The Best Team

[syracusebball]

Who is the Best Team in Steuben County
The two favorites are Prattsburgh and Cambell

[hoopsfan35]

Campbell has to be the favorite early because they haven't lost a league game in 5 years or so and even longer for the league championship. Prattsburgh is definitely a contender to dethrone C-S with Wade Fuller and co. with their guard speed and defense. They lost 2 games to campbell savona by a combined 3 points last year. I also think J-T is a contender with great guard play from Caleb Drake and Ryan Hadley and get a little size from Brennan Thurber. They were tied with C-S through 3 quarters in a game last year. Canisteo-Greenwood will need the Ryan twins and Brandon Wallace to play great to be a contender

[ref301]

I agree that CS has to be the favorite. We'll see if Wade Fuller can now be the leader for a new, younger and smaller Prattsburgh team. Applebaum and Wright made a big difference against CS last year.

Is CS a B school this year? I know that they have a significantly larger enrollment than P'burg and that is always a factor when you talk about the best in a particular area.

Is Brandon Wallace any relation to John Wallace of Jasper (not JT) lore? He drove me crazy on the court "back in the day".

[sflcards45]

Is a CC. 295 students, coincidentally the same as Addison.

[syracusebball]

I think prattsburgh is the favorite.
I don't think that either of the gaurds can score points while fuller is guarding them.
Fuller is not the only good kid on this team. Garret Parker is a great shooter and i think he will have some big games even though he is only a sophmore.
I also think prattsburgh has the advantage down low with Doug Lewis and Marshall Stanley. Both are much improved from last year.

[sflcards45]

will be hard to overcome for any guard in the league. The problem will be that he can only guard one of the two from C-S that have the ability to put up good numbers offensively (Wright, Matula).

[cbellfan15]

When C-S visits Prattsburgh but i believe P-burgh has the edge going into the game.

with saying that...C-S still returns a few guys who made the trip back to states and were a part of the State team (wright and Crane). I believe if Matula, Wright and Crane can get on the same page and get help from the like of Smalt, Overhiser, and Poplaski, they could once again be a very strong team and yet keep their streak alive.

[sflcards45]

The biggest advantage Prattsburgh is going to have is the game being at their place. By far my favorite place to play as a player and one of favorites to watch a game. The atmosphere there is unmatched in the county. The smaller court makes it hard to get out and run - something C-S is going to look to do a lot of again this year.

[cbellfan15]

I loved watching games at prattsburgh for the best part aside of the basketball was Mrs. Gifford at the beginning of each game! not to mention Fullers mom in the stands stomping her foot to get the clap going whenever possible

[UNCTarheels]

There's no other Atmosphere that compares to that of watching a game in Prattsburgh, Mrs. Gifford, Lucas Day on the Mic the same people in the stands year after year & the same coaches on the sidelines, it's great.

[ref301]

Being a Prattsburg (that's how it was spelled back then) grad and having Barb Gifford's son as the best man at my wedding, I couldn't agree more. It's been a special atmosphere since '76 when Jim Burke got there. Those were the days when he was thought of as a baseball coach, not basketball.

Now being in the GR I get great pleasure in seeing the home and home between Prattsburgh and Batavia Notre Dame. The amazing thing is that Prattsburgh's gym seems big when compared to the bandbox that BND plays in. Nothing like going to BND and having the temperature in the gym be over 80 by the time the JV game is over, the lockerroom being hotter and no hot water after the game is over! That's when you know you are in a rivalry!

[UNCTarheels]

You here Alexander is making the trip to Prattsburgh for the Christmas tournament? How do you think they'll do in the X-mas tournament? They match up with Avoca while Prattsburgh plays Naples.

[ref301]

Yep, Alexander (my current stomping grounds) will play in Prattsburgh's (my former stomping grounds) Christmas Tournament. Alexander made great strides last year with a senior class stepping up big in some games (Attica and Elba), but they also lost some games that they shouldn't have. Now those seniors are gone and the question is can they maintain the momentum that was created.

Josh Bender is a senior guard that should have made GR All-Star last year. He is very quick, a good ball handler and can extend the floor with his shooting range. Assuming Alexander gets to the tournament final he could be a good match up with Wade Fuller. He can defend Wade, the question is can he protect the ball against him. Kyle Woodruff is a very good offensive threat and needs to come up big on the boards as well as Zach Leitten, who looks bigger every time I see him (wait till baseball season all GR hitters!). The real question is if senior Jake Quinn can be a real big man at the center position. This team played very good defense last year with a couple of exceptions, The question will be can they score?

