Oh well. I fully expected to hear these responses. And you are not wrong because every school has their own agenda on their minds. It’s a shame tho. Because it would be the best situation for so many schools. But you guys are right. Ironton has probably pissed off too many. And Portsmouth would not ...

The problem with it not being accepted by the SOC is you would have to do it for every sport.
And that would put Chesapeake and northwest playing each other in other sports. And that’s a rough drive for other sports that might play 2 times a year. Long weeknights.

Yes…. They should

I don’t disagree with your reasons for no RBH.
This would only go for football. You could leave the others how they are.

But I agree. No way it ever happens. But it needs to

This is what needs to happen. I’ll just post this here and let everyone tell me how it won’t work. And that’s fine. But I think, more than ever, it’s what needs to happen. For the better of both conferences. Division 1 Ironton Burg Portsmouth Waverly West Fairland Gallia Division 2 Valley Minford Ro...

I dont have a stake in the community. Im an alumni and lifelong fan. Those closest to program knows best. I do know you need at least 16 to 18 strong athletes to have a realistic chance to compete against the stronger teams. You have to keep the kids fresh, because what we have seen is Valley gets ...

Nobody wants us to turn this around more than me. We will get there once we get the kids in the weight room, and the kids commit and decide they’re gonna do a job. But I’m not gonna call out a first year coaching staff or any of the kids personally, when it’s been going on for 7 years. We are 21-37 ...

Well. It’s not one group’s fault at all. It’s a numbers issue and playing bigger schools. I tried to make that point earlier that we haven’t been very good against these bigger schools in 6-7 years. It is hardly any of the kids fault, just as it is hardly any of the coaches faults. Our numbers are ...

Maybe it's time to get out the torches and pitchforks against waverly being in SOC2 They are the biggest school by a pretty large margin. Waverly isn’t the problem in my opinion. They have not dominated this conference ever… They don’t have much in the next few years I don’t believe. They certainly...

I don’t know who called out kids on here. But I agree. Kids don’t need to be called out on here at all. The kids we have in our system are not the problem when it comes to the results like tonight. It’s just we are short on numbers right now. It will get better. The kids are doing all they can. Anyb...

Heard recently from a guy in the know that SOC is seriously looking at the 3rd division option for football only. This would really benefit schools such as Valley, Northwest, and Oak Hill. It just so hard to compete in football with a 35-man roster playing schools with rosters twice as big. It may ...

I think some people are remembering the great runs we had between 2005 and 2015. I can’t blame you. I remember them well. Some of the best times of my life. But come on man. You think Darren or that staff forgot how to run a program after 2015? Hell no they didn’t. You have to ride the wave when you...

It’s all about what you want from a program. Darren laid a great foundation down for this school. But let’s be honest on what is going on here for a second. 2016. 1-9 2017. 3-7 2018. 4-6 2019. 5-5 2020. 4-5 2021. 4-6 We have had 7 years of a tough schedule and some small classes. This isn’t a new pr...

We are 3 years from being able to move “down” from what I was told tonight. So moving down isn’t an immediate option. I just hope the people that make decisions, understand the situation we are in. And what it will take to help our program. This coaching staff is not the problem. There are no people...

Might be facts, I appreciate that. And maybe this has been said for weeks on here. Not sure. But this is the truth. And people need to understand it. The realization that we (when we are strong in our program, we can compete with schools twice our size) That’s one thing. But the understanding that (...

I’m not here to defend a loss like tonight. We got smashed by a good team who plays a very good schedule. If anyone on here wants to set blame on somebody, then go ahead. The Coaches can handle it. Some of the kids can handle it too. We are a struggling program behind on numbers and (we’ve been behi...

Not sure if WNXT is carrying the game.
But 100.1 always Carrie’s Piketon’s games so you should find it there

Coach Crabtree like Coach Crabtree before has an open door policy. As far as who plays it looks as if a lot of kids are seeing the field especially when compared to years past. It looks as if the starting 11 is on point, and the primary rotators are on point. Use the open door policy if you have an ...
