Didn't she get some varsity minutes last year. Can she transfer without sitting out a year.

Payton Ponzer, from Walton Verona High School, signs with Union College to play basketball. Announcement made during graduation said he got an athletic scholarship. Congratulations and good luck. Good to see kids from the small schools get some notice from the big boys.

While there are bad coaches in AAU, there are also some very good coaches. It is just like everything else. There are some bad high school coaches. There is bad officiating in AAU games. There is bad officiating in high school games. There are never enough good to go around.

Walton Verona also has a few kids with some varsity experience returning. If my recollection is right, Vance Sullivan and Jordan Ponzer played quiet a bit in the regional tournament. I think Sullivan is a nice point guard who will learn with time to make better decisions and Ponzer is a nice scorer, who showed he can play with the big boys. I think Walton is in need of a big man, but who couldn't use a big man. I think Vance and Jordan really contributed to the regional game this year, and I would expect big things from them coming up next year. As far as being a contender, I wouldn't expect that until their senior year. But who knows? Anything can happen.

Congratulations to Arrez. He was well deserving of all of these accolades. Good worker and all around nice young man.

Good job Gallatin and good luck.

Yeah, Wyldwynks has a field day bashing those fine players. Jealousy is pretty easy to see through, and it only makes him look stupid.

Someone told me Simon lost. Don't know how reliable the information is, so I would be interested in any info available.

It seems to me from looking at your post in the past, you tend to pipe up only with negative bashing against Ponzer. I really hope a moderator will put an end to this, because it is easy to see through and really boring.

I was also behind Walton's bench, and I can tell you Walton's coach is the one who was way wrong. What happened should not be tolerated at any school. I don't know what WyldWink has against the kid, but he certainly was a catalyst for Walton's success this year. Oh yeah, and I don't have a thing for last names either, whatever that means. I think the right people got the all tournament team.

Does anyone know if P. Ponzer will be ready to play on Monday?

Jordan Ponzer played well tonight. He is a good player, for sure.

I think Sorrell only had 8 or ten points at half. He made most of his points in the second half.

Payton Ponzer was sitting on the bench when the wrestling on the floor started with Martin and a W-town player, so I'm still not clear on why he was asked to go to the locker room by the AD. I know he received no technical or ejection. I guess time will tell what will shake out with the rest of this. It seemed to me W-town was looking for a fight. Just my opinion. I'm sure those involved will be appropriately dealt with, and learn from the mistakes.

Anyone know anything about Walton Verona baseball? How will they look this year? Any good players to speak of?

Great job by all the Bearcats! Everyone really played great. Payton really played an inspired game. Happy for all the boys.:dancingpa

Well, if you say so, it must be true.

Walton got a victory. The boys held on for another game. Kirk played well, as did all the boys. Way to go guys!:dancingpa

You think your opinion is gospel, but mine is a joke. Get a grip! My opinion is my opinion. And yours is just that, your opinion. It sounds like you think your better or smarter than the rest of us. I stand by my opinion. I think your opinion is a bit of joke also. Try to play nice. :dancingpa

Walton doesn't have anyone to match up with Maegley. We'll give you that. But is he an all around top ten player, no.

Ponzer from Walton is in the top ten, period. IMO. I'm sure your opinion means something also. Everyone has one.

I agree with this list. Cody Minnus would also be on my list. There are some standout players on Oldham County teams, but can't think of names right now. Ponzer from Simon Kenton is a very unselfish and solid player.

Payton Ponzer had quite a few assists, and took the ball to the rim with no problem. Jones had some nice buckets also. Mike Martin played some nice defense and I also thought Kirk played well. Little Ponzer is a very nice player. He will be fun to watch in the next couple of years. A nice win against a tough physical team to play on their home floor.

Walton played a good game last night. Everybody played well, and didn't see any of the sign of the "internal" problems spilly talks about. As far as I can see, no signs of selfish play from anyone.

From reading the post the other day when you questioned why Ponzer was taking the clutch shots (Not shoots, jethro!), I'm gonna go out on a limb, and guess you are trying to imply Ponzer is costing them games. What a joke! You are obviously some couch potatoe who has never played a game of competitive basketball in your life. Have you even been to all the games? I have been to all of the games this season, except for the tournament games and I can tell you, he is the catalyst for the games they win. And as for the games they lose;it is because they sit around trying to get the three instead of taking it to the rim, and not playing good defense. I'm not sure about any internal problems, but I do know that no one is more unselfish a player than Payton Ponzer. I think maybe you got some sort of hard on for the kid, and thats more your problem than the teams, so try to keep it to yourself.
