Not sure why Jolly Pirate trolling the PHS vs FHS thread. Not sure anyone got “shunned”, but a team got better as last season went on. Addition by subtraction perhaps. Sometimes it’s better for both parties when a couple gets a divorce. Glad he’s having a great year and flourishing. But we’re also p...

Gallia is a strong team. A team that will give Ironton and others some trouble. As long as they stay focused and keep their eye on the prize, they legit could be OVC champs. They were an exciting team to watch tonight.

Hoping to see the Trojans open up their offense a bit more this week. It’s been a pretty plain offense to this point with only two or three players getting involved to any degree. Come conference play that will be easy to defend. If Greenup has any good film on the Trojans, they will easily figure o...

Both teams played hard on Thursday night to open up the area’s high school football season. Great job both teams in representing your school and your communities. For both programs they are experiencing lower than ideal total numbers. It’s a reality of high school football across the State, minus a ...

Time to move on past this old yet historic relic. It’s a shame, but years of neglect and relying on the current residents at the time to do patch work has caused this facility to deteriorate. We get so caught up with the mystic of old buildings around town and get bent out of shape when they are tor...

This thread has become D-E-A-D. Softball in Southern Ohio has a lot to be excited about. I’ll start a thread for fun. Is this the year of Burg dominance? Short answer is yes. I see 2-3 potential All-State players on the roster. They have pitching, they have power and they have speed. I don’t see any...

Until Portsmouth cleans house and gets coaches that care it's not going to change,they are getting 💯 out of all the athletes they have not to mention all the talent walking the hallways not playing The players that want to be there are there. Sometimes that best athletes and most talented players a...

This has been a fun thread to follow. There are lots of logical theoretical scenarios that have been outlined here. But I think the largest factor that has to be considered is simply transportation. Bus driver shortages and increased gas prices make conference realigned a potential budget saver for ...

The touchback call was correct. You just don’t know the rule. A punt that crosses the goal line without any player possessing the ball is a touchback. It doesn’t matter who touches the ball before it crosses the goal line. Possession of the ball is the thing that matters and no player of either tea...

I’ll start off by saying the QB for Gallia is really tough. Felt like I was watching Big Ben, kid was relentless. The Trojans fought hard, but a few things prevented them from winning. Read through this post and you can see the refs played a factor in the outcome, think I even seen a Gallia fan say...

This was collectively a poorly officiated game. When the rule book has to make an appearance on the field, you know you have a problem. The officials 100% played some part in the outcome of this game. Yes there’s a shortage of officials and yes they can get rode hard, that hasn’t changed in the life...

What an exciting 2022 season of softball. While this forum was a bit quite, the teams around the area were not. Congratulations to the State Champion Wheelersburg Pirates. Congratulations to the other teams that advanced deep into the playoffs. Below is a brief summary. SOC II - The SOC II was proba...

Part of the the equation to winning is staying healthy. There’s been a lot of teams using pitchers in pointless innings of games the last several years. With these pitchers throwing a fall travel season, HS season, summer travel season and lessons and side work all year long its no surprise their bo...

West canceled both the first and second contests vs Portsmouth in order to practice. Guess we will have to wait until the post season to possibly see this game happen.

That’s a career to hang your hat on. What a service he provided to the Lucasville community and imagine how many lives he touched over those years, it’s quite astonishing.

Observations alone is there is DI talent in this region and around this county and surrounding. Now, Power 5 conference talent is limited. But smaller DI talent is here. Is it better to commit to a DI (or DII) school with a 40-50% scholarship offer or look at an NAIA school with money stacked to whe...

Ironton will have tough pitching no question. Moore is a proven pitcher and there is no reason to think her senior year that will change. I believe after that, they are like most other teams and will struggle at times to score runs or have rough games on defense. Wheelersburg will hit the reload but...

Shawnee made a good hire , the former assistant from Lindsey Wilson is a good guy and a hard worker -- he knows how to recruit to win. They will be looking to be a player in the Mid South conference but that conference is the best NAIA conference in America -- easily . Its extremely difficult to re...

Did Rock Hill let their Coach go our did she just not come back? I have a feeling they probably felt like they have underperformed given they expectations they had of this group as they came up. Most fans and parents don't understand Little League success doesn't always equal Varsity success. Coal ...

The Rock Hill job would be great place to coach from a facilities standpoint. Young coaches should look at any open teaching jobs in this district. There’s a strong connection between RH high school and their LL program. It could be a great relationship that could help serve as a strong feeder syste...
