im going with belpre
nelsonville is overrated

SOMEONE TOUCH A NERVE IN MARIETTA THE BUCKS IN A TIGHT ONE.

I think the core of the defense is fine. not very many teams can run up the gut on the eagles. Its when they bounce it outside. Our outside linebackers are scared it looks like. Watkins and Packard do work in the middle.

you must not go to much belpre games look at last years team and now look at it

[Hugh Jase]

Even if Belpre's offense and defense plays their best game, they will lose because of their poor punt and kickoff coverage, thus losing the battle of field position. We punt the ball 50 yds and the opposition returns it 45 because the coverage jogs to the ball. Unless Curtis kicks the ball in the end zone, or out of bounds the same thing happens on kickoffs. Our coaches are using kickoffs to get fresnmen quarters, while some of our best tacklers watch from the sidelines. In 5 games these nonstarters have 0 tackles, it's time for our coaches to wake up and get our hitters in the lineup. Our coaches say they need to rest them, well they didn't rest them last season and they seemed to do pretty well.

Wouldn't be because these freshman are coaches sons or sons of coaches friends would it??

I guess there is some short memories in Belpre. Great job last year coach in getting a tvc championship and being the only team to beat NY in the last 5 years in our league. We enjoyed making the playoffs, Great job in taking a 2-8 team from 2006 and winning with them.... I think Belpre has a Good young coach. But I guess its always the same thing, What have you done for me lately? Nice job Coach.
Go Buckeyes!

Prodigy; forget about Packard getting to run outside, he lost his tailback position to Waderker and was moved to fullback.

After his 20 tackles at Tremble he was demoted to weakside linebacker and was told he wasn't trying hard enough and we had only one good player on the team(one of our receivers) and 22 carries up the middle for 93 yds, he wasn't running hard and had an I don't care attitude. This is bull crap, no one on the team tries harder or cares more than Ashton. I guarantee, if you ask our opponets coaches they would love to have him on their team. I don't understand why our coaches don't get on the punt coverage team for not running to the ball instead of lollygagging down the field, or the o-line for not blocking, and for our super star receiver for not trying to tackle. If we had 11 players that tried as hard as Ashton, we would win every game. The only way he could possibly please these coaches is if he changed his name.

Go Eagles

Agreed gpgm6566,no one plays harder than Ashton and maybe the coaches should take a look at their play calling before putting the blame on Ashton. Superman couldn't gain a yard for Belpre when the whole world knows that he is coming up the middle on every 1st or 2nd down.
Ashton takes a beating simply because the other teams know exactly when and where he is coming and the coaches refuse to adjust their plays to get him some free space to run in.If they ever ran a play action pass on 1st down they would have 3 receivers wide open down the field because everyone would converge on Ashton up the middle.Eric is a good little player,mainly on the defensive side and as a receiver but he is no tailback and has a problem holding on to the ball so expect more fumbles and pray that the kid doesn't get hurt real bad. I have tried to just watch the games and not be critical of the coaches but this makes no sense to me and i have to say that the coaches are the main problem in Belpre's offense (or lack of it),not Ashton.Make adjustments and give him some help and he will show them why he is the player that was TVC POY last year.

waderker had 3 fumbles in 5 games and packard 5 in the last game against wellston

I don't think any one is bashing the coaches, but I think you have to agree that a team has a better chance to win if they have their best 11 players on the field in any given situation. Example: Belpre has trouble covering kickoffs, on the sidelines is a player that over the last 3 yrs has made 70% of the tackles on kickoffs; in his place is a freshman that in 5 games hasn't come close to a tackle. This is just one of many things that doesn't make commonsense to me. Belpre had an off tackle play that was their most successful play by far last season, accounting for several long runs and touchdowns. Guess what, the coaches took it out of the playbook, and refuse to try it. I think that as bad as our offense has been, any reasonable coach would be grasping at straws to find any thing that could help. What if it was as simple as adding a couple of plays, how much would that cost to try. Any of you that have seen Belpre play, have to be wondering what is up with running 98% of our plays up the middle when the other team knows it is coming every time. I don't understand why, when we do run outside for 12 yds, why in the wouldn't you try it again. Belpre has a good full back. Why not run him up the middle, and maybe every once in a while run the tailback some where else.

And to any of these coaches that told Packard he didn't care and that he wasn't trying, need to review the films and they would be ashamed.

ok...I have heard NY had a good football team and I have spoke to some people and now I will have to say I will go with NY in this one by 3 scores...I would love to see NY come back to the SEOAL...they have a pretty good program up there..

[gpgm6566]

Wait till wrestling season and your spartins will see how terrible NY is at other sports; NY has dominated wrestling in the tvc for years and probably will again this year.

[nybucksmom]

You said it gpgm6566!!! N-Y has an awesome wrestling team and program. With the loss of some top wrestlers last year to graduation, they didn't do as well as the previous 5 years, but with the freshmen wrestlers coming-in, they're gonna get those wins again! That group coming in may be part of the best wrestling team N-Y has ever had.

Belpre has a fine wrestling program as well. Packard is one of their best...probably why he's a hell-of-a football player, too!

You all my look down on other sports at N-Y, but I remember when our basketball team won league (when I was in school) and our girls' volleyball and basketball teams were pretty good just a few short years ago (getting league titles).

Wins and losses come and go in phases...one hates to see the losses come, but it happens. Regardless, you should always support your team and never turn your back on them. Those kids work just as hard and have just as much heart as anyone and they deserve the support. So kiss-off to those of you knocking N-Y's sports programs! My son is grown and out of school now, but I'm an alum and I'll always back those kids up!

GO BUCKS!!!

[nybucksmom]

spartanpride.....Little boy, you just stepped on the wrong toes....I'm a wrestling mom, even though my son has graduated, I'll always be a "wrestling mom". I'd hate to see one of them get ahold of you. "deadmeat" would be your new name on here. You couldn't hang for 5 seconds with a wrestler, because you have no clue what work ethic or determination is. All you do is run your mouth and nothing but crap comes out of it.

For your information, there are people at Alexander who are working to start a wrestling program there. I work with the youth league and they have a youth team in it. Hopefully, they'll get the programs going in the middle school and high school over there in the next few years. Wrestling is a sport that not only builds strength, but character as well. It would be a fine addition to your school.

Man, I hate ignorance.......

[MariettaPride21]

thought this was a football thread?

[buckfan84]

Mom, I agree with you on everything except the comment about ignorance. Ignorance is when a person knows no better. Stupidity would have been the better choice of words.

ie: if a person gets booted or suspended from SEOP's only to rejoin under another name and then proceed to announce that they have done this will eventually get their email address blocked. Do we call that ignorance or stupidity? I'm leaning toward the latter.

well said nybucksmom and our Lady Bucks won the TVC in Basketball in 04-05 and Our ladies also won the TVC in Track in 06 and 07
reminder to those who are bashing N-Y sports those ARE KIDS THAT ARE PLAYING and you are putting them down that is just plain wrong!


Now back to what this thread is about FOOTBALL and GO BUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[loyaldevilfan]

ok...I have heard NY had a good football team and I have spoke to some people and now I will have to say I will go with NY in this one by 3 scores...I would love to see NY come back to the SEOAL...they have a pretty good program up there..

Have you seen Nelsonville in other sport besides football? They're horrible. They would be at the bottom in everything in the SEOAL in all other sports. Of course, they are in the TVC Ohio. I'd say their AD likes to keep the other sports down so football in the king up there in York.

I am sure NY would be a welcome addition to the SEOAL if the decided to come back....They have a good Athletic program and come from a very well repected community....

[nybucksmom]

You are absolutely right buckfan84!

orange-n-brown 365...Forgot about the ladies track team...sorry about that! We even had some from track make it to state in those years.

But, you are correct...let's get back to football! Wrestling, basketball, track, and all the other great sports will come along in due time!

GO BUCKS!!!
