mattash I used to be against any change but with Wahama leaving and the numbers dropping in the Hocking...maybe it is time to look at this. My only concern would be the travel nightmares under the D7 lineup. formerfcfan, that is good news for the Falcons but perhaps the best time to check numbers wo...

You are right Licking County but it could be out of the AD's hands.
Let's take Trimble this year and suppose two things:
1, They weren't able to schedule a game 5
2, They then have 2 league teams not play them. (See Fort Frye Vs Federal if anyone thinks that may not happen)

Thanks.

If you play 8 games would your divisor be 8?

As schools struggle to field teams and we have some who start with numbers under 20 it will become more likely that certain schools may not be able to play all the games on their schedule. We have all ready seen this with Millersport and Rosecrans cancelling in the summer and Federal Hocking not abl...

Anybody from the TVC.

I can't argue with you. The T, I, and Wishbone are becoming rarities. If you want to see the "Smash Mouth" style here locally Trimble can provide what you seek. I think it's a product of the safety aspect of the game and the low numbers might be driving it----but regardless of the reason i...

The Falcons will play 11 man football this year.
Numbers are down but that seems to be happening everywhere.

You are arguing with yourself Big Boy. I agreed that most accidents happen where you drive the most. I also stand by my assertion that an accident that happens during a kid's normal driving routine will be viewed much differently than one that happened when they are returning from a sporting event t...

This makes two teams from this league that has folded their football teams as Rosecrans joins Millersport.
I wonder if they will try to recruit teams to take their place?

bman, no I wouldn't because common sense tells me most accidents will happen where you drive the most. However, an accident on the way to school or the grocery store will be seen as unlucky. An accident while driving 3 or 4 total hours will be seen as unnecessary. I would also hazard to guess that m...

Enigmaxx if you are right then all they are doing is adding a lot of travel. I would think that has to hurt attendance; at least by the higher seeds. Parents will be reluctant to let their kids drive an hour and a half or more one way to watch a game and if it's viewed as a play in game they won't b...

What are the pros to this? We are going back to an earlier time when you had to win at least 3 and sometimes 4 games to win a Sectional. We quit doing that for a reason. Travel will be a nightmare because we are talking about Winter not Spring or Fall. I think you will see a drop in attendance. The ...

If that's the case maybe they can steal one from Caldwell or Huntington. The only reason I'm interested is I want us to have 2 to 3 teams in the playoffs. I don't think Belpre can make it at 8-2 in Div VI unless you think they can beat Fort and go 9-1. I still think Eastern gives them a game. It's b...

They have Belpre and Waterfod at home and that is a big help. Did Belpre go on the road and beat anybody other than Wahama last year? Waterford lost two studs in their QB and TB. They won't be easy to replace. I'll give you the 4 you mentioned will be tough with Trimble definitely not happening---bu...

I'm not understanding how people think Jackson will be a give-me for Athens.
Where is the evidence for that?

Fort Frye is like a playoff game for Belpre.
They aren't beating Trimble and there isn't a big bundle of points out there for them unless Warren really surprises.
They travel to Eastern so that will be uphill.
I don't see them making it in Division 6 with a 7-3 record.
8-2 could do it.

The Iggles schedule is front loaded and this was a problem for them last year. People were cussing the coach and then suddenly they played the more manageable part of their year and almost ran the table. They are older this year and can handle the early stiffer competition. If they can come out of t...

Can the number be appealed or is it set in stone?

It looks like Trimble is Division 6 by two kids.
Hopefully they can lose a few and get back down to 7.
