I think valley pulls this one off as they really want the 12th seed instead of 15th but either way they are in a battle that won’t be easy but I still think besides Marion local they probably play the hardest schedule in their region

I hate that valley got stuck in a region with Marion local that’s just brutal even if they turn it around it basically guarantees that they never win the region again

Valley has fought hard last couple of weeks and I look for them to win next week but I think they will make the playoffs even with a loss but as long as valley doesn’t play that juggernaut #1 seed I think they have a chance to beat any of the other teams in their region I just don’t see how anyone o...

I believe the Valley senior class had around 18-19 8th graders. They now have 12 seniors. I know a couple left the district and I think a few went soccer only. The Junior class I believe has always had low participation in football for some reason. It seems to me more boys come out for basketball t...

It’s just crazy to think teams are going to make it with just 3 wins

Yep. But Ironton fans on here think they are on the up and up with it. I guess they don’t want to admit that’s why they are winning but when you got talent like that coming in, you gonna win a bunch of games. The other area coaches are just going to have to get balls and do it themselves or Ironton...

We have heard that money is considered in this but they have a pretty insane amount of money in the bank and really nothing left to spend it on for awhile so that shouldn’t be a issue. The three divisions is the only thing that’s fair to all sides but also the least likely thing to happen. Losing is...

So I pulled up some OHSAA's Competitive Balence Numbers for 2022. Here's some of the local numbers. Green 65 East 45 Symmes Valley 94 *Eastern 109 Notre Dame 48 South Gallia 75 *Manchester 108 *Western 93 (I put a * next to those schools as they have larger numbers than the usual SOC1 Schools but a...

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 could be true I have always heard they don’t want to go down I don’t know what is best for them at this point their enroll...

Valley was only a few kids from being d7 and most expect them to be on the next count [/quote] Put this is a little context ---- Valley has been d6 out of 7 divisions since they started d7 in 2013. That is 10 out of the last 10 years. We really do not know before 2013 because there were only 6 divi...

Once again you do not give the smaller SOC I schools any consideration. You can see your dilemma but fail to see it for others. The NW move left a bad taste in those small schools mouth. South Gallia and I heard Manchester may be coming into the SOCI.....more D7 schools. I don't see a spot opening ...

I dont have a stake in the community. Im an alumni and lifelong fan. Those closest to program knows best. I do know you need at least 16 to 18 strong athletes to have a realistic chance to compete against the stronger teams. You have to keep the kids fresh, because what we have seen is Valley gets ...

Something definitely needs to change for valley because year after year of getting stomped in the division is only going to have more kids transferring out. Next few years we will be looking at a 2-3 win season. Valley has some of the best athletes in the county the basketball and baseball teams pro...

We are 3 years from being able to move “down” from what I was told tonight. So moving down isn’t an immediate option. I just hope the people that make decisions, understand the situation we are in. And what it will take to help our program. This coaching staff is not the problem. There are no peopl...

Might be facts. But there’s a lot of facts in my post. And people need to understand it. The realization that we (when we are strong in our program, we can compete with schools twice our size) That’s one thing. But the understanding that (when we are not strong) we struggle. That’s where we are in ...

Tonight has made me change my mind about valley moving down to the soc 1 I totally feel we have the right staff but some don’t have a lot of experience Keller is still young and we all know he has worse problems at home to deal with so I say give them time. As for tonight if some of those passes was...

Defense???? Responsibilities. Who has containment? Either kids way out of position, or scheme does not work with the kids we have.Same issues... You’re right the linebackers have not made a play all night and always out of position. Most of the time we don’t have a guy within 5 yards of the receive...

Valley just are not able to execute anything tonight. They have had 4 plays that would have been a td if the ball was either caught or the pass wasn’t overthrown. On defense they are struggling with just about everything.

Valleys game plan of not covering anyone doesn’t seem to be working tonight

This valley team if they played the way they did last week all year they would been 6-0 they looked totally different at times. Nickel came in and it was like night and day. I think waverly has a strong run game which is what we has struggled with but to be fair everyone has struggled with the coal ...
