2009-2010 Indians

All right, the big weekend in the Little Ten turned out to be the no-weekend in the Buried Ten, as God cancelled nearly all SHL games. We did get an eyebrow-raising Whiteoak victory over Fairfield (61-39), but there's a lot of basketball left to play. The Eastern/Peebles matchup is delayed until mid-February, which cuts me to the bone.

Sixty percent chance on snow on Monday, so we'll see.

Some nice matchups ahead, though. Eastern Brown (7-1, 3-0 SHL) should have their week well in hand, playing West Union (1-3, 0-2 SHL) and Lynchburg (3-4, 2-0 SHL) before heading off to Chesapeake for the Beasts of the Southeast tournament to play South Point.

Peebles (7-0, 3-0 SHL) has a big week ahead of them, playing an inconsistent Manchester team with a solid overall (5-4) and a weak SHL record (1-4). Manchester could be a real threat to Peebles' undefeated run with a healthy Blevins on the roster, and it's never fun playing the Hounds in The Gym Down by the River.

The Hounds get three games in the Gym Down by the River this week, playing Peebles, Lynchburg, and (D-2) New Richmond at home.

The Whiteoak Wildcats (5-5, 2-2 SHL), still pumped from their Fairfield victory, are looking to break free from .500, playing Fayetteville on Tuesday before a BIG SHL game against Ripley (5-3, 2-2 SHL) Friday.

After Whiteoak, Kennedy's Blue Jays have a rough matchup in Georgetown against the 6-2 G-Men.

Fairfield (5-5, 3-2 SHL) has a week to lick their wounds and prepare for a matchup against Fayetteville (2-6, 0-3 SHL).

Also on Friday the fiercest rivalry in the SHL gets a rematch, as the Indians face off against the Green Devils, (1-8, 1-3 SHL). They last met in the Holiday Tournament Finals, where North Adams kept it tight, leading after the first. However, after Blake Justice got going the Indians buried the proud devils by 21, damn-near their first victory against NA since the LAST time Lawhorn coached there. Passions ran high on the hardwood, and Young's Boys are probably itching for a revenge win.

The Devils close out their week at the Beasts of the Southeast Tourney, playing 6-0 Racine Southern Tornadoes. The Tornadoes are probably feeling the sting from pfloyd's snubbing them from his Elite 8, so they'll be playing hard this week.
