A 3rd big school division of the TVC can't exist without Athens, and we all know they will never again agree to be placed in a division with schools their size. Something like below would be ideal for Logan and the MSL: MSL Canal Winchester Hamilton Township Teays Valley Logan Bloom-Carroll Chillico...

Change the name to the Quad Valley Conference (QVC)

The plus to this move would mean that GA would have to wrestle against RV. I know this is mostly football but the RV vs GA rivalry would make a lot of people in Gallia County excited. I personally don’t see it happening at this point. I think GA would see it as a step down to be in the TVC. The TVC...

My question is Athens. What do they do if Oak Hill is admitted to the TVC. Athens is already playing the weakest schedule of any division 3 school in the state. Now you are talking about adding another division 6 school in Oak Hill with subpar athletic programs to the schedule. My question is if yo...

Stay in the TVC. Gallia also plays a terrible schedule in D4. It’s just part of being in SEO. Really? You are comparing Gallia's schedule to Athens? The school that purposely blew up the SEOAL so they could play in a league with schools 2 and 3 divisions smaller than them. The OVC is the best area ...

When Athens left the seoal, the conference consisted of.. Jackson Logan Zanesville Warren Marietta Chillicothe Portsmouth Ironton Gallia Academy Not sure how Athens leaving that group blew it up.. Don't want to blow up your thread and happy to discuss via PM or another thread.... but.... Athens was...

I have no idea why the SOC and OVC refuse to compromise on a blended football only conference . There is a solution to this competitive balance issue, but it's like the powers that be won't take yes for an answer. Times change and so do traditions. Southeast Ohio needs to get with the times. SOVC Ir...

Only on this site.

Gallia needs to stay put in the OVC. The league that accepted them when the SEOAL was folding. The one and only benefit to joining the TVC would be the ever so slightly shorter travel distances. The OVC has the edge in basically every other category. Most notably, the superior competition. If Gallia...

Burrow is an anomaly and a special situation. Athens and southeastern Ohio in general will probably never see an athlete like him again.

Don't care one way or the other but using the better league prepares them for the grind of the playoffs is WAY over used. Only a few teams in our area could say or need that and Gallia definitely isn't one of them. So you are saying Gallia shouldn't aspire? If league titles are the only goal, then ...

I've said for years that the TVC would be a better fit for GA than playing in a Lawrence county league which has your shortest travel time at a little less than an hour by bus. Meanwhile, TVC-Ohio would have a 15 minute trip to RV, 30-40 minutes to Meigs, VC, and Wellston, an hour or so to Athens, ...

Gallia to the TVC? Meigs, Wellston, VC, NY would all be big gates for Gallia. That'd probably be much better than the OVC.

If you could get Jackson and Piketon on board, I think combining the SOC and OVC for all sports could work. Jackson Waverly Gallia Academy Ironton Portsmouth Wheelersburg Portsmouth West Minford Valley Fairland South Point Chesapeake Oak Hill Northwest Piketon Rock Hill Dawson-Bryant South Webster E...

Not all of us Grovers want Iro ton out, but at the same time how do we balance the playing field? The only option is expansion but who do we get? I would like to see two big schools come in. I would like to invite Jackson but what "big" school is close enough to the OVC that would fill th...

Replace Symmes Valley with River Valley and you got a winner. Not sure either them or Oak Hill would be interested in a setup like this though. Symmes Valley is too small for the OVC.

I liked when the OHSAA expanded to 7 divisions. I felt like it created more balance and parity between the big schools and the small schools. However, expanding to 16 teams per region was a bad move. Sure, there are going to be a few upsets here and there. It happens at all levels in all sports. 8 t...

My guess is South Point and Fairland wouldn’t be thrilled with that scenario. I wouldn't be so sure just yet. Most of the merger talk seemed to be more about getting away from Ironton and both of these schools voted against it. I think aggressively trying to add Oak Hill and River Valley to split t...
