I re-aligned every conference in Southeastern Ohio.....

[LeftHanded]

There is always talk about conference realignment on here, so I figured I would go crazy and re-align every single conference.

Using basketball divisions and teams from the SEOPS website (71 teams), I re-aligned each conference with the following rules:

Rules
MAX of EIGHT Teams per Conference
MINIMUM of SIX per Conference
No more than ONE county between them AND/OR Travel UNDER an hour and ten minutes
No more than ONE division in between schools (Example: No D2 teams in same conference as D4)

Here is what I came up with. Had to make a couple exceptions, but I think I stuck with the guidelines about 95% of the time!

Had some fun with this! Pick at it all you want!

As member of the South Webster athletics delegation, we respectfully decline this offer. Unless it’s soccer. Which I think we won 10 or 12 championships in a row in SOC 1

Conference 2 can’t happen because Wellston refuses to play Jackson in football and basketball and Jackson said screw em and not playing in any sport at all.

No regardless. Needs to be stronger

[BBALL99]

Some of those make way to much sense to ever happen.

Right! Trying to find a conference for Marietta (seems to be over an hour from every school, but Warren!) took away all of those Athens County schools and led to Wellston being stuck in this conference! Haha

In the new JBL Joe Burrow League, Jackson can’t recruit Wellston kids. We will be building a wall and trespassing Andy Hall from the city of Wellston.

And kids of OU coaches are ineligible

Don’t think we had a Wellston kid on the team

[Raider6309]

Good since our QB is a Hocking Coaches kid

[vcgrad]

How about Vinton County or River Valley or Gallia County schools? If not Wellston this year...

[AnkleBraces]

This is so logical that it would never happen

[danicalifornia]

Conference 4 would be great until Chillicothe decided to try and get some teams from Conference 3

[Ironman92]

Is Valley dropping football?

And kids of OU coaches are ineligible

And the QB camp at Jackson will be shut down

I actually agree. First league thread that kind of makes sense

And the QB camp at Jackson will be shut down

And we’ll still beat Athens
