Re: EXPANDED PLAYOFFS : Who really benefits going forward ?

An eleventh game helps every program who gets it. Going to 16 teams qualifying right away would have been smarter. Create a regular 9 game schedule as a default, but allow everyone to opt into a tenth game a week earlier. I don't like the idea of the last game in the second weekend of December so lo...

Re: 8-0 Sheridan at 5-3 Bishop Hartley

Great matchup. Sheridan has the physicality and speed to hang with Hartley. Should be a good one. Keys to the game is no turnovers and stopping the rushers on first contact. Sheridan is built a lot like the DeSales team that beat Hartley twice.

Guess not. Three man front apparently contained the phenom.

Yeah. They're cool. But you have to mix them in with other stuff. Simple physics. Work muscles differently.

Re: RD2: Western Brown @ Bishop Hartley

Hawks are going to be fired up to #Win For Woo. Defensive line coach Chuck Wooten started assistant coaching at Hartley in 1995 and retired after 2016 season. Son is a Hartley grad who is the wide receivers coach. Long time fixture on the sidelines - he was the guy who always wore the white towel. H...

That would be a smart move. LaSalle is going to need a strong backfill.

RD2: Western Brown @ Bishop Hartley

I watched the WB game against Athens. And I watched the WB shootout against Clinton Massie. The 15 seed is a vast under-rating because the voters never heard of them. I think this could be a trap game. The WB quarterback is a fantastic player. He sees the whole field. If you give him room to run, he...

Re: Region 11

Thanks for clearing up the recruitment areas for each catholic school in Columbus. Interesting info. I skipped St Charles. They can recruit from the entire metro area and beyond. Doesn't help their football program at all, but I hear they field a tough quidditch squad. Another area school that can ...

Re: Region 11

Obviously DeSales and Hartley have the advantage that comes from drawing players from all over central Ohio. That's never been true. DeSales gets northeast side only; Hartley gets southeast side only. And Pickerington has gotten everyone from southeast side since Jerry Francis showed up as "at...

Re: Interesting Ancient History Regarding Ironton and Portsmouth Football

My experience is that the persons that do histories only do their own school and they tend to overlook forfeits either on purpose or they are unaware. Part of that is because the search indexes are incomplete on the websites that have digitized content. When I search newspapers.com or newsbank.com ...

It's the OHSAA that debated including some kind of income factor into CBP not me. I think it's a fair argument that's worthy of discussion.

Re: State Championship 14-0 Kirtland v the 13-1 Ironton Fighting Tigers

Income has nothing to do with how good you are, it’s how hard you work. So you’re saying that Kirtland just worked harder than Ironton? Do you say the same of Catholic schools with families rich enough to pay $10K+ per year? Or do they have inherent advantages? Are they born on third base but think...

Re: State Championship 14-0 Kirtland v the 13-1 Ironton Fighting Tigers

Median household income in Ironton = $34307. Kirtland = $77530. Rich yuppies with off season trainers vs working class scrappers with a cobbled together weight room. Show them you’re the FIGHTING Tigers.

Structural disadvantages predetermine the outcomes of nearly every game in every season. Ironton is doing everything it can with everything it’s got. Nothing but respect for kids, team, town, and region that ain’t going down without a fight.

The human interest story with the cheerleader was nice. My daughter did her pediatrics clinical at Akron Children’s. It was tragic. Bunch of fetal meth babies.

Complaining about something yet offering no solution to fix. Fix? I'm not demanding a fix. It can't be fixed. They can't increase the qualifications to become a ref. We already don't have enough.
