Unfortunately, only fans from the above two schools took the time to submit rosters last year. (Not very good Yappi participation... two outta 18 schools) :Ohno:

I started to delete the seniors, when I noticed... if I deleted the seniors from last year... THERE WOULDN'T BE ANYTHING LEFT. :eek: :eek: :eek:

Edgewood kept EIGHT seniors last year??? Walnut Hills kept TEN??????

Are these two coaches outta their skulls??????? :help:

How do you build a program if you keep that many seniors??? :shrug:

AMAZING.

[eaglepride22]

I understand your point HH but are you suggesting that seniors, who have sacrificed for four years should be cut, even if they are better than an underclassmen simply because they are seniors. That's not right either.

[South Bend Central]

he's saying "roster - wise"...seniors from LAST YEAR!

[eaglepride22]

I know he is and I am referring to his comment that the two coaches must have been out of their skulls to keep that many seniors

[South Bend Central]

sorry, dude, gotcha.

[HoopHound]

I understand your point HH but are you suggesting that seniors, who have sacrificed for four years should be cut, even if they are better than an underclassmen simply because they are seniors. That's not right either.

And I understand your point as well, '22.

My point is that it's impossible to maintain a consistent, high-quality program when you have that many seniors taking up roster space. You penalize juniors and sophies by keeping most of them at the JV level instead of getting at least some varsity PT... and some even off the team!!

This in turn jams the JV with too many juniors which then limits any "special" freshmen" from getting JV PT.... and AGAIN keeps some young potentially good players off the team altogether!!

I would guess that between your Varsity and JV squads, you've probably got a total of 20 or so total roster spots. Keeping 6 spots for seniors is MORE than enough, and allows for 6 juniors, 6 sophies, and maybe a couple exceptional freshmen who'd benefit from JV time.

I perfectly understand the senior loyalty angle... and it's commendable. However, jamming the Varsity with that many seniors only causes roller coaster seasons as well as inconsistancy for the entire program in the long run. That isn't fair to the school as well as it's fans. :shrug:

Running a successful hoops program is MUCH like running a successful major league baseball organization. You need to have lower levels constantly developing talent, and grooming players for eventual top level play. The best organizations have a healthy mix of young players and veterans. Eventually, the veterans retire (like seniors graduating), the young players become the veterans (some sophies & juniors becoming juniors & seniors), and the minor league youngsters (other sophies, and some freshman) move up to AAA (Junior Varsity).

Constant development of different ages at different levels.

Do you see what I mean?

[cincybball03]

the buckeye division will come down to loveland , winton woods, and milford again.

Loveland should win it this year with wozniak and no one will be able to stop capobianco. Winton Woods could give them trouble with their pressure. but with kierre graduating that pressure drops off a bit.

Winton woods- how hard and how good will allen payne play.. who is else gonna step up? They can beat anyoone, but tend sometimes to lose games they shouldn't . I think loveland should be able to beat them with wozniak guardin payne and capo just saggin in the middle preventing payne from getting to the rim

MIlford- probably the weakest of the three teams, but can sneak up on either team. I like their chances of beating winton woods more then lovelands, because bryant isn't big enough to guard capo by himself and then who is gonna guard wozniak? if they three pointers drop for them though they can beat either one. I think if bryant can out play payne they will beat winton woods. the differnce there is mark will have to guard payne , where payne will be able to rest on defense and brown will prolly guard mark.

anderson is next - runk will be a decent player not much else little wilk can shoot if open

glen este and harrison both will be awful this year.

[bearcatjackm]

GE will not win the league by any stretch of the imagination but they will be much improved.

[OSUbucksfan]

what about the cardinal division?

[Clark W Griswold]

I think the Buckeye looks liek this:
1- Loveland
2- WW
3- Milford
4- GE
5- Anderson
6- Harrison

....look for Anderson or GE to surprise and maybe sneak into the top half

[LarryLegend33]

I don't see how you can say GE will sneak into the top half... they might be able to be in the top 5

[XUbball20]

Glen Este will be lucky to win a conference game. Maybe against Harrison :confused:

[LarryLegend33]

Even that might be a stretch

[tucker]

winton woods will end up ahead of loveland. loveland only has two players.

[XUbball20]

winton woods will end up ahead of loveland. loveland only has two players.

True. But two is more than one. Which is what winton woods has, one.

