Re: Gallia Academy New Coach….

While I do not understand the non-renewal, or the hiring of Carter, I do suspect that things are really no different politically speaking at any other of the high schools in Southeast Ohio. Not every school, even in SEO, non-renews the most successful coach in school history and hires a 24 year old...

Re: River Valley Coaching Search

River Valley needs player help talk about coaching all you want !!!jmo RV has always had good looking kids. However, they have been a model of dysfunction on a variety of levels, so the players are left underdeveloped or they leave for greener pastures. It’s not just the football program, look how ...

Re: River Valley Coaching Search

Liability is a big deal these days. I’d think especially in GCLS. The last thing RV needs is another coach being perp-walked out the building. Old news. Pretty sure both parties moved on just fine. No legal action was ever done or initiated. No educational jurisdiction was ever done. The man still ...

Re: River Valley Coaching Search

When I say typical, I mean it falls in line with almost all coaching hires in RV history - GCLS retreads, which has worked well for them. And coaching track and volleyball prepares you perfectly for running a football program. Nothing against the man, I’m sure GCLS loves him because he shows up, tur...

Re: Gallia Academy New Coach….

Very confused at this move.
Very confused why this job wasn’t posted.

And then I remember it’s Gallia County.

Re: River Valley Coaching Search

I heard they interviewed 10 candidates.

That is a really odd practice compared to other schools.

Normally you cut that list down to 3-5 candidates you really like and go from there.

Re: Changing Mascots?

River Valley took their Raiders name from a confederate general.
They have a huge mural of him in his confederate uniform on their gym wall.

Re: River Valley 26 - 69 Athens

Not my team, just appreciated the time Coach Polcyn invested into my son when he played at RV. I do find it interesting that he took the “finesse” offense, according to Coach Peck, and has been really successful and scored a lot of points with it. Good for him and the Morrow boys who help him. But t...

Re: WK9 Athens @ River Valley

Jason Peck is known for playing varsity players in JV games, but hey, he needs to win somewhere. However, I don’t know that anyone saved or lost their job based off of the JV record. It’s quite apparent he has lost this team. Too much talent to be absolutely horrendous like they are.

Re: River Valley - Alexander

They certainly wouldn’t have been in the mess they are in now. But they knew that or are just as dumb as those they hired. My guess is a little of both.

Some hires are a home run, this was a 3 pitch strikeout.

Re: River Valley - Alexander

Taking a program and making it better and scoring more points is never a bad thing. That’s a credit to Coach Polcyn.

Unlike the current regime, who is 2-15 after RV went 21-19 over the previous 4 years.

Pretty sure Winters never applied for the job.

Re: River Valley - Alexander

I feel bad for the kids, they are the real ones who had to pay the price for inept administrators. This hire ranks up there with basketball coaches we have hired over the past few years. They are so successful we just can’t keep them coaching after one or two years. Oh yeah, most of them were RV bo...
