SECAL to retain three schools amid shrinking full membership
In a long term setback, the Southeastern Ohio Athletic League plans, for 2015 16, to keep Logan Jackson and Warren as full members while affiliate members join Gallia Academy Athens and Alexander as the league restructures toward an eight member Ohio Valley Conference. The All-Sports Trophy will be retired after this season as the league reduces to three full time members and plans a new setup for All-SECAL awards while the three schools seek new conference homes.
