Scioto top to bottom has the best football. They consistently get 2-4 teams in the playoffs, and they have the best program south of Columbus and east of Cincinnati. Not to mention Valley's multiple playoff wins in recent memory. It always seems like either West and Minford sneaks in as well. East also had a 10-0 last year and Notre Dame makes a push for the playoffs every few years.

Head to head - Scioto has owned Lawrence, Pike, and Jackson. They don't have too many games against teams in counties other than those. With Burg leading the charge and others adding depth, Scioto County is home to the best football in this part of the state.

Nelsonville York- 1981 state champions and many playoff appearances

Athens - 2014 state runner up and the best team ever from southern Ohio

Trimble - beats any scioto county team their size

Athens county wishes their football was as good as scioto county football. Burg is fifth on the list with most playoff appearances yes NY had best then in the past a few times but NY just is not a tradition playoff contender how far back do we want to go for comparison scioto county has had 3 State champions

Scioto county traditional good teams
East
Notre dame
Minford
Valley
West
Portsmouth
And of coarse THE BURG

Athens county
NY
Trimble

Keep wishing Athens county
Trimble

I think the whole argument about which county had the best football is at best subjective and just plain silly.......
Are we talking historically?
Last 20 years?
Last 10 years?
Some county's have more school districts, some countys only have a single school district.....


Championship's are won in the off-season

Interesting post but kinda silly for sure. Scioto County has obviously done very well but they also have a whole bunch of schools that have high school football. Try counting them up! haha. Would love to hear the number.

Heck, does Vinton County have more than one school with a football team? Do they have more than one high school?? Lol. Pike County only has three schools with high school football and one of those just recently. I hear Western might be on the road to high school football.

But by all means carry on :)

NY and BURG have 1 title a piece burg has appeared in the playoff 28 time Trimble and NY combine equal 28 is this even a discussion on which county is better the plains-athens doesn't even deserve to be in the conversation I will give Trimble is an excellent team way more talented then our SOC I schools that make playoffs like east and nd who always get their asskicked in the playoffs

i believe there is 13 high schools in scioto county. of those i don't know who does and doesn't have football. vinton, logan and morgan are the only 1 county high schools in the state.

As far as scioto county ...burg is legit year in year out power
The rest is very debatable

The best program in southern traditionally is Ironton and it's not even close .

2014 Athens is the best team ever from southern Ohio and that also is not even a debate

I would add the following qualifiers:

The best program prior to 2004 was Ironton and it's not even close.

2014 Athens in the best offensive team ever from Southern Ohio and that is not debatable.

I assume we're speaking all time programs
Ironton 8 titles games 2 championships , no debate

2014 Athens not super strong on defense but would roll any team from southern Ohio ...ever

But yeah Ironton is all time best. They ran into the best of the best. That Lake Catholic team in the early 90's was the best team in Ohio any division
