Any idea if that game will be rescheduled?

I know Fort wants to play it. Last I heard is both schools are trying to get it to happen

Didn't realize that they just recently started playing. Similarly, I think the football team should schedule Wheelersburg, Harvest Prep and Ironton and the girls basketball team should schedule Fairland, Portsmouth and Parkersburg. I prefer them to play teams that are good as opposed to teams that have been good in the past. Think it will prepare them for the long run. Hopefully the WC game gets played. I expect a pretty comfortable win for the Cadets.

I can't imagine any situation where Fort Frye would be scheduling Wheelersburg, Ironton, or Portsmouth. Harvest Prep or Fairland would be a long shot. Parkersburg South plays Fort Frye from time to time, but Parkersburg doesn't seem to have any interest.

Can't imagine it because Fort Frye wouldn't want to play them or because those other schools wouldn't want to play Fort Frye? I think those would all be pretty good games year in and year out. Similar size and similar success in the past few years.

You think Fort Frye versus Ironton or Wheelersburg would be competitive?

I think they would be in Girls Basketball and, as I understand it, they will be in the same region next year in football so I hope they are. I actually have not seen them play in football but have read a lot from their fans on the football forum so it sounds as if they should be okay next year. I believe they have a lot coming back. I think I read that FF tried to schedule Wheelersburg a couple of years ago but couldn't get dates to match up.

They've met in Athens a time or two. I guess I could see it as a one-off or home and home "special attraction" on the schedule.

Footballwise - Fort lost to Barnesville by 28. Barnesville lost to Wheelersburg by 20.

Why do you think they’ll be in the same region in football next year?

From what I have heard from FF people, the Cadets will be Division V next year and Washington county is in that region. I believe they have been DV in basketball for a few years and the infusion of players from Marietta this year will affect next year's numbers. Maybe my information was incorrect, but they seem pretty sure that unless the numbers changed, they really couldn't avoid it.
