I don't know how it's been this year, but Oneida got more calls on the road than on their homecourt last year. I doubt this is the truth.

Wartburg is very strong at home. See them at Oneida last year, they lost only to win at their place by 30. Perhaps the reason they never made it to state is because they are not comfortable outside of their gym. See the district tournament last year. They played exceptionally well, but ended up losing in the 2nd round of the playoffs, only one round further than Oneida made it. They have to play on the road like they do at home to make it to state, and they have to find some shooting from the outside. Shannon didn't make a shot outside of the lane, but he didn't have to. Will he be able to do that all season against better defenders? I doubt it. He's gonna end up getting beat up and possibly injured with all the hits he takes and that maybe what happened to him last year. Did his performance slack off in the region tournament? It wouldn't surprise me if it did. Will it this year? More than likely if his teammates don't stop getting technicals when they shouldn't. Wartburg can be very good, but some particular players think they are better than what they actually are and get dumb techs. Wartburg cannot win with Melton on the bench. He needs to learn to control his anger and use it, not take it out on people. He's good, but he could be great if he can calm down in some situations. If they can avoid injuries and stay humble, they could be very good. Will this happen? We will see.

Wow, amazing.

They're a 1A team...and CY you might want to watch your mouth with those Coalfield boys and their needles

Both Coalfield and Oneida make the playoffs nearly every year. Oneida missed this year and Coalfield 2 years ago. Both before their most recent miss were in it for 14 straight in one of the Top 2 or 3 toughest regions in the state. Cloudland had its first competition in the region in years when Hampton dropped down this year.

Coalfield by 15.

Wouldn't say that, they haven't played a quality oppenent yet. Theyhavent even played anybody in their region yet. What this team lacks in experience at winning, they almost make up for with their athleticism and toughness. They should beat OS by 20 but that definately does not put them in the same boat as Fulton by any means. When they beat an AE, AC, or a Fulton then I will believe that they belong with those teams. Wesley Smith is a beast, JT aint too bad either.

Greenback by a lot...I don't think they have slipped near as far as most people do. They will come out and rock the Tigers.

Look for number five for the orange and white to have another big game in Morgan County, he dropped a couple of passes against MC that would have been TDs with his speed, but this week he'll be back with 2 TDs. Now for my Ole Ball Coach going to Coalfield is a little dissapointing but I guess he HAD to have a job . Good luck to both teams but the ORANGE and WHITE by 8.

I thought it was surprising to see the older Shannon get MVP. He had a good game against Oneida, but I thought D.J. or Vespie shopuld have got MVP. Jeremy looked a little slow at first aginst Rockwood but played a better second half. I thought any of these three could have been MVP, but I thought the younger Shannon deserved with the way he stepped up.

My question is why start this thred, do you think coach west will get on here and say you know i should listen to this person that is not there every day, never took a team to state, never sent girls to play ball in college, and never won a coach of the year award. he is a student of the game, and knows more about the game and spends more time thinking about the game than me and who ever is hating ever will. yell at at a sr. for screwing up or even a jr. but how do you think a sophmore responds to that, and the last time i checked sophmores make up about 4/5 of the starting line up. be ready to put your foot in your mouth when he has the best team in the state next year.

This isn't a farely even matchup. Oneida played the worst game in a few years at Oakdale and it won't happen again.

I don't think anyone saw this coming. AC must have played some pretty good D and boxed out well. I think Scott will get through this though, they're too good not to.

I can't remember the exact year i think 1998 a very good oneida team lost to oakdale and came back and went to the final four in the state tourney so there is always hope. i do agree that loss hurt us mentaly, it was embarassing very embarassing, but i also know that the oneida boys know that they are the best team in the district if they play. they have a great coach, athletes out the rear, and nine senoirs. we need to prove ourselves because we haven't gave anybody a reason to believe in us yet. IT IS COMING.

I think oneida has gotten over the loss to Oakdale becuase the game after Oakdale was Wartburg and we won but i do think this will be a huge test for Oneida. it will be a good game to watch and will be close.

I don't know but i do know it's basketball season and a thread about oneida and york, sory we did not invite anyone from scott high maybe next time, but i doubt it.

once again i would like to thank a scott high student for putting your insightful input on an oneida thread. You obviously know alot about the game and as much as i know you want us to nobody from oneida is going to get on your thead and talk bad about you, do your fellow students a favpr and quit makeing them look bad. tha game the other night was a game we should have won, not because of the refs, or coaching, but because we had the lead in the fourth and made three strait turnovers. If we could just play good basketball down the stretch we would have won almost all of our games, and unlike last game ledbetter played o good game and he hurt us.

I agree, Oneida didn't do what they needed to do and rockwood played a good game, so it was not a good combo and the score was a result of that, but i also believe that rockwood saw that it could go the other way, oneida is a solid team and will prove it friday.

This one will be a game to watch. Two good coaches two good teams.

wouldn't want to be coalfield tonight...that's just how i feel

wow this is like a huge cyber hug.... i want in

i haven't looked over the whole thred so i don't know if some one has mentioned the guy from cosby. he is number 24 and i can't think of his name but i saw him hit 6 threes in the first quarter, and had 24 points at the end of that quarter.

Hey Oneida was up at half and had flat out, out played York for 3/4ths of the game. There is a reason Ledbetter didn't do much in the first half, it's called defence. If i was as big and athletic as him and i only scored 14 against a single A team i wouldn't consider it a good game, exspecailly if i took as many shots as he did. he is a good player but i think tends to be lazy. and to the guy that made the cheap seat comment, I'v been to York and i wouldn't be talking. I realize this was only one persons comment so to the people of York i'm not hateing, i respect York and it will be a good game down there.

Hmmm.... when were these oneida vs scott games...i pretty sure they have only scrimaged once in the last probably ten years and it was a very close scrimage, no one knows who won we didn't keep score, but go ahead and keep posting it's kinda funny....i'm pretty sure scott high students don't want you to post, your making them look bad.

Could you put up 33 against anybody? Survey says..... NO.
