Re: D2 Regionals: Athens vs St. Clairsville

Most recent word is that the game will stay at Bob Wren Stadium. Emily Gates stuck to her guns. Good move in a positive direction.

Re: D2 Regionals: Athens vs St. Clairsville

On Facebook those “memory” pictures often pop up each day, and yesterday mine was of a picture that Power 105 took of the crowd at Bob Wren Stadium in 2017 when Athens played Marietta in the Regional semifinal there (that year they moved venues for that one single game). Every seat in every section ...

Re: D2 Regionals: Athens vs St. Clairsville

Perhaps families from Warren, Circleville, and Sheridan should all send a bill to OHSAA for reimbursements of whatever shoes they had to buy to play there this past week. It was not a secret that Ohio University installed turf on the field inside Bob Wren Stadium, nor was it a secret that the D2 Reg...

Re: 5/21 (15-7) Southern v (22-3) Green

Green looked like they are a pretty solid team. Just threw the ball around the field too much and gave Southern several free bases that turned into runs. Then Southern took advantage of what Green gave them and added more with their bats. Green put the bat on the ball but Southern's defense didn't m...

Re: 5/22 Clay v Southern

Southern looked REALLY good tonight. Had 2 kids hit 80 on the gun and fielded it really well. Strange decision to pull the starter around 40 pitches and end up using up both of the pitchers from tonight’s game to where they can’t pitch against Clay, but I’m sure they had their reasons. One thing I ...

Re: Logan Baseball 2019

Best wishes to Coach Sutton as well. Good, young coach with still a lot of opportunity ahead of him. Has a big picture mindset and approach to coaching the game. Always enjoyed my interactions with him.

Re: WK10: Athens (8-1) @ Nelsonville-York (4-5) TVC-Ohio Championship

Always look forward to this game, regardless of either team's record. Also really like Nelsonville-York's press box. Plenty of space. Volume control in each booth. Great hospitality. Nice place to work. And will especially appreciate it tonight in the 90% chance of steady rain. ;)

Re: D2 Districts

I got to hang around and assist with Athens softball a little bit this year. We began our season with New Lexington and ended it in the Sectional with Waverly. Those two teams, in my opinion, were the two best overall and well-rounded teams we faced this year. The 1-0 score just might validate that ...

Re: Division II District Tournament

Athens has a seriously bright future! Really nice team for at least the next 2 years and probably longer with what they have in place. What impressed me the most about the young pups, in both championship games (vs Waverly, vs Unioto) ... They didn't commit an error. Not one. While that doesn't see...

Re: Division II District Tournament

It is too bad they could not have made tonight work, especially with the sketchy forecast. It rained a ton in Athens this morning, so no doubting it was soaked. Had the field tarp been on, though, I'm wondering if games could have been played at Wren tonight. I know it's no easy task to deal with ge...

Re: D2 Boys Baseball Sectional/District Outlook

Since we can't play due to all the weather, may as well discuss and speculate the local teams for Sectionals and Districts. On the good news front, if I read the OHSAA brackets correctly OU will be hosting the regionals this year instead of that minefield in Zanesville, which is about 5 years overd...

Thanks so much for the promotion of my book, Orange and Brown. Shoehorn is correct, I graduated from Meigs High School and actually remember playing against Fred Gibson's teams in the late 80's, which were absolutely loaded. In 2005 Coach Gibson invited me to join his coaching staff, where I worked ...