Alexander can learn alot from the BND/P'burg matchup earlier in the season. I expect Alexander to finish somewhere in the middle of the pack in the GR, but they could surprise.

[The1andONLY51]

My favorite gym to play in has always been Avoca. The floor there is unlike any other I have ever played on, its so comfortable to be on.

[hoopsfan35]

Avoca is in the process of renovating their gym, that floor might not be the same there anymore

[UNCTarheels]

The Rubber floor is gone it'll be a wooden floor when the gym opens possibly the end of January......

[cbellfan15]

Where is Avoca gonna play their home games or will they play away till the gym re-opens?

[UNCTarheels]

It's all away until the end of January, they're scheduled for a home game the end of January but not sure yet if they'll be able to host it or not. There was a problem with the floor and the amount of time it needs to sit before they can play on it.

They will be the home team at some schools, I know they play Prattsburgh in Prattsburgh but will be the home team same thing with J-T & Friendship.

[hoopsfan35]

Will this be the year that Campbell-Savona loses a league game or even the county title? What does everyone think?

[cbellfan15]

I think the streak has a strong possibility of ending this year with the strength in the league. C-S travels to Prattsburgh which will be a tough game, J-T returns a talented squad that was tied with C-S in the 3rd last year, and C-G will be talented with C-S traveling to C-G this year I believe. I think you could see the Panthers lose in Prattsburgh but win the county title to make it correct me if im wrong 8th in a row for C-S...

[OhioStateBuck]

I'm pretty sure that Avoca is playing Prattsburgh as the home team on Prattsburgh's court.

[Dfense54]

I think the county is pretty spaced out this year with no one being extremely overpowering like in the past few years. JT is deffinately a tough match up for anyone they can shoot and their quick they dont have a lot of size this year but do have a couple of kids that are a few inches over six. Obviously everyone knows that campbell and pratsburg are contenders in the county just like every year. Watch out for the underdogs however hammondsport could suprise some people. They dont give up and they will play anyone tough. They had a rough year last year look for them to come out and play some ball this year. Im not saying there gonna win the county but they arenty just gonna lay down and die like last year. Canisteo is another team to watch out for they have had a good program for the past couple years. Anyone can take it this year i think. Whats your take on it

[hoopsfan35]

who will win tuesday night? Canisteo-Greenwood is coming off a 3 pt loss to Attica and Prattsburgh just lost to ND. Both are contenders for the county title along with C-S and J-T

[Attackthebasket]

JT at Hammondsport on Friday "Killing" or "Good Game"

[OhioStateBuck]

I think Prattsburgh will win over Canisteo in a close one, and JT versus Hammondsport will be a pretty good game. I watched JT a week ago against Canaserega, and although it was a blow out, JT didn't look that great besides their shooting.

[hoopsfan35]

JT at Hammondsport on Friday "Killing" or "Good Game"

"Killing" by 20 at least

[Dfense54]

I disagree with hoops fan i think youd be suprised with the way hport will play JT i dont think that Jt is as good as they were last year granted hport got beat by 50 some in Jt last year but i think the way hport played JT in the county tourney last year showed the improvement that team made they only lost by twelve in the game and it was because of a weak first quarter....Hammondsport played them even the rest of the game. Jt is not as strong as last year yah they return a good squad but hport isnt as week as they have been the past year....theyre here to play ball youll be suprised by the score i think...

[hoopsfan35]

J-T is a defense's nightmare. You can't play zone on them because of their ability to shoot the ball. If you play man, the guards Ryan Hadley and Caleb Drake will penetrate the key and either take it up themselves or dish to the the open corner or the big men. If H-Port can slow down the guards enough, which the only team to remotely do that was Genesee Valley so far, then they might have a shot. Clarkson will have to have a big night and get some help from his guards. But J-T has 7-8 guys that can explode for 20 on any given night. If Hammondsport can stop a more complete J-T team, then they deserve all the credit in the world, but I don't see it happening. As far as this year's J-T team, they are definately better than last years team. The only thing wrong with this year's team is that they are almost all seniors. There is only one junior and 2 sophmores.

