The 5 high schools in Vinton County consolidated in 1966 to create the Vinton County Consolidated High School.

McArthur Generals
Zaleski Bobcats
Hamden Engineers
Allensville Bombers
Wilton Jets

McArthur was the only school that played football and were a member of the Mid-Ohio Valley Conference. VCCHS played in the MOVC for its inaugural season before leaving to become an independent. After trying to join the SEOAL but being denied, VCCHS worked with Federal Hocking, Belpre, and Warren to create the Tri-Valley Conference and has remained a member ever since.

When it became Logan Hocking it only came from part of Union Furnace and part of Laurelville. The far south of Union Furnace could have sent kids to Vinton Cty or even Nelson/York. Most of the kids from Laurelville went to Logan Elm. The rest of these schools went only to the 8th grade starting in the late 50s or early 60s. Their 9th through 12th went to a number of schools. Carbon Hill had a lot of kids going to Nelson/York. Gibsonville came to Logan. Haydenville had some to Nelson/York. Murray City could have had some go to Nelson/York. Rockbridge came to Logan with some going to Berne Union. South Bloomingville could have some go to Vinton Cty or even Logan Elm. Ilesboro came to Logan where they probably went to Luarelville. And Websummet? was already coming to Logan.

VERY interesting stuff, have a few from mainly Ross County: Zane Trace's first graduating class was in 1966, the two schools that formed the majority of the new district were Centralia (Bulldogs) and Kingston (Redskins), they also pulled a few students from Adelphi and Laurelville (not sure of their mascots). Adena also began in '66 with the consolidation of Frankfort (Bobcats) and Clarksburg (Indians?)...a few students from Buckskin (Wildcats) may have also gone to Adena, but most of Buckskin ended up at Greenfield McClain. Paint Valley began in the late 50's/early 60's, with the merger of Bainbridge (Polar Bears) and Twin (Wildcats)...thus PV's mascot: Bearcats. Fyi, by looking at the info on Wikipedia, they have a good bit of this incorrect. Not a big deal, but still...

Vernon (township) Vikings. Now part of Bloom - Vernon LSD (South Webster). Actually up until 1988 when the new school was completed it was Bloom High School not South Webster High School. I remember school personel disliked us calling it South Webster High School even though every body did.

Now that the playoffs are here my question is
How long before the state look at consolidating schools.
You have many smaller schools that keep losing enrollment.
And others that are getting smaller.
Ironton it seems is constantly getting smaller as is Coal Grove , Green among others
I know several years ago River Valley was form from consolidation and I believe that was the last local school to be made from consolidation.
The question though is how long before more school districts are brought together ????!
I know Lawrence country has 7 high schools is that a right amount for a county this size or is it to many schools for its population.
Not wanting to argue just wondering.
