Both Boys and Girls Varsity teams will look to remain unbeaten in SVC play in a busy week ahead for Sherman Tank Basketball

Tuesday: The girls team travels to take on Southeastern (5-0, 9-2)
All-Time Series: Unioto leads 59-43
Last Season: the Tanks swept the Panthers, 57-33 and 47-20
Preview: The Panthers returned 4 starters from a year ago and added senior Skyler Hice, who sat out last season with an injury. With a veteran team and Hice's talent and leadership, the Panthers have rolled to an outstanding start. The Shermans will need to continue their outstanding pressure defense that has held SVC teams to below 30 points per game in their first 5 league games. Seniors Amber Cottrill and Hallie Pinkerton will have the big defensive assignments as the Tanks look to win their 27th consecutive league game. 

Thursday: The girls team will host Paint Valley (1-4, 2-9) to finish the first round of league play
All-Time Series: Unioto leads 72-19
Last Season: the Shermans swept the Bearcats, 79-36 and 51-19
Preview: The Bearcats have struggled in the early goings of the season, but feature several outstanding multi-sport athletes that can certainly cause some headaches for the Tanks. Seniors Emily Coleman and Cree Stulley will carry the scoring load once again, while sophomore Avery Miller looks to build off of an outstanding holiday break. 

Friday: The boys travel to Williamsport to battle Westfall (2-4, 5-6)
All-Time Series: Unioto leads 55-43
Last Season: the teams split, each winning on the other's home court. 
Preview: the Mustangs are led by the senior backcourt of Jay Wyman (12 ppg) and Hayden Lemaster, while 6'4 junior Luke Blackburn (11 ppg, 8 rpg) is a load inside for the scarlet and gray. Westfall has been somewhat up and down, but features several standout athletes and play very hard. It is never easy to win in the Dome, so the Shermans will need to continue their outstanding defensive efforts if they want to complete the first half of the league unbeaten. 

Saturday: The boys travel to Greenfield to take on McClain (3-8)
All-Time Series: McClain leads 23-11
Last Season: the Shermans pulled off the upset at home, 57-55. 
Preview: the Tigers have struggled in the early goings, after 2 of their 3 returning starters did not end up returning to the program for their senior seasons. However, they are led by an outstanding sophomore in Bryson Badgley (15.3 ppg) who is already a star and will continue to evolve his game.

CHILLICOTHE — A milestone was hit Saturday night for Unioto coach Matt Hoops, and it’s came exactly five years after his last career benchmark.
Hoops’ Shermans beat Southeastern by a 50-34 final, signaling the heralded head coach’s 200th career win.
On Jan. 3, 2015, Hoops earned his 100th win against Westfall, who he started his career with.
His career record now stands at 200-130 — 187-102 at Unioto and 13-28 at Westfall.
“All of our players and coaches have played a huge role. It would be tough to mention all of them without forgetting someone,” Hoops said. “I’ve been blessed to be surrounded with outstanding coaches and players.”
Two of Hoops’ assistant coaches — John Bruce and Nick Easterday — have been with him during his 100-200 win tenure.
Together, they’ve led the program to multiple conference, sectional and district crowns. Those wins are the ones that stand out in Hoops’ mind the most.
“The SVC, sectional and district titles have all been special,” Hoops said. “We have definitely enjoyed each and every win because we know how difficult they are to come by.”
As Hoops’ coaching legacy continues to take form, currently, his Shermans sit at 8-2 overall and at the top of the SVC’s standings with a 6-0 mark.
He hopes his success with the Shermans continues in the years to come.
“I think, as a coach, you are constantly trying to find ways to improve and evolve,” Hoops said. “Great players make it easy to improve as a coach, which we’ve certainly had.”
Unioto is back in action this coming Friday, hosting Westfall.
