According to an "eye witnerss" report from an attendee, Rose Hill, with 8th grader to be Kyle Bush playing much of the game at guard, beat Spring Valley by 12. Rose Hill had three guards who were weren't present.

In the next game Rose Hill, with the same lineup, easily disposed of Rowan County.

 

I know that many say that this is June and that all of this means nothing. I disagree. Really, the only ones who say that are the supporters of the teams who are doing poorly. These events give us a good idea of what to expect. All teams have missing players but all have the great majority of their players there. The coaches are there so they are not pickup games.

 

I have read little about PGB's performance. How did they do? How did PGB do against Spring Valley. I heard they cleaned Coal Grove but, as I recall, CG was winless last year and not expected to be much this coming year.

 

My source told me that Elliott County, Rose Hill, and Spring Valley were the top three teams playing. Since my information is second hand, I would like to know what others thought.

I have to disagree I heard PGB was without Bonner and Thomas and Biggs played everybody but the bus driver.That makes a big differance.

And I may be wrong but didnt RH just beat Eastcarter by 9 and I know they had everybody there at that game. Ive seen EC twice this they look pretty good.:thumb:

I was really looking for information about how PGB did, particularly against Spring Valley, than for a rebuttal of Rose Hill's performance. I'll bet Zonebuster23 is a Tomcat fan so it is natural that he would downplay Rose Hill. Nothing wrong with that and it should be expected since the center of power seems to be changing again up there in the "Greater Ashland Area". Maybe Zonebuster23 can tell us about his team's performance in all its games. The Coal Grove game is the only one I have seen reported.

 

I know that they have a couple or so starters returning but have heard that the cupboard is fairly bare of real talent after that and extends all the way to the elementary schools. I was told this be a PGB insider who asked not to be directly quoted. Of course, he may have been blowing smoke.

Saying EC Looked good is not down playing RH. Sounds more like a blowfish to me.:laugh:

I checked with my "source in attendance" and he said that Thomas, Bonner, and the others were all present and accounted for for the game against Coal Grove.

 

I'm not looking for an argument and I certainly don't want to enter the constant Rose Hill-Ashland eternal battle.

 

All I asked was for a report about PGB's performance- particularly against Spring Valley. My source says he didn't attend the game but understands that the Tomcats got beaten pretty badly and that Biggs was not too happy. I am merely trying to learn from someone who has more direct information.

 

Since Zonebuster23 seems to want to skirt the question, I guess, until I hear otherwise, I must conclude the initial report I received is true and that PGB did get thumped. If so, I am surprised since he also said PGB had no one of any materiality missing. I will say that I am acquainted with Coach Biggs and any lack of achievement wasn't because of poor coaching. Coach Biggs is top notch.

 

Maybe, since Zonebuster23 won't do so, someone else will step up and fill us in on what happened.

PGB PLAYED BACK TO BACK TO BACK BEATING CG BEATING FHS AND LOST TO SV.BONNER AND THOMAS WERE GONE WED AND THUR.

I saw Ashland in Mason team camp 2 games and they didnt look good in either game .This is coming from a neutral source.

To a Mason Co fan anyone in this area would look bad.I dont mean this in a bad way ,its just Mason rocks and this whole area is weak.Thanks for your info. I would have to say both of those teams you are talking about could end up at Rupp.

If Zonebuster23 is the typical example of a PGB poster, I can understand why they are perceived as they are by others. He has now informed me of most everything about PGB's performance other than which players suffer from hemorrhoids and how the game turned out. On the other hand, think I can gather who won the Spring Valley game. It looks like you boys in the "Greater Ashland Metropolitan Area" have an interesting year ahead of you.

 

I appreciate mhighfield's post since it adds some background for the evasive behavior of Zonebuster23.

Sorry Zonebuster23, I reread your post and see where you did manage to mention that PGB lost to Spring Valley. Still not a responsive reply but a start. Are you at liberty to add any details or will this be it? You people shouldn't be so sensitive.

What else would you like know, Biggs played 15 kids from the 8th grade up and PGB lost to SV.All the PGB PLAYERS looked dead after playing 3 back to back games.:

Well, if what you imply is true and not exaggerated, the loss is understandable. I think most would have understood that I was, and am, seeking the final score or at least an indication as to how badly these eighth graders and up lost. Of course, if you really did play the game with Spring Valley with a bunch of kids many of whom will still be at your middle school this fall, any loss is understandable.

I think this thread hits the spot in terms of what I posted the other day in another thread regarding summer basketball.

Absolutely. Nothing of relevance can be concluded from Spring Valley's win over PGB when you factor in the fact that Thomas and Bonner didn't play and that PGB was playing its third consecutive game with a group which included many middle schoolers.

 

Under the circumstances, I don't understand why Coach Biggs, a fine coach, would be upset at all. But, my information is second hand so it may have been exaggerated.

 

I still believe that those who automatically rate Rose Hill above PGB in the "early assessments" are incorrect. When the time comes, I would bet on PGB.
