Athens & jackson will play. They are not avoiding each other, its just a matter of matching up open dates.

People are mad because Athens was presented with a better option & they took it. Any school would have done the same, especially when it made so much sense financially!

I agree with this. Athens didn't kill the SEOAL. Neither did expansion in 2006 FWIW.

How bout taking a look at Marietta for bolting? Zanesville left. Chillicothe went their own way. Ironton wanted out. Even still the SEOAL was stable with Logan, jax, warren, gallia, portsmouth. Five team leagues are not rare, it could have went on. Portsmouth & gallia to the OVC ended the SEOAL, yet you blame a team that left 8 years ago? BS

Marietta leaving was the final nail in the coffin.

Always knew Ironton, Portsmouth, and Zanesville would not be long for this league. Athens was a surprise, but completely understandable. IMO it was the TVC's mistake to send the invite, but you can't put that genie back in the bottle.

Marietta had an administration that came from the ECOL area and when that league looked to expand that admin took it and ran.

If Marietta had stayed - as most coaches, students, and parents wanted - the league would still be around. Even if Gallipolis had left. Jackson, Logan, Marietta, and Warren would have been in a much stronger position to recruit potential members by removing the far west reaches of the expanded SEOAL (Chilli, Ironton, Portsmouth). Those trips were a real bear from Washington County.

I think Zanesville would have been happier with a smaller league (fewer league basketball games, more non-league games) and might have come back. They are definitely looking.

But if your JV team is any good don't expect Athens to play them. It seems that it's impossible to find any players among the 35 on the roster that can play QB when the other team is not horrible.

What would happen now if schools wanted to randomly join the SEOAL? Is the name protected in some way? Could hannancoach announce that his school is joining the league and use the name if they chose to do so?

Maybe the way to save the SEOAL is to make it into a small school league.

Yea, why not bring back all those "small schools" that pulled the old cut-n-run from the SEOAL in the first place? That's a he11 of an idea. But don't call it the SEOAL. A more appropriate name would be the Cowards Conference.

Talked to a guy from Athens a while back and was asking about drive time and he said he didn't play golf.

Lol, you would be in a league/play Marietta and two Parkersburg schools before Jackson (35 minutes away) or Chillicothe (60 minutes away)?

Oh never mind I get it drive longer to play worse schools that give bigger Harbins, nevermind now I get it.

Shameless.

It takes 45 minutes to get to Parkersburg from Nelsonville-York so it's about 30 minutes from Attend high school lol
