Final: Waverly 30 Athens 27

[Raider6309]

We travel well in everything but the Convo for basketball. Its not a big deal for Athens since its in Athens

[Baller156]

Expecting to see lot of production from new faces on waverly offense and defense

A little off the subject but I have some questions for the Athens faithful. A few years ago I watched the Athens basketball team play a district game at the Convo. Your teams record was outstanding and Joe Burrow was on the team. Very few Athens fan showed up for the game. Why such little support? Was it just a matter of not supporting "basketball"? I've always been curious.

Did Athens have strong fan support when they went on their epic playoff run in football? (all the way to the championship game)

What can we expect in terms of fan support for the Bulldogs when they come to Waverly on August 30th?

It can be hit or miss with Athens. Sometimes they travel really well and other times not so much.
I would imagine this game would draw a pretty decent crowd from the Athens fans.

I doubt it with the game being played in Waverly

The last time Athens came to Waverly to play a football game was 2011. Athens won 42-21. Waverly went 3-7 that season and Athens went 10-1.

If I remember correctly (not positive ) Athens brought a pretty nice size crowd. By most indications this should be a close competitive game this time around. And it's always more exciting an enjoyable when the visiting team brings a bunch of fans.

I know this is a bit too early to put big game implications in this but what other big games out of conference games does Athens have?

D4 or D5 Waverly?
D2 Parkersburg South
D2 Logan
D3 Jackson

Waverly D4, what’s the outlook on Logan this season as well? Jackson should be good as well I’m assuming and don’t know much about Parkersburg South. Just was curious to when it comes close to playoff time who’s beaten who and has a lot of points

I don't think size matters much. In the past I remember Athens defeating Waverly, but I also remember Waverly taking it to Athens. Should be a good game no matter and there will be good points for the winner.

Definitely looking forward to this game should be a dandy

I'm not understanding how people think Jackson will be a give-me for Athens.
Where is the evidence for that?

Agreed. Lol

Jackson has NEVER, and I mean NEVER, been a gimme.
In fact, Jackson has been the favorite more often than not.

Yea, plus Jackson is still sore at Athens for leaving the SEOAL. So, there's that too as a motivator for Jackson.

Or, just think if Athens beats not only Jackson but Logan as well that will about stop all the cut-n-run/SEOAL jawing for this year - which would not be a bad thing

Just for the record more likely the opposite happens.

We can only hope Don.

We need to beef it up more . Jackson and Logan are not much anymore. We’ll see about waverly. Not sold on them either

Where are you getting that Jackson “is not much anymore”? Some of your post on this board are just plain silly.

Larry Fine is an Athens hater that pretends to like Athens by making posts that will piss off other non Athens fans.

If any Athens fans, or any fans for that matter, are considering coming to the game and have concerns or questions about parking I can provide some information. Waverly has 525 paved, lined parking spots. The longest walk to the front gate from any of those spots is under two minutes. There are additional parking spots around the lot that are not lined. We also have a grass field that provides another 200 or so parking spots and is not much farther from the front gate. It probably doesn't get much better than that for parking for high school football in southern Ohio.

One tip. Traffic does sometimes get backed up when coming off of US23 and entering the lot from the south end. If you're coming on 23 from the south go on down to the road that cuts through where Bob Evans is located and enter the lot from the north end. (where the basketball gym is located) Might save you a few minutes. As of last year it cost $2 to park on the paved lot.

Looks like decent numbers in the weight room from a few weeks ago

Getting Waverly early is good for Athens. P. Wolf may not be ready to go which will hurt the Tigers big time. Hope the young man heals quickly, but more importantly heals totally...
Looking forward to seeing the Tigers working out soon, check out the numbers.

Athens by 10

Idk if we are the favorite. We replace our line and a back to back 2,000 yard passer.

[Kicker.]

I think this will be a very competitive game looking forward to it, both teams replacing a lot of important pieces
