Check yourself and your facts. 93 Bulldog has put it on numerous threads. It's not a 1 year thing.
And please point out where any Bulldog fans "talk crap to all the small schools they get killed by year after year." Unbelievable some people's fascination with all things Athens.

The only problem with that theory is Nelsonville-York is the ONLY D6 team in the Ohio. Athens and VC are in the same region. Meigs is only 1 division behind (and early projections show Athens could be a DIV as early as next year when the new divisional alignment comes out). The rest of the Ohio is DV. Now, take a program like NY, which is designated D6 because of enrollment - but their success on the gridiron makes them more than a D6 team. Marion Local is D7 - but lets face it - they are no D7 team/program. Every school, ever team needs to be looked at and evaluated differently and you can't just go off enrollment alone. (which is why competitive balance issues are consistently being brought to the OHSAA to try and pass every year). Marietta is a D2 program - but are they really? Valley is a D6 program - but are they really? Nelsonville-York may be labeled D6, but in my mind they are better than that.

BTW, Athens, if you want to talk 'enrollment'

took on and beat Zanesville = 432 boys
took on and beat Tri Valley = 400 boys
Toledo Central Catholic = 375 boys
Granville = 331 boys
Athens has 297 boys in the school.

How many times, how many posts did you see from Athens fans complaining about size difference in schools? Zero, zilch, nata.

The difference between Logan and Athens is 181 boys ... the difference between Athens and Nelsonville-York is 149 boys ... The Bulldogs faced the Chiefs in week ten for 30 years and never once did I hear Athens fans complain. Instead of crying all the time, go out, try and get better and win the darn game.

Are you honestly being serious? Athens didn't go out and get better and win the darn game, they ran from Logan and the rest of the seoal. Had a couple good seasons beating up on smaller schools and then had 1 great year. The best year they have ever had or ever will. And you know what, still no state title. Go ahead and say they lost to a private school, and that it's not fair that they can recruit. Is it fair that ou is in Athens so coaches sons go to school there and play. Have you ever heard any one from coldwater complaining about playing a private school. In 2007 coldwater beat cardinal mooney in the d4 state final. Mooney was referred to that year as the best high school team money could buy. A public school beat them.

Athens ran from the SEOAL with 8 playoff wins, 3 regional finals, and a state runner up in division 3. Logan and the rest of the seoal didn't want anything to do with Athens. the Mac always complains about mooney and Ursuline. The Mac gave them the nickname the university of mooney and Ursuline even tho they(Mac) uses open enrollment to their full advantage

Not sure I have ever mentioned 1 time about playing a private school ..... anywhere!

Also ... Athens did not run from Logan. Have them on the schedule for next year, had them booked on the basketball schedule twice every year since Athens left the SEOAL (until Logan backed out). Athens didn't run from Jackson or Gallia or Warren either - they play all three in almost every sport. Athens ran from the weeknight night trips to Ironton, Portsmouth and Zanesville.

I think many people are going to be very surprised when this competitive balance thing requires open enrollment schools to divulge the source of their athletes when it comes to the MAC. I talked to the Coldwater AD this spring. Coldwater has had one open enrollment football player,.... total, .... ever. He came over from Celina in the sixth grade I believe he said, graduated a few years ago.

Marion Local has picked up a few kids when Celina closed their Montezuma elementary school a few years back, making Marion a closer option.

I don't know if you call it community pride, but I would imagine a family who had a child transfer to a competing school would be looked on as a pariah. Besides where would these recruits come from ? In the case of Marion Local it is bordered by 5 MAC schools and Celina. Minster to the east ( 2 football state titles, 28 overall). Versailles to the south ( 6 football state tittles, 14 overall). St Henry to the west ( 6 football state titles, 20 overall). Coldwater to the northwest ( 5 football state titles, 20 overall). Celina to the north ( not sure of their trophy count). And New Bremen to the north east ( zip). New Bremen is a good case in point, borders both Minster and Marion Local, but I know of no athletes transferring to the successful districts.

Kudos to all the local schools for continuing to attempting to play in all the sports despite being in separate leagues.

No reason that these schools (Jackson, Athens, Warren, and Logan) wouldn't play in football, basketball, baseball, softball, etc. given their proximity to one another.

Wait a second lol...they are pretty big rivals in some of these sports...wait, lol they all are pretty close in distance with Athens being the "center"...wait, yes, they all are about the same size small D2 to large D4...oh, never mind lol that is another topic on another thread :12223 .

Congrats on the 3+ year run Athens, it surely does set up a barn burner of a Week 1 match-up next year now doesn't it lol.

I'd like to see the TRUE enrollment of all the TVC teams. Is there a site for that?
