I was more non impressed with Lex. Stover had zero help. So many missed layups or 3 foot shots by his team mates. Ontario is down from previous years too I'd say.

The Ontario win over Lex is an upset other than that 3 of the top 4 seeds remain. Only a minor one in Sandusky over Shelby. Can Ontario finally win a D2 District that would be a big deal Joe is 0 for how many... The .500 team that tied for 4th and 5th in the MOAC beating the 8-2 2nd place finisher in the SBC Lake is only a "minor upset"?? You just PO'd everyone from SBC land by saying that. Or maybe you weren't aware of what you admitted to. Ontario win a District Title?? This is a .500 team if not for Balogh being able to do more with less than any coach in this part of the State. How would Norwalk have done this year if TWO 6-4 guard/foward starters couldn't play at all? Thus a 6-4 bench player becomes a starter, but played less than half the games due to an injury. Because of that injury. a 6-3 bench player that missed 2 years due to knee injuries becomes a starter. The most likely first guard off the bench breaks the same elbow TWICE since last basketball season. Someone that comes off bench only plays the first 11 games of the season due to being an Open Enrollment student. Even though Norwalk has had their share of injuries the past couple of years. That's decimation in comparison. Try to imagine.... Norwalk this season.... Harrawy, but no Chapin and Lacey, missing 4 bench players due to 2 having to replace Chapin and Lacey and 2 more with injuries.

Stover was great this year, but Lex couldn't find anyone to replace what their 2 graduating guards from last year, Givand and Kearns, brought to their Final Four team. You're right about Ontario, just an "average" team this year. Injuries and issues.

Not impressed with either My complaint with the officiating is why do the officials put up with Balogh's toddler tantrums? All you have to do is T him up and you won't have to put up with it the rest of the game. Grown men getting bullied into making calls by a red faced screamer. Sadly after his theatrics the next several close calls always go his way, so I guess it works. Just don't understand why

Not correct, there is more than one local team with nhs as their initials. Although I don't get to see Gray as much as Balogh, the games I've attended there is no comparison.

Only "babies" have complaints about officials Only "preteens" think officials get bullied into making calls.

All the "sane coaches" have voted YOUR "toddler", "bully", "theatrical", "red faced screamer" into the coaches hall of fame this year. Only a nobody in the stands, not officials, would say ANY coach influences their calls.

That toddler has over 550 wins........ I was going to say between he and Gray that's about 1000 wins. They obviously know what they're doing, so I won't question anything. Those 2 could forget a lot more Basketball than I will ever know.

24 hours and still no commentary from DUDE. I'm not sure he has ever gone 24 hours without posting.
I feel like Willard Fillmore is chanting "Why so quiet" into his laptop as he refreshes waiting for DUDE.
DUDE will probably lay low until Mansfield Sr wins the district and then he will say " See, Lex was the best team in the district because they split with Mansfield during the season".

The fact is Joe has not won a District title in 10 tries and it would be a great coaching accomplishment to get one this year. Good luck to the Warriors on Wednesday as they look to advance... should be a good game as Ontario is much improved

Sorry my fans, I had a out of town family event this weekend and took off straight from the game and have not had time to pick up my ipad.

One would think the Ontario Admins are overflowing with pride to see that out of their famed coach. When an official gets assigned to an Ontario game they have to be excited about the chance of being screamed at for 32 minutes. Sadly, I think you are right. So it will continue until dealt with.

The guy is blinded from the truth and sees only how things can be great for his school. HE is either posting an excuse for poor play or announcing over achievement by an over matched team.

Congrats to ontario and joe. This is his arguably his best coaching job in his long career this season. Congrats on the win for sure. This team returned 3 starters from last season and two of the top three scorers. Most coaches love when that happens.

I understand what you are saying but for ontario to turn their season around takes great coaching and players buying into what said coach needs them to do to be sucessfull. You don’t see that much anymore in this day and age.

You don’t see that much anymore in this day and age. I get what you are saying but I didn't see the big turn around some claim. Ontario team always develop and get better as the season goes on. The team had some sick or ill players which all teams go thru. Give them credit for improving as the season went on for sure.

Good luck to the Warriors on Wednesday as they look to advance... should be a good game as Ontario is much improved Wrong again. I as well as others thought nhs was a Norwalk guy/gal, putting Balogh down. You and I both know Gray and Balogh are friends and their coaching styles are the same. Thus when nhs said Balogh was a "toddler", it was complimentary to say Gray was a "new born". Using nhs's failed reasoning, a "new born" was more advanced than a "toddler". I got a chuckle at the Ontario/Norwalk game this year when Norwalk ran an out of bounds play under their basket. One of Steve's assistats looked down to the Ontario bench and said, "Joe, you recognize that one?" One that Joe used to use and Steve had put it in this year. Stop with your usual Fake Facts or lack of knowledge. Balogh HAS had a District Title in the past 10 years. Let's talk career at the same school. Balogh has had 7 District Titles and 5 District runner-ups. One of the 5 runner-ups instead of the 8th District Title was due to a half court no look hook shot at the final buzzer. Yes, the #8 seed beating the #2 seed and #1 seed in the same Tournament would be a very rare occurrence. When was the last time it happened around here? So rare neither you nor I are betting it will happen. Did you "try to imagine"?

The team had some sick or ill players which all teams go thru. Give them credit for improving as the season went on for sure. "Had some sick or ill players"?? Just ONE "sick or ill". The team's 6-0 leading rebounder was losing weight, tired all the time, in and out of the emergency room. Eventually he was diagnosed with Crohns Disease. A serous disease with no cure. MUCH worse than "sick or ill". Two 6-4 guard/forwards that would have been starters were lost for the year. Because of that a 6-4 bench player became a starter, and he gets a stress fracture and misses more than half the season. Due to that a 6-3 bench player, football player who missed 2 years of basketball due to knee injuries becomes a starter. The most likely first guard off the bench breaks the same elbow TWICE since last basketball season. Due to what all of that did to Ontario's bench, all of the starters played 90% of the minutes in every game, unless a blowout. Just proves how little dude knows about Ontario basketball. Yet he claims to know all of the administrators, coaches, some players and their parents!!

Congrats to ontario and joe. This is his arguably his best coaching job in his long career this season. Congrats on the win for sure. This team returned 3 starters from last season and two of the top three scorers. Most coaches love when that happens. How many starters did Lex return? How many All-Ohio players did Lex return? How many Seniors did Lex have in their rotation? Since dude is afraid to read my posts, so he doesn't have to answer pertinent and challenging questions, allow me to answer for him. 3, 1, 8 Ontario's RETURNING leading scorers averaged 10 and 8. What did Stover average last year? Ontario has 0 players with any All-Ohio recognition. Ontario has just 3 Seniors on the their roster, of which 2 would have come off the bench if injuries and issues had not happened. Ontario starts 2 Sophs and a Junior, Lex plays 8 Seniors. Lexington's starters are at least 2 inches taller than Ontario's starters at every position. Was coaching equal? Lex used 3 of their 5 timeouts in the first half. Ask Hammy why he told one of his players to purposely foul a specific Ontario player down by 1 with 6 team fouls and 2 minutes on the clock. Looked like a good foul since that player only makes 53% of his foul shots. EXCEPT the scouting report didn't go deep enough or he would have known that this player in pressure end of game situations is money. He made both of his foul shots, giving Ontario a 3-point lead. OR did the coach think his team had 5 fouls and needed to get 6, being behind?

Zero for 10 in D2 not fake news and factually correct. Back meet monkey... One would think with success Joe had once they would have broke through. 97-24 in the regular season over the five years prior 6-5 in the OHSAA D2 tourney...
