Vinton has had a great season. They have great kids. As I stated a month ago the schedule needs to be more challenging to help them to be ready for tourney.

Dundas and some Pickerington guy took it as a slight yo the girls. Not at all. They do not make out the schedule. Someone has to help the girls prepare for tough games.

Honestly winning the TVC was a given.

Better luck next year.

You can throw Teays Valley in there being in Division I but lost in District Semi-Finals. Those are 4 teams Vinton County may want to look to schedule to bump up their Non League games.

The TVC will not prepare a team for big wins.

The TVC had 1 make it to the district semi, 1 in the district final and 1 in the sweet 16 still alive. Pretty solid for a Conference if you ask me.

Based on that I would say enjoy the TVC championship next year. I will throw in a sectional title.

If VC wants to play into March next year they better dress up the schedule. I am sure real lady basketball fans understand that.

Congrats on being TVC champs.

I am greedy. I would just want more.

Those talented girls deserve to be challenged.

It's a nice trophy to add to the collection, but not the end goal. If you want to be around competing in the tournament, you have to play others that will be competing in the tournament throughout the season. Beating up on lesser opponents and padding stats does nothing for preparing for the bigger prize.

I surmise, that seeding is everything, especially within our district, because, year in and year out, it is highly competitive.

Wow. Let me address this aggressive ignorance. First, there is a VERY fine line between scheduling to be competitive and tested than to be beaten and marginalized. So that you may understand, let me dumb it down. The TVC was a very competitive conference this year; for example, Alexander finished the regular season with two losses, both to Vinton County, next, Nelsonville-York was improved and won a sectional title by beating a Southeastern Ohio perennial favorite, Oak Hill, both Wellston and Athens improved by finishing around .500, Meigs was senior-laden, and had their chances in the districts, and finally, River Valley showed improvement through the course of the year. To cynically dismiss the TVC is wrong, and makes you seem intellectually dishonest.

Second, Coach Bentley did schedule up from last year, by adding Amanda Clearcreek, with an outstanding player, Warren, because of weather never happened, Ashland Paul Glazer, a DI school from Kentucky, who happened to catch Vinton County with two girls sick and two injured, lest we forget, Vinton County boat-raced Wheelersburg, Unioto was scheduled, only to have the best coach in the Southeast District, IMO, how about Philo, and probably the only cupcake on the schedule was Jackson, but because of weather, it was never played. Therefore, for you to complain about our schedule must mean you don't respect these other programs or you just don't know what you are talking about.

Lastly, don't fear, Coach Bentley has ready stated that he will be scheduling "up." He is looking to schedule some Central Ohio Schools. And that is ok, until you go into the tournament draw with 4-5 losses and you are staring a 4 seed, as opposed to being a 1 or a 2 seed. I surmise, that seeding is everything, especially within our district, because, year in and year out, it is highly competitive.

Hawkeye let me double dumb it down for you. Your league beyond Alex and VC was weak this year. You won that league . You won a sectional. You failed to make The Disririct final. Either challenge the team and let them grow or repeat this year.

I hope you can grasp this concept.
