OVC & SOC Merge Talk

[MTSWNGRVSG]

Maybe some want away from the 3 Ws and big 4 in the OVC? Just a guess! Don’t se why SV would be interested!

[MrPerfect]

LoL what a joke!

[Beergogglebluez]

Lol who’s the big 4 in the ovc.

[art_vandelay]

Lol who’s the big 4 in the ovc.

Ironton, Fairland, Gallia Academy, and Portsmouth.*

What’s this about?

Not a fan of Valley joining those teams really. I'd rather see Valley, Minford, Northwest, Piketon, and some others stay together and form something, maybe add some schools, but we will see.

If this is true that is not good news for Portsmouth. I think the OVC is the best reasonable fit for us. Soc isn't likely to ever admit us, FAC is too big, SVC and TVC would be crazy to admit us for travel reasons.

People constantly put Portsmouth on the upper tier of realignments. I wish we were there but we are not. We can’t beat wheelersburg, ironton, Jackson. I’d love to Compete with them but Trojans are not like they were early 2000s. Portsmouth had a lot of rough years but have improved the past few years. Ovc is the perfect fit.

So if they were to hypothetically merge , you telling me Portsmouth wouldn't fit in with this group..
Portsmouth
Valley
Minford
Oak Hill
Rock Hill
Chesapeake
South Point
Northwest


From a Competitive Stand point that would be a pretty good start.

No south point and Chesapeake. I think they need to be in the lower tier but in basketball they compete very well. Portsmouth should be with west, minford, northwest, fairland, valley. It doesn’t matter really because ironton beats burg but we play ironton. I think I’m confused now lol.

[baseball16]

Wheelersburg
Ironton
Port. West
Fairland
Waverly
Gallia
Jackson If they would leave FAC
Makes for a Pretty good Upper Tier Division. If somehow Jackson was coaxed into leaving the FAC which I think they would entertain this idea that is a pretty good division from a competitive standpoint.

Ironton won’t be involved in this I’m pretty sure.
I think the whole reason this might happen is because some of these schools want to get away from Ironton.
Well… not the whole reason, but a lot of it.

Maybe the bigger schools you mention would look at it different. But I don’t think so.

Funny, because most of the SOC schools want to get away from Wheelersburg. LOL

I think another snag is teams want to get away from wheelersburg too, them and ironton will probably be 2 losses. Add a division 3 Jackson that’s prob another loss.

Which is a GREAT reason those 3 go together. Waverly and Gallia would stay in it. They would be able to compete a lot of the years with those 3. Then it would come down to WEST or Coal Grove . Fairland I think would want to stay as well.

[OVC]

Is Sam Gue still the OVC President or did he give that up when he became the Superintendent of South Point?

[Blitz]

I can sum this up with THREE words:
1. NEVER
2. GONNA
3. HAPPEN

[Beergogglebluez]

Someone posted they heard rock hill bottled to leave the ovc. Wonder if any other action is happening in the conference

I was able to verify there was a meeting about their league status, not sure how much of this is conjecture and how much is facts.

What part do you think is never gonna happen?
Because it looks like Rock hill is ready to do it.
Maybe the entire conference won’t join, but there will be some that leave only be because most schools are trying to get away from Ironton.

We might start seeing some shuffling very soon
