Dear lord. How about some trivia for normal people.

[NYBuckeye96]

Dear lord. How about some trivia for normal people.

Hmmm........what kind of questions would those be??????

I think these are good questions I'm asking.

Should I ask "What are the team colors of the Buckeyes?"

If people won't learn anything from the trivia, why bother asking the questions in the first place?

[boilermaker]

#5 . One, In Div-4
#14 . Ironton & Wheelersburg.
#12 . Div -4 & 5
#4 . Coal Grove?

[NYBuckeye96]

I have bolded the original questions that remain to be answered.

[mister b]

#2. 7-11 is their record.

#3. 12 times. 1981, 1982, 1992, 1994, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008

#10. Here is what I have so far... 2003 @ Woodsfield L 9-7, 2004 @ Amanda-Clearcreek L 43-6, 2005 @ East Know L 35-28, 2006 Home vs Columbus Academy L 55-21, 2008 Home vs Liberty-Union L 15-14.

#11. Here is what I have so far... 1981 - #2, 1982 - #2, 2003 - #5, 2004 - #8, 2005 - #7, 2006 - #3, 2008 - #3.

That is all I have for now. Since the dew is gone, I need to get into the hayfield. Maybe I can dig so more on the internet tonight and come up with some more...but the early years are hard to find! I guessed on 1981 and 1982 since only 2 teams in each region made it to the playoffs in those years and you had to be 10-0 then just to get in and our region included powerhouse Columbus teams that could rack up the points when they were 10-0!

#2 is correct. NY is 7-11 all-time in the 18 playoff games they have played.

#3 is now totally correct. 1992 and 2003 were the two missing years, bringing the final tally of years NY has made the playoffs to 12 times. 1981, 1982, 1992, 1994, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2008.

#10 is partially correct - all of the information you provided is right - still missing the info. from the following years - 1981, 1982, 1992, 1994, 1997, 1998, and 2000.

2003 - Division 5, Region 19 Quarterfinals @ Monroe Central High School (Woodsfield)

Monroe Central 9 Nelsonville-York 7

2004 - Division 5, Region 19 Quarterfinals @ Amanda-Clearcreek High School (Amanda)

Columbus Academy 55 Nelsonville-York 21

2008 - Division 5, Region 19 Quarterfinals @ Nelsonville-York High School (Nelsonville)

Liberty Union 15 Nelsonville-York 14


#11 - every year you list is right except 1982. Since only 2 teams qualified back in '82, I'll give the answer here by default - NY was the #1 seed.

1981 - Division 4, Region 15 - #2 out of 36 teams with 78.7778 total points. Coal Grove was the top seed with 80.4722 points. Only the top two schools qualified at the time and there were only 5 divisions back then. Had the playoffs expanded to include 4 or 8 teams at that time, the year of NY's state championship would have seen this breakdown in the region:

1. Coal Grove 80.4722
2. Nelsonville-York 78.7778
3. Toronto 75.9507
4. Cadiz 69.3889
5. Johnstown-Monroe 56.5000
6. Fredericktown 54.2500
7. Byesville Meadowbrook 49.1250
8. Hanoverton United 41.5278

1982 - Division 4, Region 15 - #1 out of 37 teams with 99.5000 points. Crooksville was the second seed with 88.7500 points and only the top two seeds qualified for the playoffs in only five divisions that year. Had the playoffs expanded to include 4 or 8 teams at that time, the year of NY's other regional championship would have seen this breakdown in the region:

1. Nelsonville-York 99.5000
2. Crooksville 88.7500
3. Coal Grove 61.8703
4. Cadiz 61.2917
5. Fairfield Union 58.0000
6. Trimble 53.8750

1997 beat Wheelersburg in Lancaster then lost to Bellaire 39-6 in Regional Finals! We were the #1 seed and lost to the #2 seed Bellaire in Zanesville who had beat Piketon in a close game the week before!

In 1998 even though it was a home game didn't they play Lucasville Valley in Athens?

I think the location against Coshocton in '94 was Zanesville and the loss to Wheelersburg was Portsmouth spartan stadium or Ironton I believe

You may very well be right. While I can find scores from the 1990's, the sites are difficult to sometimes find.
