Vinton County isn’t afraid to play on grass. I think the Vikings would bring a great gate like the others mentioned. VC brought a great crowd to NY last year in a torrential rainstorm and filled Meadowbrooks bleachers (2 hour drive) in the first round of the playoffs last year. Viking Nation travel...

Gallia only has 3 non-league games before conference play begins. I honestly wouldn't change much with the current lineup. Meigs and Point Pleasant should be on the schedule every year for gate purposes alone. I doubt anyone in charge at Gallia is in a hurry to end either one of those series. The o...

I doubt Ironton is going to leave. That would put the school in a very tough scheduling position for sports outside of football. The best option for Ironton and the OVC is to have less mandatory league games for football. Oak Hill and River Valley joining the OVC would be ideal but neither seems to ...

Hear Jackson is interested If that is true, I'm thinking Jackson and Oak Hill might be exactly what the league had in mind when this expansion was announced.

If that is true, I'm thinking Jackson and Oak Hill might be exactly what the league had in mind when this expansion was announced.

Ironton
Portsmouth
Jackson
Gallia Academy
Fairland

South Point
Rock Hill
Oak Hill
Dawson-Bryant
Chesapeake

If the SOC refuses to get with the times like many of the backwards minds in southeast Ohio, I think the only options are possibly trying to reach out to Oak Hill and River Valley. Maybe a set-up like the one presented below would suffice. I don't see many other alternatives for expansion outside of...

Add Jackson and Piketon then combine the OVC and SOC. SOVC IV Ironton Jackson Waverly Portsmouth Gallia Academy Wheelersburg SOVC III Portsmouth West Fairland Minford South Point Piketon Chesapeake SOVC II Rock Hill Oak Hill South Webster Valley Dawson-Bryant Northwest SOVC I Clay Eastern Western No...

I actually really like Gallia in the OVC. I think it is the best league for them now that the SEOAL no longer exists. In 2022 with an ever declining population, Gallia now has more in common with division 5 river schools along the tip of southeastern Ohio than they do an Athens, Logan, or Marietta. ...

Say what you want about the coaching change. The Ironton losses got Penrod fired. In last 3 years they got beat 150-7. If you remove the Ironton game off the schedule Gallia wins conf. Championships in 2019 and 2020 and he’s looked at like the savior. Everyone in the OVC is going to struggle beatin...

I think a set-up like this could work if all parties involved were on the same page.

Logan
Athens
Marietta
Warren
Parkersburg, WV
Parkersburg South, WV

The only chance for Logan to get into a Seo conference is if they can get Warren, Marietta, Jackson and one more school to join. (Athens would make the most sense travel wise, fort Frye seems to think they won’t ever come down from their perch, Gallia, probably won’t leave the OVC, Point Pleasant p...

Fort Frye, Marietta, Point Pleasant, Ripley and Warren met last week to form a new conference. They are actively seeking a 6th school since both Parkersburg schools declined the invitation. Don’t hate this at all. Similar school sizes with Fort Frye being able to compete because they punch above th...

I do like the idea of the TVC Ohio adding Fort Frye, Warren, and Oak Hill. Be a great league for every school Add Fort Frye and Warren, drop South Gallia, and split the league into 3 divisions. Ohio Athens Warren Meigs Vinton County Alexander Buckeye Wellston River Valley Nelsonville-York Trimble F...

Where is the Oak Hill talk coming from? Why would Oak Hill leave the SOC with its short drives to Scioto and Pike County for the TVC commutes to Athens and Meigs County?

Fort Frye would make the Ohio way too bottom heavy. I think they could compete just fine, but the last thing the Ohio needs is another small school. The league should have added Warren a long time ago as the 8th and final team. A rural school that is a little bigger than Vinton County, but not quite...

If the OVC wasn't so bottom heavy with division 5 and 6 schools I would be in favor of getting Wheelersburg back on the schedule, but Gallia needs some non league games against bigger schools for playoff points. Meigs and Point Pleasant need to stay on the schedule strictly for gate purposes. That w...

Most people in Gallia want to be in the TVC Nah, I actually prefer the OVC. The only way I would be in favor of leaving is if for some reason the old SEOAL got back together e.g. Logan, Athens, Marietta, Warren, Jackson, and Gallia Academy. Since that probably isn't going to happen, I'm all in on t...

I think Meigs, Point Pleasant, WV, and Jackson would be the perfect opening schedule before OVC play every year. However, Gallia probably isn't going to be able to get Jackson back on the schedule until they do something about the football facilities.
