Best wishes in 2023

Wow what a thing to say on your way out the door

Is this program remaining co-ed for the foreseeable future? It's hard to believe they don't have enough interest for two teams, considering Belpre is home to the largest youth rec league in the area

I can see the very small schools like New Boston or Clay being coed, but there is no reason for it anywhere else. Even Valley and South Webster SHOULD have girls teams, but nobody is making a push for it. Probably the same thing at Belpre.

They should be all girls teams at those schools that have football including Belpre. Might have a better chance at fielding good football teams that way. The other option is to move soccer to the spring. Also the football coach should be able to pick any soccer player to be a kicker for the football team. Yeah I said it. I know I'm an old goat but I say whatever I want and don't care what anyones feelings feel like.

High School Soccer is played in the Spring in part of the country. I prefer it in the fall so it doesn't compete with Track and Field, which from my experience has more overlapping athletes with soccer than Football+Volleyball do. It's also tough to have healthy grass fields if they get heavy use in the Spring.
