Nelsonville-York 30 Meigs 22

[FANOSPORTS]

It takes a few years to build a program. Boston coached his first four years in the SEOAL and was SEOAL Coach of the Year in 1966. NY didn’t win the TVC immediately either. It took awhile to build the program from the ground up. It wasn’t until the mid 70s that NY established itself as a strong program.

NY defeated Logan in years Logan won the SEOAL. In ‘94, NY defeated both SEOAL Champion Logan and 2nd place in the SEOAL Jackson.

All the while being much smaller than most of the schools in the SEOAL. Of course NY loses to Logan more than winning when factoring for size difference.

For that matter, NY is closer in size to TVC Hocking schools than most of the TVC Ohio schools, yet NY has dominated the TVC Ohio over the years. NY can overcome size difference to a point. But once it’s a big difference, I don’t see how anyone could expect NY to have a winning record against much bigger schools.

Agree, thanks for being civil. Good post

Dave Boston came to Nelsonville in 1966. NY would have become a great program regardless if the Buckeyes were in the TVC or the SEOAL because of Dave Boston. The league has nothing to do with it, it's the coach that turned NY into a powerhouse.

Agree wholehardetly 96...

Dave Sr., Hall of Famer, great coach no doubt, great program "yes", numerous TVC titles and a state title in 81 and that is a lifetime memory for the district but was 12-26 in 4 years in the SEOAL before leaving. If you guys think they could have won the SEOAL with the Ironton teams in the 70's and 80's and Jackson, Gallipolis and Logan teams in the 80's, 90's and 2000's i agree to disagree. Anyway, hope N-Y wins out and gets in the playoffs this year as they're improving weekly. (Not trying to offend anyone so don't take it that way please). Thank You !!!!!

I understand what you are saying and I agree with you on the SEOAL part, all thought I would like to see how our 81 state title team would have faired in the SEOAL. I think we had certain teams that could have made been decent or toward the top and competed but not consistently like we do in the TVC. But in my opinion from where it started NY is one heck of a football program for its size considering who we play. Yes I am biased but having winning records against every school in the Ohio, while being the smallest is pretty impressive to me. With the most titles as well. But anyway after all the rambling, not offending anyone here fanosports.

Nope, we're good. I was just trying to be rationale in my previous posts .

Reading these posts, it sounds like some of those freshman on Meigs team likes to talk. Great flip of freshman, but still freshman. Not sure why Meigs hasn’t done better, especially with a super bowl winning coach running the show.

He did not win the Super Bowl. God favored the Patriots over his Eagles that game.

He was a long snapper with the Patriots when they won one. He was picked up toward the end of the season that year.

No. The year he played for the Patriots they lost to the Packers.
