Some REALLY ugly scores coming in.
Article in The Courier that indicates NB is leaving the BVC to go independent starting next year. I don’t have a subscription and I’ve used up my free clicks, but I hope to read it soon.I was at the NB scrimmage on Friday. Numbers are not great, but I saw or heard nothing that would indicate an impending change in league affiliation or a change from 11-man. I'm thinking that it is a misattributed quote.
On the other hand, I'm hoping that the village is planning to do some work on the lights in the next two weeks before the Crestline game, or they could be a Crooksville situation. I had never seen a football scrimmage called on account of darkness before--and that was with the lights on!
Thats an odd move...their AD must love putting himself through hell in the autumn months.I don't know if we can copy/paste those kinds of articles, but it mainly says that NB is just going independent for football, staying in the BVC for the rest of their sports teams, and still plans on playing BVC teams. They just feel being a football independent is best for their program right now. No mention of 8-man, but I have to wonder...
The article also covers recent BVC moves (Leipsic, C-R, Elmwood).
pretty sure that is the plan...I don’t think Elmwood entered the league under the impression CR, NB or Vanlue would be a part of it.Once Vanlue finally gives up, that'll give the BVC a nice 8 in football. Unless I'm missing a move and have it wrong.
I mean, does this even leave c

To bring this back to top.
Heard Vanlue had a kid break his leg last week so down to 11 rest of the year but they are going to keep going on.
They still have made it through 6 weeks.. somehowTo bring this back to top.

Yes those kids should be applauded. To go out there and never leave the field while kicking your kicked week after week. Hell they could even pick up a win against Cory-Rawson.They still have made it through 6 weeks.. somehow
Won't everyone in the Lake schedule Bellevue anyway?Bellevue to Bay?
Yuck
Perhaps, but I believe Perkins would be a better fit.Won't everyone in the Lake schedule Bellevue anyway?

Perhaps but at the end of the day, enrollment rules. It may change after two years. From what I read, there are four schools with pretty close enrollments. I think they tried the "better fit" when this big league started and it was a mistake, IMO (Shelby/Vermilion) so I can understand why it was an enrollment decision.Perhaps, but I believe Perkins would be a better fit.
It's rumored the SBC football divisions starting in 2023 will be:
Lake:
Sandusky
Tiffin Columbian
Norwalk
Clyde
Perkins
Bay:
Bellevue
Vermilion
Port Clinton
Edison
Huron
River:
Willard
Margaretta
Lakota
Woodmore
Gibsonburg
Hopewell-Loudon
Tiffin Calvert
Fremont St. Joseph
We already knew Oak Harbor was out and Woodmore was coming in. The changes would be moving Bellevue from Lake to Bay and Willard from Bay back to the River.
Note, these divisions are football only. There are 4 other schools in the SBC thst do not have 11 man football: Sandusky St. Mary and Danbury which have 8 man, Old Fort and New Riegel which have zero football.
Yes, size is the difference. Lake, Bay and River are a play on big, medium and small...though as has been pointed out there's not a huge difference between the bottom of the Lake and top of the Bay. Right now there are 3 Lake teams and 4 Bay teams together in region 14.I like the SBC and think they're a great conference, but I'm not all that familiar with it. What exactly is the difference between the Lake and Bay divisions? Is it just school size? It does look like Lake schools are slightly bigger, but not really by all that much. Is the idea of the SBC format that they have their pod of a division and then do a certain number of crossover games with other SBC members?
Yeah I don’t think Huron or Edison would go for that. Especially with Hurons enrollment numbers taking a dive in the next few years.Heck with it; throw all 10 together
Mandatory crossovers (two) are required between the Lake and Bay with the 2023 setup.Yes, size is the difference.

Right now there are 3 Lake teams and 4 Bay teams together in region 14.
Under the current setup the divisions operate as separate conferences when it comes to scheduling. Crossovers are not mandatory, but many voluntary ones do happen to fill out schedules. It's unknown for sure whether mandatory crossovers will be part of this realignment, but I would guess those are likely to be implemented to fill out the byes that Lake and Bay teams will have in weeks 6-10.
Huron isn't going to be happy regardless.Yeah I don’t think Huron or Edison would go for that. Especially with Hurons enrollment numbers taking a dive in the next few years.
