An idea sprung to my head a couple seconds ago. How would you guys feel about a three day event where an OVC school plays an SOC school over the weekend? The host site could rotate every year between SOC and OVC schools. And the winner of the challenge is which ever conference wins the most games. Maybe a business could sponsor a trophy. Here would be an example schedule:
Let's say Rock Hill were to host
Friday
Valley vs. Coal Grove 6:00
Portsmouth West vs. Portsmouth 8:00
Saturday
South Webster vs. South Point 2:00
Minford vs. Gallia Academy 4:00
Wheelersburg vs. Chesapeake 6:00
Oak Hill vs. Fairland 8:00
Sunday
Waverly vs. Ironton 2:00
Northwest vs. Rock Hill 4:00
Frankly, I am all for this event and would pay good money to watch it. Lots of nice gyms between these two conferences and lots of good teams. And no major travel either. I say let's put it on

Re: OVC vs. SOC II Challenge
Would be cool. I know there used to be a SVC-SOC Challenge in Girls bball that was pretty cool, but I'm not sure how much money it made since they stopped doing it years ago.
It would have to wait at least a year or so to get schedules open, but would be a pretty fun event.

Yep, any event featuring Portsmouth, Chesapeake, Fairland, Wheelersburg and Oak Hill is bound to be a good one. Lots of good coaches

Re: OVC vs. SOC II Challenge
agreed, but Portsmouth at this point uses open dates for an annual trip to Fla to play some quality opponents as well, putting this thing on the slate would require some decision making
Re: OVC vs. SOC II Challenge
Yeah, maybe have it the week/weekend of the tournament draw so teams can get one more "résumé win"

Re: OVC vs. SOC II Challenge
I would love to see that...I don't know what conference would come out on top....pretty even between the 2 conferences from top to bottom
Re: OVC vs. SOC II Challenge
Going off of that example schedule I made I predict it would be 4-4. A lot of good games especially with Oak Hill vs Fairlandmrwonderful wrote:I would love to see that...I don't know what conference would come out on top....pretty even between the 2 conferences from top to bottom

Re: OVC vs. SOC II Challenge
probably end up 4-4 and 6 of the 8 games up for grabs...Burg would pound Peak and I think Portsmouth heavy favorite over west
