Vinton County 24 years .500+

[Dundas]

Is there any other team in seo that hasn’t posted a non winning season since 2001? Congrats to VC as they maneuvered their way through a difficult season to achieve this historical mark! It hasn’t been easy this year but they persevered!

Lucky for them the TVC was awful outside of Meigs.

Not sure luck is involved in a 24 year winning streak. The TVC has never been a dominant conference top to bottom ever. Vinton County’s non conference schedule has always been brutal in terms of TVC teams. To reach a 24 year mark of a winning record speaks volumes to the school, athletes, coaches, and community. I’ll ask again, name another school with this accomplishment?

Impressive to never be under .500 for that long.

Wasn’t too impressive this year but the streak intact.

Playing Ross County Christian is surprising

Thats how they had a winning year . Playing sisters of the poor.

That is an impressive run. I know most schools in the area can't say that for 10 years let alone 24

This needs to be broadcasted nationwide. No one gives VC credit for all their achievements. All everyone wants to say is they are afraid of Warren, and they play weak Christian school teams and Combs jumped ship when the talent ran out. So what if all that’s true, they achieved mediocre by being.500 for 20+ years and I think they made it to one regional final in that span. What other teams can make such a boast? Viking Pride!

It is impressive. To say otherwise is disingenuous and intellectually dishonest. However, it has been a difficult year for the Vikings. They returned only one player with varsity experience, started two sophomores, and had an all-conference guard get hurt in a freak accident that will cost him a very promising track season. It has been a weird year, but they persevered, finished second in the conference, and have another winning season.

Playing Ross County Christian Academy was a last-minute decision because McClain could not or would not, I am not sure, reschedule a postponed game due to weather. The Vikings did not want to lose a game. RCCA, would not consider "...sisters of the poor..." They are solid and have great athletes. Heck, in this game were three dunks and none by a Viking.

I don’t get putting this down. It is impressive to never really struggle in a season for over 2 decades.

Multiple district titles in that time too, so it’s not just because of playing in the TVC as they have had quality teams in the non-conference throughout the last 24 seasons too.

Do you happen to know the years that they won district titles in?

I believe they won the District back to years in 2016 vs Fairfield Union 53-46 & 2017 vs Unioto 64-63, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Correct. Also 2008 vs McClain.

Fourteen conference titles, eight sectional titles, three district titles, and one Elite Eight appearance since 2000. Not too shabby.

When I THINK of SEOhio hoops Vinton County is in the first round of teams that I mention - outstanding PROGRAM, coaching staff under Coach Combs and now under Coach Kight - top of the line - end of story ... some of the best games EVER played at the Convo have involved Vinton County ... to have a program that has been above .500 for a quarter century straight is incredible - especially in SEOhio where "classes of athletes/players" is hard to sustain and runs in cycles ... the TVC overall is down this year but in those 24+ years the TVC has had many many years of outstanding teams ... I didn't post anything on this thread just because I thought "seriously???" people arguing the "credibility" of one of the BEST PROGRAMS since I've been following SEOhio basketball the last 25 years ... (rolling my eyes)

Spot on P-Floyd. Model of consistency and done things with class. Coach Combs and now Coach Kight do things the right way.
