Just took a look and noticed that Willard's first 4 games are against teams that currently have a combined record of 2-8. Useless information? Maybe. oh boy here we go again about our schedule. I guess we need to play Sandusky,Mansfield Senuor and what the hell let's throw in Akron st.v every night to get respect from the haters. The schedule is the schedule...get over it.Willard is one of the top teams in the area. Gee Wiz, you and I both know Willard used to play those schools, as well as Lex and Ontario, when Willard was really good.

Looks like Willard is overlooking port Clinton. Only up by two with 3 minutes left in first half.

But anyways pinkston should do bowling yeah either do that or put on the wrestling singlets because my man is straight ballski at the game of basketball. Cooper Parrot can do good against bucyrus ooooo nice job. I could sub in my grandma with no arms and she could do good against bucyrus. It is easy to get on here and trash Bucyrus. But what did you expect ? In all intensive purposes, Bucyrus is playing a JV team on the Varsity level this year. The team is made up with predominately freshmen and sophomores, and a handful of juniors and seniors, with maybe one who had a little bit of playing time last year.

False alarm. Willard up by 30 in fourth. Sounds like it is taking the flashes about a quarter and a half to get their rhythm but when they do it sounds like they start to click. Looking at the box scores it appears myles wanted to prove something tonight, played well. Lot of kids stepping up on different nights, good sign. Looking forward to the Shelby/Flashes rematch.

Well playing the flashes certainly didn’t help, if they played a bum instead of us their combined record would be six and four. Absolutely correct. But unfortunately avoiding some teams and hand picking wins does not make you are great as some may think. I really have nothing against the current Willard staff or team. I find it quite funny that some fans speak of the old days and the successful tradition is still alive. Until you point out the one or two coaches who built that tradition would travel anywhere to play anyone on any night. Unlike today where teams have been avoided and other have been hand picked. Just some insight from an outsider who has no personal connection, other than friends who have worn crimson.

Over the last 15 years random ppl have said similar ‘haha flashes fans think it’s the 80’s’ when that’s not even in the same universe as true. Trying to fit a easily disposable flashes fans are goofs narrative that just isn’t there

To be fair you do have several "flashes fans" on here that make that narrative pretty easy to jump to.

BOOMFilless, comparing Lexington basketball of the 70's and 80's to Willard is like comparing Balough to Haas.....there is no comparison. Sure, Lex had some really nice teams. But not a 20 year span of really nice teams. As far as some of us referencing the old days in our posts. It's easy to do when you lived it, played it (1 final four, 2 elite eights, 3 sweet 16's) ...its can be hard to let go of at times. I realize it's not fair to today's athletes and coaches. Today's kids and coaches are doing just fine, they're trying to build their own legacy and tradition, while still remembering and honoring the past. Some of us just need to stay out of the way, with our mouths closed (referencing myself more than anyone else).

Crimeson, there IS a "comparison", both have a reason to beat their chests. Willard has more elite eights and sweet 16s, but Lex has TWO State Titles to zero and a better overall winning %.
I could have put forth Mansfield St.Pete, but it was Lexington's Dude in the discussion.

I never thought any think this is the 80"s. I say they feel the 80's tradition is still alive. What I pointed out was those highly successful teams would play anyone, anywhere, anytime. The current team's schedule was built to give an advantage for wins.

In the 1970---1989 timeframe Willard lost I think 5 times to Lex Willard won I think 9 times,,just a guess though. In defense of Lex they had some very good teams in those two decades as did Willard.
Also of note==In Lex's two State Title Seasons,,,Willard beat them.

Also of note==In Lex's two State Title Seasons,,,Willard beat them. From 1969 to 1992 Lexington had 2 losing seasons in 23 years. In that time they made 3 trips to Columbus winning two titles and being the runner up the other. Willard also had 2 losing seasons during that period and played Lex in 19 games with Willard having the edge 11 to 8.

Ok,,thanks for the info. I'll be the first to say Lex was very very good in that time frame also. The 1973 loss by Willard was particularly stinging. It was viewed as an upset. Although Lex was coming off a season as Runner Up and had a nice team in their own right.

If Willard beat Lex in BOTH years they won the title that just shows who won when it mattered... whether they faced them in March or not.... The fact that Lex was 5-1 @ Cbus speaks volumes to coaching, expectations and experience. Kudos to them

There's no "If" about it. It happened. I don't agree about who won when it mattered. Willard didn't play them in the tourney either year. If anything, it gives credence to match ups are important. Lex didn't match up well against Willard those years and Willard beat them fair and square. One year Lex only lost the one game to Willard and the other they lost just twice---both seasons finishing as State Champs. Oh, I think it mattered---lol ! Because we can say we beat the State Champs,,,both times.

Match-ups are definitely important because in those 2 specific seasons, Willard did not make it out of Sectionals, But they can celebrate beating Lexington in the regular season. Congratulations.
