Ditka! No contest!

I wouldn't be surprised if both Marietta and Warren left the SEOAL in the near future. Since the league's expansion, it seems to me that those two schools have kind of lost touch with the rest of the league. I think the higher-profile additions of Chillicothe, Ironton and Portsmouth may have pushed ...

Ironman02 is correct. In addition to Jackson, I have been told by leaders from my district that administrators from several school districts represented in the SEOAL are concerned about travel expenses, especially when diesel prices still top four bucks a gallon. If the league membership dwindles, i...

Off topic, but Logan came to Gallipolis tonight for a 7th grade game. They brought two buses because they dressed 67 boys!!!!!! I remarked that we would have to hold boys back for three years to get 67 out! If they need boys to fill out the roster, head to the skate park at Haskins Park in Gallipol...

That's all I've got to say about that.

High school sports runs in cycles. Towns produce a string of good athletes over a period of time, but then the gene pool slips a bit and so does the program. Kids also become interested in other pastimes and sports. I've seen some really good athletes sitting in the stands at football games I've att...

Ohio Valley Publishing (Gallipolis, Point Pleasant, Pomeroy) is also owned by Heartland, which owns the PDT. Having worked for OVP in Gallipolis for many years, I understand some of the obstacles facing papers in small towns. When I was sports editor in Gallipolis, I had two reporters who covered Ma...

Blue, i like the staff. They should not be under pressure. But Blue, i am just not feeling good about the Devils this week. these two teams seem to be headed in opposite directions. Beside i want jackson to be undefeated when the Logan game comes around. 2old, True. The GAHS coaching staff should n...

Why's that?

2old,
Gotta go for now. It's bedtime for my son. Rant with you later.
I'd like to meet you sometime, dude. You sound like a hoot!

I wasn't aware this was an unsafe place. Do I need to be concerned?

I see this as purely entertainment. I certainly don't take it seriously. My mistake, I guess. Beg pardon if I offended anyone's sensibilities. I do enjoy reading the posts, though. Keep it up. Vanilla! Mmmm! Please pass the sprinkles and chocolate syrup!
By the way ... GO BLUE!

Finally! Somebody talking about football on a football thread! I had to wade through so much baloney (schedule-hating, personal attacks, kindergarten slap fighting) to get back to the game, I almost forgot that this is about prep football. Anyway, I always look forward to Jackson-Gallipolis. It coul...
