Furthest I have ever traveled for a non conference was in 2006 when Waverly traveled to Indian Creek in Winstersville. About 200 miles and around 3 hrs 20 min ride.

My junior year we played olentangy liberty early in the season it’s only 138 miles but about 2hrs 15/20 minutes. That same year we played at Zanesville it’s 166 miles 2hrs 35/40 minutes however we went through Charleston hit 77 all the way up by Cambridge then hit 70 to go into zanesville so that trip ended up being well over 3 hours

Logan played AT Hamilton (Butler County) in 1924. That trip today would be either 142 or 163 miles depending on your route.

In 2017 Logan played at Hamilton Ross (Butler County) - a trip that was between 153 and 161 miles depending on your route.

Oak Hill was scheduled to play Ironton St. Joe in, I believe 1987, when St. Joe had too many injuries to play the game. The Oaks traveled to Mississinawa Valley in Union City, Ohio on the Indiana border instead. In the 90's the Oaks traveled to River and Wellsville up State Route 7 far north of Marietta.

Back around 2000, Vinton County traveled 151 miles to Indian Creek for a regular season game.
In 2004, Vinton County traveled 196 miles to Northwest High school (Canal Fulton) for a first round playoff game. Those are the two farthest for VC, to my knowledge.

Green in early 90’s traveled to McDonald ( near Youngstown) over 4 hours and in the early 2000’s Green went to Cumberland Ky ( about 3 1/2 hrs ) . Pretty long trips. I remember Rock Hill going to Hicksville Ohio for a game. That’s about as far a trip you could do in Ohio..
