Does Gallipolis have a game between Wednesday and the Sectional tourney next Monday?

Someone said a doubleheader with a couple north teams may be played at Gallipolis Saturday, but that's not confirmed.

Gallia Academy travels to Chillicothe this Saturday to compete in a three-way with Lucasville Valley and Zane Trace. Should be a nice day of baseball.

Not sure of the times or who is playing who at this point.

The JV Devils do host the Wellston Golden Rockets at Memorial Field this Thursday in their last game of the season.

The Varisty game was cancelled due to Wellston having to make a TVC league game up with Nelsonville York.

Thanks for that info.

I'd like to get Gallia's JV season record (scores of each game) for SEOPS.
