Region 19 top ten...

[Incognito]

Im surprised that Oak Hill is still up pretty high. You would think playing a D-6 would bring them down.

Oak Hill's teams (the ones they beat) keep winning. I think people make too much about divisions sometimes. They are important , but not as much as people make them out to be sometimes. You are only talking about a .5 point difference from level 1 points beating a division 6 school than a division 5 school. It is better to beat division 6 school that wins some games than to beat a division 5 team that doesn't win many.
People keep forgetting how the point system works (not implying that you are one of them). It doesn't matter who the teams you beat end up defeating as long as they win some games so that their level 1 points increase. The team you beat may beat some really bad teams that don't win many games, but as long as they keep winning, it gives you points. I believe this is why Oak Hill's position has stayed pretty high.

I was curious so i looked up the mathmatical values and understand now. Thanks!

Burg still in 9th place. I really figured they would crack the top 8 after tonight. They have to win next week. If they win they should pass Nelsonville who will get very little points out of 1-8 Vinton County and if LU loses to West Jeff they will probably drop out to.

If Caldwells beat a 7-1 Rosecrans team they could pass the Burg and put the Pirates in 10th.

Wheelersburg has be rooting for Rosecrans and West Jeff.

What's wild is that if the Burg were DIV and in region 15 they would be in 6th place and probably finish in the top 4 with a win next week.

Coming down to week 10 to determine if you continue or get out the roundballs. Cant get any better from a fans standpoint. Gotta love it

No im sure NY will stay in watch and see

First game of the year Chief.

[ninjstar]

but its still is the fact that he was ineligible and they would lose that game

[NewEra]

but its still is the fact that he was ineligible and they would lose that game

And they did captain. Week 1

[burgbball]

The points are not complete yet as VASJ does not play until Saturday so burg could get more L2 points

[buckeye_master]

whats the chances of nelsonville staying in anyone know?

It was the River Valley game they had to forfeit which gave RV their one and only win. Minford would be 8-1 without the forfeit and RV would be 0-8. That was the only game they had to forfeit since it was cleared up after that. What's a shame is the kid in question only played a couple of downs at the end of a blowout, but rules are rules and Minford did the right thing by turning themselves in.

[ninjstar]

thank you burg i was under the impression the student played most of the season i didnt know it was only the first game minford did do the right thing by turning in the student

If you look at Joe Eital you'll see that if NY wins out they could finish with 18.200 points which means if everyone elses wins out they don't make it. But there are some tough games that could decide it for them one way or another. If Liberty Union loses to West Jeff that would help NY. There are way to many different scenarios to know just what will happen. We'll just have to wait until around midnight next Friday to see what Joe says and then wait for the official word on Sunday from the OHSAA.

Sounds like a ponsi scheme to me.

May not always make sense to all, but it has been used for awhile now. I figured all Burg fans would know how this works. It is not like this is your first rodeo!

[A-Town Big Dog]

Looking at the numbers from what I can see Wheelersburg likely gets in with a win and N-Y will need some help to stay in. I think Liberty Union stands a good chance of losing on Friday but it still may not be enough for the Buckeyes to make it in.

Burg becomes portsmouths biggest fan if phs falls burg doesn't get in

We appreciate that! We would like nothing better than to win and hopefully get both of us in the playoffs.

[yabbadabbadoo]

Burg still has St. Joes playing tonight that could get them a little closer. They have a real good chance of winning.


Next Friday night will be very interesting. Lot of things can happen.

I think NY is the one who is in trouble. They are playing a 1-8 Vinton Co. team and then only 2 of the teams they have beaten have a real chance at winning.

Liberty Union has a tough game with west Jeff. If Ridgewood would have lost last night, that could let some teams breathe a sigh of relief, but since they didn't it comes down to week 10 for a few.

[Mikenmike]

Any idea what the rankings might look like if everyone wins out (except valley) next week?
