Mahoning Valley Athletic Conference 2023-24

[111411]

I know we've completed the 2023 potion, but I have seen little to nothing on the MVAC. When they were the ITCL, there were some lively interactions on the site. Now, nothing. Where have all the posters gone? I don't even see much about the EOAC...............

I'm kind of out of the loop since we've moved, reached retirement, and are now Viking (not Waterloo) grandparents and future Rough Rider grandparents.

Anyone?

Who is the team to beat?

What are the league standings?

I go all the way back to the Tri-County League and absolutely loved the rivalries that were built up.

11's I didnt even know Yappi was still relevant until talking with another coach recently. Its a shame especially in the realm of the old ITCL teams this site used to be very lively when it came to high school sports.

Lisbon clinched the EOAC title with their win last week against United. After the current seniors graduate it will be a rebuilding process with a lot of underclassmen and not many upper classmen to fill those spots.

I'd love to see the interactions and posts go up for EOAC and MVAC school again.

There used to be a LOT of posters on here from McDonald, E Palestine, a few from Wellsville, and of course, Sebring. Threads were especially active when my kids played for Sebring and for several years after.

It seems like when the old TCL and ITCL leagues reinvented themselves, interest fell by the wayside.

I know I've said this before, but I miss the old rivalries with E Palestine, Columb., Leetonia, Lisbon, United, Crestview, and Southern. There were a lot of characters from those schools, but also respect for each other. I can recall having a lot of conversations with the late Bill Coleman, from your school.

Actually Lisbon clinched a share of the title. They still have to play Columbiana and if the Cluppers win they tie Lisbon for the crown
Valley and Wellsville play next week for 3rd place

I tried to copy and paste from ysnlive but didn't come out that well. In the Scarlett division Springfield clinched a tie with Lowellville needing to beat McDonald to obtain a tie
I don't see anybody from the EOAC or MVAC Scarlett doing anything of significance in the tournament. The best is Labrae of the Grey division- slightly better than Campbell IMO. It would depend on the draw to see which one has a shot at a district championship

I noticed that along with Sebring, Leetonia and Southern are really struggling. I know that Leetonia and Sebring have struggled lately, Leetonia more so, but Southern has had some decent teams. What has happened in Salineville?

When Southern played Beallsville in the ovac consultations games and lost to Beallsville, that Southern must be really really down to lose to them

Southern also split with Leetonia, just to show how down the Indians are this year
I still cannot for the life of me understand how Leetonia beat Wellsville this year. I watched the 1st quarter on YSN and turned it off thinking this game would be a running clock

You still remember the 3 shot foul that was a pass off? What a typical Sebring call. Brook even admitted it to Bingham.

I was waiting for this ................ 1999. My oldest was on that team.

Southern Locals best player quit mid game against us the first go around. First time I have ever seen a player take his shoes off and walk off mid game... Not exactly sure what is going on with them but it seems like they are on a downward spiral into becoming what they used to be in the early 2000's. Jr High only had 1 team due to low numbers. Wellsville is in the same boat.

All roads lead to Richmond Heights in our bracket. We have potential to make it to that game but no chance we contend with them.

I have faith lol if we played them when we were supposed to it would of been a real toss up. Too much riding on that game with it would of been Hucksholds 200th win, Cancer Awareness Game.

I never forgot. I almost got thrown out for the 3 shot pass.

I have never seen anyone leave mid game, unless given an invitation by the men in stripes.

I thought it was a great call. Happened right in front of me. The gentleman sitting beside me still has the same seat, of course in the new gym.

Ahh, the days of those great TCL rivalries.................

Maybe the player was channeling his inner Antonio Brown
