2020 Gallia Academy 47 - 6 Rock Hill

[Beergogglebluez]

I read ironton is not a good fit for the ovc what about Gallia they are division 4. They seem to run the table or beat on ovc schools but lose first round every year of the playoffs. No disrespect to the blue devils but maybe play up and move to a different conference. Playing D6 schools and D5s that are almost 6s don’t help. Maybe there’s no way to change conferences? They have some really good kids. Armstrong is a monster.

Cant agree more. Big time players, make big time plays, in big time games. Our top players have not shown up over the years in these type of games. Your best player on defense is a freshmen in Cole Hines, that's a shame when you have 15 seniors on this team. The season is over, start building for the next few years with your freshmen, sophomore and junior classes.

RR 304 those freshman are special

How were those freshmen in Jr. High ball?

30-2 over the last 3 seasons.

gallia, jackson, ironton, portsmouth, wheelersburg and fairland should all be in the same conference. competition would make all
of those schools better.

GA last year and this year had/have very good teams and could've won the OVC or old SEOAL any of the last ten years

Ironton, however, was and is elite. Generational talents all over the field. They could've won a state title in any of the last 5-10 years with that level of talent.

Gallia is very very good. Ironton is just that much better right now. Not much else to it.

To your point though, I'd love to see Jackson, GA, Ironton, maybe Logan, Chilli, and Athens all join a league. Maybe throw in Burg or Waverly

I have a different opinion about this year's team, not saying other posters are wrong, I respect everyone... I believe we have a descent team, but not that great.. I don't care how good ironton is we shouldnt get blowed out by 50 pts two years in a row and then get blower out in our playoff game last year... I have followed gallia for approx 40 some years and wouldn't even put this team in the top 10.. The remaining schedule is weak and we should cruise through it without a close game. 5-1 should get us a top seed in tournament and maybe a couple wins...

[Geronimo]

Superblue I got a few years followed myself. ! I can't put them in the top 10 NO way!

[superblue]

Been kind of off topic. Over the last 4 years we have split with rock Hill.. On paper we are a heavy favorite, if we don't come to play maybe there could be an upset.... I doubt it, gallia by 40..

[NoPain23]

Not that hard to understand gallia... Everyone says they have plenty of talent, some believe we have 4-6 players getting D-1 looks.. My question would be where are these players come game time? The talent needs to step up, yes ironton is the class of southern Ohio, but if gallia is really that talented we shouldn't be getting our butts whipped by 50 pts or so... Gallia will run the table and fans will be happy..... May even win a few tournament games..

That's what I don't understand. ??? Where are they at game time ???

Don’t really think you know what you’re talking about... Hines is good but by far from the best defensive players on the teams. GA isn’t great defensively but they have good players. How’s the season over? The boys still have plenty to play for. Playoffs are important too. Maybe RV should give up on the year but Gallia shouldn’t.

Don't be bashing on RV, that's just being ugly. These boys play hard, I just wish the coaches would make the changes we see from the stands, to make the team better.

Good Luck GA !

If you’re talking about GA coaches I agree, if you’re talking about RV coaches I agree.

With all due respect,if Gallia has 4 or 5 D1 players I’m Tom Selleck or Ironton could beat the Bengals.

[JChipwood]

Gallia by a bunch. Somehow we have to use the rest of the season to get our best 11 players on the field together on both sides of the ball as much as possible to prepare for the playoffs. Also need to find our offensive strengths against good competition. Its def not a one back set with no presnap disguise to our intentions. That puts the kids at a huge disadvantage

[artisgilmore]

They should not participate in the playoffs.They will get blowed out again.

[MisterGalliaGuy2016]

Depends on their draw. If they get a Licking Valley or Waverly type team, then yeah, we're looking at a running clock to start the 2nd half. Who knows. They might get a favorable draw, if enough teams in the region opt in. If not, I'd like to see them at least play a full schedule.

Top 10 Gallia team all time not a chance but a solid team who should win out. 10 D1 prospects? We all know the one tackle who is a SR has over 10 D1 offers on the table so that is one. The running back has to get his testing in order I think he will get 1-2 offers somewhere. the other tackle will get an offer when time come I think he is a Soph 6'7" 315. Also the freshman class has about 4 kids that has good upside I think the kid playing wide out will prob not end up at wide out but does have huge upside. So maybe 4 kids have D1 futures I may be off there are some hard working kids if things fall in to place may get some offers in the future but those 4 have the best chance in my opinion. As far as tonight I think Gallia by 30+

Kenyon Franklin at wideout #9

Dakota Siders/Center Freshmen
Cole Hines/Linebacker Freshmen
Kenyon Franklin/Wideout Freshmen
Hunter Shamblin/Tailback Freshmen
Hudson Shamblin/Quarterback Freshmen

All 5 of these kids if they continue to grow and are put in the right scheme will see D1 offers in the future.

Wait , you think Gallia would’ve beaten Jackson last year and this year ?
