Nelsonville-York 30 Meigs 22

Reading these posts, it sounds like some of those freshman on Meigs team likes to talk. Great flip of freshman, but still freshman. Not sure why Meigs hasn’t done better, especially with a super bowl winning coach running the show.

Meigs Jr. high teams always very good but hasn't translated @ high school level the last few years. I guess we'll see if it gets any better the next couple years ?

I agree it will be interesting. Didn't this years senior class at Meigs go undefeated their 8th grade year? And the most I can see Meigs winning this year would be 4 if they can win the last 2 after losing to Athens and Point.

Both Jr high teams don't seem to be that good this year.
NY beat both of them pretty easily.
Our 8th grade won 43-20 and our 7th grade won 44-0.
We do have a solid 8th grade class so it's hard to say because I don't know either of their Jr high teams records.

He did not win the Super Bowl. God favored the Patriots over his Eagles that game.

He was a long snapper with the Patriots when they won one. He was picked up toward the end of the season that year.

Thanks to Bartrum for going for it on his own 45 on 4th and 5 in the 4th quarter down 1 point with over 7 minutes to go with 3 timeouts.
NY players never quit and came out in the 2nd half and outscored Meigs 20-0 to earn the win.

Yea, Meigs gets rid of a good coach to bring in an NFL guy. NY brings in a rutter. Yea, he put 15+ years in at the school as a teacher, but he's still just a rutter from over the hill. And the rutter once again out coaches the NFL guy. Who would have thunk it? Way to go Rusty and the Buckeye players.

Mike Bartrum played in two Super Bowls but Never won one.

[Orange and Brown]

Looks like he's never gonna win a league title either.

[Bird Dog]

Not sure what that has to do with you saying he won a Super Bowl but OK.

[TVC]

Looks like he's never gonna win a league title either.

What does this have to do with you being proven wrong about him having won a Super Bowl. I hope you are not one of them guys that can’t admit when your wrong so you change the subject.

Yep, he played for the Chiefs then 3 good teams, Packers , Pats and Eagles but with each of those last 3 teams he played with them before or after they'd WON a Super Bowl.

Also and this will be my last post on this but i'm probably older than most folks on SEOPS but all this stuff about Athens and N-Y on these threads and how great they've been, bah !!!!! I'm old enough to remember when Athens was decent and Nelsonville didn't even show up for games. In the old SEOAL days Nelsonville (42 yr) and then N-Y (2 yr) couldn't hardly win a game :
1925-1967 276 games, Won 44-Lost 220-Tied 12 .181 winning pct.
1968-1969 20 games, Won 1-Lost 19. .050 winning pct.
Then they like Athens years later ran off to the TVC at that point so some of you young'uns need to realize the truth and not think these teams just appeared overnight and were always Unbeatable. You also need to remember that the playoffs weren't even thought of till 1973 in football as winners used to be picked by the media and sportswriters so who knows what old SEOAL teams might have done some damage if they had playoffs back in those days.I feel better now and my rants over but my point is they are just good teams in a below average (for the state) league. Bust on me if you wish, I can take it. Thanks for reading.

If you have a problem with our "below average league" then go somewhere else.
Do you even watch any of our teams play?

I am SO proud of you! Oh my gosh, you remembered old teams!? No way!!! Did all that thinking make you ruin your depends? I mean, you ARE MUCH OLDER THAN ANYONE HERE!

this Guy needs out of here. Times have changed bud! NY moved to a smaller league so they could compete with teams closer to their size. And look, it’s worked out! This isn’t the 1930’s anymore bud Nelsonville isn’t a team in the SEOAL that takes a beating, they’ve established a name for themselves and a tradition that holds up as one of the elites around SEO. This forum shouldn’t be for you or any other crackpots to say how bad these TEENAGERS are and how they don’t know football and it’s just a bad league. It’s for discussion on the game, to talk about THESE TEENAGERS in a positive way.....now can you read all of this or are the words too small for you? Can someone read it for you Grandpa!?

Just stating some historical facts and lest you forget, one team does not make a league. Good day !!!!!

No problem with league , it is what it is and I mentioned statewide above. Yep, come down 33 to the old stomping grounds about 5 or 6 times a year for football & basketball games, playoff games and go to the convo about every year for districts. I still have most of my family in the Wahama, Meigs, Alexander and Jackson areas.

Dave Boston came to Nelsonville in 1966. NY would have become a great program regardless if the Buckeyes were in the TVC or the SEOAL because of Dave Boston. The league has nothing to do with it, it's the coach that turned NY into a powerhouse.

Dave Sr., Hall of Famer, great coach no doubt, great program "yes", numerous TVC titles and a state title in 81 and that is a lifetime memory for the district but was 12-26 in 4 years in the SEOAL before leaving. If you guys think they could have won the SEOAL with the Ironton teams in the 70's and 80's and Jackson, Gallipolis and Logan teams in the 80's, 90's and 2000's i agree to disagree. Anyway, hope N-Y wins out and gets in the playoffs this year as they're improving weekly. (Not trying to offend anyone so don't take it that way please). Thank You !!!!!

It takes a few years to build a program. Boston coached his first four years in the SEOAL and was SEOAL Coach of the Year in 1966. NY didn’t win the TVC immediately either. It took awhile to build the program from the ground up. It wasn’t until the mid 70s that NY established itself as a strong program.

NY defeated Logan in years Logan won the SEOAL. In ‘94, NY defeated both SEOAL Champion Logan and 2nd place in the SEOAL Jackson.

All the while being much smaller than most of the schools in the SEOAL. Of course NY loses to Logan more than winning when factoring for size difference.

For that matter, NY is closer in size to TVC Hocking schools than most of the TVC Ohio schools, yet NY has dominated the TVC Ohio over the years. NY can overcome size difference to a point. But once it’s a big difference, I don’t see how anyone could expect NY to have a winning record against much bigger schools.
