Valley scored 1 in top of 1st, while Unioto answered with 2 in 2nd and 2 in 3rd. Valley managed to add runs in the 4th, 6th and 8th (I think - was in the truck trying to unthaw)

It was windy and cold but it was good to take in some baseball.

Starving for some high school baseball. Any scrimmages this week worth watching?

Who left west? Don’t they still have some of the core guys from last years team? Fike, Tipton, and Sayre? Those names are still there. I’m assuming he is referring to the group that Went to ND in junior high. Yep, 2 that went to Waverly, 2 that went to Valley, and a few that went to ND. They never ...

Siderblood, you are correct. The Knittels and Howard are a great coaching staff and would be the injection West needs to build that program. It was unfortunate for Goodwin that he lost several players that are juniors, sophomores, and freshmen this year. I don't think he ever had a chance to field a...

Who's coaching Minford this year? SOC II will be Rock Solid this year. Almost all pitching returns from last season. Wheelersburg's Thomas being the only exception. If my recollection is correct, Wheelersburg loses Thomas and McKenzie Minford loses Coriell and Lewis Valley loses Morrow and Jones Wa...

SOC 2, I'd imagine will look a lot like last season. Most of the players were sophomores and juniors with a few seniors sprinkled in. Wheelersburg won it last year and will be again expected to contend. Minford and Valley, with the pitching they possess will be expecting to win the league, too. Not ...

That's basically what I meant. Notre Dame, being a private school, can compete with larger schools in certain sports. I should have specified in football, enrollment matters a lot when talking about public schools. It is why Green, Eastern, East, etc don't schedule West, Waverly, Wheelersburg, etc. ...

Enrollment figures do NOT matter when it's a private school. However, when public schools are involved, it matters greatly.

Enrollment figures, not adjusted for competitive balance.

SOC tweeted that "As in the past with two divisions, each division is based on school size." However, like in the past, that is not true. Valley and South Webster are considerably smaller than other schools in their division. Northwest and Oak Hill will be much larger than schools in the m...

Pretty sure basketball and baseball allow every team to play in the state tournament. At least there is a cut-off in football. Valley is a dangerous 3-7 team, especially if the effort is like it has been the last 3 weeks. I think the way they've played lately shows you the makeup and character of th...

I know of at least 4 transfers to Valley that do/will bring value to any program.

I was told Valley makes way more on ticket sales being in SOC 2 and that's one of the main reasons they won't leave. Can't say how true that is, just something I was told. That statement is ludicrous. Valley plays AT Wheelersburg and AT West this year. Not sure how they make money there. Plus, as s...

Since moving to SOC2 in 2006, Valley is 37-39 in conference play. Breaking it down further, the first 10 seasons in SOC2, Valley is 32-17. That means the last 6 seasons (not counting this one), Valley is 5-22 in conference play. That also corresponds with overall records: (2006-2015) 85-29 and (2016...

NW97, I think your right about enrollment size. SOC 1 makes sense. However, the other small schools probably wouldn't allow it. In other sports, playing the small schools doesn't provide the competition that SOC2 provides night in and night out. However, if I'm not mistaken Valley is in small school...

NW97, couple of things- Valley although a small school has played in the SOC2 since 2006. In 2005 Valley won the SOC 1 (11-2, 5-0) and played Northwest, Minford, Wheelersburg and Waverly as part of their non-conference. I don't think "gate money" is why they stay. As far as athletes going ...

Huntington 24 Northwest 0 Half

That makes sense...thanks.

Need some help understanding- I thought OHSAA classified according to enrollment. However when I read the 2022-23 enrollment figures I got confused. Belpre with 122 boys - AA Valley with 122 boys - AA (there are several others) Berkshire with 123 boys - A Carrington Lincoln - 126 - A What am I missi...
