Be the best league in the area. Could you imagine having Warren, Athens, VC, Meigs, and Alexander playing each other?
I would assume that maybe things haven’t been finalized yet.Keyser_sozeThrice wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2019 3:08 am Anybody else curious as to why this has NOT been reported, to the best of my knowledge, in ANY Ohio Valley Publishing publications?
The TVC doesn't put out press releases and they rarely get coverage of league meetings unless the media knows something is happening in advance. You can't rail on a paper or multiple papers for not breaking a story that in reality isn't that huge, when they don't know anything in advance.Keyser_sozeThrice wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2019 9:16 pm Things may not be finalized for this yet, but OVP should say SOMETHING about it already, and THEN go into full detail once those details are finalized.
To say NOTHING is not a good look when it comes to reporting a MAJOR story like this involving a school in your immediate coverage area.

I wasn't exactly sure - and don't even really care - who covers them. I wasn't taking a shot at them or anyone else. I was just saying I think our guys here in Athens would be all over such a story or topic. In fact, they were when Athens left the SEOAL. I definitely apologize to this OVP company or paper or whatever it is - my intention was not to offend them.Keyser_sozeThrice wrote: ↑Sun Apr 07, 2019 12:12 pm The Point Pleasant Register is actually the primary paper for Wahama….but it's the same OVP network.
Wahama was in the LKC some 45 years ago but even then schedules differed in each sport and they were hit and miss. It seems like it is better aligned nowadays and enough consolidation has been done over the years in WV that it should work better now. When I played back in those days we usually played Pkg. Catholic, Wirt County , Spencer (now Roane county), Williamstown, Duval (now Lincoln county), Ravenswood, Federal Hocking, Southern, Kyger Creek (part of River Valley now) and Buffalo was and is to this day the last game of the regular season. There were a couple years we played Calhoun county and Winfield back then but it didn't differ much. Since Wahama graduated 126 kids when I was in school and they graduate around 40 a year now, it's probably a good move for them along with far better highways and exits now. I know a lot of people in the TVC didn't want Wahama in the league anyway but we've done pretty well especially on the baseball and football side of the conference the last 10 years or so with a WV state football and 2 state baseball championships so I guess we'll have to let that be our legacy and go back across the river with our tails between our legs like a whipped pup I guess. We weren't worthy.
Point Pleasant register, Gallipolis Tribune and Pomeroy daily sentinel are all Ohio Valley publishing and have same writeup, especially on the weekend sports. I don't think they can get enough sportswriters to cover the tri-county area (Meigs, Gallia, Mason) anymore as they are always asking for help the last few years. Even though Point Pleasant is the Mason County seat, it's 15 miles from Mason and from Wahama high school it's only a mile to the Pomeroy sentinel office.Keyser_sozeThrice wrote: ↑Sun Apr 07, 2019 12:12 pm The Point Pleasant Register is actually the primary paper for Wahama….but it's the same OVP network.
I agree with 93Bulldog...a school switching leagues is BIG news needed reported on. Something is better than nothing, and "silence is golden" - or at least that's what a certain individual once told me.
With no Hocking teams to play non conference games against weeks 4 thru 10 … Gonna be tough finding non conference games for some Ohio teams.
