Regarding the Arlington Midget incident referenced above: Its hard to take any of those posts serious when people refer so vaguely to what did or didn't happen....IE, "after what happened at the Arlington midget game", "blown out of proportion", "can't be said about the other team", "sounds like a problem". If you think you have facts you have right to post them. If you don't just leave it alone and quit insinuating things.

I know the facts better than anyone! And NO I will not post them on here. If you want to know you can send me a PM and I will fill you in on the facts. I will not post on an internet message board the details-end of story!

Couldn't agree more! Furthermore...Start another thread on it!

Reddevils, I appreciate your post and really wasn't leading to get to the truth as much as I was to just drop the topic. Sounded like a topic to bash another school, and that is not normally in my wheel house. I agree with you that it should probably not be posted on a message board.

I'm on your side brother.

The Arlington players conducted themselves with class through the entire ordeal, which can't be said for the other team they were playing.

You may or may not know the whole story, I don't know any of it but by this post sounds like you are saying without a doubt the Arlington players were perfect and in no fault and the blame should fall on the other teams 5th and 6th graders which had no class in based on your post. I would like to walk away with the belief that it was parents, both sides or one side.

Classic, I love the holier than thou approach what would you expect from a- town. Reddeviland tiger get a room would you. Actually I have a question for you tiger. Looking at the region your Eagles are in what do you gain by constantly beating d 6 &7 schools when your in a region with Huron, O-G, Coldwater, Creston Norwayne all of teams which I' ve seen play multiple times and your not even on the same planet as those programs. Honest question?

[playmaker]

So 28-14 is not the same planet huh? Your post is laughable. And out of all teams you select norwayne? I figured recent playoff success would end ignorant comments like this

As playmaker said, we have only had one playoff game at this level and lost 28-14. Huron was flat out the better team last year, but that was not that bad of a showing for a team that was probably down from the year before. As far as the regular season schedule goes scheduling Wynford and Bowling Green (and dropping the likes of Hardin Northern) will help. McComb, Arlington, Van Buren and in recent years Leipsic have provided LB with good competition. Do I like playing CR,Rivedale and Arcadia....not particularly. But in PH's prime they played Swanton and Montpelier, it is what it is. You sound like you have an ax to grind with everyone that posts on here cropduster.....that's too bad, most people are just sharing thoughts and factual info. I am truly dismayed that HN has taken such a downward turn, their are a lot of good folks over that way. But, the downward turn is your own issue to deal with.....not Arlington's nor LB's.

It's not my issue, the post had nothing to do with HN we had our day in the conference it's everything about the Eagles. I don't have any axe to grind just read this $&@! on here and wonder how you can expect playoff success when you play in a league that doesn't benefit your Eagles come Week 11.Playmaker go watch a game other than the blowouts you see/play every week.

I think you wrong cropduster...It's all about building a stronger, more competive conference....Hopefully from with in...You look at the MAC, they have 3 different division repr. in their confrence and you don't hear anyone conplaining.How many state champs have come from there?

LB 28-6 and 15-7 over Wynford and BG. Hardly blowouts. And I've seen my fair share of high quality division one and two football games over my time.

As for playoff success, I think LB's track record speaks for itself. Numerous deep playoff runs the last ten years. But alas, they lose one first round game in ten years and all of a sudden they don't have playoff success.

The same can be said for Arlington and McComb. What do they get out of playing vanlue, Cory, etc? I know they are at least D7, but they still somehow manage to to have success in the playoffs playing the same competition. You must just be a salty troll.

[Shotgun_Blues]

Listen, I'm no LB fan... But damn
But it's hard to argue against their playoff success.
Their HISTORY speaks for itself.
15 playoff wins, appearances in 2 state semi-final games, and one state runner-up...
OK They're no kenton wildcats... But still

I would expect more respect from someone who shared the hallways with the great "tinman" Touchdown Timmy Nichols.
I thought if anything HN alumni were loyal

No Ridgemont fans to trash talk this week?

[falconfan84]

Ok...so here's a few questions...and a slight change of subject...regarding the expanded BVC:


How was it determined which schools were to make up the "Blanchard" and "Valley" divisions of the BVC?

Does the BVC keep these divisions for all sports (like, will we have a separate Blanchard champion and Valley champion in baseball, basketball, etc.), or is it just to give football the ability to play extra OOC games and leave the other sports alone as a single champ?

Will we ever see realignment of schools crossing from the Blanchard division to the Valley division (and vice-versa), or will the schools keep to their respective division and only move between the upper ("Haves") and lower ("Have-Nots") levels within the divisions?

And lastly, how often will any rearrangement happen? For some schools, dynasties aren't part of the norm, so you might have a team that comes out of nowhere one year and does great. Does the result of one or two great years move them up to the upper level for football the next year (after the talent graduates)? I'm not real big on having constant changes all the time, but it might make sense to have any rearrangement done on a yearly basis, to keep in line with the current talent level, if possible.

[playmaker]

I believe they split it up based on whatever the formula is they used. For instance, teams 1,3,6 are in one half and 2.4,5 in the other and so on. I'm not positive but I think they did it like this or similar to it at least. And I think they recalculate the rankings ever 2 years. Again, I don't know for sure, but this is my understanding.

[Hillstone]

Why doesn't the BVC have a league web site were some of this issues may be addressed or do they? A site with records, scores, and etc. Some of the other leagues in the state provide this. Just was inquiring.

The one question I didn't see answered was how often they will realign the divisions.

I wish there was. I'd like to know where Austin Rettig stands in comparison to guys like Bame, Ridgeway, Sprunger, etc

School records are probably pretty shoddy though. I know a few years ago Cory-Rawson was trying to compile a record book but a whole decade was missing.

And no I'm not volunteering to do a website. 1. Wouldn't have the first clue how to do it. 2. Mrs bob22 would shoot me.

This is a good point Panther. A lot of other conferences have a similar make up to their conferences in relationship to divisions. Below reflects a few conferences in the area and the teams divisions within the leagues, for instance the BVC is made up of D7, D6 and D5 schools. Others are:

NWOAL D4, D5, D6
WBL D3, D4, D5
MAC D5, D6, D7
NWC D5, D6, D7
N10AC D5, D6, D7
NBC D4, D5, D6

I think these are all correct......Long story short, 3 division conferences are more the norm than the exception.
