Summers played a very good game, especially hitting those 3 pointers.

I listened to the game and I would have to say that besides Summers' hot shooting, Chad Harrison came through with a couple of big 3's and Luke had 5 of his 8 points in the final minutes when the game was close.

Good effort by everyone!!

Really played well. Seemed to play as a team. Everyone playing hard. If we play this way we'll be better than my prediction of 9 wins. Kyle Ritchie played well on both ends of the court. Simpson is playing way tougher than I thought him capable. If we only had another big guy, I think we could make some waves in the post season tournament. Should be fun to play DA Bears tomorrow.

Good game. Waynedale out rebounded us and is a solid team. WCAL has a lot of good teams this year.

Fun slate of games yesterday in Wooster. Looks like the riders are coming around and look like they will exceed expectations. Is definitely looking like a fun tourney in Wooster with the riders and 5 or 6 solid wcal teams among others. First I have seen summers play and I get more than a few flashbacks of his dad.

Riders beat Clear Fork. Another road OCC win. 5 wins in a row too.

At Norwayne Saturday should be fun. Nice to see the kids having fun, the coach preaching fun as a way of playing loose & relaxed and it resulting in success.

Nice win at Norwayne on Saturday. The boys played well and several guys stepped up with some big shots. Senior comes to town this weekend after a loss to Lex.

Keep it rolling boys!

Just FYI....Orrville's game Friday vs Senior has been moved to a 5:00 jv start time.

Have to make sure everyone is home in time to watch the OSU football game!

We are getting good minutes off the bench as well with Zook and Harrison. Amir is also playing well.

Lexington shoots 38 foul shots to Orrville's 8 on the night and we still had a chance to win in dbl OT. Tough loss, but when a team gets 30 more freebies at the stripe thats tough to overcome!

That was Red Rider basketball tonight from tip till the final buzzer. Lots of hustle and intensity. If we bring that same effort every game we will be tough to beat come tourney time. We had fresh legs running in and out of the game and that was too much for Woo.
Way to go Riders!

Important to beat Smithville (who is playing well) tonight for seeding in tourney. Two home games would be nice.

Any of the top 4 seeds should have the opportunity for 2 home sectional games. Those that take a bye would only get 1 home game and top 6 seeds should all get a home game. Looks like there will be 3 byes so probably only 1 team will play 2 at home.
Very disappointed with the slim turnout last night at Senior.Only a handful of true fans made it to Mansfield, mostly parents or relatives of players or cheerleaders. Sad but true. I had the feeling before the game that Luke Smith would step it up tonight and did he ever have his best game of the season. Good job Red Riders!

Big turn out for the game. Closest to being sold out that I've seen. Should make us the 2 seed.

I'm from Norwayne and I'd make you the #1 seed. Anything less than #2 would be a travesty. Orrville won the head to head with Norwayne, who won the WCAL. They (you) also beat Waynedale and Smithville, who are the hottest WCAL teams.

But they'll probably go: Norwayne, Orrville, Dalton, and Tuslaw. The next few seeds will probably be WCAL teams (Chipps, Bears, Smithies) and Fairless.
