Nelsonville-York Football History

NYBuckeye96 · Post by **NYBuckeye96** » Wed Oct 24, 2007 5:07 pm

I was thinking that it would be nice to have a website that lists every season of Nelsonville-York football, the opponents played and scores to the games. I figure that between everyone from NY that is on this site, at least one person has access to a yearbook from each season.

What do you guys think about this.......what if we went through our yearbooks for our 4 years of high school and posted the football scores on here? After all of the years are compiled, that information could be posted on a website somewhere? Maybe start a webpage or maybe a current website, such as the Athletic Boosters, might put that information on their website.

As many people as use SEOPS from NY, I think we have the individual resources to do this, we just have to consolidate all of the information we each have!

This is a great idea :idea:

If someone was really industrious they could go to the high school library and get a copy of each of the yearbooks since NY consoladated.

I talked about doing this when I was doing games on the radio, but I never got around to it.

Good luck with this. It would be great to have the ALL-TIME scores, win/loss records, and series record between NY and all their opponents.

4 horseman -

I can tell from my experience (doing LoganFootball.com) that yearbooks are a great place to start, but it's also best to verify scores if possible from newspapers, etc.

I'd be glad to give advice to anyone who is interested in this type of project. It's a lot of work, but worth it IMO!

Loganlocos-

I appreciate the offer. I have always been very impressed with what a great job the folks of the SEOAL have done at keeping their records. I didn't really realize it until I did a couple SEOAL games and it was SO easy to find all the stats and info I was looking for.

It would be nice to have this done for ALL the teams in the area.

Where you at that game Belpre vs Nelsonville. Boy that game was hyped up. Then he opening kickoff went really bad for Belpre....we never recovered....we went 9-1 and still didn't make the playoffs. That sucked.

If there was site for the TVC OHIO and HOCKING and the old TVC. I bet you could get alot of older folks on there and share alot of stories.

I'm actually thinking about taking this on. I'll have some time after Thanksgiving. If I can handle writing a 50 page seminar paper, I think I could handle this. I could at least get the history back to 1967. It might be harder to get the old Greyhound stuff. But I don't think anyone wants to remember those years anyways! lol

Going to do it for the entire TVC years? Make a web page for TVC to post the information?

NYBuckeye96 · Post by **NYBuckeye96** » Wed Oct 24, 2007 11:28 pm

Well, my background is not in webpage design. If I did make a webpage, it would be very basic. I'm more interested in just retrieving the information first and then see what happens from there.

Good luck. you can do it,It would be nice for your Buckeyes

NYBuckeye96-

I would LOVE to see you do this. I really think that it is something that needs to be done and a lot of people would appreciate it (it is just that none of the rest of us will get off our fat duffs and do the work :lol:

)

For what it is worth, I would say you only go back to 1967 and the consolodation. Before 67 there was a combination of different schools and Lord knows you better not confuse Nelsonville with Nelsonville-YORK :!:

(I know a UPS man in Buchtel who will have a heart attack if you do that ;-)

)

Besides, there are some Bulldog fans who LIVE to try and include Greyhound stats with Buckeye stats (They haven't faired nearly as well since the consolidation ;-)

)

Good Luck.

These are the two most common mistakes made by reporters:

1. Saying Nelsonville instead of Nelsonville-York. (Pisses off everyone outside of Nelsonville)

2. Saying the high school & Boston Field are in Buchtel, because they are inside the city limits of Nelsonville. (Pisses off everyone in Nelsonville).

If someone did a radio or tv broadcast and said "Todays game between the Nelsonville Buckeyes and ____ at Boston Field in Buchtel".....He might need an armed escort to his car. :lol:

Very funny and very accurate :!:

Add in the fact that you are watching a SOCCER game there and not football, and then you would really see Armageddon :mad:

I always liked saying "Nelsonville" on the radio just to see how many people would get upset :shock:

(the hilarious part is that I grew up in Buchtel) :oops:

But I am a "York" boy through-and-through. I am a combination of the two "old" schools just like N-Y (My Dad was a Buchtel-York Bruin, and my Mom a Nelsonville Greyhound)

Me..... I'm a N-Y Buckeye ;-)

My mom was a Buchtel-York Bruin and my dad was a Waterloo Rocket!

I have a ton of old Athens Messenger articles.Will help.I Would like to see a NY WEB SITE.

NYBuckeye96,

When I created the Trimble website, I used the geocities program off of yahoo. For $9 a month you can get a advertiser-free site (I'm sure that N-Y would have a booster organization that would be willing to give ten a month for the site, the Alumni Football Association over here does that for my site). The only computer knowledge that I have is what I taught myself and the geocities program was great for a novice like me. I highly recommend it, and look forward to seeing a site for the Buckeyes in the future.

BTW I was given some old films of Trimble and it has the complete 1981 Trimble/Nelsonville-York game on it. I'll make a few copies and get them floating around for anyone that is interested.

The Library may be a place to look for old stuff like that in the history room.. I love that room!

Warpig-

I would love to see some of that vintage 1981 film. Last year channel 15 showed the Wheelersburg game from 81 and I just sat in amazement of Brian Mays.

You know how you remember most people as being better than they actually were....... Well I think Mays may have been even better than I remember....

He was a beast :!:
