I know slightly off topic, but who do you all think would be candidates to join the Mid-State League besides Logan?

Buckeye Valley will show interest to the Mid State League. The MOAC is adding Shelby and Buckeye Valley is starting to do a lot of traveling north, so I see Buckeye Valley ending up in the Mid State Ohio. To balance the Mid State Ohio to 7 schools I see Liberty Union possibly moving to Ohio in all sports. I think at that point Logan maybe a consideration for the Mid State Buckeye. I think Hamilton Township will not be in favor on adding Logan but Hamilton Township has little options but to join the OCC. I think Hamilton will be outmatched in the OCC. Logan has played the other Buckeye Division Schools: Circleville, Logan Elm, Bloom Carroll, Fairfield Union, Amanda Clearcreek in non football sports so there is playing history.
Most everything I have mentioned has already been mentioned. I think by 2020 Logan will be added to Mid State League Buckeye Division and Liberty Union will be a full time Ohio Division member and Buckeye Valley will in the Ohio Division also. The Buckeye and Cardinal will have 8 members with the Ohio Division having 7. I do not rule out Columbus Ready leaving the Central Catholic League for the Mid State League and it would be the 8th Member in the Ohio Division.

I don't see Liberty Union leaving the Buckeye Division and its Fairfield County rivals. Hamilton Township would have to be the school to move.

A D5 school in Muskingum county received an email inquiry from the MSL as to whether they were interested in the small school division.

Interesting, though if it's an MVL school, I honestly don't see them leaving the MVL for the MSL.

Also, an I nteresting idea I thought of for a MSL set-up for the MSL that would move the league to 4 divisions, although it won't happen...

Scioto (New Division):
Canal Winchester*
Hamilton Township
Logan*
Teays Valley
Whitehall-Yearling^
Chillicothe* (probably won't leave FAC)/Zanesville*
Buckeye:
Amanda Clearcreek
Bloom Carroll
Circleville
Fairfield Union
Liberty Union
Logan Elm

Ohio:
Bexley
Buckeye Valley*
Bishop Ready (Football-only)
Columbus Academy
Grandview Heights
Wellington School (No-Football)
Worthington Christian
Cardinal:
Berne Union
Bishop Rosecrans?
Fairfield Christian Academy
Fisher Catholic
Harvest Prep
Grove City Christian
Millersport

Scheduling:
Football: Play your division and 3 opposite division opponents.
Other Sports: Play your division twice and opposite division once.

Logan has never done anything in the post season, so why does it matter. Just play winnable games. I don't understand the logic of play DJ and Desales
I'm talking all sports, not just football.
I think I remember The Lady Chiefs making 2 straight final 4 in basketball and a number of reg. finals and a number of 20 plus win seasons .
They had Katie Smith.... I wouldn't count on this too many more times...

Though I'm not sure on the divisions, I don't think this looks crazy. Maybe just play inner division opponents with no cross division play, at least games that count for conference record.

I really hope this can somehow work for Logan. I think though it would take one more school in the D2 D3 range to make it work.

They also reached the division one regionals three times AFTER Katie Smith ('93, '94, and '96) twice make the regional finals (93 and 94).

Made the district finals in 2000 and 2015.

A West Muskingum addition would break the small school division beyond repair. No thanks.

Would have made the final 4 in 93 but lost by 1 point to Picktown . Logan steals the ball with 8 seconds to go for go ahead layup to be called for a travel by a ref that lived in Pick Town area. Go figure!

Didn't say West M was interested. Honestly, Rosecrans is normally better than West M in almost any sport.

Two fronts here...


Logan wants in, but MSL didn't say what division their opening is in. If it's the Ohio, hard to believe it'll be Logan if Bexley and those schools would rather it be Ready and Buckeye Valley. If it's the Buckeye, then maybe but then who gets shipped to make room for the Chieftains.

t1c2 -> I think the league is content on small school, merely exploration for plans B and C. A West M might make a Cardinal school, or two, look elsewhere, two trips in multiple sports to Muskingum County make for a steep travel budget,

This is the year the MSL is suppose to chance the divisions and they are wanting new teams that are Division 2 and 3.

Question is that is it D2-D3 for football or for all other sports?

I don't see why the MSL wouldn't want Logan. Over the last ten years the MSL has competed quite well with Logan in every sport. Logan's turn out for sports is more like a division 3 school.

It's travel, travel, travel. When you're used to traveling 20-30 minutes for your league games, looking at 30-50 minutes is a pretty big jump by percentage.

Schools need to get over the travel crap. If traveling is the case Logan will never be in a league again. Maybe we need to start a league with Berne Union, Fairfield Union, Fairfield Christian, Fisher Catholic, Lancaster, Vinton Cty and Nelson/York.
