Big game on Thursday in the Dean Dome where you never know what may happen. Both teams undefeated so far. BVC may be decided. Saw on another topic where an A-town fan stated the Devils should have smooth sailing the rest of the season. Think they may have forgot about this game plus some others on their schedule yet to be played. Lb has 3 nice seniors who carry the load. Believe the Devils are young but talented. Of course you can't forget about the sideshow the coaches will provide. I have no idea of either teams weaknesses or strengths. What you think about this one?

lol. Not sure who said it was smooth sailing the schedule is about to get really tough.

Should be a good one, Arlington is one of the few teams on LB's schedule who matches up size wise. Kotey is having a BVC- POY kind of year, Nichols has the size and skill to slow her down. LB likes to play that 2-3 zone and really make you score from the perimeter. Arlington will need to hit the 3 ball, and disrupt LB's 1/2 court offense to have a shot in this one.

Arlington finds out where they are at this week. Played a soft schedule thus far with wins over a seemly-improving Ada team 56-46 and a 6-5 Ottoville team 42-20. First real test of the season. Then the meat of the schedule USV, Leipsic, Riverdale, Minster, New Riegel, Arcadia to prep for the tourney.

Ain't no way in hello Arlington beat Ottoville by 22 points. They're not O-G. My Ottoville bud made a comment that Green should have won that game. No way he would have said that if they lost by 22 points. He's one of the few in that part of the county that has any sense.

General, Arlington beat Ottoville by 2....

Didn't see the game, but the article had LB 8-11 from 3 point land, Arlington 0-11. Always good to see good teams play each other, gets you ready for the tournament. LB should cruise through the rest of the BVC.

Liberty hit about every shot they put up and Arlington missed every perimeter shot they put up , you are not going to beat a team like LB when those 2 things happen . Ottoville never led in the game against Arlington ,so I think you would have atough time saying they should have won.

[Coach_B]

Yep my fat fingers were mistaken. Arlington beat Ottoville 42-40.

This was the major difference in the game.

He said If the Lady Green played the first quarter like they did the rest of the game they would have won. Can't win a game like that playing 3 quarters. Also stated they missed an easy shot at the buzzer that would have tied the game. Maybe he was wrong. I wasn't there.

Can rocketman and flounder make room for bluffton pirate to join them at the classic this weekend? His LB by 20 prediction over Arlington was right on. This is the second big game this year in which the LB bench stepped up when 2 or 3 starters got into foul trouble and were on the bench. Instead of Arlington making a run with kotey and simon on the bench, LB increased it's lead. 3 point shooting hurt Red Devils who went 0-11. Arlington pressure defense created 21 turnovers but couldn't capitalize.
