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...

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...

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...

Years ago, Ironton had a lot more residents than they do now. Plus, there was a lot of industrial jobs to boot. Most guys could graduate from high school and then either go to work at Armco( AK steel) Ironton Iron, Cement Salvy, Ashland Oil( Marathon Petroleum) or Allied Signal. Only one of those p...

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 know the visitors side does. Home side restrooms are in the white block building by the corner of the end zone by the scoreboar...

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...

Congratulations Dundas! Thanks again Pioneer19 for running this contest! I am looking forward to participating again next year.

I second this

Wonder if the person who started this thread is related to Paladin?

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.

I’m not sure who returns what players. But if I were to take an early guess;

Fairland
Gallia Academy
Portsmouth
Coal Grove
South Point
Rock Hill
Chesapeake

Been a pretty good game so far. The stream isn’t too bad either. Keep up the effort Eastern!

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...

Being completely honest I think the better route would be into expansion of the regions and getting more teams in from that way. I see zero reason that we have teams making a 3 hour or more drive to play a opening round playoff game in that "region". Increase the overall regions and allow...

I believe Burg takes this one. They’ve been playing great “team” ball these past few weeks. Barnesville might hang around for a bit, but I think Burgs depth, with their ability to rotate players in and out will make a difference. Win this game and have a rematch with either Ironton or Prep.
