I don’t believe in football (as they’re not playing a full OCC schedule)- I think that starts in 2026. Maybe in the other sports, though?
I thought it started next year? But either way I'd like to know if anyone knows a schedule? Are we playing green again? I hope we keep that series going.
No it looks like most sports in 2025, football in 2026:
Looks like just missing Lexington and Mansfield from the OCC. Unfortunately no Green or IV next year (at this moment). Also apparently ended the series with Canfield? But I could see them waiting to fill the other weeks first, as those two also seem to find a week to play.No it looks like most sports in 2025, football in 2026:

He’s the latest schedule that I found in another thread:
DOVER
1@ Canton GlenOak
2
3(H) West Holmes
4
5@ Ashland
6(H) Steubenville
7@ Wooster
8(H) Mansfield Madison
9@ Linsly (WV)
10(H) New Philadelphia
Dover will need 1 of the 2 openings to be a home game so that will likely be the deciding factor.
Garaway
open both week 2,4 just sayingI'd like to see it, just don't know if the AD would go for it.Garaway
Why, does he have something against Garaway I'm just wondering I would love to visit Crater again. Yes Garaway is smaller but will almost guarantee 8 to 10 wins every year.
IV does not have NP on their schedule next year, they have them in 26
It's kind of a lose/lose for Dover. If they beat Garaway it's because they were bigger, but if they lose it looks worse.
Why is it always the narrative that Dover rejects other teams,maybe Garaway is not interested
Do you know who IV has picked up for next year?
From other threads, it looks like they picked up Kirtland.
Because he’s been there for 30 years and wants to retire.
I would love to see a Dover and Garaway game.Garaway
It would be a great game again it's not like garaway won't win 8 to 9 games next year. Close bring in great crowds. Maybe one day
Garaway scheduled Cardinal Mooney & West Muskingum. They are not afraid to schedule tough teams, and I'm sure won't shy away from Dover. Still for someone who grew up in T County its wild that there is even a discussion that Garaway and Dover should play each other!
I agree especially your last sentence. I think Dover was about 10 years ahead of the rest of the T county region back in 2006 when Dover made its first trip to the regional finals followed by 5 more in the next 6 years,but now I think IV proved itself with 3 pretty good games and 1 win over Dover and Garaway and Ridgewood would both be tough outs when playing Dover during good years.
Definitely, and I think that is a testament to Ifft's legacy. While so many teams in the county bunkered down with the Wing-T ad Power I, he began to throw the ball more. When those Wing-T teams began to throw the ball a bit more, he went full air-raid. I remember he was one of the first coaches to take plyometrics and speed training seriously and supplemented his strength training with them. In a way, Ifft's innovations kinda forced the other local coaches to see that if they don't adapt, they will fall behind. Once they embraced it, the playing field began to level out.
I agree with this. It makes Garaway a better football team but for Dover it doesn't do anything for them. You don't get better in division 3 by playing division 5 schools.
I heard the NP/IV game isnt happening now. I really dont know if thats true
IV and NP are not playing in 25 but are scheduled for 26.