[bearcatjackm]

Like i said earlier, GE will not win the league by any means but they will be much improved. A couple of nice senior guards, and they will get some help from a strong sophmore class. They will win some league games between Anderson and Harrison.

[HoopHound]

True. But two is more than one. Which is what winton woods has, one.

I thought WW had Dominique Brown and Allen Payne back?

[HoopHound]

winton woods will end up ahead of loveland. loveland only has two players.

:confused: The FAVC website shows THREE starters back for Loveland, tuck...
Cobb, Stahl, and Capobianco. Granted, Cap is the stud... but that's 3 starters back from a team that stayed with Princeton (AT Princeton) pretty well in their game back in February. :shrug:

Dominque Brown is back. He only averaged around 4 points per game last year however tho. Payne is the only impact player they have is what i was saying. As loveland as two with wozniak and capobianco.

Yes i was at that game loveland played well. However princeton was losing three of theyre players, two starters due to suspension, one being Orlando Williams, a miami Oh commit.

[baller94]

Here's Wilmington's roster. They have everyone back. Rollins was FAVCC Player of the Year, Berlin was first team and Osterbrock was second team.

Quinten Rollins Jr. G 6'0"
Brandon Arehart Jr. G 6'0"
Nyles Williams Jr. G/F 6'2"
Craig Osterbrock Sr. F 6'3"
Jordan Berlin Jr. G 6'3"
Malcolm Heard Jr. F 6'5"
Kirby Seeger Sr. F 6'3"
Kyle Blakeman Jr. F 6'3"
Jeff Cowan Sr. F 6'5"

what about wozniak?

[HoopHound]

what about wozniak?

That's my point, SBC.

There are WAY more returnees than others have stated.

[gonefishing]

winton woods or loveland wont win the favc this year....tooo much talk about them.

[bearcatjackm]

winton guard play coupled with payne will be to much for loveland to handle

[South Bend Central]

winton woods or loveland wont win the favc this year....tooo much talk about them.

....soooo...who's it gonna be?

[cfscatcher34]

harrison wins it all

hahahaha

[South Bend Central]

maybe Milford will re-surprise.
Cambron is a very good coach, I know some folks dont LIEK him...but he is a good coach, with young taklent

[LarryLegend33]

harrison wins it all

hahahaha

Scratcher puts dumb stuff on yappi.... Harrison will not win the league, but they will not be as bad as people are projecting. They lost basically everything from last years team, but some young talent could surprise some people

[LarryLegend33]

maybe Milford will re-surprise.
Cambron is a very good coach, I know some folks dont LIEK him...but he is a good coach, with young taklent

Milford should be decent... they got Bryant who in my opinion was better than Baker last year, and they also have some solid young players

[XUbball20]

Milford will be decent. They're only downfall will be size and experience. They only return 2 full time varsity players from last year team, Bryant (6'5) and Kohler (5'8). Size-wise theyre tallest player is Bryant being 6'5, with second tallest only being 6'2 or 6'3.

Size differences could cause problems for them against Loveland with Capobianco and Woznaik, and even Stahl. However milfords gaurd play is better than Loveland's in my opinon.

Could someone give us a idea of who will even be on Harrison or Glen Este's roster this year. I dont know if i can name one player on either.

Harrison's only returning player that played on varsity will be Justin Foley (6'3)... Senior Josh Dugan may be back this season, he was on varsity as a sophomore, but didnt try out as a junior, but who knows about that... and a handful of junior varsity players from last season are going to need to step up, Juniors Coty Foley, Cameron Guilfoyle, and Alex Grant, and sophomores Kyle Kinnett and Ryan Lamping.... there are also some pretty solid freshman, but i havent seem them play much dont know how good they are, so i dont know what team theyll be on

[bearcatjackm]

GE has 3 yr. varsity player McCalla at guard, Brinson is senior guard who can shoot, Kraus is senior forward, Wesp is junior forward who played as soph., Lehr is senior guard. they have a strong soph. class that will help out as well.

[XUbball20]

GE has 3 yr. varsity player McCalla at guard, Brinson is senior guard who can shoot, Kraus is senior forward, Wesp is junior forward who played as soph., Lehr is senior guard. they have a strong soph. class that will help out as well.


McCalla is the best player they have. Who only averaged 8.8 ppg last season. Which does not compare to the other team's best players (Bryant, Capobianco, Payne, even Runk). The rest of the players you mentioned did little to almost nothing last year from what I can tell.

