You’ll have to talk to the tigers about that one. Them and Wheelersburg get a call every year

Wheelersburg scrimmaged you guys, and if they're willing to play Ironton, Russell and Ashland on the regular season schedule, I really don't think they're afraid to play you. OHSAA computer points mean a heck of a lot more for the playoff system that they have in place and the facts are that a win over Raceland doesn't give as many OHSAA computer points as a win over Ashland and Russell would in most years. However, when they agreed to the contest with Russell, they probably wouldn't have believed that Russell would go 0-8 this year as none of us would've.

Obviously in KY it doesn't matter nearly as much, even with the RPI, because that doesn't go into effect until a certain round of the playoffs. The fight for OHSAA computer points is a weekly thing.

They scheduled a Cincinnati private school that went to the state semifinals in 2021 that was a division above them and went on the road to do it and won -- again, I reiterate, why would they be afraid to play you all? Because they aren't. You guys have a great team and would have a shot at beating them this year without a doubt, but don't get ahead of yourselves. Wheelersburg won a Division V State Championship five years ago and people continue to underestimate how good of a program they actually have. They don't run from anybody.

Also, no fan of the Fighting Tigers either, but same with them. They have seven conference opponents. Their three nonconference opponents? Wheelersburg, Jackson (Ohio), Johnson Central. That's as good as you can get. Don't think they are running from you either, although they will probably want you to play at Tanks so they can do the homecooking that they normally do over there.

Who said they were running from us? I didn’t. I just said they get a call every year. I will guarantee you we wouldn’t turn either team down. Talking about point systems. There is less motivation for us to play them because you only get credit for playin a 500 team if they are out of state. Piss in points. It’s all about playing good teams.
