said, the best in the business to me Hoopgurlz don't start rating until the 10th grade, and I think that's for a very good reason. Considering the score was 30 to 7 after two quarters I don't think you did her any favors Jim, and I hope you didn't affect her confidence looking for a story.
How did this Landmark a non-OHSAA school scoring 7 points get in a legit preview anyway? Nevermind.......
Of the teams at the Madison preview, Mason and Lakota East both looked very good and will have good seasons. Springboro has a nice team but they didn't play very well at this preview. Madison looked very good and has been playing some tough teams in pre-season (Sycamore, Fairmont, Lakota West, Springboro, Minster) and appears to be one of the stronger D-III teams in the area. A lot of nice players at the Madison preview. Very positive event!
I agree, but don't let it bother you. Anyone can put up a web site. I'd ignore this one.That said, it's even worst I just found a 5th grade rankings, what the hell is the basketball world coming to:
