Why is everyone complaining about this? This is the SOC Conference's fault for not adding Portsmouth and Ironton a long time ago. If the SOC and OVC would've merged, you could've had competitive schedule balance across the board for every team in the SOC 1, SOC 2, and OVC. It would've been perfect ...

Logan, Jackson, Chillicothe, Athens, Lancaster, Gallia Acad. & Teays Valley? I'm sure some of those schools are not interested, and Lancaster may be too darn big, but there are plenty of others around that wouldn't mind being in a different league. Canal Winchester, Warren, Circleville, Grovepor...

It serves not to run up the score early. You would like to get a complete game in if possible. I noticed Rod had the soph QB in for a play or two in the first quarter last night, I don't know, there could have been more youngsters in. Playing 48 minutes will help you more than a running clock in th...

You could tell it was both teams first game with all the penalties and the undeveloped offenses. A few points that I saw: 1. Ironton has very little depth. Nothing can be done about that. It takes time to build up the endurance to play both ways for an entire game and they got worn down towards the ...

What time is the Gallia / Burg scrimmage?

1. Burg
2. Valley
3. West
4. Minford
5. Waverly
The Burg wins their 30th gold ball.
Valley is senior laden and that usually wins championships.
BUT they are not deep and I can't see them staying healthy for the whole season.

Wheelersburg had three boys too many to be in D6? I am very disappointed in the administration at Wheelersburg. This would NOT have happened 20 years ago! :122249 So 20 years ago you would have kicked 3 boys out? How does that work? Sarcasm does get lost on the internet. I even added a winky face.

OHSAA web site. Press release from June 9, 2015. 'Football divisions, regions, schedules and playoff information.'

John Gagliardi former coach at DIII St. John's College in Minnesota had a record 489 wins and 4 national titles. He coached from 1949 to 2012 and had only one losing season. He prohibited tackling during practices, didn't use a whistle or blocking sleds, didn't require weight lifting and limited his...

Good luck finding a parking spot.

Waverly was 9 for 23 from the line against Burg in the District semi. Not sure they can play defense against a guy shooting foul shots, nothing they can do to defend it. They can't scrap and claw and hustle around the foul line. Should Waverly make a majority of those freebies they win. Some of tho...

The Pirates are not be the prettiest Cinderella team but they usually make their opponents play ugly anyway so it doesn't matter. Most of Wheelersburg's opponents say that they didn't play well against them win or lose. That is a Coach Ater team. They scrap, claw, hustle and work out there. Wheelers...

Usually the first games at the Convo the shooting is poor. By the second games the shooters start to get their eye and teams score a little more. Portsmouth has the best offense of the remaining teams.Ironton crashes the boards hard and plays a nice defense. Wheelersburg as a #11 seed is the Cindere...

Fairland has much more tournament experience. They have an outstanding press. They beat Wheelersburg handily just a month ago.
Burg by 5. Go Lady Pirates!

Congrats Lady Pirates. Defense wins championships and yours was strong in this one. McClain was a very good team and Coach Spradlin came up with an excellent game plan that the girls executed perfectly. #14 for Greenfield is definitely a POY. She had 18 points in the 4th quarter! Good Luck in the ne...

this burg teams record is right where it should be based on the talent it has. in his latter years at burg barrick had a lot of trouble getting kids to come out, they just didnt enjoy playing for him. This years Pirate team has no height at all. They are basically playing with 4 guards and a small ...

Short drive.

Wheelersburg is the BIG underdog in this one. I like the attitude that Minnesota's coach had when they played Ohio State. He told his kids to play hard each play and don't even look at the scoreboard. Just try to execute on each play and see what happens. You can't ask for more than that. Minnesota ...

I believe Wheelersburg played Minford twice back in 2008. Wheelersburg won 14-7 regular season and 14-6 in the playoffs. I think Minford beat Wheelersburg twice in 2001 maybe. I'm sure there's a stat out there of who wins more often but with these two playing so far apart in the season you can proba...
