[cghs82]

Thoughts on this sectional?

Eastern-Meigs (9-5)
Eastern-Pike (11-4)
Green (0-?)
Ironton St. Joe (10-3)
Miller (5-7)
Southern (11-2)
South Gallia (4-9)
South Webster (10-1)
Symmes Valley (5-10)
Trimble (5-10)
Waterford (11-0)

I believe their overall records are correct

[cghs82]

My thinking currently:
1. South Webster (11-1)
2. Waterford (11-1)
3. Southern (11-2)
4. Ironton St. Joe (10-3)
5. Eastern-Pike (11-4)
6. Eastern-Meigs (9-5)
7. Miller (5-7)
8. Trimble (5-10)
9. South Gallia (4-9)
10. Symmes Valley (5-10)
11. Green (0-?)

Big gap from #2 to #3

[fortdawg]

It's been the Waterford and Eastern Invitational the last few years. There usually are 4 teams coming out so the 4th Vs 5th seed is the game to watch. I bet it's been awhile since one of the first 3 seeds didn't make it out.

[fortdawg]

If Eastern-Meigs is the 6th seed that could change.

[RIVERVALLEY09]

Come on. ISJ is the only AP ranked team. Surly they should be the 1 seed.

[sportsfan]

Either South Webster or Waterford are 1-2. Saint Joe beat Southern in the first game of the season by 11. Saint Joe has lost last 4 out of 5 games, but has been missing PG Hannah Miller over that stretch. She should be back for the rematch at Southern,. Hopefully the loses without Miller won't penalize them at seeding.
I don't think ISJ was ever a top ten team, but they were 9-0 and got some local AP votes.
I also think Eastern Pike has a solid team with a really good player.

[fortdawg]

I don't have a dog in this fight but enjoy this stuff---I see Waterford as the 1, SW the 2, Eastern-Meigs and Southern as the 3 and 4 depending on their head to head and league records on the draw. ISJ and Eastern-Pike fight over the 5 and 6.

Six TVC Hocking schools will be a big hurdle to overcome for ISJ and Eastern-Pike----Who's their buddies when it comes to voting? Now if Waterford beats one of the other five by 75 to 6---they could slide. hahaahahah

[The Flying Dutchman]

I guess it doesn't matter that ISJ beat both Eastern Meigs and Southern

[Super trooper]

They can't beat Waterford

[fortdawg]

I'm not saying it doesn't matter Dutchman---I'm saying that I wouldn't bet the house on that being the deciding factor. There have been many instances of a team being ranked above a team they lost to.

Again, I don't have any inside info or anything---I just enjoy the give and take. If the TVC votes as a block......

[86LancerLover]

Though I don't like them, I do respect them, and the TVC Hocking has ran DIV for close to a decade, they still have street cred in these things.

[fortdawg]

Well spoken for a Federal Boy.

[Nybucks70-80]

My thinking currently:
1. South Webster (11-1)
2. Waterford (11-1)
3. Southern (11-2)
4. Ironton St. Joe (10-3)
5. Eastern-Pike (11-4)
6. Eastern-Meigs (9-5)
7. Miller (5-7)
8. Trimble (5-10)
9. South Gallia (4-9)
10. Symmes Valley (5-10)
11. Green (0-?)

1-2 are solid teams with #3-6 being toss ups. Any of those teams could beat the other on a givin night.

[G.W.A.]

Anyone other than Waterford at #1 would be a joke.

[Jay Bruce]

1. South Webster
2. Waterford
3. Ironton St. Joe
4. Southern
5. Eastern Pike
6. Eastern Meigs
7. Miller
8. Symmes Valley
9. Trimble
10. South Gallia
11. Green

Seriously, SW has beaten to ranked teams that are a bigger division then they are. They play in D3 and D2 conference and has handled everyone..only loss by 1 to Burg, who was the ranked team they beat by 14. Not knockin Waterford, but to beat 2 bigger schools, who were ranked, you got to give them credit and reward them.

[bbjunky81]

Anyone other than South Webster at #1 would be a joke.

[RIVERVALLEY09]

SW is having a great year and yea they should be ranked but..... waterford is waterford. Would be a great game to watch.

[Ironman92]

Anyone other than South Webster at #1 would be a joke.

No it wouldn't....SW and Waterford are both great and the 2 best D4 SE teams with North Adams not far back.

Saying either team is clearly the #1 is insulting to the other team. Waterford will get it if it remains this close....due to league affiliation.
