Does anyone know who the Vikings first scrimmage is against?...and where?

I know they are matched up against Southern in Athens on the 27th..any games before that?

[Ty Webb]

Here is VC's pre season schedule. Don't know a lot of details on how this morning's scrimmage went with Unioto & Southern. I know Oak Hill was suppose to be part of this, but due to their football playoffs, they got Southern to come in.

Thur Nov 19th @Harvest Prep/Westfall 5PM

The Vikings looked solid, some rust, but Coach Combs and Coach Miller is knocking it off.

[Dundas]

Thats good to hear!! Do you know if Remy is going to play any Varsity this year? Or is that TBD?

[FrankieG]

[FrankieG]

Pretty good showing from The Vikes. And they got Warren Local coming to McArthur tomorrow night for the Foundation Game.

[Dundas]

What time is the game tomorrow night? Will it be a 4 qtr game?

[hawkeyepierce]

I believe it begins with the JV's tipping off at 6 PM, and yes each game is four quarters. This is an exhibition, but it will have the look and feel of a regular game.

Southern didnt make the playoffs. Oak Hill was suppose to take part in the scrimmage, but they made the playoffs and couldnt participate.

[Dundas]

Hawkeye...

Tonight should be a great test for VC going against preseason favorite Warren in pretty much a 'for real' game! I cant wait!!

[Farmer Yoder]

No way southern even gets into districts this year (.)(.)

Hey Kinny, if you know so darn much why don't you apply for the football coaching job? Same for you Gilligan.... you want to throw a jab at coach Yates by putting "Wolford opens weight room" If you guys think you have all the answers then you apply. It is easy to bash a coach when you have no idea what it takes to be one. The hours you put in... the amount of time away from your family... The thing I really do not get is what do the people from VC except? When have we ever been this powerhouse that could beat any team that we face. If you look back at who we played in the past, it wasn't like we were playing all of these playoff caliber teams. In the late 80's and early 90's we were winning, but we were playing the schools from the hocking division of the TVC. At VC we will get a group that can compete with any team from southeastern ohio every 5 years or so and I do not care who the coach is. You could have had Lombardi coaching these kids and you would not have won any more games... IT IS WHAT IT IS and there is not much a coach can do about it.

This is a BASKETBALL thread

Great job tonight VC.

[Dundas]

Vinton County beat, who some see as the early season favorite, Warren Warriors tonight in McArthur by a score of 55-51. Both VC and Warren were a bit rusty early on. Many missed shots, lack of hustle on a few plays. VC looked a bit worn out from the scrimmage last night but played well enough to win the game. Warren played well, and very physical. Congrats to the Vikings on a job well done against one of the top teams in SEO! Hopfully this carries over into the season and the Vikes can get out of the gate on a roll!

[Diehard Fan]

Vinton co. dont base youre stenghth to seoal because i would say the tvc will be a stronger conf. than seoal this year. The seoal is going to be really weak this year and Warren does have a good chance of winning the conf. In past years Warren had way better teams and alot better athletes than they do now and were always running 3rd in conf but were competitive. This year all the teams are rebuilding and are down to graduation and will not be very competitive.

[Dundas]

I dissagree...i think the Seoal will be very good this year. The Warriors may very well be the favorite in the Seoal but its not because the league is weak...its because the Warriors are a strong team. The TVC will be a good Conference this season..time will only tell if they are better than the Seoal. I dont think you can say that this early though. The TVC has a lot to prove.
