Teams like Ironton, Wheelersburg, etc., need to travel across the river because of geographic reasons. Do you also disagree with eastern and western border schools playing teams from Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Indiana? We have to travel a good distance for our conference games. We aren't a big school with deep pockets, what should we do? Tell us who else we are supposed to play non-conference? The bottom line is if you want to talk about teams Ironton is playing "this year", I have no doubt Ashland would do pretty well in the SEOAL this year.
Everyone in the SEOAL has to travel distances..Logan has to travel just as much as Ironton does in the conference. You should stay in the league that you just joined 3 years ago..that's what you should do. Just like Logan..if Logan was to go Independent...which is what we hear from Ironton all the time that they need to do..after Week 3..what could we do? Who would play us? And Ashland might do well "this year"..but I doubt they'd win the SEOAL either.
