Re: Offseason Rumblings

From my understanding, Ryan Ohlaker (sp.?), McClain JV coach, will be the next Adena coach.

Re: Offseason Rumblings

The McClain situation is a complete s**t show. AD gives the head coach a great evaluation and then the Board steps in and says we're going in a different direction. If the Board doesn't trust the AD's recommendation, then maybe they should remove the AD as well. None of this surprises me based on th...

Re: Scott Aronhalt (Zanesville) retires after 31 years

Aronhalt is a fantastic coach. Loved watching the Blue Devils dive across the floor to finish their pregame warm-up.

What has happened there? Talent pool must be pretty low.

Re: Jackson @ Hillsboro 1/22

I would say they're playing well because they have won 5 games in a row. Fairfield taking them to OT may have been a situation where the Indians thought they could walk in the gym and dominate a county rival. Didn't happen. I like the Indians by 10-15. IMO, they will have the two best players on the...

Re: Trimble vs Grandview.

Grandview's strength of schedule will play a factor as well. They are in a war night in and night out in their league. I see GH as a 15-20 point winner as well.

Adena coach does a phenomenal job with his guys. Man for man they have no where close to the talent of ZT.

Re: Division 2 Tournament Southeastern

Somebody needs to remind Lucas Davenport his team just beat MT on a tip in at the buzzer. There's never anything ugly about a tourney win.

Re: Rio shootout this Friday

Took one team to Rio and would NEVER go back. Players/Officials were checking phones and eating as they were officiating. I understand they're college kids, but it was embarrasing.

Re: River Valley Job Opening

You build a program by developing your youth and building numbers. You keep some type of consistency with your middle school program (same coaches, teach fundamentals, run same O and D). Schools like River Valley are going to fluctuate in talent year to year, so they need to rely on their program in...

Re: River Valley Job Opening

Personally, I wouldn't want a coach who was only worried about winning. If D2 scares him off, then he's not the right guy. The new coach needs to care about building a program from the bottom up. D2 will be a challenge, but so was D3.

I'm not so sure the BOE doesn't have a change of heart on this one. Seems that the former coach has a lot of support in the community.

Re: Open Coaching Jobs

Marietta is such an intriguing job. It's a great city and in a perfect situation being in the SE district. Moving up to D1 would be a disaster.
