the schools wont hate each other...its the ones in charge that dont want to lose to the other...
they should play in all sports...
Think about what you said..biggest crowd..lots of fun and a big gate...more reasons to play it
make a trophy and call it the wal mart trophy so the winner can have bragging rights at wally world til next year

The TVC Ohio might be slightly better travel-wise, but no
better for competition's sake.

SOVC 1 ---------------------SOVC2-----------------SOVC3
Symmes Valley------------Oak---------------------Waverly
Notre Dame----------------Valley--------------------West
Green----------------------Coal Grove--------------Ironton
East------------------------Wheelersburg---------Portsmouth
Northwest-------------------Minford---------------South Point
Chesapeake ---------------Rock Hill----------------Fairland

Under this format, SOVC1 would be a two possibly three team race each year, SOVC2 would be wide open every year, and SOVC3 would be between Ironton, West, and Portsmouth, forever has the better team that year, of course under this format the "little brown jug" would be a non-conf game for the Grove and Peake.

I almost choked when I read a previous post on this thread that River Valley is to far for the OVC to travel. Forgive South Gallia fans for getting a chuckle since SG's closest conference games are Southern, Eastern and Wahama which are approximately 40-45 miles one direction. Then there are 2 conference games that are over 80 miles in one direction (Miller and Waterford) and 3 more that are over 65 miles one way (Fed Hock, Trimble, Belpre). As for RV going to the TVC I personally think it would be a great move for the Raiders. The rivals are more natural than playing all Lawrence county schools. RV however will go to the Ohio Division from what I heard because they are too large of a school to playing in the Hocking. I wish RV all the luck in the world and truly hope they get the program turned around. GO RAIDERS!!! Battle hard!

Grove wins by a bunch.

Is the rumor I'm hearing true about next year being RVs last in the OVC?

It is not decided yet, but look for answers after October 16.

What happens October 16?

The ones in charge? Who is that?

Where is Blue n gray's weekly rant? Maybe he will just wait until after the game.

I am a dummy. The date I meant was actually today. The TVC had their meeting. I have not officially heard, but sounds like we are in in two years.

Coal Grove wins by 45

Grove scores early and often, over early, end of the first or 2 series into the second.

[2trap_4ever]

The Grove needs to come out strong and put get this game over early, start resting starters for what should be the toughest two conference games and possibly playoffs.

Trust me, I have been waitin for the OVC, SOC merger with Ironton and Portsmouth in the mix.

Portsmouth might be in the mix,but not Ironton they will never get in a league filled with division 4 & 5 teams,the lose too many playoff points.
Why would they join any league when they can beat Div 2 & 3 teams go .500 and make the playoffs?
Wish on!

I myself like seeing RV play in the OVC the competition is great,but they still feel like outsiders, The TVC makes more sense at least RV will have a home game 15-20 miles away almost every game in the league is closer than Fairland, who is the closest now.

Thanks to the OVC for having our kids for the past 8 yrs. Good luck in the future.

[fuzzhead]

I like RV in the OVC, too. In other sports, they are very competitive. I wish we could get Oak Hill back in the conference.

[bobcat fan]

[Who9Dey]

I like hill but thanks for answering bob
