Week 4 Power Rankings: TVC-Hocking
By: Emily Rorris
Posted on:
Week 4 brought many key games in the TVC-Hocking. Trimble remained undefeated and continues to dominate the conference. Wahama brought their win streak up to three and continue to be one of the top teams in the conference. On the other hand, Miller and Federal Hocking continued their winless seasons, while the middle of the Hocking is neck-and-neck heading to Week 5.
1) Trimble Tomcats (4-0, 3-0)
Trimble continues to roll through the TVC-Hocking and Friday’s matchup at Miller will most likely be no different. The Tomcats are coming off of a blowout 69-0 win against Waterford.
2) Wahama White Falcons (3-1, 3-0)
After a tough loss in Week 1 the White Falcons are on a three game win streak after Week 4. They have outscored their last three opponents by a total of 104-55, and could add to that total this week against Federal Hocking.
3) Southern Tornadoes (2-2, 2-0)
The Tornadoes snapped their two-game losing streak with a solid bounce-back game at home against Miller. Southern scored a season-high 34 points and held Miller to six points.
4) Eastern Eagles (2-2, 2-0)
The Eagles took home an easy conference win in Week 4 defeating Federal Hocking 26-14. They have lost only two games this season by a combined total of 8 points, and have shown tremendous improvement from last season’s 2-8 finish.
5) South Gallia Rebels (2-2, 1-1)
The South Gallia Rebels have dropped their last two games after starting off the season 2-0. They showed more life in last week's loss to Symmes Valley and have a chance to get back on track this week against Eastern.
6) Belpre Golden Eagles (2-2, 1-2)
The Golden Eagles lost to Wahama 34-20 in Week 4, and while they are mixed in the middle of the TVC-Hocking standings, their upcoming schedule gives them a lot of room to improve.
7) Waterford Wildcats (1-3, 1-2)
The Wildcats have faced some of the strongest defenses in the conference and their inexperienced offense just hasn't been able to keep up. Waterford has been outscored 120-27 in their last 3 contests, including a 69-0 shutout against Trimble in Week 4.
8) Federal Hocking Lancers (0-4, 0-3)
Four weeks into the season, Federal Hocking has struggled to pick up its first win. In the latest attempt, the Lancers couldn’t pick up a win at home last Friday against Eastern, losing 26-14, and their 14 points were a season-high.
9) Miller Falcons (0-4, 0-3)
The winless Falcons continue to struggle in finding their offensive groove, especially on the road, losing by 4.5 points per game at home versus 27.5 on the road. The offense will need to step it up as a whole for the remainder of their tough schedule, scoring an average of just 12.5 points per game.
