Re: *Breaking* Oak Hill TVC Discussions
My question is Athens. What do they do if Oak Hill is admitted to the TVC. Athens is already playing the weakest schedule of any division 3 school in the state. Now you are talking about adding another division 6 school in Oak Hill with subpar athletic programs to the schedule. My question is if yo...

Re: *Breaking* Oak Hill TVC Discussions
Stay in the TVC. Gallia also plays a terrible schedule in D4. It’s just part of being in SEO. Really? You are comparing Gallia's schedule to Athens? The school that purposely blew up the SEOAL so they could play in a league with schools 2 and 3 divisions smaller than them. The OVC is the best area ...

Re: SOC to vote on 3 Football Divisions (Thurs.)
I have no idea why the SOC and OVC refuse to compromise on a blended football only conference . There is a solution to this competitive balance issue, but it's like the powers that be won't take yes for an answer. Times change and so do traditions. Southeast Ohio needs to get with the times. SOVC Ir...

Re: Week 11: 9-1 Vinton County @ 8-2 Gallia Academy
Gallia needs to stay put in the OVC. The league that accepted them when the SEOAL was folding. The one and only benefit to joining the TVC would be the ever so slightly shorter travel distances. The OVC has the edge in basically every other category. Most notably, the superior competition. If Gallia...

Re: Meigs @ Gallia Academy 8.19.23
Burrow is an anomaly and a special situation. Athens and southeastern Ohio in general will probably never see an athlete like him again.

Re: Meigs @ Gallia Academy 8.19.23
Don't care one way or the other but using the better league prepares them for the grind of the playoffs is WAY over used. Only a few teams in our area could say or need that and Gallia definitely isn't one of them. So you are saying Gallia shouldn't aspire? If league titles are the only goal, then ...

Re: Meigs @ Gallia Academy 8.19.23
I've said for years that the TVC would be a better fit for GA than playing in a Lawrence county league which has your shortest travel time at a little less than an hour by bus. Meanwhile, TVC-Ohio would have a 15 minute trip to RV, 30-40 minutes to Meigs, VC, and Wellston, an hour or so to Athens, ...

Re: Meigs @ Gallia Academy 8.19.23
Gallia to the TVC? Meigs, Wellston, VC, NY would all be big gates for Gallia. That'd probably be much better than the OVC.

Re: Ironton voted out of OVC (RUMOR)
Not all of us Grovers want Iro ton out, but at the same time how do we balance the playing field? The only option is expansion but who do we get? I would like to see two big schools come in. I would like to invite Jackson but what "big" school is close enough to the OVC that would fill th...

Re: OVC & SOC Merge Talk
Replace Symmes Valley with River Valley and you got a winner. Not sure either them or Oak Hill would be interested in a setup like this though. Symmes Valley is too small for the OVC.

Re: D1-D7 Upsets…..maybe it’s not so bad after all.
I liked when the OHSAA expanded to 7 divisions. I felt like it created more balance and parity between the big schools and the small schools. However, expanding to 16 teams per region was a bad move. Sure, there are going to be a few upsets here and there. It happens at all levels in all sports. 8 t...

Re: OVC & SOC Merge Talk
My guess is South Point and Fairland wouldn’t be thrilled with that scenario. I wouldn't be so sure just yet. Most of the merger talk seemed to be more about getting away from Ironton and both of these schools voted against it. I think aggressively trying to add Oak Hill and River Valley to split t...

Re: OVC & SOC Merge Talk
The OVC needs to look into a split as opposed to a full-blown merger with the SOC. Target Oak Hill and River Valley for expansion. Those two schools would be the best overall fit for the conference based on school size and location. The question is would either school be interested? Ironton Portsmou...

Re: OVC and SOC Merger
I think all the area leagues should look at some sort of realignment based on a combination of school size, geography, and competitive balance. How about 3 conferences, 3 divisions each, and 15 teams per conference? Basically all of the schools in that particular geographic region are under the same...

Born and raised in Gallipolis. Like most people in my age bracket, I left southeast Ohio over 15 years ago to create a better life for myself. However, I do still try to support my alma mater from afar and in person if I'm in town visiting family. I'll be honest though. I wasn't the biggest fan of t...
