I do not know what the disposition of this proposed league might be. I'm a little too swallowed up right now with rebuilding Sulsberger Stadium and my son's Legion baseball schedule to keep up with it. But I don't believe that it is a hot issue at the moment anyway.
I think I answered the Warren issue before -- could be of interest, but I don't know as they've been included in any formal discussions.
I would say this -- plot where the schools are on your maps, and then overlay the interstate highways. Most of them are fairly close to either I-70 or I-77. THAT is where this league would show some merit. If you're going to have to travel fairly long distances to play another school, it's far better to do it on interstates than otherwise. I think most of the SEOAL membership should be able to understand that. In our case, it's a much "easier" drive to Marietta than it is to almost all other league schools.
I think it is a better option for Marietta but who knows what the future will bring in this SEOAL? If we do go to a 6 team SEAOL, I know Chillicothe is located in the perfect position of the SEOAL Map, concerning travel.
I also think Warren should seek this option, if the other OVAC schools would be interested.
The miles concerning travel is based on map quest. WOW, I can't believe it is that far from Marietta to Ironton.
