GO OAKS!

I mean really !! Whats to think about ??

Oaks go up by 20-30pts in the first half and put the starters on the bench to get them rested for week 11.

Sure, they have done this all year, huh!

Oaks as big as they want.

Oak Hill doesn't even have to show up to win this game!

O.H.

What is Oak Hill's strategy for a game like this? They need conditioning for the playoffs but how long do they play their starters?

I think this game will be closer than a lot of people think... lol... Oak Hill 56 - 0.....

I'll be supporting Coach Mercer and the "Cats."

I think if Green .........never mind they dont have a chance.
Good luck to the Oaks in the post season.

why do they even play each other

Because Oak Hill is in the wrong SOC Division.

Why wrong division gwell? Oh, I know, because they are a whopping 4 or 5 boys over the D5/6 cutoff! 4 less boys in the school and this would be nothing to consider. It was never a consideration 4 - 5 years ago when the Oaks were winning only 1 game or none! I do believe that if Minford wins against Valley this week and Oak Hill beats Green . . . Oak Hill is the real SOC Champion. Maybe we need to get some of you a little cheese to go with that whine . . . and I did watch Oak Hill BEAT Minford. It would not surprize me at all if the Oaks didn't win AT LEAST one playoff game. They are a very physical team and have good speed.

You are correct, Oak Hill is a very very good team.
But, that was not the question.

Oak Hill only D-5 School in SOC I and they are in SOC II
in all other sports.

I hope we see you in week 11, @ Home ! If you think you are the SOC champs, them move to the SOC II !

They have had two good years, one good one (last year), and one great one (this year)...Last year I doubt they would of finished 5th in the league...This year, they could of won it...but you could say the same thing about that 10-0 East team in 2007, one or two years doesn't mean much...Next year they will be very, very good, but after that I think they go down a bit...one good string of success doesn't mean an Soc 1 should move up to Soc 2, or you could make the arguement East should...

Well considering we already beat you guys why would you continue to run your mouth? makes no sense? we already proved ourselves and would be happy to do it again in week 11

Be honest now.
Division VI 124 Boys or less
SOC 1
ND 36
Green 70
East 78
Symmes 108
Oak Hill 145
Division V 125 to 176 Boys
SOC 2
Burg 150
Valley 152
Minford 169
West 180
Which SOC Division does Oak Hill really belong?
And I also think Oak Hill could have won the SOC 2.

G-Well its not going to happen Oak Hill will stay in the SOC I in football. Its a good fit, go back to the South Gallia thread from last week and I posted the history of Oak Hill in the SOC I. As it always happens small schools have their run of a good group of athletes and then the balance of power always swings to someone else. Symmes Valley had their run and then East had theirs and now its Oak Hill. As I said earlier go back to what I posted on the South Gallia thread about the history of the Oaks in the SOC I you can go back and look it up. They have never won the conference in their history of being in it. Most years they have been 2-2 in the conference one year they were 0-4 in it. There were never any complaints then when that was happening and when the balance of power shifts back to someone else in the future there will probably be nothing said then.

The 2nd string gets some more experience....

Oak Hill 55
Green 14

Charles, that's your honest answer? Oak Hill has just this year learned how to play football.

Oak hill has always persued a league that they thought they could dominate,for some reason they think if they are the biggest school in the league that can win it every year. In the late 80's early 90's they got in the SVAC where the schools at that time in that league prob had around 80 boys each if that many.Oak Hill at that time had prob 125 to 140. The 4 years they were in that league they won it twice and got beat twice. Same old thing! They were in the OVC at one time and they were the River Valley of that league so they dropped out. Win at all cost no matter who you have to beat to do it.

Blue, don't know if that is totally true or not. Have heard that the two non-football schools in Pike County had something to do with South Gallia not getting into the SOC 1 because they didn't want to drive to South Gallia once a year. If that would had happened, Oak Hill would have moved up.

Oak Hill had more boys on the team than some of those schools had enrolled in the school. So what, that isn't why they won. It was because they had a rutter by proxy at the helm. Oak Hill will name the score in this one. And if you met their coach, and know anything about rutters, you would swear he is one.




Just my thoughts guys!

OH 48-0

My point is they didn't win every year they won 2 years and lost 2years to Kyger Creek which was a single A power in the area from the 50's until the school was shut down in 91 for River Valley,Kyger Creek prob graduated 40 or less kids every year.

OK, back to the question. Which SOC Division should Oak Hill really belong in?

Im not saying that G Well, Im not saying that they just learned to play football . Im saying that the athletics go up and down in smaller schools. The kids any given year can execute their assignments and play hard and the coaches can work their butts off but if they are in a down cycle and other team they are facing has a better pool of talent at that time , chances are the team in the up cycle is going to come out on top.It goes in cycles, you have down years and up years. You can get a lot of mileage developing linemen, fullbacks and linebackers in the weight room, but if the other team has some really good skill kids , its going to be tough unless your fighting them in a phone booth.The kids at Oak Hill have worked really hard in the weight room all year and have generally improved each year they have been playing. They are also fortunate enough to be in a cycle of good talent , with kids that are really working hard abd some exceptional skill kids.

They also held every boy with talent back in the one class in elementry school ,thus they have 3 SR.s and 25 Jr.s it is benificial!
The talent gets less after that class is gone

One more time Charles.
Which SOC Division should Oak Hill belong in?
Just admit it.

When they were 0-10 a few years ago no one brought this up, now they are going to finish 10-0 and people start bashing them. Why are people so jealous? Great things are happening in Oak Hill, you should be proud of them. Is the the state championship they won in basketball that gets people to bash em on here a little bit, or what? Get over it. Move on

GOOOO OAKS

Where have I bashed them? I said they are a very very good team and could have won the SOC 2.
Will anyone from Oak Hill admit what SOC Division they really belong in? Their past record has nothing to do with it.

I would like to know which kids were held back? You can pm me if you would like.

I'm taking Green by 30+! Statement game for them!

Everybody knows that Oak Hill will win this game,
but Green will play hard like they always do
and you can't ask any more than that.

GO CATS.
