[size=x-small]BRF, I hope this simple message of congratulations is not "annoying." :)[/size]
Why would that be annoying?......and thanks!

Well, I see the Daily Record is at it again. They have Wasson scoring 25, BUT my own eyes saw the scorebook AND the Beacon Journal backs it up at 27.

RR1: There were plenty of seats available, along with many who have reserved seats that didn't show up. Shelby had a medium sized, but very vocal, student section. I would call it a good turnout, though.

I'll add 27 points to the Wasson Watch. I have 29 as his career high against Nw'n in his frosh year.

Was in C-bus, but got on FHuddle to see the score late. Thanks for posting it. Some people may remember Andy Hibinger from basketball here at Orrville. I heard on Saturday he was very sick in a hospital in Akron with an unknown brain infection of some kind. Remember him in your prayers.

Hate to break the bad news but a fellow Rider has passed. Andy Hibinger passed I believe early this morning or late last night. Keep the family in your prayers.

Wasson with 27 and Besancon 15.

Wasson was pretty much unstopable. IMO, Shelby made it close because of the absence of Jake. We gave too many free looks at 3's due to our top heavy side of big men.

Congrats to Coach Slaughter!

Hoobler and Miller were not even there. I wonder if they are just going to hang it up, due to their injuries and our depth?
yes brf the 3 ball was open for shelby i have them 6 for 10 in the first half and with jake sitting didn't help . I also would like to give my congrats to coach slaughter on win number ONE.!!

I would like to send my thought and prayers to the Hibinger family on the passing of andy.

Very sad. Didn't know the man, but reading his wife's journal on Caring Bridge is about enough to break your heart.

Thoughts and prayers to his family.

I would like to clear something up and that is that it is true that Miller and Hoobler were at college visits. And they are not quitting, however it is up in the air as to when they can take the court due to their injuries.

I would like to add that those two are favorites of BRF and that they both do very well in the classroom.

With that said, the result of their trips indicates that Hoobler may not be going to Akron, after all, and that Miller is very close to making a choice. I don't want to post on here where, but if you want to know, you can PM me.

I am very saddened about the loss of Andy Hibinger. What a tragedy.

I really did not think that Miller or Hoobler would have quite. I will say this it would not surprise me if they end up at the same college. That said Akron facility is awesome, so if he stays with that choice it will be a great choice.

Good luck boys.

At this point, it appears as though they will not be at the same college, nor at Akron.

btw, you saying "quite" reminds me of my oldest daughter slipping me a note a LONG time ago that said to be "quite" because she was trying to sleep.

Imagine that, me running my mouth when someone was trying to get some sleep!! ha ha

Next game up......Senior Tygers.

With Jake back, I look for a Rider victory.

Dang....I knew of this earlier today but didn't get it posted to my blog until almost 6pm. Didn't think the ABJ would be this quick.

Congrats to Chase.

rrfan,
they knew about him visiting IU, so I'm sure they just followed up on Monday morning and found out when I did. It's all over the papers/blogs that cover IU football.

I know rr1 I was just playing. However for Orrville sports they should check with you first. It would make them more accurate.

Congrats to Sam and Coach Davault. Coach is working for his guys to get looks by these schools. That is something that used to be missing in Orrville Football.

Congrats to both.
