Orrville Basketball

  • Flash
    Well, whats to be expected? With a new coach and a change in styles, how will we do? Will football advancing and players and the coach being involved hurt us early on? Can we beat the Smithies in an early showdown?
  • RedRider1
    Jake Bolyard and Zach Wasson do not play football and they're our 2 best...they should carry us early on.

    A drop to D3 just might help our post-season woes too...but i think a new coach and a new attitude will be just as beneficial to ending our March drought.

    Wooster will have some good teams there with Smithville, Triway and Northwestern. We'll see if the OCC schedule helps prepare us for tournaments.
  • RedRider1
    Right, but we play Triway, Nw'n and Smithville in the reg. season so we'll see how we stack up before tournaments start.....we pick up Shelby and Wadsworth in our non-conf. schedule also. I think we dropped Timken.

    Triway
    NW'n
    Smithville
    Wadsworth
    Shelby
    ...and I think a Cleveland team

    Orrville is the early favorite for the DIII Wooster district. I'll have the site up in 2 weekends, hopefully.

    Pitman, So what is Orrville's record recently against teams in this district. I bet in the last 5 years we are lucky to be .500. Smithville should be the favorite. I'd say Triway, but I'm not sure who they have coming back. Enlighten us on the Titans. They're going to have a jump on the Riders.

    Not much going on here.

    Waiting for Football to end. Who do you think will start? Bolyard, Besanson at guard, Pirman, Wasson, Hoobler. Groves, Brenner, and Zook getting time. Is Pittman going out?

    Will be interesting to see if style changes will make a difference.
  • Mr. Russell
    In the division three preview I read online Coach Slaughter sounded very impressed with Groves, maybe it will be a break out season for the young man.

    Is Sam Miller playing? I heard that Hoobler wasn't actually but I am sure it's all speculation right now?
  • Riders12
    ^^
    Mr.R .... Will just have waiting till football is over to actually find out FOR SHORE. It would be nice to see Miller 6-0,hoobler 6-3 and some NEW kids Winters 6-7 ? soph. sounds like COACH is movin forword not backwords..
  • RedRider1
    Pirman is playing....not sure about Sam...but pretty sure Chase and Joey are too.

    Who knows...if we go a few more weeks in football, these kids might decide they need a break.
  • thePITman
    When is BRF coming over to the Dark Side?
  • Flash
    Boys (available) and Girls will have a preview at Massillon ( tues. 24th) to benefit the Massillon B&GC. Girls at 6:00 and Boys 7:45.
  • thePITman
    ^^ Is that a Foundation game?
  • Flash
    Yes, I couldn't remember the details, but it's an OHSAA Foundation game.
  • RedRider1
    word from the booster club meeting is that if the football team wins tomorrow night, we'll have to explore rescheduling the first part of the season.

    Kinda like the good ol days.
  • Riders12
    Awww, the day's of old...:)
  • RedRider1
    ^^What's next...close-captioning games in the auditorium? Winning tournament games? Final 4 appearances...
  • Riders12
    ^^^ ALL THE ABOVE ^^^
  • RedRider1
    i wont be greedy....

    Sound defense, an offense that isn't "guard first" and a district title is all I ask.

    I think the first 2 are givens, the 3rd will have to be earned.
