Final: Tri-Valley 37 Logan 7

[teach1coach2]

The football field is built on an old canal. Just outside the pic on the top left side are the giant stones still standing that made up the locks used to go from the canal level into the Muskingum River.

[TRENCHFOOT]

The highway on the end zone side with the SCOTTIES is SR 208. If the pic was bigger you would see the high school at the bottom of the pic. On the other side of the school is the track and a grass practice field in the middle.

There is plenty of parking within reasonable walking distance. Around the school, behind the Scotties' Den restaurant, near the storage sheds, on the streets uptown.

If you are going through Somerset to get to Dresden, I would suggest 13N, 16E, 60S, 208E to get to game.

Going SR 22 through Zanesville is like 30 traffic lights from South Zanesville to North Zanesville with speed limits of 25 and 35.

As far as the game, Tri-Valley is still a playoff caliber team. Not talking D3 State Runner Up like 2017, but likely playing in week 12 of 2019. They can pass or run. Lost some depth at linemen, but still enough left to complement a very talented group at all "skill positions".

2020 will be the year the better teams in the MVL that have not beaten TV very much the last decade (if at all) have a decent chance of beating them. 2021 more so. Logan and Jackson play week 1 next year, so this is it for TV and Logan.

Here's another one. Little bigger pic. Can see a little bit of it. High School is across the road from the field? Cool.

Bigger pic.
Top left corner is HS soccer field.
As you move down pic there is 4 youth baseball fields
HS softball field
HS baseball field

Top middle is Middle School
then Dresden Elementary (also elementary schools in Nashport, Frazeysburg and Adamsville)
then town cemetery.

Top right corner is storage units (parking between those and Main Street). Easy to get out after game.
School fitness center. Two basketball courts and walking track.
Bus garage where buses are parked. White house is the administration center.

Edge of High school roof is at the bottom of pic. School built in 1968ish. Additional built on about 1993ish and another addition in 2005ish. About 950 students 9-12 minus the students who go to area vocational school or post secondary option.

Directly behind visitor's stands is the Haliburton Building which houses a big locker room for each team (home side very very nice, visitor side big room with wood benches), visitor rest rooms and weight room.

Tri-Valley is one of the bigger D3 (football) schools in Ohio.

I've heard people call them Dresden Tri Valley many times, Paper prints it I've noticed before Dresden Tri Valley. It's in Dresden School district isn't it?

My fault, I was referring to the Muskingum river, it starts in Coshocton.
Yes, Tri-Valley is in Dresden. Usually a good atmosphere for a Friday night. Plenty of parking but sometimes can be a pain leaving.

That's ok. No biggie. I knew it started up there somewhere. It's a lot smaller looking up in the Dresden area compared to on down stream near Malta in Morgan County. My Aunt has a weekend get away cottage down in that area. The river is real wide to boat/water ski/jet ski etc.

Know the area well. Original lived on the river between Malta and Stockport. Definitely some good boating. You can lock thru clear to zanesville. Just north before Dresden it really gets shallow. Summertime people will park in the middle of the river and wade from boat to boat.

Is the road still in the river down in Morgan county? I haven’t been there in awhile

Don't know Raider, I haven't been down that way in awhile either. 3 years ago when we took a new sofa to my Aunts place. What Road are you talking about? Is that what one of the threads was about on here awhile back, needing an emergency fund or something?

Had some good times on the river in my younger days. Only been through one lock up stream from Malta. Kinda creepy. I heard something about people parking boats way up river and partying sometimes. Never been to one of those before. Sounds fun. Cool fast boats, cold drinks, and good looking women.

That's the way google says is fastest ,but they have another route that is over 5 miles shorter and nearly the same time. I thought about taking that one. Doesn't look like there would be many stop lights either. Definitely not going through Zanesville! Would have to leave about 1/2 hour earlier to do that.

[teach1coach2]

I grew up in a neighboring district to Logan and teach at Tri-Valley. I know all the routes well. If you are coming by yourself or someone in passenger seat, the roller coaster routes are fine. If you got people in the back seat and don't want them car sick along the way, go the route I posted earlier. Not much longer, but much straighter. Anything going through Zanesville will take longer due to stop lights and road construction between Zanesville and Dresden.

Last year I ate at the Old Dutch before the game. I would suggest those making the trip stop at the Road House if going through Newark, Bill's BBQ if going through Zanesville (it's north of Zanesville), and Warehouse if you want to eat in Dresden.

[loganlocos]

I went to see a playoff game at TV a few years ago (New Philly).

Great facility. Parking wasn't too bad. I mean you might walk a little bit, but nothing horrible. Logan fans might be a little spoiled now in that regard, but TV is a heckuva lot better than old Bill Sauer Field was, LOL.

Logan usually travels really well for week one. I'm sure there will be a good purple following.

Appreciate the direction route teach 1, and c bolt.....Sounds like a road trip.....Good luck to the Chieftains..... From reading some different threads it maybe a good season......

Should be a nice crowd

Is this what you was talking about, Raider?

[Raider6309]

Yeah. I saw pics on Facebook.

[TRENCHFOOT]

I thought that was what you was talking about. Had me worried about my Aunts place. Her place is on the other side of the river from this. On the Malta side.

Tri-Valley student section theme for Friday is Red White and Blue Patriotic theme.

Prediction:
TV 35 and Logan 14.

Wow, I think the "Logan Locos" have the same theme.


Think you could be close with a score prediction. A realistic goal is to make TV work for what they get. No defensive TDs - no huge special teams gaffs.

I'd like to see Logan take away some things on the defensive side of the ball - so if they can contain the ground game and force TV to go over the top OR if they take away some of the "easy" throws but surrender more on the ground, I'll still feel like its progress.

TV's defense is always so well prepared. Their kids understand the scheme and their specific job so well that they can play with a contained aggression. They are so quick and know how to punish you. I'm not sure Logan has the balance on offense to find a ton of success against the Scotties. So again I'll be looking for little successes - execution will be important.

Go Chiefs.

All I look for and hope for is the team to play as one. The players have been demoralized in recent years and the new coach is reversing that trend. Sure he will tear into you, but he will teach you too. He will drag you through the dirt, but he will pick you up and dust you off. That will go far in getting results from his players.

This is the beginning of the rebirth of Logan football. The cupboard is starting to fill up and the coaching is in place. There will be a few lean classes, but the programs (youth to high school) are heading in the right direction.

[TRENCHFOOT]

Heard many good things about the new coach. Wouldn't surprise me if everyone notices a big change in the Chiefs Friday night. GO CHIEFS!!!

[Paladin]

Some of the locals are hopeful, but I warn everyone the schedule is tough and frontloaded. I’m looking for them to go 4-6 . They have some size and if the run game is decent, they can control TOP and keep the other team off the field. That should help to keep some games close. If the D is also decent, they may lose some but keep it close as well. Don’t see a win with TV, but looking for being competitive in the opener. Rome wasn’t built in a day, but a good foundation gets them set up for a quicker turn around.

Go Chiefs.
