It takes a long time to research this stuff on microfilm, but it's kind of fun! I have read some pretty interesting articles! When I scan the microfilm, I always get distracted and read something totally unrelated to what I'm doing. I need to concentrate soley on this project first and get it compl...

According to articles in the 1970 Athens Messenger, Fort Frye was in the TVC in 1970. Vinton County, Warren, Federal Hocking, and Belpre were the original members in 1969. In 1970, the TVC expanded by two teams - Nelsonville-York and Fort Frye. Fort Frye left the TVC in 1971. They would have been v...

BH - Thanks for the update, keep them coming! Hateraid - Let's see what happens when VC makes the trek to Watertown. That is going to probably be, the game of the year in the TVC. I don't doubt it will be a big game, but you talk as if Vinton County and Waterford would be a league game. It is not. ...

I started researching NY football scores on microfilm of the Athens Messenger at Alden Library. I have 14 seasons compiled as of right now. 27 to go! Here are a few fun facts that stick out in my head..... NY's first ever football game was at Warren and NY won 22-6. The 1970 NY vs. Logan season ope...

Well whoever is added to the TVC OHIO, I think it has to be one of the teams mentioned because after that we would be talking schools too far away from the area. Although another option would be in Washington County......Fort Frye (they were in the TVC for one year in 1970). I don't think Wellston ...

Nelsonville-York will play Trimble, Piketon, Berne Union, and Ironton as their non-league games in 2008. NY will not play River Valley, Crooksville, or Bishop Ready in 2008.

I think Athens is here to stay in the TVC. A large majority of the people at Athens wanted this move to happen. Most of the coaches wanted it, and all of the administrators wanted it. When it was voted on by the school board, it was a unanimous vote to leave the SEOAL and join the TVC. It is more e...

1992 was in reality the last year their was a unified TVC. When the divisions came in 1993, it marked the beginning of the end of unity within the conference. When you don't play teams in the other division OR if you do play them and they don't count in league standings, that is not a league rival....

Here is the question of the day..........if the league mandates that we have to play three games against the Hocking Division, why don't those games count in league standings? They still count as non-league games. It just does not make any sense to me. At least this will be the last year for that. ...

For around 40 years, there was no change in SEOAL membership. By the end of the 1920s, Portsmouth, Ironton, and New Boston left the SEOAL. From that point until the late 1960's, the SEOAL looked like this: Athens Gallipolis Jackson Logan Middleport Nelsonville Pomeroy Wellston In 1967, Pomeroy and ...

Our softball program definately needs all the improvement it can get. NY has not performed well in softball in any year that I can remember. Many seasons resulted in just a handfull of wins. It would be nice if things turned around in time for the new softball field rennovation that is about to tak...

From what I can tell from old records, it was called Class B in baseball in 1967. At least that is what I have read, it was way before my time! Concerning the history of the TVC teams, I think that is a good idea as well. I just think that it's kind of awesome that the very last sporting event for ...

Murray City and the rest of Ward Twp. in Hocking County (Carbon Hill) lost their school charters in the early 1960's. Both Murray City and Ward Local schools decided to become a part of the Buchtel-York Local schools at that time. Subsequently, Buchtel-York Local Schools consolidated with Nelsonvil...

Countries that have a legal age of 18 do not have as many incidences of binge drinking among 18-20 year olds as the United States has. And I also agree with the point, if the US says you are old enough to be sent off to war where your life is on the line, you are old enough to drink. 18-20 year old...

I wonder if this whole leaving the SEOAL to improve all athletic programs at AHS will eventually return Athens to the SEOAL? I doubt it. Especially since the SEOAL is so spread out and the TVC is so compact in size. Plus, I would be willing to bet that there are hard feelings from some in the SEOAL...
