It sure sounds like it........and another individual on this site has been lobbying for a higher seed for about a month!

Where in my post does it seem like I am wanting to get a higher seed? And all I said about our schedule were the remarks abouth the Christian Schools. I stand by those remarks I made. And some of you Eastern Pike fans complaining about our schedule is like us saying it is unfair because your kids get more time in the gym because 98% of our players play football. Its a ridiculous comment, but that is how we feel when people crack on our schedule year after year.
And if he was lobbying for a higher seed why would he do it on here? I dont think anyone on this thread has a vote in the Sectional so if he convinces people on here or not does not matter! I think the intent of this thread was to see where people thought certain teams would end up but when some people teams wasnt where they thought they should be they got a little fired up..
Of course there is seeds I would like to see the Rebels get and there are some seeds I would like to see us not get. But no matter where we end up, I guarantee we will show heart and fight until the end.
I have no idea why he would lobby on this site, but has for awhile now,go back through and read the posts!As for the schedule comments.....a South Gallia coach gets on here and says Eastern Pike should be a 5 seed because of there weak schedule,then turns around and says SG should be seeded higher than a 7-6 Trimble team!Come on!Trimble plays a much tougher schedule than SG so he is contridicting himself! And SG does not have there schedule handed to them.....they are not forced to play 5 or 6 games vs christian schools every year! 1 or 2 is understaning since your not in a league but 5? That is just 5 easy wins every year!How about calling Wellston?Why not Belpre?How about Galla Academy?There are teams to schedule besides these schools!
How could the SOC do that?I assume you are referring to the SOC 1 and they already have 8 teams.That would mean playing 16 league games if SG joined!The SOC2 also has 8 teams so you could'nt move anyone around either!What about the TVC Hocking?

I have news for you. Every school only has to schedule 6-8 games every year because the other 12-14 games on their schedule are league games. That leaves schools with very few games to play non-conference schools. South Gallia has to find 20 games every year. Its hard to burn bridges when these teams are nice enough to play us. We have been trying to get in the SOC for awhile and that would solve these problems. Beaver is a good team. The SOC 1 is down this year. The overall non-conference record of all these schools in the SOC 1 are bad. How do you know we haven't contacted these schools? We have upgraded our schedule every year. We used to only play Rock Hill one time and we play them twice now. We added East this year and New Boston twice a year or so ago. We used to play Teays Valley Christian and OVC 2 times and now we only play once. Wheelersburg played Crosslanes Christian, Fed Hock played OVC last year, and ETC.
Four Years ago we played a higher seeded Symmes Valley team in the tourney. We beat them(with our bad schedule) and then had to face an even higher seeded Reedsville Eastern team in the finals and beat them. Went on to play a State team in South Webster and lost by 12 points.(Not bad for a state qualifier)
Three years ago we played a 2nd seeded Trimble team to advance to the district and were a huge underdog especially with our weak schedule. Trimble never had the lead one time that whole game. Again we got beat in District by State Champions South Webster.
Last year we started out 0-11 for the year. Improved so much and winning 7 of the last 8. We went in overtime with a reigional qualifier in Waterford. We missed a 8 foot jumper to beat them as time expired.
This year we have turned an early poor record into winning 6 of the last eight. Its nots lobbying we are playing as good as any 5-10 seeded teams. Its not lobbying its the truth. We are playing better than Miller, Symmes Valley, St. Joe, and Trimble. then, I think we are playing as good as Beaver, Eastern, and Waterford. But, I still list us as a 6-7th seed. Thats a fair judgement!!!!!!Again, its only my opinion!!!

TVC Hocking has already been talked about but was decided that traveling would be a problem, especially the late nights we would be getting back from some of the games on school nights. I think if it came down to it again and this was talked through, I think SG would be voted into the SOC!
Again.....You are the one that keeps posting Beaver as a 5 seed because of there so called "weak"schedule.......and you turn around and SG should be seeded higher than Trimble!It just makes no sense to me!And as for past tournaments,that has nothing to do with 2009......I could go back and give examples as well but this year is what matters not 1988 or 2007!

You seem to be one of those fans getting fired up. Why do you care so much about his opinion?
What is 20 minutes past SV if you have already been on a bus for that long? And they would only have to make that trip once a year for basketball. If we got accepted for only football, they wouldnt have to worry about it at all.
I agree with future on the five seed as well only because the TVC will stick together and you will be behind Oak Hill and 3 TVC teams.
I'm not getting fired up......just asked a few questions and still have not got a answer that made sense!
20 mins past SV is a very long ride!It would'nt just be once a year.......would also be for girls basketball,softball, and baseball.I don't see how the SOC could be much more convient than the TVC,thats all!