If Glen Este hopes to win more than one conference game this year, they will need more than McCalla and a weak supporting cast.

[bearcatjackm]

I didn't compare McCalla to the best players in the league, you asked who is on their roster and i gave you a recap. Also, I didn't say they were going to compete for league title. I will say that they will be an improved team from last year, they will win at least a few league games this year. They are in the second year of a new coach and he has got them going in the right direction. They will be more than competitive when this soph. class are seniors. Until then, it will be a work in progress.

[freakdeak99]

I know this sounds funny, but watch out for Walnut Hills. New coach, a few new players and some promising junior high schoolers coming in as frosh. (Next season) Should be interesting.

[Eagle Eyes]

I know this sounds funny, but watch out for Walnut Hills. New coach, a few new players and some promising junior high schoolers coming in as frosh. (Next season) Should be interesting.

That does'nt sound funny at all. Walnut will easily be in the top five of the entire 18 team FAVC this year and are very young. They should be a force for the next 3 to 5 years....if everyone stays !

[Eagles21]

Talking to a couple of Milford players, (Mark and Robbie), they think that the team will be surprisingly good this year. Everyone of the starters can shoot, and run. Granted they won't have Criswell or Host, but they should still be able to outgun teams. The starters will likely be

Rob Kohler
Zach Baker
Wes Minton
Justin Cellars
Mark Bryant

[Deeeeeeeee]

Walnut Hills should have a deep and skilled team, their JV team which consisted of almost all sophomores last year won 17 or 18 games. They also received transfer Evan Yates from Princeton, and return two starters in Sophomore Alex Mcglothin (10 ppg) and Senior Miles Bankston (5 ppg), their squad should look something like this

Brandon Howard Jr G 5'10
Shawn Melton Jr G/F 6'1
Alex Mcglothin So F 6'3
Miles Bankston Sr F/C 6'5
Evan Yates Sr F/C 6'6
Paul Warren Jr G/F 6'3
Benson Browne So F/C 6'5
Tim Price Jr F/C 6'4
Phil Akanbi So F 6'3
Miles Crawley So G 5'11
Josh Livingston Sr G 6'0

They have much more size than in the past few years, 3 guys 6'5+ and 7 guys 6'3+, it will be tough to bang with them for 4 quarters

[nordy]

Any sleepers teams this year? Maybe better than last year.

[OSUbucksfan]

kings could possibly a sleeper

[gonefishing]

what does kings have coming back,

[trojans11]

nobody believes in glen este... they might not win the conference but i think they will do good

[trojans11]

Like i said earlier, GE will not win the league by any means but they will be much improved. A couple of nice senior guards, and they will get some help from a strong sophmore class. They will win some league games between Anderson and Harrison.



GE doesnt have much size but they have decent guards... but i dont think the guards are good enough to carry the team the whole season

[cincykid23]

why is no one giving glen este credit? they are definitely going to shock some people this year. mccalla is one the best athletes in the city and not many people can guard him, brinson is in great shape and is goin to be a very tough player, once he gets goin you cant stop him. expect more mid 20 to 30 point games. he dropped 30 on anderson last year. hes goin to be getting a lot more play time. and down low they have brent kraus and curt wesp and both can jump outa the gym. so just keep an eye out for glen este. they will definitely shock some people. they lost to brookehaven (number 3 team in the state) by 7 at a tourney at xavier in the summer. they have a tough scrappy group. i think they will break into the top half definitely

What do you think McCalla has on Glen Este that can give him any chance to be able to go point to point with the best players in the buckeye divison and give his team a chance to win? Looking at the stats from last season it is not even close, glen este might be improved but i do not think mccalla has enough to lead glen este and be able to go point to point with anyone else's best player in the conference

Allen Payne... No
Bobby Capobianco...No
Mark Bryant....No
John Runk even...No
Harrison's best player (whoever that might be)...Maybe.

[trojans11]

about time someone agrees with me that GE will be a suprise in FAVC... if mcalla and brinson get goin good luck trying to stop them.. and there is a kid named nate bromagen he played JV last year and he was about the only really good kid on the team but idk if he is playing for school at all this year... i talk to him sometimes and he said he will prolly play rec

[gonefishing]

how good is John Runk?

