SEOAL demise: Good or bad for modern era former teams?

[Raider6309]

Locos what league is Logan looking at?

I don't think that the SEOAL will ever be re-formed. Ironton gets too many playoff points by playing KY teams within 5 miles of the school. Still would like to see the Tigers play the Ironmen from time to time. We beat Jackson in the last game of the season 7-0 in 1979. The winner of that game made the playoffs back when there was only 1 team representing each region in AA. I don't know if that has happened before or since among two SEOAL teams. I think the Blue Devils are comfortable in the OVC and will be competitive for years to come.

Locos what league is Logan looking at?

Trying to start one. Several southeastern central Ohio schools are interested - Canal, Groveport, and Teays. Think if they could convince two more like Hamilton Twp, Whitehall, or Chillicothe you'd see a six team league.



Also still think Mid-State is the best option - but not really in our control. Need some movement there. Whitehall seems kind of out of place in the mid-size division. WH is DII while the rest of the division is DIV or DV.

If the Highland County schools leave the FAC I could see that being a possibility. Jackson and Chillicothe would like Logan in that league.

I can't see Canal leaving the OCC. They are the fastest growing city in Ohio

Western Brown lost by 70 to Clinton Massie. You need to get outside of Jackson. Athens beat Parkersburg South who beat Morgantown. Morgantown almost beat a team Clinton massie cant beat

You’re right Raider . Athens would kill Jackson . I apologize

Athens lost to Fairland . Case closed .

I never really considered them a Seoal
Team but yes they are legit

Anyone have the complete list of teams that have played in the Seoal throughout its history?

The transitive property always works in football, right? I know that you don't even believe half of what you post on here though.

What week do Jackson and Athens play next year? Week 2, I think. I can't wait.

[Raider6309]

Week 2 at Athens. Should be a good one

[37reps@225#]

Athens was the toilet bowl champs of the SEOAL. they tapped out just like the rest of the Athenian society culture.

In retrospect it didn't work out too well for Portsmouth. We weren't going to keep up at the same level we had from 97-05 but it wouldn't have been as quick and harsh decline if we wouldn't have joined

Athens will roll them next year, and honestly would this year as well.

[GalliaGrad78]

Who would beat Athens easily.

Lol. Western Brown sucks. Athens would roll Jackson. You guys are so small

Do you seriously believe that?
If so, there are people with PHD at the end of their names that can help.

[countywide35]

Athens Jackson be a good one. but I wouldn't say Athens will kill Jackson next year by any stretch of the imagination. Ironmen will be returning too many players from this years squad to believe that the Bulldogs will embarrass the Ironmen at The Plains next fall.

Athens can't even "roll" Logan.

I am always skeptical of anyone leaving the OCC. Which is why I never believed the league that nearly came together last year would happen.

However - Groveport and Canal were not happy with the next OCC realignment (which was designed to make the Pickerington schools happy). And I think they both realize the league is unlikely to do much for them in future realignments.


My sources say Groveport and Canal are both still very interested in a new SE Columbus league. But my sources have been wrong before so we'll see.

Jackson stubbed their toe a couple of times this year with some young guys. The coach is too good to allow this next year. The Ironmen will be very dangerous in 2019. I wouldn't bet against them when playing Athens.

That sums up the young 2018 Ironmen. Anyone that has any knowledge of the game knows this. Jackson will be favored to win every game in 2019 rumor is more transfers are coming in to join in. The Catholics are going to envy Jackson’s recruits.

Be better for playoffs. They are a 9-1 OCC school that will miss the playoffs. But their AD is an idiot for dropping Athens

who did canal replace athens with?
