OVC & SOC Merge Talk

[Sonny Weaver]

do it

[THEEE_GAME]

After Ironton won the conf everyone would be crying about onside kicks to start games & burg would be on here screaming about their softball team again.

This needs to happen before it's too late. I see some teams bolting in 2-3 years. AD's and Principals for all involved should be setting up a meeting!

Will never happen, why do people keep posting this stuff?

Why do people continue to post stupid 2h!t. 3/4 of the posters on the football forum never played the game. Just a bunch of jock sniffers.

I posted this a couple years ago. My "rough draft" was the following:

SOC 1 (Small School)

East
New Boston
Notre Dame
Green
Clay
St. Joe
South Gallia
Symmes Valley
Eastern

SOC 2 (Middle)

South Webster
Oak Hill
Valley
Northwest
Western
Coal Grove
Piketon
Rock Hill
Chesapeake

SOC 3 (Large Schools)

Fairland
Wheelersburg
Jackson
Ironton
Portsmouth
Minford
Waverly
Portsmouth West
South Point



Would be great for basketball, but would have to make some adjustments in football (possibly 4 leagues so you don't have basically all conference games). 5 of the above mentioned schools don't have football. Could do something like 5-5-6-6 team leagues (making 4 divisions).

[bbjunky81]

On the above mentioned list I also didn't have Gallia. How about this for a 4 division football split?

SOVC 1

Ironton
Gallia Academy
Jackson
Wheelersburg
Waverly

SOVC 2

South Point
Minford
Portsmouth
Portsmouth West
Piketon
Fairland

SOVC 3

Rock Hill
Coal Grove
Chesapeake
Oak Hill
Valley
Northwest

SOVC 4

Eastern Pike
Symmes Valley
South Gallia
Notre Dame
Green
East





I don't think it looks too terrible. Pretty fair in terms of school size + typical talent.

Ovc just needs two tiers. That would fix most of the issues

Can we copy and paste this for next month?

I guess if Ironton fans can do it every 2 days then I’m sure you could wait a month.

Funny stuff right there

I'm tired os this stupid thread. I have no idea why it comes up every year. No one ever says why it should happen. Just they wish it would happen. Well, wish in one hand and crap in the other.

It's been explained plenty of times it's been brought up, now it hasn't been discussed in this particular thread. Also, if you're so tired of it don't click on the thread man.

Why should it happen? One reason I can think of is the school sizes have changed drastically over the last 10-20 years. Might as well try to group schools of similar size together. This would make each division or whatever more competitive. There is no reason teams like Wheelersburg need to be playing teams like Northwest and Oak Hill every year. Maybe years ago, sure, not now. Why not move things about and create new/different conferences to allow teams to join who they want and create competitive leagues?

Not necessarily related to school sizes. It's more competive sizes to me. Teams over the past 10 years that are similar and would actually be able to compete on a weekly basis. But this thread shows exactly why something like this never happens. An idea or suggestion goes off into about 30 other directions, All would never be happy. Instead let's stick with the old plan that is clearly broken from a competitive standpoint.

True, competitive size is more accurate. I know what you mean. Would be nice to see some chances though for sure.
