OVC 2016

[Henry Jones, Jr.]

Week 3 should give a little more insight to where every team stands.

For starters, Ironton & Fairland square off in the first conference game of the year.
Also, Rock Hill will host Oak Hill. Chesapeake beat Oak Hill 40-14 in Oak Hill.
Coal Grove will visit Portsmouth West. Fairland lost to the Senators 20-26 in Week 1

Week 3 seems to be when a lot of teams find their identity.

It is hard judge who will win at this point in the season most of the OVC teams to this point have not played quality teams.

Exactly,

I think Ironton has played two pretty good teams. Much better than anyone else in the OVC.

Russell wasn't supposed to be that good this yr and burg well they are the best team in southern Ohio, Peake did play Alexander

Oak Hill isn't a slouch either. Neither games have even been close

WHEELERSBURG DEFINATELY. RUSSELL MAYBE. I THINK THE PARITY IN THE OVC IS REALLY GOING TO BE RIGHT UP THERE THIS YEAR.

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

AND AT THIS POINT IN THE SEASON IT APPEARS IRONTON, SOUTH POINT AND FAIRLAND AND GAHS ARE THE WEAK LINKS.

Come on they are going to be 0-3 after playing RH. The problem is the OVC is not beating any quality teams at this time. I still say only time will tell how good the OVC is this year.

[gametime]

The problem with a lot of this is , valley , northwest, minford, oak hill, and a lot of other teams had winning seasons last year that is rebuilding or as coaches say it reloading this yr

[bbn77]

Chesapeake 49 Symmes Valley 0 FINAL
Ironton 31 Fairland 0 FINAL
Portsmouth 0 Wheelersburg 42 FINAL
Oak Hill 14 Rock Hill 33 FINAL
Gallia 12 Point Pleasant 61 FINAL
Coal Grove 14 West 9 FINAL
South Point 10 River Valley 33 FINAL

[Da man]

Id say with this win, ironton has proven that they are in a 5 team race for the ovc

[bbn77]

I'd like to see them play someone else first. Coming in to the year Fairland was going to be a bottom feeder in the conference. Ironton will definitely compete though

[BigChuck]

JMO. Chesapeake is the team to beat in the OVC. Closely followed by The kittens, squaws, and the sweat bees....after watching The prophylactics tonight, they are just not physical enough....

[CGSports]

OVC Record against non conf schedule

Soc 1 4-0
Soc 2 5-4 (Still 1 game to go between the conferences)
TVC Ohio 1-3

Decent but can still be better.

[bbn77]

Would like to see the OVC schedule games against more TVC teams.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE IRONTON FIGHTING TIGERS FOR THEIR VICTORY. NOW HEAD INTO TANKS MEMORIAL STADIUM WITH A BIG WIN OVER THE ASHLAND TOMCATS.-------TO THE PLAYERS N COACHES- I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TELL YOU HOW TO RESPOND TO ALL THE NEGATIVITY ON HERE, EITHER STAY OFF HERE, OR MAKE IT BURN A FIRE IN YOUR BELLY TO PROVE PEOPLE WRONG IF YOU DO.STILL PLENTY OF US OUT HERE WHO LOVE OUR FIGHTING TIGERS.PROUD OF YOU GUYS.

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

AND CONGRATULATIONS TO CHESAPEAKE, IRONTON, ROCK HILL AND COAL GROVE ON HARD EARNED VICTORIES FOR THE OVC.

[Championship07]

After 3 weeks I'd analyze the OVC like this

1. Chesapeake
2. Rock Hill

3. Portsmouth
4. Coal Grove
5. Ironton

6. South Point
7. Fairland
8. Gallia

I believe peake and the hill are the top 2 teams at this point. Then the second tier of teams could make moves into the top just depends how much they improve and injuries. The bottom tier I feel will probably be looking to beat one another to even get a win this season.

[Henry Jones, Jr.]

Right now, five of the teams could win this league this year. Maybe, just maybe, South Point, Fairland or Gallia could play spoiler somewhere along the way as well.

Here are the key games coming up, so mark your calendars and figure out where you are going to eat before/after these dandies...

Week 4 (9/16)
Rock Hill at Portsmouth

Week 5 (9/23)
Coal Grove at Chesapeake

Week 6 (9/30)
Coal Grove at Portsmouth
Chesapeake at Ironton

Week 7 (10/7)
Ironton at Rock Hill
Portsmouth at Chesapeake

Week 8 (10/14)
Coal Grove at Ironton

Week 9 (10/21)
Chesapeake at Rock Hill

Week 10 RIVALRY WEEK (10/28)
Kudos to the conference for scheduling these great rivalry games last on the schedule. Some of the best rivalries in the area.
Rock Hill at Coal Grove
Ironton at Portsmouth
Fairland at Chesapeake
South Point at Gallia

P.S. There are three OVC teams entering conference play with undefeated records: Rock Hill (3-0); Chesapeake (3-0); Coal Grove (2-0). Could somebody run the table and go UNDEFEATED?

[knightruner]

Ironton beats Ashland this coming week they will run the table in the OVC.

[bbn77]

Last night was Ashland's first win. A win against Ashland doesn't make them conference champions. Still have to go through Chesapeake, Coal Grove, Rock Hill and Portsmouth
