Obviously there's another side to the story, but how is Clear Fork going to do better than him given the way he was fired?

I think an issue is the fact that basketball only plays 5 players, rotation of 8 or 9, and for a lot of kids, they see that they won't get onto a varsity court so they aren't going to go through such a long season without ever getting to play a serious role. Many schools are offering more sports...

Galion is open. Shani Rush has resigned per twitter

Guessing that would reflect the generally declining population in the state.

MCGAL--great post. Lots and lots of great players in Ohio, and those three stood out. All deserving. Greenday--one possible solution is to wait and do the voting after the tournament. I'm not sure I see the logic in these awards being regular season awards. The tournament separates players and...

Wow...any insights on this?

Zach Fleer of 270 hoops is crying a river. It's really time for all these media types to be objective in their voting though. Everyone is just hyping up the local kids without seeing the whole field. Example--Kettering Alter had ONE player get all state recognition, on 3rd team. They lost one...

KK Bransford was named D1 player of the year today on the official ballots. BIG RUSS GONNA BE PISSED (if you know, you know)

Central Ohio... Cardington-Lincoln (already hired asst coach) Scioto Olentangy Hilliard Bradley Pick North

This is 100% correct. Alter was the better team that night, but they were clearly the two best teams in the state. With Badin close behind them.

I'm not trying to be upset, don't really have skin in the game but yes, they missed a travel and an over and back on that last Sheridan possession, but I think maybe it worked out in Norton's favor that they didn't call it and just got the turnover. Again, missed free throws were really the...

It was very close but I don't think the scoreboard clock means anything. I don't think any replay was really definitive; whatever they called on the floor should have stood IMO. I don't know if you're saying that Norton's best 3 players played "well below average" in this game but I would beg to...

Also, I've seen some video with the ball being released on that buzzer beater pretty much simultaneously as buzzer went off. Hard to believe they overturned the call after looking at it for like 2 seconds (much respect, Big Ten refs would have looked at it for an hour). It was a fantastic...

That was a great game but Alter is prohibitive favorite in my mind. I wasn't surprised at all by their semi-final beatdown.
