Lower Tier Rumor

[mathews99]

I was just reading an article on the Vindicator web site that says their is a very hot rumor going around that Mathews and Youngstown Christian may replace Wellsville and Southern Local in the Lower Tier.

If there is truth to this rumor, I cannot see Mathews making this move unless they are guaranteed to be in the Lower Tier....

If you would eliminate Wellsville and Southern from the league, the Tiers would look like this:

Tier #1
United 194
South Range 172
Crestview 168
East Palestine 160
Lisbon 153
Mineral Ridge 146
Mathews 134
Columbiana 128

Tier #2
Springfield 127
McDonald 117
Jackson-Milton 113
Western Reserve 111
Leetonia 100
Sebring 100
Lowellville 99
Youngstown Christian 53

With gas at $4 a gallon, I can't say I would be disappointed to see all the traveling done away with. However, if we're not in the ITCL, then who are we going to play that would decrease all the mileage? It's very hard to schedule games as an independent...especially once league games begin.
