Gallia Academy Bluedevils 2022

[Dundas]

Jackson is way too elite for the OVC.

If the OVC ever went Big/Small I could see Jackson joining.

[Tomcat Queen]

Gallia only has 3 non-league games before conference play begins. I honestly wouldn't change much with the current lineup. Meigs and Point Pleasant should be on the schedule every year for gate purposes alone. I doubt anyone in charge at Gallia is in a hurry to end either one of those series. The one game I would like to see resume is Jackson. I've read that they won't play anymore due to Gallia's athletic facilities. That's too bad. I remember them being Gallia's most heated rivalry back in the days of the SEOAL. Meigs, Point Pleasant, and Jackson would be the perfect non-conference schedule for Gallia in my opinion.

Vinton County isn’t afraid to play on grass. I think the Vikings would bring a great gate like the others mentioned. VC brought a great crowd to NY last year in a torrential rainstorm and filled Meadowbrooks bleachers (2 hour drive) in the first round of the playoffs last year. Viking Nation travels well.

I think Vinton was afraid to play Trimble last year. They are on the schedule this year so we will see if they actually play us this time.

I know I laughed too because why be afraid of little old Trimble when you are big bad Vinton. But it is what it is I guess. Pretty sure Trimble has a winning record against them.

A Gallia Academy Vinton County series makes a lot of sense. But make it across all available sports.

Same deal with Wellston. Maybe alternate between those two schools since they're in the same league and would be a similar travel time.

VC and Gallia use to play pretty regular in all sports. Football was really the only one that wasn’t consistently on the schedule which I get because it’s been a long time since the Vikings have been competitive in the fall. I’d like to see an all sports matchup between the two.

get Ironton out and ovc be great conference

[Geronimo]

What about Athens this season ???Burrow country.

[Mulga Roadrunner]

We have played Gallia a few times over the years. Always like when the devils come to town. They bring a good crowd to Wellston. Would be nice to get that game back on the schedule.

[Raider6309]

What about Athens this season ???Burrow country.

We were young last year. Most expected 2021 being a down year. Should be much improved

[MR305]

Gallia Academy as well. Basically a JV team with sometimes 7 sophomores starting on offense and defense. Score should be more of the same this year in Gallia Academy/Athens game. 46/20

[Geronimo]

Ask about Athens ??not GA

[Geronimo]

GA might beat Ironton this season.

That would be something.

Gallia just seems like a mess. I can’t see kicking out your great coach for the rich kid going well

I guess we differ on how we define "mess" and "great". Here's hoping that coaches/fans/players of opposing teams continue to believe that the football program is a mess after the season starts. A lot of misconceptions. More excitement from the parents of players this year than years past.

Yes it would. Probably one of the greatest upsets in Ohio high School football history... But I would love to see it ..

WOW! Sure sign of trouble when you are hoping that the opponents "believe your program a mess." You know I know, so have fun with it.

OVI would get a statue year 1 if that happened
