oneida wartburg game was pretty wild halftime it was 42-25 but in the third and early 4th wartburg came back and got it as close as 51-50 but oneida pulled it out and won by around 10.

both of these teams are missing some key things from last year.. greenback is missing a lot of talent and skill from last year.. oneida is missing alot of talent and heart/pride from last year.. i expect oneida to win off of their skill players (which will be a few big plays for td's..if they have to grind it out it will be a very close game, oneida is just to weak in the trenches lost way to much strength from last year)... greenback - 7 oneida - 35

I'll be completely honest with you guys.. i dont think any team in morgan county will be any good this year... Wartburg lost Way to much and shannon and goodman aren't enough to even win the district more less the state?? thats crazy volfan.. Oakdale will surprise a few teams.. But all 3 teams will be trailing Oneida and Oz in the district talent-wise.. Jellico also steps into the district they will be the best team wait and see.. Oz and Jellico will play for the championship in our district.. Wesley Rather for Oz is a beast not to mention Tyler Harper 6'5 probably 300 lbs. . . Morgan County is down this year.

I agree but when you look at the two times these teams played Duncan wore him out when they were against eachother, but i understand what your saying. Both players are good at they do.

I agree with this group more than any, but i think i would rather have one of the two posts from Oneida than Harper, Duncan or Laxton would be a better choice i believe. 2 of the most underrated players in the region. 1. Slusher 2. Pridemore 3. Raby 4. Titlow 5. Carter 6. Bunch 7. Rather 8. Laxton 9. Duncan 10. Sexton 6 guards and 4 bigs. Not to mention everyone of these players can create for themselves.

I said out of all 8 teams man not just the last few that was playing you have 4 kids from OZ on here and 2 of them wouldnt be in the top 15 to 20 in the region.. You have left out players from harriman, sunbright, oneida, greenback, and wartburg.

I think it seems like since they are so close the basketball players go to wartburg and the football players go to coalfield.. i mean look at these programs... wartburg basketball is always good, football is always terrible. coalfield football is usually always good, basketball not always. Plus they are going through a spell where there are not many talented kids coming through their system it will all be better in a few years.

Lets change the subject. Because noones opinion matters in this situation. Out of the 8 teams that were in this tournament to start, if you could have a team of 10 players, any number of them from any team, to represent the Region in games against the other Regions. who would be your 10 guys?

Nobody sees it coming but Oneida will have a good talented group next year... Great freshman class coming up. Not to mention a few upperclassmen suppose to be coming out to play. You have to realize in the 07-08 season Oneida had 7 freshman that could flat out play and about 5 sophomores. All those kids are apparently coming back out to play for Coach Yaden next year. Those will be Seniors and Juniors now. On the other hand the other team in the district that will more than likely win the thing is Jellico they return everybody but 1 and they are a solid group of players.

Does Rockwood just play to the level of their competition or what?? Only beating Sunbright by 11 is not a good sign at all. But in the Grace game they will run OZ to death... Rather is the only thing they have on the perimeter when every guard that grace has can play. Not only that but when you have Harper in the game for OZ if it becomes a running game it is basically 5 on 4 the whole time he is not in very good shape.

If the other 3 games were anything like the oneida grace game they were fantastic.... Other than Grace coming out and destroying the Indians for the first 6 to 7 minutes it was a great game... The end got a little out of hand and the 10 point loss should've actually been 5 or less but a few technicals for the Oneida coach with less than 5.0 to go caused a few more points to get put up than what should've. Great game after seeing this one I believe Grace will win this tournament. I believe they played the toughest one they'll play in the whole tournament tonight. Oneida was a underrated 3 seed. Great win for Grace. Ill pick Grace over OZ by atleast 20 next round, and Wartburg over Rockwood by 4.

the only thing i dont understand about the class shown by grace is that #34 played the whole game im pretty sure... never came out one time i dont think.. but oh well great season hopefully next year things will gel out much better sooner and they'll get things turned around..

Grace would/will run OZ out of the gym... OZ cant match up with 4 guards on the court especially with harper in the game...imo if i was grace id run it up and down if it happens that way

ugly but nice win over jellico

before the tourney what is the top 5 look like now after whats happened the past few nights??

starting 5: jeffers, carson, west, lewallen, duncan. off the bench laxton and slaven pull big minutes... wright and manis get time here and there. scoring wise any of the first 7 can score big any night, just according to who has the hot hand..

nice 20 point call on the grace-oneida game, 97-77 but much closer than score shows, 7 point game with about 4 minutes left.... Grace shot the ball better than any team i think i have ever seen play the game tonight... it was almost unreal. but oneida hung close til the end..... i still believe oneida is closer to them than this score shows though.

Oneida only lost to GC at GC by about 15, it was close til the end... they have won 3 in a row, not to mention up by 20+ on Cumberland Gap in the 4th quarter, backups brung it down to a 15 point game... i dont think your giving them much credit.

Skylar Chambers - sophomore #22 Braxton Hutson - junior #1

Oneida looked better saturday against CG than they have all year... good things are coming along, looking forward to the next few weeks... the first player quit because he just isnt into basketball no more, he was just tired of playing... i believe the last one quit because of playing time and such... both players would get significant playing time anywhere in the region especially since they are both underclassmen. They will be missed but OHS has to put it to the side and continue with the season.

This is coming down a little hard, but for the most part true..... i do believe Oneida has more talent from the 1st to the last man on the bench than anybody in their district, maybe in their region... i also believe Oneida is better than OZ and Wartburg, they beat OZ just once and Wartburg both times last year, and OZ lost i believe 4 guys that got significant playing time, Wartburg returns everybody but 2, Oneida also lost just 2 and got 1 back from injury, so i agree with this statement you have made they should be 1st in the district. . . . . .but that is just my opinion.

How can you rank Wartburg ahead of Rockwood, after they played grace so differently?

oneida kept a steady lead from the end of the 1st on and ended up winnin by about 15 or 17 it was steady right there for most of the game though. oneida is looking better, i think they are gonna make some noise hear soon if everything keeps going in the right direction....

what did everybody think about friday night??..even though the indians lost..they made a 26 point swing from the last time they played cc.. looked alot better than the first time, maybe this is gonna be a catalyst to the rest of the season...things are looking better, only 7 guys played too, could be a sign?

the thing that you say is true, they have been losing to the same teams, but these same teams have lost more from last year than the oneida team, they returned everybody but 2 and picked up one who was injured..... they shouldn't be losing to these teams. /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />
