Community and school district demographics change over time as does their commonality. Perhaps it is better to celebrate that the SEOAL lasted so long rather than mourn its death. Also this question needs asked. Given playoff success is now the gold standard of an athletic program's prowess, are con...

If all goes well, these will be the new teams for me this year. New London Dayton Stivers Fairport Harding Dublin Jerome Garfield Heights Trinity Madison Upper Sandusky Cincinnati Purcell Rock Hill Foxfire Toledo Woodward Toledo Rogers Eastern (Beaver) Field Ravenna I envy your avocation.

Looks like the Reds will need to finish the season 35-24 to have a shot at a wild card playoff spot. Is it doable or will it be another lost season as their starting pitching starts to hit their innings limit on Labor Day. That and I would be surprised if Hunter Greene can make any meaningful contri...

Shrinking population and dwindling tax resources will make consolidations necessary . How it shakes out only heavens knows

Aside from giving historic Spartan Stadium a new lease on life, does starting a football program at SSU accomplish anything? Does it advance the educational mission of the University? Does it truly advance the community in any way? Or does it represent another drain against the scarce resources of t...

2 hours may be hyperbole, but youth tackle practices can have quite a bit of standing around. I guess my point or question is if tackle earlier will decrease numbers. I think high school success is largely based on numbers and the higher numbers you start with at the youth level the more likely you...

Hmm? Pendleton has elevated Ironton to state championship status. He has brought collegiate level coaching and program promotion to reach the top. You could argue during Pendleton's tenure, Ironton has left the Burg and all of SE Ohio in their dust. Yet Wheelersburg is approaching 65 years of contin...

This is bad advice. He’s just wasting his time. Should go to a college that gives him an opportunity to see the field. A degree from Ohio State and being part of the football program can open many doors to a successful life even for those who will never take a live game snap. Maybe, just maybe the ...

Trey Robinette, the quarterback of the Miami Trace High School football team for the past three seasons, was planning on attending West Liberty University (located in West Virginia) and playing football for the Hilltoppers. Those plans have changed and Robinette is walking on for the defending Nati...

Of course if the AUTO PEN and Obama administration had not appeased Iran,we would not be where we are at today.

Ironton St. Joe certainly needs to be on the list. Wikipedia has a list of and information on active and defunct Ohio High School athletic conferences but the OVC is missing. Memory has a vague recollection that pre A-plant boom Wheelersburg, West, East, New Boston and Notre Dame may have been in a...

Yeah back to .500 to stir hope, but the reality is a team is only as good as the back of their baseball cards (stats). Reality is they are only the 5 th best pitching staff and 7th best hitting team in the NL against an easy schedule to date.

Losses to Texas and Michigan. Penn State is a toss up. 9-3 floor, 11-1 absolute ceiling. I'm predicting 10-2, fringe playoff team, depending on the outcome of the Penn State game. I think everyone here can admit Michigan has earned the benefit of the doubt in The Game. Washington, in Seattle, is no...

Piketon joining SOC3 probably makes the most sense of all southern Ohio schools. Was a member of SOC back in APlant construction days, but "bolted" for startup of SVC. Logistically surrounded on almost all sides by SOC schools and would slot nicely into SOC3 enrollment wise. Easy trip to/...

Just some random thoughts: Would the OVC entertain adding schools from WV? Wayne, Tolsia? St. Joe if they do in fact start football? Would the OVC and SOC ever consider merger? And there is the curious case of Ironton football. Is there a scenario where they want back in to the OVC? As much as we wa...

Portsmouth to the SOC 2/3 makes perfect sense for the Trojans. Competition and county rivals make it long over due despite black balls from years gone bye. If the story is actual, the OVC needs a new member and Oak Hill would be a suspect. And as mattash suggests, the move might trigger more changes...

Some of these hiring practices are Not good. Pretty much everyone in the State should have a Coach by now. Everyone should have their coaching positions filled for the 2025-2026 school year but school boards have to follow rules on hiring as spelled out by state laws and union labor agreements. Thr...

Reds hitting falling up towards average. Reds pitching falling down to average. Average points to 81 wins and another missed post season . Of course intermingled will be win streaks and losing streaks mixed with enough great player performances to keep us interested in the Reds until August. I hope ...

We hope he can contribute, but it does make you wonder why TOSU under Holtmann and now Diebler cannot attract decent enough talent to make the field of 64. The resources are there, bug does the commitment from exist from Admin?
