Yes he has according to an article in the Ironton Tribune. He’s only a junior also. Super young man too.

Re: Minford Football

In May 2017, Coal Grove hired a head football coach who was in his early-mid-20s, and six months later they were playing for a regional championship. Gallia's coach who just left was 24 when he was hired and has an outstanding record that landed him a Division I HS job. Everyone has to start somewh...

Re: What will it take for an SEOP area team to rise up to state-level competitor?

It’s going to take several things. Firstly a coach that can motivate the players, players buying in, the community getting behind the team, parents letting the coach actually coach, and a little bit of luck doesn’t hurt either. Look at Kirtland for example. Tough, gritty, never quit attitude from t...

Re: SOC to vote on 3 Football Divisions (Thurs.)

I think the biggest issue with any possible merger between the SOC and OVC is this; Logistics. It would make some of the travel between schools kinda difficult. Especially if it were divided by enrollment numbers or competition levels. Gallia/Fairland to Waverly for example. Or Northwest to Chesapea...

Re: How Ironton & Burg can both win a state title in D5

Pretty good analysis for both teams. Ironton has struggled with untimely penalties that have killed drives on offense or extended drives on defense. Burg I feel can help themselves by keeping it simple on offense. Establish a running game and use a simple but effective pass attack to keep a defense ...

Good ole Memorial Field in Gallipolis. They literally flood at least once a year, they are tiny and smell like sewage. I second this All I saw at Gallia were porta-pots.

I just saw Coal Groves schedule. I know it’s not OVC related, but they’re heading to Cherokee NC for their holiday tournament right after Christmas. They traveled there in 2017 and came back as runner-up. Tournament is fun to watch. There were teams from Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina and...

Re: November 17, 2023 Eastern Meigs 19 - 20 Caldwell

Heck of a game by both teams! I missed what the penalty was that took away the TD late in the game against Eastern. But a good hard fought battle between both sides.

Re: Hosting Schools - Rate 'Em!

Here’s my picks. 1, Rock Hill. Plenty of seating on both sides, good food in the concessions, nice restrooms. Only negative is the parking situation. Lots of places but be prepared to walk uphill. 2.Portsmouth. Same as with Rock Hill, but parking is a bit better. 3. Lucasville Valley. Nice seating o...