[Dfense54]

I agree JT is a nightmare defensivly and I agree you cant play a zone against them but Hport did exactly what you said needed to be done against JT in the county game last year and they were a much weaker team then. Im not saying hport is gonna win i just think it will be a close game. Hport has got alot of talent in jake clarkson. Derek Baroody is a force inside and they have a good guard in brandon bulley who can explode at any point. Brian Stachnik is also prolly going to run the two guard Ryan House will have the reigns it he may have some difficulty with the pressure he is much improved from last year but it will be house's first real test against a good point guard. I think hport has got the matchups to do what they need to do but i also feel if JT shoots the ball well hammondsport is gonna have some difficulty...has the potential to be a really good game

[hoopsfan35]

Good luck to both teams. If it is a good game then Hammondsport should be considered to be a contender in both DD and Steuben County.

[hoopsfan35]

Campbell got back to their defensive form holding Avoca to 17 points en route to a 40 point win. Avoca probably isn't the best competition but I think every team needs an easy win to get confidence and get on track. Hammondsport also won by 23 over Bradford with a pair of 15 pt performances from Clarkson and Baroody to get their first win of the season. The Prattsburgh- Canisteo-Greenwood game was rescheduled for tomorrow.

[Attackthebasket]

great game for campbell, Good job guys on holdin avoca under 20,- hammondsport got out to a strong and commanding lead but in the second half let bradford break the lead back down to 20 with some fallen players and foul trouble great game played by bradford braves though good job, they have a well rounded team and just need to put it all together.

[hoopsfan35]

J-T 61
H-port 42
Brennan Thurber (J-T)-18 pts
J-T led by as many as 34. J-T took Baroody out of the game and Clarkson wasn't too much of a factor. I was impressed with the H-port guards. They have chemistry with the rest of the team but one word killed that team, turnovers. Im not sure of how many they had but J-T did very well on the defensive end for 3 quarters, holding Hammondsport to about 25 points until the starters came out in the 4th. Hammondsport is a quality team and will suprise some people.

I'm not sure how the rest of the league did because the scores haven't been submitted

[DSport]

I only stayed for the first half because I couldn't stomach any more. Most of the turnovers weren't even caused by J-T's defence. They occurred in non-pressure situations. One player was dribbling down the court and just lost the ball out of bounds. players were passing to air. It was a little sad. i'm rooting for Hammondsport to have a good year but it looked like nobody was really concentrating in the first half except Bulley.

Yeah Bulley looked impressive throughout. I think that the turnovers were due to J-T defense, especially in the 3rd when J-T scored about 25 points off of turnovers

Prattsburgh @ J-T on tuesday 12/11

Any Predictions?

[DSport]

Prattsburgh 71
J-T 63

[Attackthebasket]

JT-58
P-Burg-47

Low scoring game but jt has to much speed

[OhioStateBuck]

Prattsburgh-63
JT-52

I personally don't think JT is faster than Prattsburgh..

[DSport]

Wade is faster than anyone on J-T. Besides Wade, the rest of Prattsburhg is pretty fast and should be able to hold their own w/ J-T.

[hoopsfan35]

I think the key to the game is the play of the big men. Whoever has the most dominant big men will win because the guards will probably play eachother to a stalemate. Lewis for Prattsburgh had a double-double vs. C-G and Thurber for J-T scored 18 points against both Arkport and Hammondsport. It should be a good game. my prediction is

J-T 58
Prattsburgh 52

[UNCTarheels]

Don't know what the score will be but I think Prattsburgh will win in a close 5-10 point game

[Dfense54]

Yeah Bulley looked impressive throughout. I think that the turnovers were due to J-T defense, especially in the 3rd when J-T scored about 25 points off of turnovers

Hammondsport had thirty plus turnovers and yes your right most of them were unforced hammondsport needs to find a guard that can run the offense without tunring the ball over and making good choices....hammonsport ran stachnik at the point saturday he did a good job and still took the ball to the whole himself....

[OhioStateBuck]

Prattsburgh won a very close game 58-53, Garret Parker had a bunch of three's to lead the vikings to a win. Stanley and Lewis held Thurbur to only a few points, and Fuller's foul shots and defense kept Prattsburgh in the game.

