Morgan joining the Twin State League? Other expansion?

[IVCHAWKS]

I really think Tri-Valley and probably Sheridan has out grown the mvl, there probably a better fit in the big school division of the LCL

John Glenn is bigger than Sheridan in terms of CB#. As long as TV has control of the MVL they're not going anywhere. They fit geographically and school size with the LCL better but them and Sheridan has a hold on the MVL so it probably won't change until the smaller schools branch off on their own.

A number of the LCL schools are going to “outgrow” the LCL. Tri valley is fine where they are. Look for some LCL teams to defect to the MVL when some of the other schools grow to D2 & D1.

We all know football is king in most leagues.

Tri-Valley in 2024 has a load of senior talent and lots of depth at most positions. They have a good shot at winning the region.

BUT............ in 2025 and for the foreseeable future Tri-Valley will come back to the pack in the MVL. Quality coaching will likely still mean a winning record and a couple games in the playoffs, but undefeated in the MVL is just not likely.

I heard that the last TSL meeting was held at Waterford and some more schools were there. Wonder if the minutes from the meeting will be able to be seen. TSL seems to be very aggressive with expansion.

Not sure about that but there is a meeting at 11 am on Wed at Western Sizzlin

I probably got caught in the rumor mill or I miss heard.

Any updates from today's meeting?

Rumors of mass expansion is what I’m hearing. Attempted expansion I should say.

Yup but will they get enough schools to have a small school div? I’ll tell you this TVC schools are thinking about it.

Waterford and belpre would be a great pick up but you’ll need a few more to jump. The TVC is in a weak position now because you have the tsl to the east and the soc to the west that could poach if they expand.

Sounds like TVC schools are legitimately interested but are just waiting for first team to jump.

Athens may be the first to make a move. I still think a smaller school would have to jump also for the rest to go along. I also heard Meigs was contacted. That would bridge the gap from the norther schools to Point Pleasant.

[EasternDspy]

Ravenswood and Williamstown move up to AA they’ll out grow the LKC.

[Dundas]

The TVC was created because the SEOAL wouldn’t add Warren and VC. They teamed up with Beplre and Fed Hock and started the Tri Valley Conference. Over a lot of years, the TVC poached the SEOAL and ultimately led to their demise. The TSL was created by Fort, Warren and Marietta who the TVC would not let in. Plus Point. Could the TSL do to the TVC what the TVC did to the Seoal?

[EasternDspy]

Kick out Wellston and River Valley and just merge TVC and TSL

[EasternDspy]

There is plenty of TVC teams that voted yes on Fort and Warren. The teams that voted no on Fort Frye was River Valley , Wellston , South Gallia , and Vinton. They should have just voted yes they wouldn’t have this problem now. Fort missed by 1 vote. Why did South Gallia even get a vote?

Easier said than done, but I like this. Getting Williamstown would be the cherry on top.

This is what I had heard. They had a meeting with schools about expansion. I assumed that was their regular league meeting but it wasn't.
I heard it was TVC schools and some MVL schools.

Absorbing the majority of the TVC, particularly Hocking seems like a good path. I keep hearing the MVL has some issues with the smaller schools.

Would be a good start of a small school division

And like others said some of the Ohio teams in the bigger school. I have no dog in this fight I just like conference realignment stuff and looking at school districts and dynamics of conferences.

Agreed that those schools would be a solid small school division. Could see Nelsonville and FF playing up in the big school division for football if something like this were to happen - much like the TVC Ohio now.