[Clark W Griswold]

Runk is oretty solid.
Does a lot of dirty work
good team player

[bearcatjackm]

Runk is a solid player, prolly AHS's best, and GE will be looking for some help from a solid soph class, I don't think the Bromagen kid is playing. I think AHS has a soph point guard. Is Brunner playing hoops this yr?

[tucker]

who are the top coaches in the favc?

[Clark W Griswold]

Don't know how really strong the buckeye is...but Cambron is a preety darn good one.

[gonefishing]

GE's coach does a pretty good gob with what he has.

[XUbball20]

Partin and Cambron are good. Gillespie, NO. With that talent he should be making deep tournament runs every year not losing in the first and second rounds every year.

Does Capobianco have POY wrapped up already or does anyone have a chance of catching up?... In my oopinion its his already

[Eagle Eyes]

Best team in the league....Wilmington. Sleeper team....Walnut Hills. Will/should surprise a lot of people this year.

[eaglepride22]

Agreed. Wilmington is exceptionally well rounded and can score in many different ways. Likewise, Rollins is probably the best player you have never heard of, but you soon will. The sky is the limit for Walnut, you will be amazed at how big they are. One of the biggest non-GCL teams I have seen so far this summer and fall.

[nordy]

:Party: I'm just going to say it. GO NORWOOD!!!!!!!!
We are going to win some games this year.

[skins99]

Runk is a solid player, prolly AHS's best, and GE will be looking for some help from a solid soph class, I don't think the Bromagen kid is playing. I think AHS has a soph point guard. Is Brunner playing hoops this yr?

Has Wilkinsons little brother developed?

[tucker]

did glen este lose a couple of players to amelia?

[OSUbucksfan]

what does kings have this year?

[BuckeyeFan17]

I dont understand why people think loveland's guard play is so weak. Wozniak, who last time i checked was pretty good, plays two and will do a lot of the ball handing. I know people are worried about the point guard position but there are three people competing for the job. One of them will likely step up, and if not i think the team will be just fine with four starters over 6'3'', and every single one of them at least 190. Just try to beat them on the boards.

[Clark W Griswold]

did glen este lose a couple of players to amelia?

I dont think either guy was slated to get PT at Glen este

[South Bend Central]

I dont think either guy was slated to get PT at Glen este

the one kid transferred in the middle of football season, can't be eligible to play any sport this school year at Amelia...once the 1st day of school begins, you are out of luck if you wanna switch schools.

[trojans11]

Runk is a solid player, prolly AHS's best, and GE will be looking for some help from a solid soph class, I don't think the Bromagen kid is playing. I think AHS has a soph point guard. Is Brunner playing hoops this yr?

i asked nate if he was playing for the school team this week and he said that he wasn't.... he will most likely be out the first week of baseball to....

[THSports]

Defiently Wilmington out of the Cardinal. Quentin Rollins is one of the better basketball players in the FAVC, last year he put up 28 or something points on Andy Cruise, our best defensive player. I say when he is a senior he is going getting some major D1 offers if he stays healthy and gets a little bigger

[THSports]

AHS really Wilkison isn't starting at point guard? I think the sophmore your thinking of is Matt Greer too.

[cincykid23]

if im not mistaking brinson from glen este put up 30 against anderson on andersons court last year. i believe they tried 2 or 3 different defenders and they couldnt stop him. once again..watch out for brinson and mccalla. two great players that are hard to defend

[XUbball20]

if im not mistaking brinson from glen este put up 30 against anderson on andersons court last year. i believe they tried 2 or 3 different defenders and they couldnt stop him. once again..watch out for brinson and mccalla. two great players that are hard to defend

Ya he did score 30 against them. and Mccalla had 10. But they still lost to anderson, a very weak team who only won 2 conference games.

Glen Este is gonna need way more than these two. In the favc-buckeye they need a go to post player. that's what theyre lacking that every other team has (except harrison). The gaurds i dont think are gonna put them over the top

[Jackpot15]

kings should be good team this year..going with them as a sleeper..even with a tough schedule...Derrick Harris is the truth

[LarryLegend33]

Talking to a couple of Milford players, (Mark and Robbie), they think that the team will be surprisingly good this year. Everyone of the starters can shoot, and run. Granted they won't have Criswell or Host, but they should still be able to outgun teams. The starters will likely be

If Justin Foley plays, Harrison will have a go to post player

[OSUbucksfan]

what else does kings have besides derrick harris

[tucker]

larry,
wasn't host the starting point guard last year as a sophomore? why would he not be playing?

