So what’s the run been for coaches Colonels? 6 regional titles, 2 State titles, 2 final fours, first round exit and a Covid ended year. Been quite a run, and a few bounces here or there and we are talking about it in a different light. You could say they could/should have another title in that span!

Ipsarro better get that ankle worked on immediately, gonna need him to accomplish what they want too.

First time seeing GRC this year, after all the hype I can say they were a bit underwhelming. Don’t know if it was an off day or just the great play of the panthers. But the lack of shooters and rebounding i think would be why they don’t win it. If either team knocks down shots in that game they are the winner.

This is what happens when you build a top notch program. Everybody and everything around you elevates, the home grown talent and the kids you bring in. Just saying right away their talent is better, isnt giving credit to the guys that have made it better.

But the talent they have wasn’t like this before Scott got here. They have developed and attracted kids, no matter who likes it or doesn’t like it. You build it they will come, kids know their development is top notch. That’s easy to play for, think you guys are taking the easy way out saying that. Talent is better in part because of him and the staff he put in place.

Honestly it would take a lot for something like that to happen this year. There isn’t a Vinson or Veith out there, actually the exact opposite that player is now on the colonels. Ipsarro will be able to control any game in the regional for them. You have to take it out of his hands and hope the other guys aren’t shooting well, which is also difficult when Rylee and Starks are feasting at the rim. Just a tough assignment for the rest of the region this year, which sucks because our tournament is one of the best but hate going into knowing who is most likely going to win.

I’ve seen a couple people say that but really I have a hard time agreeing with that. The schedule was loaded, I mean outside of the state championship teams this team is right there with any other team they have had. Arguably the best guard and big man they have had in the Ruthsatz era, and the supporting cast is still really strong with a defender like Starks and shooters around them.

Thought so, just saw that late season loss to Russell so was interested to hear what the guys down there thought. Looking forward to that first round state matchup.

What’s the odds Ashland doesn’t make it out of the region?

I agree, should be just player of the year regardless of class. I was wondering if Rylee from CCH has a good shot, seems like he’s done the most for a top team that’s a senior. Been truly dominant all year.

Who are the candidates for Mr.Basketball and who do we think are the leaders for the award? Will be interesting because most of the top talent in the state is in the 23’ class.

Why rush him back for districts, I’d rest til the regional personally they are gonna need him for the long haul to have the success they want.

When is porter back for Ashland?

7th is a gauntlet!

Honestly did not know the RPI is this flawed. Can the same be said for football, if so yeah need a bit of an overhaul.

If they can continue to play inside out they will be a really tough out for any team I believe. Especially teams that don’t have the size to matchup, kinda like todays game were they made it an emphasis. I think a couple of their losses people have stated they could have continued to pound it in and they didn’t.

RPI.

Dream draw for GRC, seeing Reed in that environment since he hasn’t ever been might not be something you wish for though. Whoever comes out of the bottom bracket is gonna be tested that’s forsure. I see it in the semis, 7v9 and 10v6.

I still think the size of Male and a few other teams are gonna be difficult for GRC come tournament time, especially when you match that with the guard play a couple of them have. On the bigger court it’s gonna be hard to double team guys like Glenn and Rylee in the paint.

Yeah should walk away with it, they just better hope they get a favorable draw at state. Because running into a top team in round 1 id be concerned, their whole second half schedule isn’t the greatest. Honestly they have only played 5 or so In state teams that have been close games, some of that is how good they are but some of it is scheduling as well. It will be interesting forsure.

Yeah I wouldn’t say it’s something he goes to but if it the defense is giving it to him,I believe he and the team is comfortable with him doing it especially from mid range. Idk if that was the case the last couple years, regardless still a paint beast that is rounding out his game!

I beg to differ, I been to a couple games where he has knocked down quite a few jump shots. Mid range he has been really good and I’m sure his 3 point total would surprise you. You can tell they have worked with him in facing up, getting in triple threat and shooting over smaller defenders. Especially in that high/low they like to run with Rylee.

I think he would make the varsity roster and sophomore year take over for Ipsarro. Him and Nolan Ruthsatz wouldn’t be a bad start in the backcourt. And it’s not always about where you can get on the court the quickest, it’s about who’s pushing you the hardest and what your going up against. Then when the time is called most of these athletes will be ready.

For the duration of his career or since your saying he’s not ready would it be a situation where he eventually goes? Kid is really good and plays on a talented AAU team, I think everybody thought he was CCH bound because the development and chance to play on the biggest stages. Idk how much of each your forfeiting at Beechwood it’s definitely some though. Also know football is in the equation too, he’s just heck of an athlete who many around would love to see his potential maximized!

Do we know if Cash plans on staying at beechwood? Know he played for a little known rival up the street until this year, wondering if it was another CVH situation.
