A strong, deep district with no clear cut favorite at this point in time. Lots of head to head matchups before the season is up. Any of these 6 teams are more than capable of winning the district 1. Mansfield Sr. 8-1 1-0 in the district --still has 4 more games vs teams in the district 2. Vermilion 10-2 4-0 in the district--lots of seniors 3. Clear Fork 9-1 3-1 " " "--balanced scoring; consistent 4. Lexington 8-3 4-1 --lots of seniors; lots of postseason experience 5. Norwalk 7-2 3-1--special player in Haraway; should continue to get stronger coming out of football 6. Shelby 7-4 4-2--appear to have come out of their scoring funk. Lots of talent; Hoffman needs to be healthy
Teams that are dangerous, and wouldn't be shocked at all if one of them was playing for a district title 7. Sandusky 4-4 3-3; -- Some really dangerous guards; struggling as a team right now 8. Clyde 5-4 3-2; -- Gone through a tough losing streak but could get it back and will be a tough team in March 9. Perkins 6-5 3-2 -- Started 1-3 but 5-2 since. Playing well. 10. Ontario 5-4 1-3--Injuries have killed them but they still have some talent and a 550 win coach.
Could go up or down a bracket depending on health 11. Bellevue 4-6 2-5 (4-2 with Ruhlman; 0-4 without him)
Teams that have no chance: 12. Galion 3-7 0-3 13. Tiffin 1-8 0-4 14. Edison 1-8 1-2 15. Port Clinton 1-9 0-3

I have not see all these teams play but seen 10 of the 15. I'll use your format to give what I have seen. A strong, deep district with no clear cut favorite at this point in time. Winning this District title may take a team winning 4 solid games against opponents who had studied all their holes.
Any of these 3 teams are more than capable of winning the district 1. Mansfield Sr. 8-1 1-0 in the district --deep bench of athletes and a never give up attitude. 2. Vermilion 10-2 4-0 in the district--experience and energy in a system of chaos 3. Lexington 8-3 4-1 --experience, good size, need help from bench
Any of these 3 teams are more than capable of playing in the district finals. 4. Clear Fork 9-1 3-1 " " "--having fun, limited structure, very confident every night 5. Norwalk 7-2 3-1--very special player, they go as far as he can carry them 6. Shelby 7-4 4-2--talented, can be tough times when coach thinks his kid is only player-maker
Teams that are dangerous, and wouldn't be shocked at all if one of them won a sectional title 7. Sandusky 4-4 3-3; -- good scoring guards, lack flow or team play 8. Clyde 5-4 3-2; -- some talent, capable of upsets come march 9. Perkins 6-5 3-2 -- another coach's kid, no good wins so far 10. Ontario 5-4 1-3--health is a big factor, limited, could end up a .500 team
Teams that have no chance: 11. Bellevue 4-6 2-5 may win some games but not a district 12. Galion 3-7 0-3 13. Tiffin 1-8 0-4 14. Edison 1-8 1-2 15. Port Clinton 1-9 0-3

This puppy is certainly stacked! Ultimately, I chose Norwalk. Why is that boys and girls?

Mansfield Senior is at Lexington Friday night. Senior won at Lex last year by attacking the basket. Can Lex stop Hilory? Can Senior stop Stover? Should be a great game.

Lexington 53 Mansfield Sr. 39
Stover with 20 points for Lex. Hillary held to 7 points for Senior.

Lexington 53 Mansfield Sr. 39 Stover with 20 points for Lex. Hillary held to 7 points for Senior. Hilory had been scoring like a man possessed. I think I read in the paper he had been in double figures in every game this season. I saw the Vermilion coach at this game since he could watch 2 teams that he may face in the tournament.

Beyond the top 5 which I believe any of them can win it there is some real duds in this district...

Every district has a couple duds.

