Green @ Oak Hill

[gwell]

You had to make me post again, didn't you.
No there is not any law. But while I'm here, i will answer another of your questions.

Where were you guys just 4 short years ago when Oak Hill was getting pummeled by everyone?

There is no earthly reason why anyone would come to the defense of a division V school getting beat by division VI schools.

[buckeye21]

That didn't really answer the question but anyways by your comment you act like there is a huge disparity between a D V school and a D VI school when in reality there is not. This is not like the disparity in college football between a D 1-A and 1-AA schools. Smaller schools beat larger schools all the time in Ohio but unfortunately this has not happened in the SOC 1 this year.

with Oak Hill playing D-6 schools won't
get them ready for the playoffs in D-V
best of luck in the playoffs.

I don't think you have to worry about them being ready.

If things go well and Oak Hill gets in the playoffs, I think the Oak Hill kids will prepare for anyone they will face in the playoffs like they have prepared for everyone they have played all year. They are a very focused bunch, and very business like in their approach to any opponent they have faced this year no matter what the record. Their emotions are always on an even level, not too high not too rah -rah. They study their mistakes on film and do the best they can to correct them in practice, they study their opponents on film and do the best they can to carry out the game plan. They are not just happy to be in the playoffs they want to win and will give the best they have no matter who it is against. Im going to say this and probably the **** will hit the fan , but I dont think playing better competition week in and week out necessarily makes you better every year. Like I said in a school Oak Hills size you could schedule ahead of time and then get caught in a down cycle, and maybe be in over your head, like Trimble did this year. Its kind of a tricky thing. Schedule so you can get in the playoffs and have a few games that are against good non-league opponents and get tested a couple times. You need a few games like the Minford game to put you in situations where your tested but your schedule also has to include some games that give your kids a break. I think the biggest concern if anything in pulling your starters the first half or in the 3rd quarter like Oak Hill has had to do these last few weeks is the conditioning element and that is being taken care of in practice. If you miss an assignment against someone that same assignment is going to be missed no matter who your playing, it just costs you more in a tight game. You see the same things on the film, you go in the wrong direction or miss a key and its the same missed assignment no matter what the competition, Its noted and its worked on in practice. If you want to test your kids you can test them in practice and put your best against your best and control it so no injuries occur. The last few weeks you want no injuries and you want the kids to be rested.Depth is a factor at smaller schools and too tough a schedule can beat you up pretty good, your not going to get in the playoffs when you lose starting linemen and have no one to replace them with. As I have said you will get great cycles of athletes at small schools and then go through down ones, if you catch things right you make the playoffs and win some games. I think the smaller schools that are having year in and year out success and going deep into the playoffs every year have advantages, like being a private institution that can recruit or have a snowball effect of kids coming into their district because of the reputation of the program. There are not many of those in southeastern Ohio. So Oak Hill will continue to play hard no matter what the competition and not worry about their schedule its water under the bridge, and really no one in Oak Hill really cares about it at this point ,if they win out their in this year and we are just enjoying the good job the kids have done. Seems to me the only people that are harping on it have nothing to do with Oak Hill

My point is they didn't win every year they won 2 years and lost 2years to Kyger Creek which was a single A power in the area from the 50's until the school was shut down in 91 for River Valley,Kyger Creek prob graduated 40 or less kids every year.

You might want to get your facts straight before posting. Wait..... I forgot some people won't let the truth get in the way of a good story. Oak Hill was in the SVAC for six years, not 4, and won the title at least 4 of those years. Jeff Conroy for 4 years, Scott Bartholomew for 2 years as head coach during those SVAC years. They probably didn't know what they were doing either, and I am sure they were not responsible for any of that success because neither had much success after they left Oak Hill .


Kyger Creek prob graduated 40 or less kids every year.[/quote] What were they New Boston?????? You might want to check those figures also. Oh wait... I forgot. You don't care if what you post is true as long as it makes a great story.

gwell, Blue_nd_Gray, and others keep up the complaints and digs about Oak Hill. One thing I know for sure is that it might bother the adults (like me) who read this site, but the kids who played on this team won't care one bit if they beat a division 6 or division 1 team when they look back on this season. They will have great memories of a wonderful accomplishment no matter if they win one, two, or no games in the playoffs. The community is proud of this team. Your complaining and whining will not have any effect on that, whatsoever!

[THE CORDIAL ONE]

Looks like this pigskin guy has a couple of facts to back up his statements. Nice. A couple poster have some serious issues with the success of the Oaks this year.

[crazee-oakaholic]

Yea no doubt. nice post pigskin and GO OAKS

[riverball]

Oak Hill by a bunch in this one. Green will come out an HIT you though. Don't get anyone hurt in this one. Do what you can to stay ready for the playoffs.

[ohhsgottagetthatblue]

When they were 0-10 a few years ago no one brought this up, now they are going to finish 10-0 and people start bashing them. Why are people so jealous? Great things are happening in Oak Hill, you should be proud of them. Is the the state championship they won in basketball that gets people to bash em on here a little bit, or what? Get over it. Move on

GOOOO OAKS

exactly.

[ohhsgottagetthatblue]

Your reply then is, OHSAA bases divisions on boys enrollment and conferences should not.
You are right about one thing. The SOC 1 is a good fit for Oak Hill. But you should have added, only.
Anyway, good luck in the post season.

you're being lame. why couldn't you have just answered the initial question and stopped crying?

[bleed_blue]

i dont no if their is any truth to this but rumor has it that oak hill is getting a little brave next year and putting ironton and wheelersburg on their schedule

[ohhsgottagetthatblue]

i dont no if their is any truth to this but rumor has it that oak hill is getting a little brave next year and putting ironton and wheelersburg on their schedule

hmm. i also heard that..

[Keyser_sozeThrice]

I can confirm that Wheelersburg will play Oak Hill in week two of next season.

As for Ironton, I can't confirm that one.

The Wellston Golden Rockets return to the Oaks' schedule as well, in week four. The two teams last played in week four of 2006.

But why worry about next year when the Oaks have more football to play this year after tonight?

its just a big leap going from playing teams like river valley and trimble to adding wheelersburg and possibly ironton

[paramedic192]

Halftime

Oak Hill 49
Green 0

[Ump]

what was the final of this game?

[Keyser_sozeThrice]

Congrats to the Oaks on a 10-0 season (only other was in 1987), an SOC I championship (first ever) and a playoff berth (first ever)
