Well....you can paint that any way you want ETE.  Are there teams that proceeded these that were better....certainly.  Were there teams in the past that were not as good?....the answer there is yes too.  I will say this.....based on what I saw the two best teams reached the region finals and they both played a hotly contested championship game.  I think the possibility exists that one of these two can make the State Tournament playing at their current level.  I know Meigs has several quality wins and Oneida took down mighty Clarkrange at home.  So noth of these two have played some high quality bb at times this year.

You can paint it to suit your orange tinted glasses too. I just believe that the basketball in those two districts were very bad.

They may very well be tinted too orange.  We'll know more by Saturday.....and I make no claim that we are the best teams in the state, but if these two play to the best of their ability they can function pretty well against most teams they play.  How else can you explain Oneida beating Clarkrange?  Ya think they are watered down?

I've heard more than a few proclaim the Lady Buffs will win it all.  Great, if that happens.  I have crossed minds with ETE before.....he sometimes makes arguable opinions, but he is definitely not the expert in every sport.  His comments are somewhat valid, but I don't think they pertain to all the teams in this region.  That championship was played at a high level by two determined teams.

One more thing, about the three pointer at the buzzer. That was exactly the correct call by the official. Look up the rules.....any ball can not be caught and shot with under .5 of a second....it can only be tipped in that instance. There was .2 on the clock which means only a tipped ball would have counted and I'm sure the refs were aware of that beforehand.

Don't want to get in the habit of splitting hairs, but if the clock shows 0.3 or less, it must be a tip (NFHS 5-2-5). The gentleman escorted off didn't understand this and was listening for the horn. As soon as she caught the ball, the official was waving it off. Doesn't matter whether the clock starts or not.

By the way ETE......here is a more subtle observation.  You could also say that coaching was the determining factor in how this region fared.  Several times in this tournament I saw coaches make moves during the game that reflected on the eventual outcome.  Case in point being Oneida's shift from zone back to man late in the fourth quarter which seemed to frustrate and took Meigs out of sync for a bit.  Or both teams scratching their press somewhat to keep their better players in the game.  I recall several people implying that because Sunbright had upset Oneida in the district tournament that their coach should have been coach of the year.  That is hogwash......one game in relation to the whole season.....West just did a better job.....and that disparages Yaden not one bit because he coached his team well too.  I bet both teams acquit themselves very well Saturday.

Oneida over Hampton, I would say by around 10, I think Hampton will struggle to match Oneida's speed. I'm not going to pick between Meigs and South Greene because I have a freshman daughter that plays for Meigs, but I will say this, Meigs has the talent to go in there and win but it's a up hill battle, and I am extremely proud of those girls win or lose, and the future looks bright considering in almost every game this year at some time in the game there was 4 freshmen and 1 seniors on the floor together

Is it just me or was this the most water downed regional girls tournament ever? Nothing against the teams, but they just weren't very good. Average teams at best.

It's called public school basketball, it changes every year. Watered down, that's a slap in the face to all those young ladies. Alot of those teams traveled outside their district during the season and took some wins from several pretty good teams. Remember they are public schools, they play with what comes through the door. You must have a daughter on a team that wins every game every year.

I've seen both SG and Meigs more than once. At SG, the Rebles win by at least 15-20.

 

Hampton @ Oneida, I really have idea. Hampton always plays darn good defense. But their offense is streaky. Sometime it is great, but sometimes they are completely inept offensively.

 

I saw them earlier in the year completely control a game against the #7 ranked AAA team in the state until the final 75 seconds. So they are an extremely capable team. Just not all the time.

After OS played Hampton two years ago when the twins were playing, Hampton played very well. I am picking Oneida by 4 to 6. If the same coach is at Hampton he does a really good job.

Marv will be ready and have some good thing for Hampton

Good Luck Oneida.
