I don’t know how I feel about Licking Valley competing in Division 3 in my opinion D3 is very tough Division you have some of the best teams in this region.

LV had a fantastic following with great enthusiasm the 2 times Dover played them, I really enjoyed the games despite losing both times in great games.
