They are now heading to the state playoffs for the 5th time in 8 years, have hosted 4 times, been the No. 1 seed and played in a state championship game.
Athens is doing better than fine. Light years ahead of where the program once was.

Re: Region 11 #8 Athens @ #1 Bishop Hartley
Watkins Memorial was an average (5-5) team in 2013 & Jackson was a (6-4) D3 team.
Logan is bigger than Watkins and we had Canal, a D2 that went 9-1 this year on the schedule but they backed out. Our schedule would have been very comparable to 2013. Can't help it they back out on the contract & we had to pick up Fairland

Re: Region 11 #8 Athens @ #1 Bishop Hartley
I've said it a thousand times, no need to fix something that isn't broke.
Next year Athens plays Logan, Jackson, Waverly & Parkersburg South.
Hopefully that's good enough for everyone, but I doubt it. Lol

Re: Region 11 #8 Athens @ #1 Bishop Hartley
Until Athens non league schedule is consistently against teams comparable in size it won't be good enough for most. For me personally, I could care less, I'll root for the local schools come playoff time
Its all in the hips

Re: Region 11 #8 Athens @ #1 Bishop Hartley
What everyone fails to understand is that you first have to get the chance to play a team like Hartley. Athens is what, the 10th or 11th best team in the region? But we're still playing week 11. DeSales scheduled up and they are getting ready for basketball right now. Every year is different, but in this case (2018), if Athens played Jackson & Waverly they might be 7-3 and getting ready for hoops too.
What made this year so different was that every single team on Athens schedule had a down year & a few teams had tough schedules on top of that. Even still, the Bulldogs don't stub their toe at Fairland - they are hosting a playoff game for the 5th time in 8 years.
And it should actually be 6th time in 8 years had it not been for a 31-30 loss at Logan in 2016. The Bulldogs were 8 points (loss to Canal 21-14) from being 9-1 and a top 4 seed AGAIN.

Re: Region 11 #8 Athens @ #1 Bishop Hartley
We all understand. Congrats on the Jeaux years, well deserved regardless of league with a terrific D1 caliber qb. Other than those years, 1990 with another OU coaches kid at QB in a 7-3 regular season and shutout loss to DeSales in rd. 1 and this year which will probably be around the same outcome with Hartley, there have been no other playoff years. I applaud both N-Y (17 appearances) and Trimble (15 appearances) for what they have accomplished over the decades for Athens county in the playoffs . If this, if that, would be, etc. is bull. Canal went 9-1 and didn't make it this year because of their conference. Much as with the TVC, in the OCC if you play bad teams you shouldn't be rewarded. Two teams on their schedule had a winning record, sound familiar ? We'll see what happens Friday night I guess.93Bulldog wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 3:34 pm What everyone fails to understand is that you first have to get the chance to play a team like Hartley.

Athens has made the playoffs 5 of the last 8 years. They will more than likely make it the next few years in a row. Be interesting how you spin it

The big thing Athens loses is a lot off the line. Athens will have a lot of speed next year. This team is more a ground and pound team. They stop the run well.

Re: Region 11 #8 Athens @ #1 Bishop Hartley
No spin here, have NEVER won a playoff game without Burrow under center and were outscored 69-7 in 1990 and 2011 in those other 2 games combined. It'll probably be around 100-14 in 3 games after friday.Raider6309 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 4:45 pm Athens has made the playoffs 5 of the last 8 years.

Re: Region 11 #8 Athens @ #1 Bishop Hartley
First off I'm not from Athens, nor am I a Bulldog fan. Do I think they can beat Hartley,no and neither can the other 99% of teams in SEO. If we haven't heard at least 10,000 times or more that Athens withdrawing from the SEOL, was the start of the demise of the league, then we've been living under a rock. Why are the kids that are in school now and are playing now, how are they responsible for what happened years ago? The kids also have no say as to what league they are in, whether it be the TVC or another league. Believe me the Coaches and the Kids both know the odds they are facing when having to go and play against a team like Hartley. It would just be nice if people and the fans would want to not only support Athens, but all other SEO teams that were fortunate enough to be able to make the playoffs.

Or just shrugs off the fact that Joe was in fact an Athens kid, grew up here, went to grade school here, the whole nine years.
I mean, what, are we going to take away credit now from Trimble for having the two boys from Corning a few years ago?
How about NY when they had a kid from Wellston AND Trimble?
At least Joe grew up in Athens, played pee-wee football with his Athens teammates.
And while Joe was great, there were 3 other D1 players on that team and a RB now at Georgetown ... All Athens natives, born and raised.

Nope but probably around the same age. We consider history and decades of sports knowledge in our prognostications and posts.
