Nice article.

Who is going to break the news to Paladin that there is YET another D1 prospect on the Athens team and YET another D1 player in SE Ohio.

[moonshine]

To all you professionals , how far does Athens make it?

If I was a professional, I would be hanging out in Vegas driving a Ferrari.

Who knows how far a team can make it.

In my professional opinion I think Athens will be done after they lose their first game during the playoffs.

Look to get to the regional finials!

Classy athens Bulldogs put up 82 on fellow league team wellston.

[Blackjack]

Wow... to score 82 with a running clock. Believe that is called running up the score.

[galliagrad89]

I believe the JVs played the 2nd half and scored 4 times. Are they supposed to not play?

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

this fighting tigers has nothing but respect for the green dogs, they have turned into an amazing d3 power.
can't wait to possibly see an Athens/Jackson game for a regional matchup.but props to all you green dawgs. I hope one day somehow we can get some ironton/Athens games going again. ya'll blew my mind againt stuebenville's big red, I'd have loved to have seen that one------anyhoo , carry on.

[ucantcme]

They were still throwing the ball up 65. They will not play ironton. Ever.

Coaches who allow their teams to run up the score usually rationalize their wins by saying that they can’t keep their players from scoring, especially when non-starters are playing. This rationalization demonstrates that these coaches lack not only character but the ability to use the experience as a teaching lesson. In sports such as track and field and swimming, coaches whose teams are winning by a large margin will typically have their top athletes compete in exhibition status instead of scoring. In sports such as basketball, coaches can be creative by requiring a minimum number of passes before a shot, no shots in the lane, no three-pointers, no fast breaks, and no pressing. In soccer, coaches can require that scores come only off of headers or by using the opposite foot. In football, the passing game should be eliminated when a team is close to running up the score. It is in these situations that coaches should present their athletes with the opportunity to work on skill development in areas that may need improvement.

Coaches who run up the score may think that their victories will be perceived by the public as great coaching feats, but in reality the opposite is true. Coaches who do this, and administrators who allow coaches to run up the score, are only remembered as being classless and self-serving. Some states, such as Georgia, have implemented a “mercy rule” in designated sports at the high school level, where if certain point differentials occur, the length of the game is reduced. Unfortunately, this type of legislation may be the only way to force unthinking coaches to realize that running up the score at the high school level and below is unacceptable.

But I'm sure the posters on seop know more than this guy.

[Bighitsinc]

I can't see you but I sure do agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's called CLASS, get ya some of that!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jakefromstatefarm]

If you don't want scored on, then play defense and stop it.

[Bighitsinc]

OR just get some CLASS and do the right thing

[Raider6309]

I guess Athens could have taken knees. Athens scored 8 running Tds and had 273 rushing yards

[ucantcme]

Every GOOD staff knows how not to run up the score.

[Bighitsinc]

Unless they have NEVER been in that position before, such as the case here