Port Clinton 1-9 0-3 UPDATE: Lex (9-3) has won 8 of 9 including recent fairly comfortable wins vs. Mansfield Sr and Upper Sandusky Norwalk (9-2) has won 7 in a row and have had little resistance the last 3 games including vs. Sandusky and Ashland Mansfield (9-2) has been inconsistent in their scoring lately Vermilion (10-2) haven't played in forever; have some cakewalks coming up with Clyde sprinkled in there
Clear Fork (10-2) dropped a game to Triway but other than that has still been solid-Have Shelby next...good time to have them on the schedule
Shelby (7-6) has dropped off to the second tier for sure...appear to be at a cross roads again struggling without Hoffman...recovered to win 4 in a row earlier, now lost 2 more to RV and Willard, two teams they have more talent than Clyde (7-4) got back on track with 3 cakewalks-we will find out how good they are real soon....Perkins, Norwalk, Vermilion coming up Sandusky (5-4)-Beat Glenville; don't know what that means, but they needed a win Perkins-(7-5)-Beat BG in a non-league game Ontario-(5-5) Dropped a game to Pleasant and had their game vs Bellevue ppd due to snow
Bellevue 4-7 Desperate to get Ruhlman back it seems I haven't really paid attention to Galion, TC, PC and Edison

Since you did for some I wonder if you can do it for all? Can you list who each team would consider as their big wins so far this season? If they have one?

Vermilion's best wins so far are beating Margaretta and Elyria Catholic at home, Sandusky at a neutral site, and at Willard. All solid wins, but nothing earth shattering. They still have to travel to Clyde and Margaretta and face Perkins, Willard, and Clearview at home. The Willard thread should be up to 80 pages or so by the time they meet in early February.
Their two losses were to SPIRE Institute and Lorain, so no matter how far they go this year they won't see a more talented team than two teams they've faced already (except Huron of course), which was the point in scheduling them in the first place.

Looking at the other Madison District teams
Bellevue 4-7, biggest wins Huron, Tiffin Calvert but without Ruhlman they are a different team, tough schedule the rest of the year, maybe 3-4 wins, if Ruhlman gets healthy maybe 5-7 more wins
Galion 4-7, biggest win Buckeye Valley, has a weak OOC(current record of those teams I think is a combined 12-29). I think they will probably win 10 games. will go as far as their shooter will go.
Port Clinton, Tiffin and Edison will be fighting who will not be the lowest seed.

As of Jan 15 seeding should go:
1. Lex 2. Vermilion 3, Senior 4. Norwalk 5. CF 6. Sandusky 7. Clyde The rest don't matter
Thoughts?
OK
8. Perkins 9. Shelby 10. Ontario 10.5 Bellevue 11. Galion 12 Tiffin Columbian 13. Port Clinton 14. Edison

Post by portwalk on Jan 18, 2019 15:19:26 GMT -5
Norwalk has won 8 in a row against several pretty good teams. Tonight they get to avenge their only loss with Haraway in the lineup. They should have won the first contest and I think they roll tonight. The other loss was a week after football ended and no Haraway vs Huron, They really should be undefeated at this point but all their goals are still in front of them

Post by dude on Jan 18, 2019 15:51:45 GMT -5
That's reason I asked about the 2a and 2b. Mansfield had won 9 in a row against a tougher schedule.

At this stage, I think both neck-and-neck, but gave Senior 2a due to little better schedule. On another note, I believe Truckers blow the doors off Clyde tonight. Just a hunch.

Some may argue the Dublin Coffman, Columbus Northland, Whitehall and Shelby are more than just a little better than Huron Keystone, North Ridgeville and South Central. Norwalk 54 Clyde 46

The beauty is both have/get to play same teams. Regardless of semantics, we agree Senior has played an overall better schedule thus far. And no doubt, my prediction didn't come into fruition. I'm just happy with the W.

I'm just happy with the W. All very true. I only wondered why the a and b since Mansfield record was better and had clearly played better teams. The common opponent look to be Madison and Ashland so far and Norwalk is +28 in those two games while Mansfield is +43. So even with common opponents a fan could argue the A and B rankings. No argument from me I was just looking for some details and discussion.

Norwalk is #1 and anything else is uncivilized. Dude gave me the encouragement to post this.
