Pokercat, Ty Mac was blowing a kiss to his wife and daughters because they couldn't get down to the floor...not the fans. I tried to reply to your post but I can't find it anymore.

Even if he was blowing kisses to the crowd it was OG fans he was dealing with. He just won a game to go to state and was excited, plus his sideline theatrics are nothing compared to the clown coaching LCC the past 2 years.....you know the one that ARGUED EVERY CALL in the first quarter, kicked, stomped, threw his hands in the air until the ref told him to knock it off and then he went down and sat on the end of the bench near the water cooler for awhile.

Please explain where coaching was the difference....the best player/ rebounder on the court (oconnor) was in foul trouble the entire game, not boxing out and missing free throws was the difference. According to og fans, lcc or anyone for that matter could hire greg popovich and og would still have the coaching edge. Give your kids some credit. They played a great game. The og players won this game....not the student section, not the fans and not even their coach.

The best 2 players on the court were TJ Metzger and Mike Rosebrock

As far as coaching being the difference, I was speaking more long term. LCC's coach was handed a great team 2 years ago with a solid nucleus with state tournament experience as sophs along with talented up and comers. OG was a team many thought would be lucky to win a dozen games and lost early at LCC by 12. Tell me which group came together, bought into what the coaches have preached, played as a team and improved throughout the season?

We will agree to disagree on the best player. Both teams improved a great deal throughout the season and the players from og made more plays on friday night. This was a great basketball game where two talented teams came in very prepared and the winner made more plays and capitalized on opportunity's. Regardless how talented you are, or how great of a coach you are, getting to state is a tough thing to do. To judge frank for not getting to state in his first two years is ridiculous. As talented as og is year in and year out, maybe you should have held your coaches to the same standard. If og doesn't make it back to state next year or the year after with the talent they have coming up, should we all start doubting tyson? Maybe this year was a fluke? Your team is going to state and you have the right to be proud but don't give me this "outcoached" crap.

Oh yea, just thought I would add one more thing. Everyone is always talking about how "classless" the LCC community is and after the game there were students and ADULTS yelling "f*ck Lima, f*ck LCC, LCC sucks" lol. Adults? Seriously?

Contrary to your belief, most people from OG that somewhat know the game had the utmost respect for Coach Seggerson. In fact, many in the community put alot of the blame 2 years ago on OG's former coach. But you are right, give the kids credit. I don't care how hard you coach, if the players don't buy into it, it's just a waste of breath. I do, however, believe that LCC looked undisciplined at times with their shot selection. And their former coach thought the same on the TV re-broadcast.

I would hope by now everyone knows that every school is going to have their idiot fans. Unfortunately, people take that as a reflection of the community as a whole. What I heard and saw an LCC fan do to the players for OG 2 years ago was probably the most disgusting thing I have ever seen at a high school sporitng event. However, I'm not going to hold that against the entire community. It was just one classless jerk.

Get over it clutch you lost. You are not going to change the outcome with accusations. OG's big players showed up & LCC's bigs couldn't respond simple as that. It happens & has happened to OG in the past also.

And LCC lost to that team in the REGIONAL FINALS. I would like to think we could give credit to OG without simultaneously tearing down another coach. This was not the sectionals. By the time you get to Districts in our area, everybody is good. To look at LCC's season and conclude they have a coaching problem seems ridiculous to me. Reminds me of when people used to tear down Braidic at Pandora for not doing enough. It seems factually incorrect on the surface, and even if it is true...it is a rather classless act.

OG's coaches, team, and community have done themselves proud. Everybody with half a brain knows this. Tearing down the opponent's coach cannot possibly elevate their accomplishments any greater.

I don't think people are tearing down Kill, but he has huge shoes to fill. Until he shows he can win the big game, he will have his doubters. And from the LCC people that I know, that's not just the feeling outside the LCC community.

Im over it lol. I honestly couldn't care less it was to shpw that those kind of things are done by all kinds of people from all different schools because im sick of hearing how classless LCC is. Has nothing to do with the game....

.A division 2 team that somehow gets to d3 every year will dominate for the foreseeable future..It's obvious it doesn't matter who the Coach is as long as you stay under the D2 line every year or other year state tourney bound..Your talent and population is not even close to who you are competing against..Spencerville,PH,LB,LCC..etc - Pokercat










At least to my knowledge, OG hasn't turned any students away to "stay under the D2 line". This statement is ridiculous, OG's enrollment has steadily decreased over the past 8-9 years or so. Mostly due to the closing of the Philips plant in Ottawa and also due to many people moving away after high school. Ottawa Glandorf community is an aging community........look in the stands the next time you attend an OG home game.

Are any of these doubters the same people that were on this site talking about how the game had past Seg by...one year BEFORE he won state?

[Bench80]

Dman -

I was thinking the same thing. In the '90's Seggerson could not win the big game either, despite great efforts against Wehrle and other teams. Was it Segs fault Mr. Ohio Basketball did not make a couple of free throws? Obviously, Seg had soemthing to do with developing a great program that allowed his athletes to compete at the highest level, with the team winning some and losing some at a very high level. To look back, Seg went to many regionals before breaking though to qualifying to state, let alone winning it.

From my years of experience, it seems to me that LCC will always have its best athletes playing basketball and wining alot of games, with some years being exceptional and one or two occassionally being frustrating. The coach at the helm will always be very capable, because it is improtant to the community, and they will also always be held to a very high standard, because the community cares and outsiders love a chance to gloat when an LCC team loses. Whether he ever wins a state title, if Coach Kill loses a few more games at the Regional Final level, he will have put himself head and shoulders above the average high school basketball coach and have done a great job continuing the tradition of an excellent program.
