2019 Gallia Academy Blue Devils Outlook

[svac83]

I think schedule wise. this isn't a blue devil thing particularly but in general for a team in a 8 team conference. i think ou need a non conference schedule that you know you can go at least 2-1 at evey year. Ideally unless your team is going to go 0-10 you should schedule 2 teams you can beat and a team that is a reach for you. if every team in your conference would do this basically any team that goes 5-2 in league play would have a shot at a playoff spot. so if your conference is 16-8 in its non conference games you are probably going to end up with at least 3 playoff teams maybe even 4.

Specifically for gallia they need 2 money games every year or that would be ideal for them. The way the schedule has been one year you got river valley and meigs at home for money games and the next year you had point pleasant/Jackson and ironton as your money game. if you loose river valley i am not sure who another money game is you can get. As most teams in our area don't really travel that well. My guess is if not jackson you may look at a athens maybe you could get vinton county or wellston to travel early in season. a stretch may be a minford.


If you dont think they need another money game i would like to see week 2 go back to being what it was for a while where we played like a hillsboro or a icking heights or a columbus or cincinnatti area team. but if i am not sure you want to play a great team there if you have jackson or point on schedule every year.

Why not Waverly? They'd be a tough out and a potential postseason opponent.

Understand? I can remember when Logan came in at 0-3 and won the SEOAL ? But a team that has 45 players in football a small school ! Logan 60 to 70 ? But I under stand ! Point is a power in WV!

How did the scrimmage with Alexander go?

[NoPain23]

I would say the scrimmage went somewhat well. I can’t really get a feel for the offense this year, but the defense looked physical and more athletic than it has in recent years. I’m sure Penrod will have the boys ready to compete with anyone on any night.

How did the scrimmage with Alexander go?

I would say domination

Will there be another scrimmage next weekend?

Will there be another scrimmage next weekend?

I believe Saturday is the ovc preview in Ironton. I think Gallia plays rock hill at 7. Portsmouth vs Fairland at 5, south point vs Chesapeake at 6, gallia vs rock hill at 7 and Ironton vs coal grove at 8. I’m not sure about 2nd and third game times.
