Thoughts on O-G vs Bath.

[The Owl]

OG struggles vs. athletic big men. If Bath has 2 guys 6'4" or greater that are fairly physical and can cancel out OG's big men, it'll come down to outside shooting.

OG shoots like they did vs. Leipsic, they can beat anyone.

Overall, this team seems to be improving. They are getting great intensity and quality play from their bench, which really has been an OG trademark for years.

OG leads the all-time series 44-9 and if I'm not mistaken have won quite a few in a row. Falcon can probably verify that for you. That being said I think the homecourt advantage makes the Wildcats a slight favorite. Of the Titans' 17 games this season only 4 have been decided by less than 10 points with OG 4-0 in those games.

I think OG has won every game since about 1992. Not sure about that though.

Bath 56
OG 51
it's going to be a hard stretch for the titans until tourney time.

The last time Bath beat OG was in the 1990-91 season, Bath also beat OG the previous season1990. Before that it was 1974.

Including tournament games OG has won 41 of the past 44 meetings between the 2.

But from 1965-1973 Bath won 6 out of the 9 games.

Wow, those numbers are Bath/Shawnee girls-like.

If OG shoots like they go against leipsic it will be a great game...however on the other hand if they shoot bad it could get ugly with that being said I'm going with bath by 10

It'll be interesting to see how Bath bounces back from the loss at Elida. OG has gotten better each week in the season and put the hurt on Leipsic. That being said, I think OG is headed in the right direction, while I think Bath will start to fade off.
OG 56 Bath 50

Make it 42 of the past 45 for OG as the titans win 63-51.........it was a 17 point spread with a minute to go and Bath made some garbage baskets at the end, but overall a very good performance by OG. The titans really look to be hitting stride. OG defended well and rebounded well and shot well: a great formula for winning.

Titans JV moved to 14-4 with an OT win, also.

I missed the final stats, how many did davis have? 8-10?

[lepiota]

Wow, parents night at the end of one of Bath's most sucessful seasons in a long time playing against a team they haven't beaten since 1992 and OG fans outnumber Bath fans by at least a 2-1 margin....unreal. I can't imagine kids having to play with that kind of support. Unbelievable!!!

When you have nearly four decades of a program that has been at the bottom of the league for the most part, one fairly successful year is not going change peoples views or attitudes towards a program. Really it is a shame. Coach Davis has worked his tail off from my observations 20 miles away to rebuild this program and with a fairly good j-v team supposedly on the horizon deserves the support of the Bath community. The girls program at Bath has dominated the sports landscape on the corner of Bible and Slabtown roads and in my view that is not going to change. Just a thought, I wonder how the fans would react if Greg Mauk coached the boys instead of the girls and had built this program up similar to what Doug Davis has? The boys basketball teams deserve better support from their fans.

lets hope the same support for the bb team occurs in march when we vote down the elemantary school levy.
