you sound too much like hawkeye..

Sweet Pea, your preoccupation with me, is nerve racking. Should I be flattered or worried?

But if VC is EVER going to get out of the district (or sectional - at times) with their weak TVC sched. They need to play a non-league schedule like - Portsmouth, Logan, Warren, Chilly, Gallia, etc.... teams of that caliber. And there is no reason to not schedule ALL 5 next yr. - you don't have to play the small tvc teams anymore. Granted you won't be 19-1 at the end of the yr. But if you can go 3-2 (or 2-3) against those 5 solid non-league teams, then you have built a foundation to suceed in the STATE tourny - not just set your sights on the sectional championship.

Here we go again. I thought I have settled this issue for you two months back. IMO regular season SOS does not translate to tournament success. Obviously in your opinion the possibility of being better prepared for a tournament run could be argued with a difficult schedule. However, I, for one, disagree with that assessment. Because I have said it before and I will say it again; "There is a fine line between scheduling to be competitive and tested than scheduling to be beaten and discouraged."

And if you have more losses, (there is no such thing as a QUALITY loss), then you have the potential to have an lower seed and a more difficult road through your sectional and district.

Another thing, no one complain about our schedule last year. And it is not our fault that Jackson lost players to a neighboring school, it is not our fault that there were disciplinary issues at Southeastern, it is not our fault that Belpre, Zane Trace and Waverly underachieved.

Please put your energy into something else besides bashing Vinton County and Vinton County's schedule.
