-There are no soccer teams in the IVC, they have both a girls and boys team
IVC schools with soccer programs (based on the 2020 district tournament brackets):Does Sandy Valley and Tuscarawas Valley not have a boys soccer program anymore? As of a few years ago, I knew they each had one. Obviously, that's still a majority of IVC without soccer even if those two schools still have soccer.
Yes, I misspoke stating no soccer in the IVC, really meant that the opportunity to play two league games with the Hiland girls is not even scheduled. No disrespect to Ridgewood or Sandy Valley...but the level of play is significantly different....
And the boys only play Tusky Valley (do they even consider that a league game with the winner the champion?), so soccer is really not considered a sport that the IVC competes in for championships.
The discussion topic centers around wouldn't a different league like the PAC-7 better serve Hiland athletics, specifically girls basketball and the soccer programs.
Aside from some lopsided girls basketball games, does Hiland have any real desire to leave the IVC?
I just wanted to clarify I didn't mean any animosity by it. I haven't been at any IVC games in any sport in the past couple years, so I didn't know if there was anyone other than Hiland left in soccer in the conference. I hear a lot of people say soccer participation has been going up in past decade, so I thought it was interesting that there could be some schools out there that lost their soccer programs.Yes, I misspoke stating no soccer in the IVC, really meant that the opportunity to play two league games with the Hiland girls is not even scheduled.
