Re: High School Playoff Attendance

I recently attended the Ironton/Amanda game. I only had to drive 10 minutes to Amanda. I spent about twenty dollars counting ticket, parking, food and gasoline. Most fans do not go alone. When I was raising a family that game would have cost 75 to 90 dollars to attend. If you are talking about a 100...

Re: D IV R15 Qtrs: Ironton (6-4) at Amanda- Clearcreek (8-2)

I took the ten minute drive to the game tonight. It was a game where the momentum swung back and forth. After the first posession for each team it looked to be a high scoring afare. Just goes to show you never can tell. At times AC ran the ball well and at other times Ironton got so much penetration...

Re: D3 R12 Semifinal - Jackson (11-0) vs. Jonathan Alder (11

Congratulations Jackson. Keep on keepin' on. Mentally treat this game as if you were playing a very tough opponent in the seventh week of the regular season. Why? Because you will have three games to go after you win this one. I look for this to be a high scoring game. Its a matter of time before th...

Re: Final 2011 Gallipolis football statistics

Earlier in the year there were questions about the accuracy of the blue devil defensive stats. I did not and do not condone the padding of stats. However the stats turned into Jottings are ultra conservative, and the following newpaper article is the reason this is unfair to players who may be consi...

Re: D III R12 Qtrs: #7 Jackson (10-0) at #2 Athens (10-0)

Congratulations Jackson. Don't be satisfied, remember the championship is a five game tournament. You have taken that first step. Get ready physically and most of all mentally for next weeks game.

Congratulations Athens you had a great season and have no reason to hang your head.

Re: Final 2011 Gallipolis football statistics

I don't think anyone turned their back on anyone. I understand that there were problems with some players being able to grasp the playbook. I know of some that struggled there, and had their playing time reduced because of that. One in particular was a mainstay of our defense, early on he was given ...

Re: Final 2011 Gallipolis football statistics

He is a potential D1 player. He needs to get to a higher competition level if he is moving. That should make him even better and get him more exposure. He also needs to become a student of the game to prepare him for a possible D1 scholarship. If he isn't going to accomplish those things by moving, ...

Re: Final 2011 Gallipolis football statistics

Agree with mmd, thank you Jottings for the dedication and effort. I can tell you from experience that these stats in a scrapbook will be looked over by sons, daughters and wives. Hopefully grandsons and granaughters will also check out the scrap books we took so much time to put together.

Re: What Playoff Games Will You Be Attending?

Grandma and I have missed our 'old peoples outing' on Friday night for three months. I may stay home for that, or i may travel down to Athens for the Jackson vs Athens game.

Saturday I will probably make the ten minute drive to Amanda to see them take on Ironton.

Re: Year of the Ugly SEOAL

Paladin, I have told you several times in the past that I am very much in agreement with you about scheduling quality competition. I have talked about how Jackson needs to improve its non-conference schedule, and I think they are in the process of doing that. Ironton and St. Charles were quality ga...

Re: D III R12 Qtrs: #7 Jackson (10-0) at #2 Athens (10-0)

Athens and Jackson are both 10-0 and should be commended for their accomplishments, one of these schools will end their season Friday night and will still be able to say it was one of the best years/teams in school history. As an Athens fan who respects the Jackson program as much as any other outs...

Re: D III R12 Qtrs: #7 Jackson (10-0) at #2 Athens (10-0)

Below is a GAHS fan's view of Athens and Jackson. I am just a fan, have never coached and its been well over 50 years since I played. I personally believe it is very difficult for most fans to give accurate game predictions based on watching two teams play a common opponent. Varying strengths and w...

Re: Year of the Ugly SEOAL

noreply66.....your posts referencing costs says it all. The SEO teams need to play each other to have less travel expenditures and larger gate receipts. If they don't do this high school football will fold at some of these schools. Just keep playing and enjoying high school football. It may not be o...
