CIE

No games today.

I'm not sure the Jellico game will be close. The os/wb game will be the game to watch. I think os is just to big for them to match up with and when it comes to the speed of the game, I think os will slow it down and wb does not like to be slowed down and the game will be a low scoring affair. Os wins.

Cf/Oneida - if cf comes into the game thinking they just beat this team a week ago then they may be in trouble. Oneida has a shot it might be bleak but they will come to play. Oneida has nothing to lose. Cf with all that talent has everything to lose especially with the Returning mvp of the tourney last year. Gasp!!

VOL - They also lost to the team that beat them. Not just the coin toss.

could be, but CF has already lost to both Jellico and oakdale twice. Granted they gave away one to oakdale, it still counts as a loss. I have my doubts they can beat both back to back. Just too young to be consistent.... 3 or 4 freshman at times. It's possible, I guess.....but Oakdale and Jellico look like the teams set to get trounced by Grace and Meigs in the region to me. I don't see anyway any team from this district gets past those two.

If I'm not mistaken oakdale played with meigs to the wire in both games. Granted the first game at meigs the score doesn't reflect the play, but oakdale had the lead late in the 4th before Meigs got a couple 3's then foul shots proceeded making the game a 10 point or so win.

The game at oakdale was even closer and meigs escaped with a 5 point win. So saying that both teams get trounced, to me, is saying a little much. There is a reason people pay admission to watch games and that is for one team to play the other team to the final buzzer sounds and then someone is announced the winner.

Everyone has an opinion I suppose. May as well crown district 3 as World Beaters.

Oakdale had a nice win over Coalfield tonight. Is this the first time Oakdale has won the regular season?

If not then it's the first time in 20+ years or more. First time they've been to the region in 19 years.

Sometimes those "skin of their teeth wins" need to happen. if you look at a larger picture and see Kentucky for instance. They should be killing everyone but in some games they are just scathing by. good teams have bad games. Going to be another close one Friday when they play coalfield, it May even be another "skin of their teeth win." those 1 point wins are still wins and you can't take that away from them.

I don't dispute bowlin not being the best overall player. He does deserves the award. Without him that team is nothing.

ZOA, the horrible walk call was a walk. You probably just didn't enjoy seeing the back official blow his whistle and make the right call. The officiating was and has been horrible this entire year. Finally an official stepped up and made a call that he saw, maybe not in his area but the correct call.

As for everyone else that has been bashing oakdale, they probably should've lost to Oneida and maybe OS but those guys have battled their butts off this entire year something that school hasn't done in many years. Almost losing at home might have woke up those Eagles and let them see they can still be beat.