[hoopsfan35]

Prattsburgh played very well tonight in Jasper to get a big win in the league. A couple turning points late in the game was the technical foul given to the J-T assistant coach after Fuller had just committed a foul to send J-T to the line for a 1 & 1. J-T had been on a run from 7 down to tie it with about 4 minutes to go. Prattsburgh converted both free throws and then Parker hit a 3. Just after the technical, Thurber was injured and didn't come back. After all of that, Parker hit the 4 point play to go up 9 with a minute to go. a couple late turnovers hurt Prattsburgh but they held J-T off to win 58-53. Great game Mr. Parker and the rest of the Prattsburgh team. Hopefully these 2 teams will meet up again in counties and we could be in for another great game.

[ref11]

what an assitant coach for jt in getting a techincal foul late in the game. he should not be on the bench from here on out. i bet you coach price is fumming over that one

[DSport]

The assistant coach is the one that was yelling all game if I am correct. (was he the same coach that got a T in the JV game?)

Prattsburgh played well and this is a good win for them.

The rest of SCL is catching up with C-S and Prattsburgh though. It isn't a two horse race anymore.

[UNCTarheels]

Very good game back and forth the whole way. J-T is impressive 4-of-5 starters can shoot the 3, Sophomore Center Brennan Thurber is improving and by the end of the season he should be able to provide a consistent low post scoring threat that'll keep teams from keying on the three point shooters. Wade Fuller kept Caleb Drake in check the whole game holding him to just 5 points. Ryan Hadley is very fast and is a solid shooter, I wish he'd dribble with his head up but that's just the coach in me. Randy Graham & Chris Smith both hit big 3's. With Connor Thomas & Jim Willis they have some depth so J-T has a solid group and a good team and they'll probably improve and be even better come February.

Prattsburgh played very well last night and are improving every game. Wade Fuller is awesome and he's going to give opposing teams fits all season. Seniors Marshell Stanley & Logan Wheeler came up big last night and Sophomore Garrett Parker is shooting the Ball very well right now. They're only going to get better the more games they play, Two tough games this weekend Addison comes to Prattsburgh Friday night & Elkland, PA comes to town Saturday Night.

Yep he's the jv coach that got the T

Yep he's the jv coach that got the T

fire the jv coach he has no business in getting a t in a varsity game

[DSport]

fire the jv coach he has no business in getting a t in a varsity game

The sad thing is that it was after they had a call go their way.

[UNCTarheels]

It was at a crucial point in the game, the momentum was probably swinging in J-T's favor and the wind was taken right out of their sails. Thurber getting hurt also happened right around this same time and his loss hurt them on the boards & Frusteration started to set in a little bit.

I agree with Ref11 that the J.V coach should probably never be getting a technical during the Varsity game especially a tight one with so many implications. I'm sure he's beating himself up over that one.

[ref11]

th jv coach is there i assits the varsity coach . the varsity coach price knows how to work the refs. did jt have the ball when the t was called if they did he really screwed jt never get a t when you have the ball

[OhioStateBuck]

I didn't really understand what he was yelling for, maybe he thought possession was going to Prattsburgh even though it was actually a JT ball? But on another note has anyone else noticed that Fuller looks alot better behind the arc this year so far? And I'm pretty sure that he is 32 for 33 from the free throw line.

I'm not sure on that free throw stat. I think he missed one last night. As far as him shooting behind the ark: I noticed he only does it if he's open. I no longer cringe when he launches it. He has a ways to go to become a great shooter but he's heading in the right direction.

[hoopsfan35]

Fuller was called for his 4th foul and Drake was going to shoot 1 and 1 to try for the lead. He also got a T in the jv game

[ref11]

i wonder if coach price is going to have the idiot jv coach on the bench next game. i would not have him on my bench

[syracusebball]

i dont think thurber getting hurt didnt really have any thing to do with jt losing. he did not really do any thing all game.
I thinkg jt was better off with 5 guys who could shoot the three because thurber is not going to out play dougie and marshell.

[hoopsfan35]

It took him off the boards and as soon he came out Lewis got about 3 offensive rebounds. If thats not big late in a big game then i don't know what is

I asked Fuller today and that foul shot at JT was the only one he has missed so far this season. I know hes not a great 3 point shooter, but hes definately improved quite a bit from last year where he went 3 for 33 at 11%.

Like I said, I remembered that one but in any case: he has improved his overall shooting. He will probably continue to get open looks from three for the next few games until teams start to respect his shooting a little more.

[hoopsfan35]

J-T scrimmages Wellsville tuesday Dec 18 at 3 in Jasper. It was just scheduled.

