TVC Hocking adds South Gallia, Belpre moving down

[NYBuckeye96]

At the TVC meeting last night in Athens, South Gallia was voted into the TVC as the 14th member. South Gallia will join the TVC Hocking in 2010-2011. Belpre will also move down from the TVC Ohio to the TVC Hocking to give each division an even number of schools. The TVC Ohio will have 6 schools and the TVC Hocking will have 8 schools.

TVC in 2010:

TVC OHIO:
Alexander
Athens
Meigs
Nelsonville-York
Vinton County
Wellston

TVC HOCKING:
Belpre
Eastern
Federal Hocking
Miller
South Gallia
Southern
Trimble
Waterford


I guess the next logical step will be to either add two teams to the TVC OHIO for two 8 team divisions or add teams and split the league into three divisions.

Football in 2010 might not have this lineup, depending on schedule commitments already in place by Belpre and South Gallia.

[NYBuckeye96]

All 13 schools voted in favor of adding South Gallia.

The Belpre vote to move down to the Hocking was 10-2-1. The no votes were Eastern and Trimble. Wellston abstained.

I didn't think Belpre would want to move to the Hocking. Interesting.

Maybe they will finally let Warren in the Ohio.

[WHSwarrior]

This is very interesting...I'm not saying Warren WANTS to come to the TVC, but, if Marietta leaves for the ECOL and Portsmouth for the SOC and Logan for bigger and better things, well, then we might need a place to go...hmmm.

Smart move by Belpre.

Warren tried to get back in a couple of years ago and couldn't get the votes. I would like to see Warren in the TVC-OHIO. That is the one other school in the area that I think would be a great fit.

[NYBuckeye96]

I'm wondering if River Valley might want to apply again to the TVC OHIO since South Gallia has joined the TVC HOCKING?

Warren would be a good fit to rejoin the TVC. I agree.

There is clearly an opening to add two schools to the Ohio now. Unless, the thought was to ultimately create a third division. Then you would need at least 3 more schools I would think.

[NYBuckeye96]

Belpre is going to dominate the All-Sports Trophy in the TVC HOCKING. You heard it here first.

I just don't think River Vally would get the votes to get in. I don't have any thing against RV, but it just seems like the TVC doesn't want them.


All I know is that like it or not I think a lot of change is coming to the TVC!!!!!

[Orange and Brown]

I am not sure it would be a good fit but does any one think the TVC would extend an invite to Marretta(sp)? I know they are looking at moving out of the SEAOL right now.
Or even GHS.

Marietta is bigger than Athens. I think if Marietta were invited it would be under the scenerio of three divisions - large, medium, and small. I don't think Marietta would be invited to join the TVC Ohio as it exists today.

I would think that if the TVC were to add any schools to the Ohio, they would add 2 schools, not 1.

Belpre moving to the Hocking gets rid of the problem of odd number of teams in the Ohio and the nonleague game late in the year during league games. That was a big headache for Ohio schools trying to find nonleague games in week 7,8,9 and 10.

Of course, this opens the door ever so slightly of going to 3 divisions if you add 4 schools total. 18 teams, 3 divisions of 6 each. Mmmmm, who would you get? What schools in SE Ohio around the Washington, Athens, Jackson county areas that have looked around of late?

South Gallia is in. What is the reason for not bringing in River Valley?

I didn't think so either but I had to ask.
I would like to see Warren and Gallia in the TVC-OHio, but who knows what will happen. It seems like the powers that be keep things close to there vest. I really don't want to see 3 divisions but that may be where we are going.

I am not sure why the TVC doesn't want RV in but it seems like no one is open to adding them. Now as you know things change and can change quickly so we will see what happens. I guess we will just have to sit back and watch what unfolds.

[NYBuckeye96]

I wonder what South Gallia's record is against the Hocking schools? I would think that South Gallia would be in the top half of the division in terms of competition.

Belpre will definately challenge for a league title in most years in the Hocking.

I think the Hocking Division just took a giant step in terms of increasing the competition level within the division, which is what was needed. Whoever wins the new Hocking Division in the future will have had to have defeated at least a few quality teams within the division in any given year.

Belpre and Trimble might just have sealed their fate of becoming each other's biggest league rival.

I agree. I don't think for one minute that things are all finalized. Look at the sheer number of teams in southeast Ohio looking at making moves.

I believe last nights vote was the first step of much bigger changes coming to the TVC. Actually, it was the second step. Voting Athens into the TVC was the first big change of this process. Now that in turn is creating a domino effect.

[MTSWNGRVSG]

Could it produce one to two playoff teams a year?

I think Belpre Trimble would be a great game year in and year out. I think this makes the Hocking super competitive!!!!!!
I know SG plays Southern and Eastern, not sure about the other schools in the Hocking.




Miller and Southern have been celler dwellers most years so I think this puts them in a tough spot. This does mean that you will have 4 or 5 really good teams in any given year. The TVC-Hocking Tittle might not go through Trimble in a couple of years.