[XUbball20]

The fact that Criswell and Host aren't playing HELPS the team


I agree. One of the reasons milford lost 4 in a row to end the season last yr was partly because they "just werent into it"


How tall is justin foley? did he play last yr?

[CoUgArS]

Xavier Fugate is one of the better players in the FAVC if not the best.

[gonefishing]

i saw the shot he hit against lakota west last year. he's pretty good. the best may be streching it...top three yes

[XUbball20]

i saw the shot he hit against lakota west last year. he's pretty good. the best may be streching it...top three yes

I think top 3 is a stretch even..

[LarryLegend33]

How tall is justin foley? did he play last yr?


Foley is about 6'3, and he played limited last year because the team was so senior oriented

[LarryLegend33]

larry,
wasn't host the starting point guard last year as a sophomore? why would he not be playing?

I'm just going by what was said in an earlier post that him and Criswell weren't playing... Neither palyer does anything on the offensive end, so this will not hurt Milford

[biscuitinthebasket]

All the teams in the FAVC have one maybe two good players but no one can touch loveland as a team. With 6 seniors who all got varsity time last year and a 7th who moved in and is a talented guard they are the outright favorite to win the league.

Yes they should be the favorite, but I think Winton Woods will definitley give them trouble, I like Winton Woods this year

[Eagle Eyes]

The top 4 teams in the conference this year will be Wilmington, Winton Woods, Loveland and (yes) Walnut Hills. Everyone else will be also rans !!!!

[nordy]

Are there any scrimages set up yet?

[South Bend Central]

how about Talwanda....do they return much besides their center?

[biscuitinthebasket]

no way walnut is in the top 10.

[Eagle Eyes]

no way walnut is in the top 10.

Trust me....They will be there. They have size, speed and most importantly depth at every position. If the new coach lets them play, they will surprise alot of teams this year.

[Coach Max]

I heard that Mt. Healthy is going to have a great season, i also know that they have there whole team back from last year. What do you think? Can they win the scarlet Div.?

[tucker]

coach max,
how many games did they win last year? having all of your players back is only good if they can play or they got a lot better.

[HoopHound]

ATTENTION FAVC FANS...

The forum is still looking for volunteers willing to report scores for all games involving FAVC teams. This would involve entering the scores into a database that Yappi is designing right now.

Each score would take no more than about 8 or 10 seconds (a couple mouse clicks... and a few keystrokes) to enter into the schedule/results tables.

Doing this service would be a HUGE help to the forum, and will create a tremendous reference resource for ALL of us... both during the season AND in the off-season as well!!

This could be done by one poster, or a couple posters working in cooperation with each other. If you utilize and enjoy this forum, it's a great opportunity to "give something back" and show your gratitude.

CAN I COUNT ON ANY FAVC POSTERS TO LEND A HAND???

[LarryLegend33]

You can count on me for every Harrison score

[vnerone02]

il split up the favc with somebody

[XUbball20]

I'll have Milfords. We can also just go to favcsports.com and go to boys basketball and check the scores there.

[HoopHound]

I'll have Milfords. We can also just go to favcsports.com and go to boys basketball and check the scores there.

That's the point, XU... all we're looking for is to transfer the scores from the favc site into Yappi's sked/results tables after they happen.

The FAVC would be EASY to do... that's why I'm not sure why it's seems so difficult for one of you to step up. :shrug:

This ain't brain surgery... just entering some scores.

You're just helping to make the Yappi site better than it already is. :)

[wearethewoods]

We got Harrison, Winton Woods, Milford, Loveland, Glen este, and anderson. The warriors lost three players and might have a little trouble at the guard position but i think they can win another FAVC title. What is everyone's input?

[marvin4prez]

winton woods looked really good in middletown for the scrimmages last sat. athletic, a little small, but overall, played great. i'm sure they'll have some carry overs from football that will help them out. i can see them challenging loveland if they have an answer for the big fella.

[Clark W Griswold]

I think WW qb is playing....nice athlete, real nice.
We'll see who Anderson b rings out...I liek their guards.
Milford returms an interesting group
Ge returns some decent players
Harrison loses their big scorer
Loveland , I think, is the slight favorite over the 'woods.

