Offense looked a lot better...Clay Payton went out on crutches not goodGreenon-65
Bradford- 6
no surprises here.
congrats to Greeneview for the bounce back win!! not sure how good waynesville really is but nice gritty win for the Rams.
congrats to Gabe JonesCongrats to Gabe Jones for breaking the WJ record for rushing 312 yards in a game.
yeah yeah. they should’ve gone to 14 in my opinion from the get go but that’s just me. i hate the 8 league games. if they were to have 3 non league games, it would help some teams get harbins.^^^ you’re a few years late.

i was thinking north union and riverside, and move northeastern to the south. i would go as far to even say miami trace and east clinton. miami east is a stretch.Only a handful
I know they were close. North Union wanted in, but the southern schools didn’t want that. It’s a shame, that’s a school that makes the conference better in multiple sports
The OHC will need to look different in not too many years to survive and this is an all sport observation.how do you guys feel like possible expansion? any solid candidates?? the league is OK for now but its still fun to talk about
i don’t think Triad would want in on that but everyone else? love the idea. that poses the question- what about all the other schools and where do they go? TRC? CBC? for Cedarville and Central, maybe the MBCThe OHC will need to look different in not too many years to survive and this is an all sport observation.
One way to do it will create a big/small split. Enrollment would have Greenon, West Jeff, West Lib, Greeneview, MP, Fairbanks, (NE maybe still bigger than Fairbanks but not for long) on one side and NE, Triad, Mechanicsburg, SE, Cville, and SCC on the other. For all sports this could create a balance that can sustain the OHC longer, travel even works out okay IMO.
I would rather see Fairbanks, West Jeff, Burg, Triad, & maybe MP join up with Worthington Christian, Grandview Heights, Grove City Christian, Bishop Ready, Bexly and create a Columbus based league that would get the kids better recognized and be easier(not always less miles but less minutes) travel. North Union may want in on something like that.
Times change - Triad and Burg could still play W. Lib, or other current OHC teams in non conference not sure if that splits up any other rivals. Just an opinion.
The trend right now is to smaller leagues due to a disparity in crossover games. Not sure if Springfield area schools are like that but it only goes to reason that some of the schools in the OHC would kill schools from the NWCC.The OHC will need to look different in not too many years to survive and this is an all sport observation.

i agree but i just think there’s a much bigger difference between D1-D3 than D5-D7 and that’s why the OHC works. adding anyone in those divisions would fit fine and maybe even a D4 team that isn’t a juggernaut but has nice facilities and fits geographicallyThe trend right now is to smaller leagues due to a disparity in crossover games.

Look at the GWOC. Centerville playing West Carrollton. Seriously? My experience is with Milton-Union. The disparity in the SWBL isn’t quite as wide but Franklin playing Dixie is a laugher.
Those games defeat the purpose of a split conference.
The way I see it, the set-up wouldn’t have been that big of an issue if not for the fact London and Madison-Plains decided to join the MSL in the first place. WJ had even worse drives before (3x to Fairfield County, 1x to Pataskala and 1x to Harvest Prep.)Some of those schools already tried the "Columbus league" idea with Grandview, Bexley, Worthington Christian and others, and it was short-lived and terrible. It's why West Jeff and Madison-Plains are in the OHC now and London is back in the CBC. Terrible rush hour travel and often times disproportionate competition levels in non-revenue sports.
The OHC should ride out it's current lineup for as long as it can.

I can’t speak for West Jeff, but I imagine they weren’t as distressed with the travel as the other two were. Still, I’m sure they’re a lot happier where they’re at now. That was an absolutely horrific and half-a**ed idea by the MSL and the league is still paying the consequences for it even today.
From WLS Color on the CBC thread
"Lots of good young talent on BL. WLS played about as well of a half as I’ve ever seen a team play. No one in the OHC will beat WLS"!!!
If I'm going to post, might as well make it count!
wls_color - I think your comment of "Lots of good young talent on BL. WLS played about as well of a half as I’ve ever seen a team play. No one in the OHC will beat WLS"!!! was taken a bit out of text. Perhaps Down The Road was just pulling your chain trying or trying to get a reaction out of you, I do not know. However, I think it's a bit premature to feel that a great WLS performance vs a Ben Logan (1-1) Div IV program that has gone 27-26 over the last 6 seasons with only one playoff appearance in 2016 will be enough to run the table in the OHC. If that WLS performance was vs a Clinton Massie, Covington, London, Jonathan Alder or a MAC school - that would be something completely different. WLS is a very good program but there is a lot of football yet to be played.
