Division 5 Region 19 in 2010

[JChipwood]

From the outside, Burg is ALOT better than at least 3 teams on most of the lists, Caldwell, CG, and NY but may not get in because they have lost 2 two good teams and have played some tough games. Even if they lose to Valley and beat west they are still 2-3 scores better than Caldwell, NY, or CG. Some of those teams have played bigger schools that are not great, beaten them and recieved alot of points for it. NY is the exception, they have, up to TVC play, played a good schedule. The TVC is not very good though as a whole and even at the top this year they aren't great. I still think NY is the class of that league. Athens, Meigs, and Welston are not very good football teams. Alex looks descent and NY is always well coached and is a true program type team. Burg would be, in theory, the 3 or 4 in that region only by default because they got beat by OH early on but would beat them now. They may get Valley this week and if they get in the playoffs, would not suprise me if they played for the regional title. I would like to see them and CG at 4-5, that would be exciting for the area.

Plus whether you agree with it or not, the SOC II teams are in the playoffs right now. I've always believed the regular season is round 1 of the playoffs. I know it doesn't mean the same as actually making it to week 11. If Minford loses to Valley then Caldwell didn't keep them out of the playoffs Valley did. Same with Nelsonville. For most of these teams if they win they're in. That simple. Caldwell can't say that even at 9-1. I'd rather be in Minford's place not Caldwell's.

^ I agree with you on that, It's called, "controlling your own destiny."

Valley can't afford two losses but Wheelersburg, Ridgewood, and Nelsonville can't afford one more.

[I drain 3's]

Poor Caldwell. They create so much controversy in Region 19. lol. Caldwell is a better team than they were last year and the first half of this season. They're throwing the ball around 40 times a game and making themselves a more balanced team. I'm not going so far as to say they can win a playoff game because I think Monroe Central is better and I don't think they can win one either, but if Caldwell gets in they deserve it.

lol. Seems like a lot of people were mad at the fact that Caldwell made it to the playoffs last year over "more deserving" teams, according to them. And now, they have the opportunity to do it again. Will they win if they make it in? Doubt it. But they've done just as much as those other teams. All they can do is compete against the teams put in front of them. Don't want left out of the playoffs? Don't lose! lol

i highly doubt burg would beat oh now they are better than they were but burg wouldnt get as lucky on special teams it would be a good game again but i doubt they would come out on top...oak hill is still around 90 percent back not 100 percent they are alot better than the way they have been playing

[fuzzhead]

Totally agree with JChipwood. Burg just might be the most dangerous team in the region. They were a fumble away from the regional final last year. If they beat Valley this week, especially if it's by a few scores: LOOK OUT Region 19! They aren't scared of anyone. If they get the 5 or 6 seed, they won't be playing any farther than an hour away from home. And that goes for Oak Hill, CG, Minford, and Valley too.

[JChipwood]

IDK deathclutch, from the scores against teams that OH has been playing, I think they may have peaked too early in the year and will struggle in rd 2 again this year. jmho We shall see but I sure hope Burg gets in to the post season. Coach W is a good coach and like fuzz said, they almost won the regional semis last year and seem to be playing better each week. This week will tell alot because OH has a matchup that any top 5 worthy team in reg 19 would win by 3 tds or more while saving themselves for week 10.

New Richmond isn't a push over they can play with any team in this region oak hill hasn't been real healthy this last couple of weeks but having said that they are almost back 2 100 percent but I still think they are capable of playing better I agree burg is getting better each week but I ti still think oak hill pull away with a victory I would like to see minford get in as well cuz I don't think they would beat a healthy oak hill team either

Not causing a fight, but if Monroe Central's QB doesn't get hurt in the 3rd quarter, Wheelersburg may not have made it out of round 1 last year. Neither defense showed signs of being able to stop the other at all, and it was looking like whomever had the ball last was going to win. Then when our QB got hurt and couldn't run after that Wheelersburg all but had it wrapped up.

[fuzzhead]

It was a shootout for sure. It sounds like whoever draws MC this year will have their work cut out for them, too. Burg has had a nasty habit of losing heartbreakers in the playoffs recently. Fredericktown last year, Liberty Union in 08, and Fredericktown before that if I'm not mistaken.

[JChipwood]

If Minford doe and Brug doesn't it would be a tragedy! New Richmond is okay but they aren't very athletic and most certainly could not play with the top five in reg 19, at least not the real top five teams in that region.

Ok who's ur top 5 teams of the region

[NY BUCKS]

IF NY GETS IN LOOK OUT!!!!

[coop]

Last time Valley got into the playoffs in this region, they finished 4 points shy of a final 4 berth......this is another team that isnt scared of anyone.

[JChipwood]

IDK, next 2 weeks will tell alot but 1-5 imo would be Freddies, Ridgewood, Burg, Valley, and MC not in that order. Valley has a tough stretch with those last 3 games and could go from 1 to 7 or 8 but just based on the way they are playing right now that's how I see it. 6-8 would be OH, NY, and CG but really the difference in 6 and 3 or 7 and 2 may not be that great setting up for a good regional. Saddly the teams will be all jumbled and really good teams may be 4/5 while an okay team is 3 based on points creating a loss in rd one for a good team.

[mother_nature]

Oak Hill is a top 4 team in this region. They are probably the favorites in my opinion. They played Ridgewood well last season, well enough to have won the game, just didnt make a few plays when they needed to. The Oaks bring almost every key player off of that team back. They were by far the best team Ridgewood played last season with the obvious exception of Ursuline.

They handled Wheelersburg early in the season and do not tell me the Burg was struggling early, they almost beat Ironton in week 1 for petes sake. Although Minford beat the Oaks, and give credit to Minford for that, none the less the Oaks were without their all state QB. Take a key player off of any team in Region 19 and they are far less effective. The top 4 in my opinion would be:

1. Oak Hill
2. Burg
3. Fredericktown
4. Valley

Im not sure Monroe Central could beat anyone in the top 10 with the exception of Caldwell.

It's actually a lot more fun to watch things wind down with this Region's outlook being clear as mud with two weeks to go 8)

Burg plays Ironton every year, u know how to defend it even after losing 70% of ur defense. Oak Hill was another monster.

[hornet8088]

i think burg is the top team in region now. i would like to see them play oak hill again would be a great game.

[n2sports]

I am not sure who my pick would be for the top team in this region because there are so many games in the next 2 weeks that have a major impact on the regions outcome and that is what is making this year worth watching. All of the teams that make it in the playoffs deserve to be there and have worked hard to make it....so bashing the teams that you feel is inferior to yours wont get your team in the playoffs I am for the grove, who is a huge "underdog" in this fight, and I think they are gonna surprise a few teams when playoffs start rolling. So stop whining about your teams points and just get behind your team for support and see if you can contribute to helping them win GO HORNETS!!!!

anyone crunching the numbers tonight. It will be interesting
