TVC-TOP 6: AFTER WEEK 1
Posted: Sun Apr 01, 2012 11:49 am
Well, since we don't have Pfloyd following baseball - and there seems to be a lack of posters throwing out opinions this spring ... I'll jump out on a limb and take the critisism to conjure up a top 6 rankings for the TVC each week.
THE LIST CAN BE FOUND ON THE TVC WEB SITE HOME PAGE EVERY SUNDAY: http://trivalleyconference.com/
WEEK ONE
1. Meigs Marauders (6-1) ... Off to a great start, the defending TVC-Ohio champs swept a solid Wahama team to begin the season, knocked off Warren 15-4, beat a good Trimble team 6-5 in Glouster and swept previously unbeaten Eastern Saturday. The lone loss for the Marauders was a 8-4 set-back to Gallia Academy (6-3).
2. Athens (3-1) ... The Bulldogs seem to always put a quality team on the field year in and year out - but with the addition of Chris Ford this year - they have a really good squad that should contend for a TVC-Ohio title. Wins over Marietta, Logan and Maysville has Athens in the No. 2 spot - but a showdown with Meigs on Thursday - kind of puts that No. 1 spot up for grabs next week.
3. Southern (6-0) ... Its hard to argue an undefeated team being any lower than No. 3 - and after looking over their schedule again - maybe they should have been in the No. 1 spot. The Tornadoes swept Gallia Academy to open the season, followed those wins up with a victory over Wahama, and then rattled off three straight over South Gallia, Roane County and Waterford. If Southern goes 3-0 in the upcoming week against Eastern, Fed Hock and Belpre - they may just leap over both Athens & Meigs no matter what either one of those teams do.
4. Eastern (3-2) ... The Eagles were undefeated until they were swept by Meigs Saturday. Eastern had knocked off Trimble, River Valley, Wellston and were leading Federal Hocking 6-5 in the 8th when the game was suspended due to darkness. A game with Southern Monday should shed some light on to how good the Eagles are.
5. Alexander (3-2) ... Knocking off Jackson, Warren and Logan is a pretty good start to the season for the Spartans. They did however drop their first game of a double header to Logan 8-1 Saturday - and lost the season opener to Marietta 4-3.
6. Federal Hocking (3-2) ... The Lancers appeared to be on the outside looking in until it swept Wellston Saturday. They suffered a 5-0 set-back to unbeaten Zane Trace last week and dropped a 4-2 decision to Belpre with Drew Nestor on the hill for the Golden Eagles. They take on Trimble, Southen and Wahama over a 4-day stretch this week - and although its early - it could be a make-or-break-week for Federal Hocking.
