Fisher found a week 10 game
Good reminder that week 10’s vs Manchester, Amanda playing woeful Lucas, meandering contracts with Martins Ferry and BC sitting open in week 8 can easily be remedied by simply shunting LU over to the Cardinal…
MSL is a mess
I agree. The stepping stones are there. Going from 1-9 to 4-6 in a year isn't easy. I can only expect they can go up, right?
I think so. Having someone like the guy they got who I foresee staying for a good stint will allow them to actually grow. With how things are going around Columbus, the trajectory of Circleville is upwards I think it will reflect in all the Pickaway schools imo Westfall and Logan Elm should improve
Roundtown under Sharrett will catch some serious momentum if they’re in Region 12 for D3 or Region 15 for D4.
100% in R15, no disrespect to any of the teams there as Waverly came in and was able to compete right away in what I thought was a down year for us. And if Cville can avoid being in R11 that’s a win
Didn't know we had a Dock after hours burner account
There’s no escaping the long arm.
Stretching from Sheetz on Memorial Drive to the top of Athens County and then some.
Having the memory of an elephant is a good thing, actually!
I've not even logged onto the site in about a month. I gave up on it. Trimble for the most part isn't very welcome on there. In fact, if your not named Ironton or Wheelersburg, your not welcome on there for the most part. Nothing matters but those 2 schools.
If only West and Logan’s heydays were twenty years later.
One's taken a step back, the other has fallen off the cliff.
They’ve turned over every stone imaginable in Chieftain land.
SEO’s success that is ‘here to stay’ will be in Divisions V-VII. An example would be Washington County: Waterford is closer to winning a regional than Marietta is to winning a week 11.
That's an uphill battle that isn't worth fighting in that conference. It's a lose lose situation for the kids and the coaches as the talent gap between the OCC and Logan is stupid.
Marietta's situation is far beyond the field and that goes to the school board. They ran out a coach who seemed perfectly content staying at Marietta and building a program. I think Marietta's last winning season before this year was 2002 when they went 8-2.
Valley the past few years hasn't been your typical 3-7 pushover.
I agree. The lack of comparable programs in the area hurts. The SOC II on a strong year (Burg, West and Waverly firing on all cylinders) is brutal for a decent Valley team, but they wouldn’t benefit from the SOC I unless all of those programs leveled up at the same time.
The SOC I would put Valley in an Athens like situation if they were to drop down. Stronger teams getting bounced earlier due to the lack of competition. I feel like the SVC would be good for Valley hypothetically speaking.
There’s also an appreciable difference between Valley’s recent 3-7 streak and the falters of Northwest & Oak Hill in the SOC II (as promotions ‘up’ from the SOC I.)
Adding to this history lesson, I believe Buckeye South and Buckeye West consolidated and became
Oak Hill should've accepted the TVC invite. Blows my mind they didn't.
I would agree, but whether the TVC was wise to invite them is a different discussion (e.g. the N-Y POV.)
I wouldn't see why NY wouldn't want them in. They played 3 times in 6 seasons. Unless NY didn't want more travel than there needs to be from their pov.
