PVC 2010

[NorthernLight]

My pick is Monroe Central who since consolidation years ago has made many playoff appearances and continues to get to the point of seeming like they just reload every year with no drop off. Good program.

FOS - That is what continuity and great feeder programs will do for you in the small communities. When Skyvue and Woodsfield consolidated, it set the football program back a little bit, as the kids from Skyvue had never played football, and the additional enrollment moved a D VI program up to D V overnight.

Woodsfield had a very solid program before the consolidation, let's not lose sight of that. Having the same head coach for nearly 40 years and assistants who all played for Coach Circosta makes a big difference. Plus, the Sideliners club, with their financial support and volunteer labor, are second to none.

First class football facilities coupled with an outstanding weight lifting facility with ample mentoring, make for a great program. The people of Monroe county, with their financial and moral support, help to ensure that football is king in Woodsfield.

Steely Dan..I agree with all you said except for the last part.. Maybe the people of Woodsfield and Lewisville, not Monroe County..Remember there are two other schools in the county that loathe the Noles...Others in the county go to Frontier or Shenandoah...One even dropped us and outta the PVC after a 70+ to something score a few yrs back..So much for the Big Blue..But, I am sure the WHOLE county knows that Woodsfield is the King in Football

I was a little disappointed SteelyDan. I thought we played Federal Hocking 1st this year.. No home/away game for the two??...Or was last years spanking a little to much ..j/k my friend..

[Steely Dan]

NL - That was a one and done, and everyone knew it going into the game last year. All kidding aside, Fed Hock played arguably one of the toughest schedules in SE Ohio last year, their opponents after week five were I believe 25-0 or 24-1, something like that. That included MC, FF, and Shenandoah from the PVC. No other TVC team has ever played more than one PVC in the regular season, including the TVC Ohio.

I'd love to see Trimble and NY play some of the PVC teams on a regular basis. Alexander was the cinderella last year in the TVC, and given Fed Hock's schedule, I'm not so sure that they would have entered week five last year at 4-0. As a matter of fact, I'm sure that they wouldn't.

Enough of that. Back to this fall, PVC. Still like the Noles by far, and it is a dogfight for second place.

As for your comments about the rest of the county, yes, you are keeping me honest, as much as I hate it! You are actually filling in the gaps of my foggy memory......

Can't wait until week one, it is going to be a great season this year!

Mike Luke will not be playing for Fort Frye and that will be a big blow.Monroe Central has lost a lot the last 2 seasons in Hogue,DLD,and Habig.They always seem to reload tho and barring injury they should win the league.Battle for 2nd comes down to Caldwell,Fort Frye,and Frontier.I do not know alot about Trail,River,and Shenandoah.Shenandoah has a really talented young Qb.Leisure should be pretty good as well.Brandon Starr is a very nice peice. Fort Frye has a great RB in Skinner and a great athlete in Watson is new to the spot at Qb but has been there a lot getting better.In terms of front 7 and skills guys like Herndon,Skinner,Klinger,Watson,both Lang boys they should be pretty good if Watson comes around.

Is the wes boy from shenandoah a senior ? or is he still there ?

The league could be up in the air now that Frontier has Jake Burnoni from Catholic.Also Jake MCmillon?? 6-4 300 lbs lineman from South will be playing for Fort Frye.Also Shon Smith from Fort Frye has decided to play and is a candiate at QB.

[hammer89]

How ugly will the Week 1 game between Ridgewood and Buckeye Trail be? Will they (Trail) be any better than last year?

Until they play and show that they are worthy of discussion, your rumors are meaningless. "The league is up in the air"? Keep smoking what you've been smoking. MC with their returning talent, and coaching staff, is head and shoulders above everyone else.

hammer - Don't know much about BT this year, but I'd have to agree with you, Ridgewood should take that game easily, based on last year's BT team.

[hammer89]

I would love to see a playoff matchup between MC and Ridgewood. I was hoping for one last year but it didn't happen. Two of the best coached teams in Eastern Ohio.

[EasternDspy]

Burnoni was a stud a Catholic.Monroe Central returns like 4 or 5 starters what makes you think they are that much better then everyone else.Fort Fryes line will be huge.Fort Frye does have a big question mark at QB.I am still picking Monroe but will not be shocked if they get beat by Frontier,Caldwell,Or FF.Trail is probably the leagues worst team.Losing the teams best Qb,Rb,Fb,and top 2 lineman from a 1-9 team.

[amazinghocks]

I would follow Steely's advice over anybody's when it comes to the PVC.

Thanks man. Some people are delusional. Playing for Parkersburg Catholic is like playing for Bishop Donahue, or Hundred, or McMechon, or Bellaire St. Johns.

Apple and orange comparisons are absolutely meaningless at this point.

I'll put all my eggs in the Monroe Central basket and let Chief Jay and his great staff lose it to the likes of Frontier (oh, what's that, they've won one time in 43 years against Woodsfield/Monroe Central) or Fort Frye. Yes, Kapono, I was at the FF game vs. Monroe last year, and MC played like crap and still stomped the Cadets. I'll be in Beverly this year on my SE Ohio Regular Season World Tour (I might have T-Shirts made up for that, just for sh*ts and giggles), to see the Monroe Central/Fort Frye showdown.

[EasternDspy]

Tanner Robinson doesn't get hurt last year Fort Frye is a playoff team.He was just to fast the 1st 3 games and all the scrimmages FF scored a TD on every driver that Robinson was at Qb.I wish he could have played vs Monroe.Monroe probably still would have won but it would have been fun.Fort Frye will be very good and could be 4-0 going into the MC game.

[Steely Dan]

Well, that game is one of my SE Ohio tour stops, so we will see. I have no skin in the game anymore, so my point-of-view will be objective. Let's see how this plays out when MC comes down to Beverly this year.

I wouldn't be surprised if we have another woulda, shoulda, coulda game.......at least according to a one fan....

[I drain 3's]

Had a little preview of the Frontier football team in the Marietta paper today. Should have a pretty good squad. Not really sure of their schedule, but i'm guessing they'll finish right around where they were last year, something like 7-3 or 8-2. Start off the season @ Shenandoah I believe. Their coach also stated he expects Monroe Central and Caldwell to challenge for the title, and that Caldwell will be the most improved team.

[EasternDspy]

It is really going to be a toss up when it comes to FF,Caldwell,and Frontier.Monroe is the head of the class.Frontier is very weak up front which is a strength of FF and Caldwell.

[I drain 3's]

Agree that Monroe is pretty much above everyone else. I don't know what Frontier's lines will look like, but at least on offense, with Fickisien (sp?) returning he should be able to make the right reads rather quickly. Plus I believe they have a pretty good RB returning as well. There are ways to take advantage of things like an opposing teams aggressive pass rush and such. I mean, I haven't seen Frontier's team or anything, but if their O-line is smaller than most other team's D-lines, then its possible they're quicker. They could use things like draws, sweeps, screens, etc. to great effectiveness.

What did Fort Frye lose and what do they have returning? Haven't heard much from them this offseason.

As far as Caldwell goes, they should improve in several areas but they might take a step back in an area or two. Todd at LB is going to be really hard to replace, and i'm not sure who they'll use to move into that spot. Sayre should improve and he'll have a big target at TE with Morris. They'll need some new WR's to step up though as I think they lost a couple to graduation.
