drrabbit, I know that yearbooks are not a good source. I have looked for this info on microfilm of the Vinton County Courier, Jackson and wellston papers, chillicothe Gazette, ironton tribune and the Portsmouth Times. Couldn't find anything. E-mailed the Minford AD on August 31, nothing back yet. Ho...

WHSWarrior,

Put these down as fact:

1973 - Belpre won 14-0

1974 - Belpre won 40-0

You had scores correct, just the wrong winner.

I like it. Thanks for the pics vchoops.

Keyser, Very good article as usual. My only question is this. While N-York defeated Wellston the week prior to the Belpre upset win over the Buckeyes in 2007, it eventually had to be forfeited to Wellston because of the ineligible player. So on the field, they had 24 straight TVC wins, but wouldn't ...

I want to see that "hardward" on Ty's desk. Haven't seen one of those for, well, forever. Must be valuable.

Sorry, Ty. Couldn't pass it up.

Hawkeye, get hold of me. Need some info.

Spot on, Boiler, spot on. And what did Wellston gain???

Ty,

Better explain what Estonia is to Kenny. LOL

Just jerking your chain a bit Kenny.

Hopefully someone down Minford way can help on this one. I am researching the Vinton County girls basketball program from its inception and have not been able to come up with information on the VC-Minford game for the 87-88 season. The game was scheduled for Feb. 6 and I am fairly certain it was not...

@nd_1,

Thank you and I apologize for thinking you were ignoring my post.

But still, what are your thoughts on why Wellston's BkB program has gone down hill so mych in recent years?

I'm still not an idiot!

Boiler,

I know you did not call anyone anything. My previous post was addressed to @nd_1.

He still hasn't given me his thoughts on the stats I cited. Probably never will.

Have a good one.

@nd_1, I am not an idiot. Would you care to comment on the stats I mentioned earlier in this post in reference to VC vs. Wellston stats which I cited. Surely you and the other Wellston basketball fans can not be pleased with the direction the program has gone over the last seven years. And it appear...

Seeing as how the SEOAL began play back in 1925, hoping for stats from the 20's and 30's would be nearly hopeless. Having done a research paper for my master's degree on the history of the SEOAL from 1925 through 1968, I can tell you that in those early years there were reports of games being played...

gahs4ever, You couldn't be much more civil than that. Let me add this one thought Ironman92. What bothered me most about the 02-03 game between VC and Wellston that I spoke of earlier was the fact that that official (I do not know his name and wouldn't print it if I did) absolutely didn't care one i...

Spot on Hawkeye! You gotta love it!

Ty, The "homer" game you refer to was the worst I have ever seen. The one ref who did a job on VC didn't seem to care that everyone knew he was homering us in the last few minutes of the 43-42 VC loss at the end of the 02-03 season. I was told that one of the other officials (probably from...

Dos, Very interesting for sure. You look like some guy I have seen in commercials lately. I'm sorry for the desecration. Liked your post. Jake, You are right my friend. It is 61-50 in my book of facts, just bad typing. Losing those 10 points would bring the Wellston ppg down to 44.1 for a differenti...

Since the topic is Wellston basketball, I will throw this into the mix. For the past seven seasons (14 games) that Vinton County has played Wellston, the record is 14-0 in favor of Vinton County. The average points per game were 69.1 ppg for Vinton County and 44.8 ppg for Wellston. That is a differe...

In reference to the "Golden Rockets" of Wellston, it always looks to me that their colors must be Blue and Yellow as they usually are wearing those colors. Yellow is NOT gold. it would be more accurate if they were the "Yellow Rockets" but it really looks like Mustard and Blue. L...

Ouch!!!

Boiler, N-York also had a really good linebacker, Brian Mays who was on that team with Woodson and Boston. Woodson was a junior when Boston was a senior, so he did have his senior year by himself, except Mays and Bishop were both there also. Boston Sr. certainly had a run of exceptional athletes to ...
