I have seen VC play twice and NY once. Nelsonville was pushed around pretty good by Wellston. VC I believe is better up front and more physical than Wellston. IF Vinton County can take care of the ball, they win 21-7. VC is not flashy . . . they just pound on you and wear you out. They have not done...

Minford fans complaining for years about Coach Daniels running the Wing-T, winning 8 or more games each year, and playoff trips. Hey, you got your spread offense and 5-5 records. Enjoy!!

Don't understand this process at all. If there are no teaching jobs (I think Coach O'Rourke teaches math), why would they waste his time interviewing him? Also, if he interviewed last time and knew he couldn't/wouldn't take the pay cut, why interview again? Makes no sense. Maybe the board at VC is j...

I would like to ask this question for all those that say Coach O'Rourke has applied AGAIN and has an interview. But first let me say this, I hope he does come back. He is a very good coach and will probably get VC winning again. Here is the question . . . why interview him? I mean, you don't have AN...

Bethel I can see . . . Jack O'Rourke has to be fairly close to retirement. That would be around 30 years teaching. Vinton County will/can probably pay him for 10 years experience. It makes a lot sense for him to come back to VC and take a 30 to 40 percent pay cut. Don't believe it for a minute.

AMEN Fonzie . . . been out of coaching for a while. Got out at the right time . . . kids HAVEN'T changed . . . parents are rapidly ruining sports in our country. Many of the posts on here reflect that. Good luck to whomever takes this job, the Wellston job, and the Vinton County job. They are in for...

Not from Nelsonville, but knew Coach Boston Sr personally. I saw both play and the 2017 NY team would get physically destroyed playing the '81 team. Also, the '82 team that lost in the regional finals, at I believe Lancaster, would have beaten the 2017 team. I understand different styles of play, bu...

I have heard that happened hsfbfan . . . However, school boards change and administration changes. Correct me if wrong, but didn't that happen 8 - 9 years ago. Poo Bear, I am talking about Pro/Con between Wellston and Coal Grove. Seems like every time any names are mentioned about this job the repli...

From someone that doesn't have a horse in this race . . . since most of this speculation revolves around a person that we must not be able to mention by name . . . PROS: CG . . . much better facilities, much better tradition, administration cares about athletics and winning, hometown. CONS: CG . . ....

I can't help but think you are a little frustrated there Dundas. If I am not mistaken, the school board can/could call a special meeting anytime to vote on contracts. At least I would hope they could. You don't want to wait until May to get your coach named. At least it sounds like this guy has some...

So, if I am to understand this correctly . . . Vinton County had a pretty solid group of coaches apply for the job. However, the people in control decided to give and/or offer the job to the track coach? What kind of experience does this coach have? Also, he hasn't coached for quite a few years? Thi...

Come on Dundas and give us something here. I'll bet you know something buddy.

Can anyone give me a reason why the SCOL would take Logan or Jackson? A lot of people are having fun coming up with these crazy league scenerios. I don't think the SCOL will take either Jackson or Logan. They have no reason to do so. A lot of teams don't get admitted to leagues when they apply. Once...

I have posted this every time this has come up. I am pretty good friends with an AD from a TVC Ohio school. He told me back when this was first proposed (which time!) that Jackson would get 1-2 votes at the most. I saw him at a basketball game at the Convo last week, and he told me the same thing ag...

Dundas, you commented earlier that Vinton County does have teaching jobs open. I pose this question to you . . . do you think they will hire for the teaching job or try and hire the best coach that applies? I am just looking for your opinion. You seem to have a pretty good feel for what the situatio...

Vinton County could be a good job for the right guy and if he gets the support. I know Coach O'rourke personally. He did a great job with the Vikings. I am really glad this thread hasn't gotten nasty. Sometimes that happens when a coach leaves or is asked to leave. Most coaches work so hard and are ...

I can tell you that the TVC is out. I have a good friend that is a TVC Ohio AD. He said Jackson tried to get in the league a few years ago (pre TVC/SEOAL merger crazy talk) and they didn't get any consideration. He has told me the AD's, the principals, and most importantly, the superintendents like ...

I will say it again to some posters dislike . . . I have a personal friend that is a TVC Ohio AD. He told me when all this SEOAL to combine with the TVC thing was going around, that it won't happen and it won't be a close vote. It wasn't. Jackson will not be voted in the TVC. He told me that the AD'...

Saw this game in person. Danville is pretty good. Physical team, very good at fundamentals. They are a threat is this region if a team doesn't come ready to play. They physically dominated Symmes Valley.

Because ANYTHING can happen in this game Dundas. Had VC fumbled the ball and Wellston ran it back . . . heartache in VC. Something similar happened in Utah last Friday. There is video on Football Scoop of a team losing with 3.2 seconds left. A team in Northwest, Ohio lost early in the season by not ...