[UNCTarheels]

A scrimmage against a bigger school in the middle of the season is a good move by Coach Price. Wellsville is a good bigger school and it'll be a good test for J-T. Sophomore center Brennan Thurber will be tested against Wellsville Forward James Braunscheidel and Wellsville Guard Tommy Hennessey will be a good match up for either Drake Or Hadley.

Make sure you give us a full report on the Scrimmage................

[hoopsfan35]

Both teams looked great today. they played 5 10 minute periods and treated it like a game. Wellsville took the 1st period 14-9 with good outside shooting and inside craftfulness.. i wish i knew those kid's names. They were led by i think a 3 man that knocked down a couple 3s and penetrated the key. Wellsville took the second quarter 15-11 again with good shooting. Drake and Hadley had a majority of J-T's points for the first two periods. J-T took the third period 21-11. They finally looked like the team that everyone thought they were. All 5 starters and a couple coming off the bench looked great from this point on. J-T took the final 2 periods and outscored Wellsville by a total of 93-80. I didn't get to see the final 2 periods but Hadley was high scorer for the scrimmage for J-T followed by Drake and Thurber but the J-T team looked very impressive and finally looked in sync with eachother. They have a game with Canaseraga on Friday

[UNCTarheels]

What are the game times?

I was at the Avoca game and it went pretty much the way I expected. Zach Burke came off the bench and had a good game. 7pts I think. They are certainly a fun team to watch.

[UNCTarheels]

Not sure on game times for the Christmas tournament I'll get that info for you and post it on here next week.

Yes I was very happy to see Zach Burke get in and get some minutes, he has flashes of Brilliance ( Drive to the Basket for lay up) and then makes a few mistakes so it'll come he has a lot of potential, hopefully some quality time will help him.

Dsport-Will have to meet up I often wonder if your sitting right next to me or behind me and I just don't know it. I've been to all of Prattsburghs games except for Arkport. So remind me next week and we'll arrange something to get together at one of these games.

A little bold to say his team is still the best in SCL but he's got to say that if he wants the players to think it. I don't really see anything too wrong with his comments.

[CAL12]

C-S's head coach must be getting desparate to save the season. I agree with the idea that he must say this in order for his players to start to believe. However, making these comments could come back to hurt them as well. Having lost to C-G, P'burg, and J-T they will have to play pretty well in the county tournament. It will be interesting to see where everyone ends up.

[secvparent]

after seeing c-s play I would have to say they are for from the best. I feel the team has absolutely no leadership. After watching the game on Friday I also feel they have no class. They injured at least three players on JT and not one of the C-S players offered to help them up or even see if they were ok. Where is the sportsmanship?

I don't know about the class comment. I didn't see the J-T game but at Prattsburgh I didn't see any issues in a close heated battle for most of the game. When Prattsburhg pulled away at the end I expected to see some frustration out of C-S and maybe some hard fouls but it didn't happen.

After watching the game on Friday, I too feel that C-S has no class. I also witnessed players offering no sportsmanship after committing several hard fouls including the one to Ryan Hadley. As a matter of fact, it was witnessed that Maynard Crane told his team on the way to the bench "now that's a foul". Pretty distasteful if you ask me. I have to wonder what the coach and/or parents are teaching those kids.

[sflcards45]

On the part of one kid doesn't or at least shouldn't classify the whole team. I don't condone hurting an opponent, but I know Maynard - having personally coached him and played with him - and I can promise you that wasn't his intention. He may have meant to commit the foul, but not to hurt someone. Losing at home on senior night and just having picked up a touch foul his emotions just got the better of him.

I agree with sflcards45,I WENT TO THE C-G VS C-S game and saw maynard accidently elbow one of the ryan twins in the face thru frustration and immediatly help him up and apologize very classy

[Wildcat #12]

I am from J-T and witnessed the incident that left Ryan Hadley out for 2 weeks... I know I'm from J-T so of coarse I'm going to stick up for Ryan, but I feel that the play was completely uncalled for. Anyone that saw it would agree with me that the ball had left Ryans hands long before the arm came down. But the thing that shocked me was that Maynard did no more than walk away from Ryan laying on the floor. As a player, I have been tought that no matter the significance of a foul, you always help the person up. I am a fan of Maynard and feel that he is a great player, but i feel that this was a bit ridiculous. I am a fan of rough, physical games, but anyone that watched this game saw that the game was getting away from the officials.

Great game tho...

And watch out for the Wildcats making some noise with or without Hadley.