BUT I think it's a league where we can see an upset ANY night of the week...each team has the athletes to pull one off.
might be an exciting year

[Clark W Griswold]

Milford will be decent. They're only downfall will be size and experience. They only return 2 full time varsity players from last year team, Bryant (6'5) and Kohler (5'8). Size-wise theyre tallest player is Bryant being 6'5, with second tallest only being 6'2 or 6'3.

Size differences could cause problems for them against Loveland with Capobianco and Woznaik, and even Stahl. However milfords gaurd play is better than Loveland's in my opinon.

Could someone give us a idea of who will even be on Harrison or Glen Este's roster this year. I dont know if i can name one player on either.

is there an accurate account of what MILFORD players actually quit?

[XUbball20]

The two that quit were the starting point gaurd in Zach Host and the starting 3 gaurd in Curtis Criswell. Both were to be seniors this year.

[LarryLegend33]

That will help the Eagles offensivley

Should have some roster updates by now, and how are the teams looking in scrimages??

[Eagle Eyes]

FYI: Walnut Hills was 4-1-1 against Newport Central and Seven Hills and 4-2 against Roger Bacon and Fairfield. Play Western Hills and Xenia this weekend.

[tucker]

why would kids quit before their senior year? something missing there.

[nordy]

Does anyone know anything about Norwood's new coach and how things are going??

[South Bend Central]

Anyone know anything about Allen Payne's status on WintoN Woods?

[GotNext]

His status? Allen is a lot stonger than last year. 6'7 Jr. lefty (nice) high B-ball IQ. Healthy! Is that what you are looking for?

[LarryLegend33]

Any projected starting lineups?

[XUbball20]

Milford

Robbie Kohler
Wes Minton
Zach Baker
Justin Cellars
Mark Bryant

This is very unstable from what I know though. Because Robbie Kohler has been out with a knee injury so the starting line up shifts around.

[chosen one]

Walnut Hills

Brandon Howard
Shawn Melton
Miles Bankston
Alex McGlothin
Tim Price/Evan Yates

[gonefishing]

[South Bend Central]

[Eagle Eyes]

Loveland Projected Starting Lineup:

5- Capo 6'9" Sr.
4- Cobb 6'4" Sr.
3- Stahl 6'4" Sr.
2- Wozniak 6'6" Sr.
1- Kyles 5'9" So.


As for scrimmages, it has taken some adjusting not having Bobby in the lineup, but the Tigers finally performed well this weekend beating springboro lebanon and elder and losing in a tight one to aiken.

what are the scores? is elder any good this year

[LarryLegend33]

Harrison beat Clark last night 4-2 or 5-1 not for sure

[XUbball20]

Has the Pre-season conference outlook for the FAVC been released yet?

I usually see it on cincinnati.com but I haven't this year....

[BuckeyeFan17]

Dont know the scores, was not there. But I was wrong on the people they played. No Spingboro, rather it was Newark

[BuckeyeFan17]

Loveland Bench:

More Size on the bench, along with some role players.

Haman 6'4" Jr. Most likely 6th man will spell cobb and stahl
Engel 6'2" Jr. Extremly athletic, great slasher. will play some PG
Stanley 6'2" Sr. Solid can play any guard position, defensive specialist
Russel 6'1" Sr. silky shooter, moves well without the ball
Wilmes 5'8" Sr. scrappy defensive guy
Frazier 6'3" Jr. depth in frontcourt
Mullens 6'1" Jr. depth in frontcourt

[lineman4life]

Talawanda will win the scarlet, hands down for the second straight year. They bring back to much and picked up way too much for the rest of the division to handle.

G-Darryl Wallace, jr. 6'
G-Drew Ritcher, sr. 5-10'
F-Aaron Napier, sr. 6-2'
F-Zach Strack,sr. 6-3'
F- Josh Claytor sr. 6-7'(4 year starter)

[OSUbball01]

anyone know how turpin looks???

[irishballa34]

Anyone know how teams around the favc did in thier first games?

[XUbball20]

Milford beat turpin 69-50. Justin Cellars and Mark Bryant led the eagles with 13 pts a piece. The eagles had 5 players score in double figures.

Loveland lost to Fairfield 56-60. Brian wozniak led the tigers with 13 pts.

Harrison also lost to Taylor 53-45. Glen Este got blown-out by Mason as well.

[lineman4life]

talawanda went 18-5 last year, won the scarlet in convincing fashion by stomping edgewood by 40+ pts. at home. and they are bringing back a stud in the middle, Josh Claytor. Heres there starters as of last night against Badin. They lost 57-50.

