No way Kenton moves from WBL though.

PostPlayer,

I agree with you, they don't want to leave, but they should. Like I said, outside of football, Kenton just don't compete in anything else.

[polkhigh33]

Ahhhhhhhhhhh....we know, we know....you've made this very clear over the last year.

Why on earth would PH leave a league of divisions 3, 4, 5's and a 6, to join a league of all 5's and 6's (and more then likely 7's)?? Like I've said many many times before, league shifting and expanding is about football and football only. Nobody is going to make a league adjustment or expansion without adding point value. Now I'm not saying nobody from the NWOAL will never leave or have not even thought about it, but let's be serious. There has to be a point advantage to changing things up. If not, then its a waste of time. This is why I feel that when all this dust settles, LB will leave and either jump into another league as football only, or go independent.

It's long shot for sure, but if something with three or four BVC schools gets put together I've heard from a pretty good source that PH would at least sit down and listen.

Expansion has passed according to the fine folks at the Courier.

[polkhigh33]

All four schools?

Blanchard Valley Conference administrators have approved expansion. Story coming later tonight.

If the BVC does expand, it needs to with Ada or Bluffton, and Riverdale.

Ada or Bluffton would have to be stupid to leave the NWC.... especially with LCC gone

it sure would suck for the NWC, but, I'm sure some would feel it as 'karma' if it did happen.....lol

[FiredupDevil]

Schools reported by Courier are North Baltimore and Hopewell Loudon

Thought Calvert would get snubbed but held out hope....huge blow to them financially. They will be an Indy now.

[bob22]

Was kind of hoping it wouldn't happen. It would have been fun to see chaos reign.

[HH75]

Arlington must have wised up .... 8-0 vote ..two abstain. Devils held all the cards and the rest called their bluff. Decided that they needed LB more than they hated losing to them!

[polkhigh33]

So did Vanlue and Arcadia abstain? Or was it someone else?

[PostPlayer]

North Baltimore brings ZERO to the table. Not liking it; can't imagine that LB likes it either. What did LB gain on this BTW? HL is D6 correct? NB has to be D7 I would think.

Bottom line - HL will be a nice addition in about all sports, but I for the life of me, cannot figure out why anyone (except the NB faithful) are excited about NB being in the BVC.

[Ericles]

My souce says Vanlue and Arlington were the 2 abstentions.

[polkhigh33]

NB has to be a location thing....it can't be based on successful sports.

[HH75]

Nb allows there to still be an even number of schools for a north/south... east/ west divisions. Lb( and all others) can now schedule more non league games and not play vanlue nb hn. If they cant find any non league games cross division games can fill gaps. Same applys where vanlue can opt out of lb in favor if say usv...

Just needed 2 or 4 schools to make it happen.

Wonder if ada would have jumped in if the dale had just sent a letter back???

[PostPlayer]

Very disappointed in this. How the heck does NB get in and the BVC not be pro-active in recruiting Riverdale who is a much better fit? I don't blame Rdale...they had to play it close to the vest with the Northern 10.
