This league will rival the TVC. Wouldn’t surprise me if they pull some teams away as it’s in a similar footprint to the TVC. Meigs, Athens, NY are all within reasonable distance to these schools. Also, Logan would be much better off in the TSL IMO.countywide35 wrote: Fri Feb 11, 2022 5:16 pm Really glad FF finally a league.
Excited to watch this league and it’s developments thru the years.
A good fit for Logan ?

Re: (New) Twin State League
Wouldn't mind seeing GA in a league like this as opposed to the OVC where it's all an hour plus for travel. At least Point Pleasant would be a close one. GA might be one of the smaller schools, but I think it would be a decent move. Certainly better than playing D-V, D-VI teams every week.

Point kinda of seems an odd ball location for the majority of the schools we are talking about here. Be a long drive thru the week for all other sports besides football. Take PP out of this league. Add Logan. And the other mentioned TVC schools. Be a heckuva league for all sports.
Again, excited to watch this league develope.

Re: (New) Twin State League
True on Point. But if you add Meigs and Gallia as mentioned above, that would help fill in that area. Definitely a lot of different expansion angles for this new league.countywide35 wrote: Fri Feb 11, 2022 7:37 pmDundas wrote: Fri Feb 11, 2022 5:29 pmThis league will rival the TVC.

Would Jackson be interested in this if Gallia, Athens and Logan joined?

Re: (New) Twin State League
Doing a little adding on google. Marietta to Point is 1 hour 13 minutes same as Logan. All the schools to either point or logan is almost identical. I’d say try to get GA, RV, and maybe SG. Both of the Gallia County Schools don’t have 20+ year ties to the TVC. And Gallia academy could get out of the lawerence County league. Yes I know Marietta to Logan is all 4 lane, but is route 7 really that bad of a trip to not attempt to get those schools?
I know what's wrong with it. It's a Ford. You know what they say Ford stands for, don't ya? It stands for 'Fix it again, Tony'.

I don’t foresee Jackson leavin the FAC…had a hard time finding a league to begin with. I doubt the school administrators would want to create theirselves a headache

Re: (New) Twin State League
Yea I get what you are saying. The TVC IMO should have absorbed the SEOAL remnants into a separate division instead of turning them away. But that’s in the past. Jackson does have history with Warren, Marietta and point though. Fort wouldn’t care to play Jackson right now either. If Logan joins the fold, I think Jackson would have an option. Jackson and the FAC have turned out to be a decent conference though.countywide35 wrote: Sat Feb 12, 2022 11:23 amDundas wrote: Fri Feb 11, 2022 10:11 pmTrue on Point.

I don’t foresee Jackson leavin the FAC…when looking for a league prior to the FAC. The Ironmen got ZERO support from the TVC schools to join them…and I dont blame them. Very little sustained success from TVC teams against Jackson. other then Fort Frye I don’t see any of these teams wantin to take on Jackson’s program year n year out for a league title. never say never though.
But I doubt it becomes anything more then the “What-If” game.
Yes I agree. You got my original reply before I edited it all off there.
This league has the potential for sure.

Re: (New) Twin State League
Don't see any value for TVC Ohio leaving for another league. Gallia Academy would fit better in TVC Ohio if they decided to go anywhere. They have many established rivalries in that league.

Re: (New) Twin State League
Jackson is a completely different part of the state. I hardly think they're going to start playing WV Schools.
Re: (New) Twin State League
I would say Jackson is fine with where they are. The TSL is probably looking for schools that are close or easy highway.efarns wrote: Mon Feb 14, 2022 12:04 am Jackson is a completely different part of the state. I hardly think they're going to start playing WV Schools.

Re: (New) Twin State League
100% agree. I'm thinking people see Marietta and Warren in The TSL and are trying to recreate The SEOAL. The TSL seems like it's going to hug The Ohio River to start.noreply66 wrote: Mon Feb 14, 2022 10:11 amI would say Jackson is fine with where they are.

I think they applied with Warren and Jackson. I
have no idea if they would be accepted but I would like it. I have no say or vote.

Re: (New) Twin State League
They have not applied. The seoal applied as a block, but that was after Gallia had declared their move to the OVC.