G-Bill Moloney,so.5'6
G-Darryl Wallace,jr.6'
G-Drew Ritcher,sr.5'10
F-Aaron Napier,sr. 6'2
C-Josh Claytor,sr. 6'7

lineman... any way that you can post the rest of their roster? The "form" you did the above in would be perfect!!

[CoUgArS]

I would'nt put it past the cougars to sneak past Talawanda and win the scarlet again. Its going to be tough to stop Fugate.

Who does Edgewood have other than Fugate.. i know they lost a bunch of seniors last year

Loveland lost without Capobianco.. who knows what they are going to do when they get him back

[LarryLegend33]

they probably beat Fairfield, but won't matter against Princeton

[XUbball20]

they probably beat Fairfield, but won't matter against Princeton

hints the 90 -50 final score

[LarryLegend33]

hints the 90 -50 final score

anyone know how woz did in this game?

[Cougars12]

He got into foul trouble early, that all i heard from a friend

[BuckeyeFan17]

Is playing point guard which doesn't really allow him to get in the offense much and that was very apparent in the game against the vikings. Foul troublem wan't too much of a concern, but he just didn't really get into the rythm of the game all night. He finished in the single digits for points

[lineman4life]

Talawanda's Bench, lacks real expeirence but lots of young talent.

G-Taylor Bucher,jr.#3 (limited time last year, 6th or 7th man off bench)
G-Josh Driscol,jr.#33 (swing player mostly, leading scorer on JV)
G-Kody Wilhelm,fr.#43 (swing player,fair amount of varsity time)
G-Josh Wright,sr.#23, (good leadership off bench)
G-Phillip Bennet,jr.#2 (mostly JV swing guy)
F-Marshall Newman,so.#45 (swing player)
F-Zach Strack,sr.#42 (good size off the bench,6'4)
F-Alex Calhoun,sr.#31 (not much play time)

with claytor and wallace scoring 25 a piece the bench will have to step up big time if one of those guys goes down.

[lineman4life]

Who does Edgewood have other than Fugate.. i know they lost a bunch of seniors last year

yeah but they have no one besides fugate, he can't play defense on claytor and wallace. I expect it to be just like last year when we had LaGarde. Edgewood had no answer for both of them. Fugate is a stud, but he can't win the game by himself. The game at talawanda showed this pretty clearly when fugate went down with a wrist injury. We won 75-48

[hardwork08]

there are 3 undefeated teams left in the FAVC who will lose first...

[stayflyyy22]

Milford guard Rob Kohler has some sort of sprained ankle. No idea when he will be back but he was on crutches at school today.

[South Bend Central]

thats too bad

[Cougars12]

is he out Friday?

[XUbball20]

is he out Friday?

Not sure. He is out wednesday against Goshen for sure. Wes Minton is also recovering from an ankle injury as well as Justin Cellars...not sure if they will play either, Leaving milford with 3 starters out possibly.

Have to agree with ya. Cougars dont have a legitimate one two punch
at all. X is a stud but without some consistant help they will not fair well
against very solid teams. As usual......They will have a good yr. then get
bounced fairly easy come playoff time...as will other teams in their div.

[BBallHoops]

They play Ross on Friday according to the FAVC website. Now that game could be interesting. I scouting Ross playing Little Miami (actually scouted both teams) and Ross lost a lot from last seasons team. They did of course play great defense but struggled at times scoring the ball. I have a ton of respect for the Ross coach and I am sure they will be "in" the game. Could be a good one though.

[Cougars12]

Not sure. He is out wednesday against Goshen for sure. Wes Minton is also recovering from an ankle injury as well as Justin Cellars...not sure if they will play either, Leaving milford with 3 starters out possibly.

Do we have any new updates on Kohler about Friday?

[tucker]

how did goshen's 7 footer do against milford?

[XUbball20]

how did goshen's 7 footer do against milford?

He had 12 points and 6 rebounds. He had a couple offensive putbacks but that was about it

[hardwork08]

how is the league looking? who looks good who looks bad

[XUbball20]

how is the league looking? who looks good who looks bad

In the Buckeye Divison Milford is 3-0 in the conference as well as Loveland.
Winton Woods is 2-1 with the one loss coming to Milford in Overtime

[stayflyyy22]

Robbie Kohler will be starting against anderson on friday, he played against northwest for about 12 or 13 minutes and had 13 points i believe.
