is there any chance of any additional seating being available for this Friday? I don't wanna get ahead of myself...but I'll go out on a limb and say that the place will be PACKED! And I know at the previous games they have been very strict about any standing room, or extra foot traffic in the end zo...

Athens needs to keep their focus and go one week at a time....that being said, I think they should win this game handily :122249 . Go Bulldogs, just win baby!

Neither team will be short for motivation this week. Alex/Athens games are always pretty hyped up and the players know each other and see eachother around town so it adds a little excitement. I wouldn't completely rule out the Spartans after their first loss...yes they played an extremely soft sched...

Fair enough. I misunderstood a few of the things you were saying. That's great that you're a dedicated fan; however keep in mind, these are high school KIDS after all. I think at that age it's fairly easy to be a little distracted and 'unfocused'. And I know we're used to the amazing success Athens ...

Alexander's strength of schedule is #716 in the state, which is from what I gather, very few away from the worst schedule in the state of Ohio. And yes, their playoff hopes are gone. Holy Crap!!! I guess I don't really know other numbers to compare that to, but that is pretty low. Sometimes it pays...

BIGHITSINC-- you're right, that is true. I may have jumped the gun a bit on that comment. But still, I mean it's not like Vinton county was trying to lose the game...they fumbled for a reason, threw interceptions for a season, and allowed us in the endzone for a reason. Because Athens is the better ...

uhh yeah, small type-o there on my part. Whoops! And yes Nelsonville handled Wellston all the same as I think Athens will. But my point here is that people so far had tried to stress that Alexander's competition wasn't that great; and it showed tonight.

I mean Athens put up 40 points and pitched a shutout on defense. ... and you said "Athens didn't really play well in this game at all" 2 posts ago. Im sorry, but what kind of a fan are you????!!! Not happy w/ a 40-0 win??? You've talked up Alexander and Nelsonville all season...are you eve...

very nice....good win for Wellston! Hate to say "it ain't so" when ppl said that Alexander hadn't played anyone. I mean this win makes them look pretty bad after Athens absolutely had their way w/ wellston.

Go Falcons baby!

NY, you're right I didnt think about that. Because obviously many of the same people would like to see both games. Oh well...i guess we'll get a taste of that week 10 at Athens. That atmosphere should be about the best high school football can ask for.

Dundas- thanks...i was curious about that. Must have been 2007 that I remember our scrimmage vs. vinton county and i thought you had a good team.


And man, this is exciting talk both for Nelsonville and Athens to be thinking about home playoff games.

I'm not taking a shot at VC here, but I really am just curious....when was the last time the Vikings had a good football season? I know when I was in high school 4 or 5 years ago we scrimmaged them and they were pretty solid.

and conference realignment just keeps on trickling down to the high school level....man, football sure is contagious whenever it changes.

Go Bulldogs! Like most football fans in the area, i would love to see Athens and Nelsonville both undefeated when they meet. Are most of Athens skill players seniors? I'm not very familiar with this years team.

-questionmark and 93bulldog, thanks for the stats. I was just curious and hadn't followed real closely to the numbers so far this season, but it looks like the offense is right where it should be (maybe ahead) through 4 games of the season. They are clearly a running team with Sharp, and having that...

is there an Athens fan who could post some season stats thus far for the Bulldogs? I'm just curious to see their numbers as their offense has been pretty strong.

Another quality win for Athens as they look good moving forward....diamondD1, do you have access to season stats through the first 4 games? It would be interesting to see Sharp's numbers on paper.

Would anyone be able to list the scores of Athens' games thus far?? ...Also could an Athens follower verify if the QB Trey Harris has thrown a pick yet this season?? I would appreciate it.

Excuse my ignorance...but can someone remind me who all Athens has defeated this season?
