Its a complicated process on who to schedule each year - one that can be argued over and over on here. There is a reason why a guy like Dave Boston Jr., who has been around the coaching and scheduling process for years, scheduled a team like Logan. There is a reason why Athens scheduled Warren, Gallipolis, Jackson & Watkins Memorial ... For any of us to think we know more about what coaches should do in terms of scheduling opponents is absurd - coaching is their life - they know what they're doing.
SINCE 2006:
Nelsonville-York ... 0-4 in the playoffs ... 6-0 vs Trimble.
I have watched you on here for a few years now, and seen how you change your point, and the point of other people to suit your arguments or to keep from admitting that someone else may be correct about something. It is entertaining and somewhat comical to watch. I will address each of your arguments here:
I never claimed that playing Trimble, or NC would help prepare NY for the playoffs. Only that beating those teams provides much needed points to get in, and host a game. Much more than beating Logan did. After all, you have to get in first, or it doesn't matter how prepared you are. You made a sarcastic comment, toward another poster twisting what he was saying, about scheduling smaller schools rather than Logan, so I gave a reason why scheduling a smaller school who wins might be a better option. Apparently you are too closed minded to admit that someone else has a point, so you again try to change my point into something I had not intended it to be.
OBTW how did playing Logan work out for NY last year in preparing them for the playoffs? Supposedly one of the best groups of talent NY has ever had, and yet again a first round playoff loss. In fact, NY has never won a playoff game under Dave Boston Jr., even when they played teams such as Ironton, and St. Clairsville who were going to "prepare them for the playoffs." So maybe playing Trimble is not a reason for why they are seemingly not prepared for the playoffs. I make no claim that I know more about scheduling than anyone else. Only that the math proves that playing teams that win 7 to 9 games a season is a good thing for playoff points, even smaller schools, if you can beat them. And playing schools bigger than yours does no good unless you can beat them during seasons when they win some games. At least not for playoff points.
Nelsonville-York (Under Dave Boston Jr.) ... 0- 7 in the playoffs no matter who they have played in the regular season including Ironton, St Clairsville, Crooksville, Logan, Fairfield Union, Newark Catholic, Bishop Ready... All teams, like you said about Logan, that were going to "prepare them for the playoffs." No I know little about scheduling, but it seems this type of scheduling has done nothing to help coach Boston Jr. in playoff prep.
