Re: Vinton County Vikings @ Alexander Spartans
With this rain I don't think there will be any sparks. With the conditions, which team has the advantage?

Re: Public 3 Private 1(No crying from the private side)
The one advantage for private schools is they can control their admission. This means that they can keep their numbers down and stay in a lower division. Public schools have to take anyone in their zone. Thank God for public schools, they take kids that otherwise wouldn't have a prayer of getting in...

Re: SHOULD CHEERLEADING BE CONSIDERED A SPORT
Cheerleading is a sport . However most of their short comings is brought on by administration and League rules. Our league is ground bound. From what I have been told the league is afraid of injuries. Yet our football team suffered 4 season ending injuries in one season. My daughters teams practiced...

Re: Lady Warriors v Alexander
Was at the game, Malone and Richardson getting 3rd foul early in 2nd quarter didn't help. Warren utilized good press that gave our girls some problems. This is a good starter for Alexander to see what they need to improve. Not sure about the ugly part, both teams played with high intensity which som...

Re: Is the Convo hosting another Christmas tourney?
The Alexander Boosters held the tournament at the Convo for 15 years. OU decided that their schedules would not permit a tournament. We began holding the Ohio River Classic at Marietta College. We liked it because it was not only a beautiful venue and it allowed the fans to get closer to the floor. ...

Re: Referees
In some instances the speed of the game has increased, they don't get down the court in time and call what they perceive. I don't think it always about caring and professionalism, it more about not being able to keep up. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to talk to refs. They have days jobs...

Re: New Rule Change Enforcement woes begin...
Hope you like 4 hour games with all the fouls calls or 99-98 because of no defense. If they call this they need to call the offensive hook where the player hooks around the defense makes it easier to turn the corner. No touching by defense same rules should apply to offense

Re: Alexander vs Trimble
Is it possible the Alex coaches found a weakness and addressed that at halftime. Coaches have been known to change game plans at halftime based on what they see during the game. Also you maybe discrediting the NY players by saying they weren't trying to do their best.

Re: Alexander Spartans 2-2 @ Wellston Rockets 2-2
Went to the game maybe 3 or 4 questionable calls out of over 100 plays. Not all in favor of Wellston. Alexander made more plays including a big FG at the end. However, the night was about a lost soldier and for that Wellston deserves an A++. It really put sports in prospective.

Re: Warren Job
Don't understand the correlation between teaching and being a good coach. Seen several coaches that weren't teachers. Sometimes it causes problems.

Re: Softball Rule changes
i know its not the rule, but I still feel orange base should be for runners only. There are some instances where the 1st baseman goes to orange base and doesnt have to. Also a first baseman making a last second choice to use the orange, now the the baserunner who should be running in foul territory ...

Couple of rule changes I dont understand. Players not forced to slide, this can create more collisions especially at the plate. Major league baseball has looked at this and made changes. 2nd Softball has a safety base originally the orange base was for runners and white base is for fielders. This ha...

Re: OHSAA does again
I do not have a problem with the certifications. I feel $40-45 for an online test where the computer does 95% of the work is a little much. At my previous job we took the training each year and I think you get alot more out of hands on than simply taking a test on line.

At our school, our nurse wanted to be certified to teach 1st Aid and CPR to our coaches. This would make it alot easier for the coachs to obtain. Not only is it required, the coaches would have on hand experience and guidance. She contacted the ODE explained what she wanted to do as far as getting t...
