I don't see any of the current D3 and D4 teams moving around. After seeing how the tournaments played out, I think the expansion was too much. I think four divisions, with only D1 being a low-number division would be better. That, or make D5 a small division too so D3 and D4 are larger. There should...

Soccer without stands is very normal. Any experienced soccer parent has a collection of camp chairs and pop-up canopies. Even when you visit mature HS soccer programs with dedicated game fields (Warren, Marietta, Unioto, Gallia) you'll find plenty of spectators brining their own chairs and leaving e...

How many area soccer/football fields are under water with the flooding and rains??? I have pictures of several area fields with water standing on them with all the holes and creeks nearby. As long as it doesn't happen in-season, annual flooding can be healthy for natural grass fields that are using...

How in the world do you come up with 40-50 HS and Jr High basketball teams in Washington County? Some math: Warren typically has as many as 10 or 11 : Boys Varsity, Boys JV, Boys Freshmen, Girls Varsity, Girls JV, Boys 8th Grade (x2), Boys 7th Grade (x2), Girls 8th Grade, Girls 7th Grade Marietta n...

Thats right . Let EVERYONE practice and play on it. That way it wont be nice anymore. On grass fields, you have a solid point — on artificial turf? not so much. There are artificial turf facilities like Shawnee in Charleston that host dozens of soccer, lacrosse and football games every week for 9 m...

Networking at its finest.... Equal and level playing opportunities for football and soccer are coming to a school near you in 2025. That's not what Title IX protects, but I'll quit trying to convince you otherwise—good luck in your lawsuit Beyond that, soccer and football do not require the same fa...

All K-12 programs must have equal opportunities and benefits of every other team in the district. This is not correct. "[Title IX] ...prohibits schools that receive Federal funding from discriminating based on sex in their programs or activities." That means boys and girls need equal oppo...

The simple answer is that more of the administrators, school boards, students and community members care more about the football programs than they do about the soccer programs. I'm not sure that we can use Title IX to guarantee all athletic programs get equal support— just that they get enough supp...

I don't think the athletic directors should get hit with a fine, they can't help that they have a few fans who are jackasses. Every team has at least one or two. If you really want it to stop just have the deputy sheriffs across the state step up and start charging them with disorderly conduct a mi...

Forfeits for poor spectator behavior isn't practical in the moment. Like Larry Fine is getting at, how does the referee know 100% which team the problem spectator is on? Even more of an issue, in my mind, is that it raises the bar of tolerance before a referee would decide to stop a game for poor be...

There was just an incident in Piketon over the last few days where a dad was big mad at a referee of a Junior High game for an ejection and put the official's full name on blast on Facebook. The popular " Offside " page caught wind of it and it looks like their 100k+ followers *encouraged...

That's great. Where will they practice and play home games?

The McCarthur Center at Rio Grande has an upcoming OHSAA baseball+softball officiating course that’ll take place on Saturday mornings

I understand that sometimes hands are tied based on conferences, but blowouts like 100 to 8 (!!) are a scheduling failure by the athletic directors. Those teams don't need to play each other

It would likely help to have an Athletic Director, Principal and Superintendant. Who would even interview coach candidates right now?

Maybe the secret plan will be revealed in tonight's board meeting.

I'm 100% ok with the winning team subbing in their JV players and letting them press if that is the main defense for their team, no place better to learn that actual game. Several reasons a team my still press when up 20 and the other team throws in the towel but personally I would not. Again, the ...

Here’s my take of why I bring up first amendment, we have had authoritarianism take over when United States Presidents who have signed laws preventing direct criticism of officials. Guess that’s the history buff in me 😂 The freedoms protected in the first amendment guard you from governmental restr...
