Re: OHSAA Football Playoff Structure Survey Sent To Member Schools

I liked the 12 team concept when it was first introduced. However, since using the 16 team format I do recall a 16 defeating a 1, a 15 over a 2, several 14’s over 3’s and 13’s over 4’s….. to me that justifies in the State ‘s mind to stay with 16 teams

Re: Minford vs. Lutheran East

Hope so! Minford with the long hike to St.Clairsville to play the defending state champs Lutheran East out of Cleveland. Interesting that South Webster was also paired with the NE Ohio private school in D7. The state final 4 pairings have been predetermined in the past but clearly not any longer….. ...

Re: What is it going to take for Wheelersburg to be competitive with Ironton again?

For 2025 if I’m Woodward I’m either going all in on some power running wing-t, or, I’m spending the offseason season turning Kenyon Evans into a run and throw spread QB and going 4-5 wide running a up tempo spread. I actually like that idea! But it won’t happen with the QB returning. Burg also lost...

Could happen
The D5 Regional at OU does not include a Central District team this year which means no Africentric or Harvest Prep
2 Southeast and 2 East District teams will make up the Regional
So the door is open for someone, might as well be Minford

Re: Valley @ Wheelersburg 2/4/25

Minus the West game, the Indians have been on a roll as of late. Only issue I see for them is that they only use 6 players. Be nice if they had a bench they could use to keep legs fresh throughout the game. But after their 6th man, it's JV players. I don't keep up with the basketball team as much a...

Re: Ironton Scheduling problems?

what have i missed, is the ironton/burg series in peril. or is it just the game is getting moved to later in the season. i'd hate to see this series in jeopardy. With the addition of Northwest back to SOC II, it created a week for a non conference game in the latter half of the season. For Burg, it...

Burg reached out to Fort Frye 2 years ago but they declined….. Burg ended up with Harvest Prep for 2 year deal

Re: Wk 14: (9-4) Wheelersburg vs. (12-1) Ironton

How come ironton posters keep saying that the only way that ironton won't win it all this year is if they don't play a clean game or shoot themselves in the foot ?? That's part of the game either you play good or you don't and usually when you play bad imo it's because the other team is just as goo...
