Make it a match, Tigers! Play on their side of the field and make something happen early. You guys are solid. We'll be coming up from Athens for support.

When and where is the first regional match for Marietta? Sure would be nice to get at least one win for the District.

How was Chillicothe able to score two goals in three minutes?

Anxious to hear the result as well as some accounts of the match. Help me out.

Great win for Chillicothe over a quality Athens team. The Athens seniors can be proud of returning Athens to a place of prominence in the region. Returning players can look forward to another promising year as you re-build the defense and take advantage of an enormous amount of varsity experience. A...

Either way, trust Athens to put a strong defense on the field to resist Chillicothe's considerable fire power. Chilly will come out throwing flames no matter who the Athens sweeper may be. But expect a low scoring match with much of the outcome decided in the midfield. As always, the question is can...

I'm with you on the "1" for Athens. Sounds realistic. But "4" for Chillicothe? I'm not so sure. I realize Chillicothe has a precision shooter who is a constant threat but the Athens keeper will be back in goal, the sweeper is returned and looking sharp and both senior defensive w...

Promises to be a great match. I feel sure that Chillicothe is on top of their game based on watching results. As for Athens, the team should be at full strength following some mid-season challenges and adjustments. Should be a hard fought defensive match with a score along the lines of 2-1. Question...

As of now, looks like Athens, Chillicothe, Marietta & Warren (in alphabetical order). One of these teams will win the District.

Athens has remaining games with both Marietta and Warren. Not sure when or how the seeding is done, but as of now, looks like possibly Marietta and Warren in one District grouping with Chillicothe and Athens in the other. Its hard to imagine that the District Champion won't come from one of these fo...

It is great to see the Cavs ranked. There seem to be four or five teams that are candidates to take the district this year and Chillicothe is clearly one of those teams. Basil's bionic arm throw-ins change the game.

Good luck the remainder of the season.

For those not familiar with this Athens County tradition, it seems to grow each year and has become quite a big deal. The teams play home and away each year with the second game being for the Cup. A tie in the cup game means the team in possession of the Cup keeps it for another year. Recently, Athe...

Absolutely. Belpre was really in the game for a good part of the first half and continued to play purposeful soccer throughout the entire match. Hats off to the coach and their hard working team.

These kids have come a long way since last year!

Belpre 5-0-1...what's up with Belpre soccer? Athens cruised past Alexander last night, 3-1 and stands at 3-0-2 going into the Thursday Belpre game. The two ties came against strong teams, especially Chillicothe. Is Belpre that improved or have they played really weak teams? Please educate the soccer...

Fairly routine outing for Athens. Controlling the ball better and better with each match, still learning how to score. The veteran defense is a rock hard foundation. Big week upcoming with Alexander, Belpre and, I believe, Warren. 2-0-2 going into this stretch is OK but could have been better. None ...

Great to see Belpre having some success. I'm hearing a rumors of a European student on the team this year. True?

Athens probably played well enough to win and led with 17 seconds left in the match. But you know those teams that are good at running their motors at a higher level at the beginning and end of each half? Well that was Marietta tonight. They scored at the very beginning of the first half and the ver...

Any way you slice it, all the strong district teams (with decent skill and athleticism) will have to play each other smart, learn from each game and stay mentally tough. Tonight's match up will give both teams a chance to improve. In the end, the team that learns to play as a unit the best will prob...

That is, I'd be surprised if Marietta is able to put up as many goals as they did against Zainesville. However, that many goals against any team is impressive. Athens pretty well dominated Logan this weekend but was able to score only once. Ball control was enormously better than the first match and...

Well, I'd be really surprised if Marietta scores six times.
