SOC1 2010

[riverball]

Are you referring to the "frist" game of the playoffs?
Coach Webb is the best coach to ever coach symmes valley football, he has won more conference championships and made more playoff appearances than any other coach. And to second guess his schedule selection is stupid, apparently he knows who to play to be competitive and how to get playoff points.

where is more to football than making the coach look good?? how mean kids has gone on to play football at the next level (-0-)

If you are a student at SV and you are an indication of the way it is out there, then I would say that maybe it isn't football skills that is keeping anyone from playing at "the next level" maybe it's grammar?

Not meant as a knock on anyone else at SV. Just this Bozo.

Jackson High School (a much larger school than Symmes Valley) has had very few going on to play at the next level, no skill players, two legit Division I players in 25 years and they were linemen. a few linemen in Division II and junior college and some playing Division III which you do not get a scholarship for, very little of that has to do with the coach , its genetics. Players able to compete at the next level are few and far between.

[scarlet and grey]

Trust me coach Webb does every thing that he can to help get players to the next level, I know this first hand. I played under coach Webb and my brother and I both had a chance to play college ball and believe me coach Webb did everything in his power to get our names out there to college coaches.

I'll drink to that.

If Notre Dame finishes 9-1, I'm pretty sure the world would explode by shear amazment that they had a winning record.

Not sure what Notre Dames schedule looks like this year. So I did it off last years, maybe someone can post this years for us.
Marion Catholic (1-9) ND won this last year and should be able to again

Greenup County (KY) (3-7) Very close game last year this one will be at home and the Titans return a lot
Africentric (2-8) I did forget about this game when I made the 9-1 prediction, anyone know if they are still on the schedule?
Bishop Rosecrans (8-2) ND lost this one by 13 last season and ND will be better this year than last. Lots of injuries, really hurt the Titans 2009 season.
South Gallia (3-7) Lost an ugly game by 2 last season, won’t happen again this year.
Manchester (0-10) Manchester is improving but hasn’t gotten there yet.

Oak Hill (10-0) The Oaks rolled last year and with Sloan and company back should pick up another win, however I beat coach Ashley and the Titans keep it closer then last season.
Green (2-8) ND will pick up the W over the Bobcats again this season

Symmes Valley (8-2) ND lost another close game here, and will look to pick up a close one this time around.
Sciotoville Community School (5-5) Rivalry!!!! ND showed what they could do last year in this one, and I look for them to pick it up again this year.

I think thats pretty fair, they could win 9, but I think they'll be more like 8-2 or 7-3, I could see them losing to Africentric, Greenup, and Oak Hill...I think they could beat Greenup, but I have a feeling that Greenup will be a little more settled in now that they have been in that system two years...I do think that they will make the playoffs though

As far as the rest of the Soc: I think Oak Hill will win it, but I have a bad feeling about them, they have all of that hype, and it seems like High School teams that are hyped up never live up to it...Symmes Valley will be competitive, but I think they will be a 6-4 or 5-5 team...I see a disappointing season for East, they are very very young...and I think Green could be the wildcard in all of this, they have a lot back, and a decent amount of talent if they got the right coach I could see them finishing second, but I doubt it will happen

If I'm not mistaken they have more golden footballs than any other area school, including burg. I'm not 100% sure about that, though. And don't forget about those two state banners in the gym. They went 6-4, 6-4, and 4-6 regular season last three seasons, but I know before that was pretty shady... i definitely would say a winning record is in the question. So at least I know minford wouldn't explode from our amazement. We would be surprised at 9-1 though.

Tobias posted on on another thread that ND will not be playing Bishop, Marion, and S. Gallia.
To be replaced with Fayettesville-Powell, North West, and Fairfield Christian. I believe that is correct.
Your 9-1 prognostication looks good.
Your Bud is on ice.

