Week 6 Power Rankings: TVC-Ohio

Posted on:
1.) Meigs Marauders 5-1 (3-0) | Last Rank: 1 | Next Opponent: @ Athens
Meigs’s spotless conference record was at risk when the Marauders fell behind 14-0 early against Nelsonville-York. 32 unanswered points later: Meigs proved its worth atop the conference.
2.) Alexander Spartans 5-1 (3-0) | Last Rank: 3 | Next Opponent: @ River Valley
The Spartans cruised past Vinton County 21-0 with player of the week Brendon Williams returning two interceptions for touchdowns.
3.) River Valley Raiders 5-1 (2-1) | Last Rank: 2 | Next Opponent: Vs. Alexander
River Valley’s defense is one of the few in the conference which can rival Alexander’s. The Raiders allow only 8.5 points per game and Friday’s match-up should yield a low-scoring outcome.
4.) Athens Bulldogs 3-3 (1-1) | Last Rank: 4 | Next Opponent: Vs. Meigs
The Bulldogs have taken care of two consecutive subpar opponents in Vinton County and Gallia Academy, winning those two games 83-13, cumulatively.
5.) Wellston Rockets 3-3 (0-2) | Last Rank: 6 | Next Opponent: @ Nelsonville-York
After a grueling gauntlet of Alexander and River Valley, a game with a struggling Nelsonville-York team may be just what the Rockets need.
6.) Nelsonville-York Buckeyes 1-5 (0-2) | Last Rank: 5 | Next Opponent: Vs. Wellston
The Buckeyes have also faced a rigorous trio of games in River Valley, Logan, and Meigs over the last three weeks. Nelsonville-York was competitive in each of them, but failed to finish strong enough to win.
7.) Vinton County Vikings 0-6 (0-3) | Last Rank: 7 | Next Opponent: Vs. Federal Hocking
The Vikings have reached double-digit point totals just once, but that could change with a match-up against the TVC’s only other winless team.