[Trojan_FB_Alum]

I did forget about Africentric, they could pose a problem for the Titians if they are still on the schedule, they may have to settle for 8-2, but that would still be a good year and give them a chance at a home game. The Nubians are not a great team but just have too many good fast athletes. I think they would give Oak Hill a very good game. They are only a D5 team and they went 2-8 last year but that was against 4 D2 schools, a D1 and 2 D3s.

[Charles Farquar]

Sider if you count up the posts containing hype concerning next years season you will see that the number of hype posts by Notre Dame concerning their team far exceed that by Oak Hill posters.

[Downtown]

Farquar, we hear this every year. About how this team is going to do this or that. And every year that team goes home dissapointed. That team I'm talking about is Notre Dame. They may have the most "Gold Footballs" in this area but the last time they won one was in 2000. They're old news. And they have only won around 40 (if that) football games for the decade, which is dismal for a team "predicting" to go 9-1 every year.

[Charles Farquar]

Hey I think it great that the people at Notre Dame are expecting great things from their team this year, thats the way it should be, its great that the kids at Notre Dame have that support and those kind of expectations. Every team should have that atttitude, and hopefully most do. Hey for them it would be wonderful if they went 9-1. But I just wanted to correct something , there have been very few Oak Hill people, maybe one on here that has said anything or hyped up the team since the posts began this year. One of the things I liked about last years Oak Hill team was how business like they were, their attitude was " DO WORK" and that is what they would say to each other. No team member would talk about what they were going to do, they would just take it day by day and keep focused to the task at hand.

[Faclons Forever]

I can't speak for ND. I'm a closet fan. My cousin goes there and will be a senior. I intend to go as many games this year as I can, but that's really it. Oak Hill is nasty- Africentric is great. Greenup and Northwest are huge. But my cousin doesn't care, and he says the rest of the team feels the same. One more thing- 10 years ago ND won an SOC, then Bob Ashley left. After a dismal time with Darby Riley, McKnight came in and turned them around. ND went to the playoffs and to the SOC title game. There were over 10 seniors that year. The past two years had four seniors. This year there are 12+ seniors, and guess who's back? Bob Ashley. It's about to come full circle. As I said before- I can't speak for them, but from my vantage point, I think there will be some heads turned.

I'm not creating hype- just saying what I think. Just to make you happy here's my "hype" on the other schools.

Oak Hill- Nasty. Return a lot, work hard, have the potential to win SOC if they can finish. I see them finishing 8-2, with losses to Wheelersburg and Minford. Both should be great games.

Green- depending on the coaching selection and what the players put in, should be in the 2-8 to 4-6 range. I see them starting to gain momentum. Look out 2 years from now!

East- Not bad, but nothing spectacular. 4-6. Don't return much, and the coaching carousel is finally taking its toll.

Symmes Valley- I can't really get a good read on them. I haven't seen them play in awhile and I have no idea what they're returning. I see Symmes and ND battling it out for second and a playoff berth.

There is no doubt Oak Hill can finish! And if they go 8-2 like you predict losing to Minford and Burg that means the would have won the league title! There is more than just potential there, it's called talent! Slone & Maynard!

[Faclons Forever]

Potential and talent mean nothing until they produce results Of course we're talking solely about next season. We'll just have to wait and see best of luck to the Oaks and all SOC teams next year. Just for the sake of debate, if Oak Hill goes 8-2, will their strength of schedule be enough to propel a playoff push?

[Trojan_FB_Alum]

In 08 the Oaks went 7-3 with wins against 3 d4 schools and 4 d6. The result was the Oaks finishing in 16 place in region 19 and not coming close to the post season.

I see the Oaks losing to Burg, Minford, and New Richmond, this will result in the Oaks wins coming against 4 d6 2 d4 and a 1 d5. Very similar to the 08 season, and I think they will be setting at home without the help of a lot of 2nd level points. The Oaks better hope ND can win a lot of games.

8-2 probably gets them in if they pick up the extra game against the right team, but it will be very close. If its a strong year in the region they could miss out at 8-2, or even at 9-1 if the teams they beat don't produce 2nd level points.
