Thoughts??? Don’t know much about Lancaster other than they are Division 1 and have to play the likes of Pick Central and North etc.

That wasn't much of a game. What's going on up there?formerfcfan wrote: ↑Sat Feb 09, 2019 8:55 pm What the hell, Lancaster? You schedule Athens with the expectation it’d be a “sure win”, and you crap the bed?
It was nice to get a win. But I think I would have rather watched paint dry.Raider6309 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 09, 2019 9:09 pmThat wasn't much of a game.

Lancaster was also handled by Philo. They've also played two real crappy D4 schools this season. Program is in shambles and has been for years.Raider6309 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 09, 2019 9:09 pmThat wasn't much of a game.

Probably lose a lot of players to FU, Bloom-Carroll, Fisher Catholic, Fairfield Christian etc.bman wrote: ↑Sat Feb 09, 2019 10:09 pmLancaster was also handled by Philo.

It’s not that they lose “a lot of players”, although Conley at FU is one (General Sherman for JR high, I think?) and one of the guards at FC is another.VisionQuest wrote: ↑Sat Feb 09, 2019 10:13 pmProbably lose a lot of players to FU, Bloom-Carroll, Fisher Catholic, Fairfield Christian etc.
That’s a sad state of affairs.formerfcfan wrote: ↑Sat Feb 09, 2019 11:34 pmIt’s not that they lose “a lot of players”, although Conley at FU is one (General Sherman for JR high, I think?) and one of the guards at FC is another.VisionQuest wrote: ↑Sat Feb 09, 2019 10:13 pmProbably lose a lot of players to FU, Bloom-Carroll, Fisher Catholic, Fairfield Christian etc.
It’s just a complete mess that’s going to take years to recover from. Horrible biddy program for the longest time, little talent, no real solution at the head coaching helm... also doesn’t help that the football players are discouraged from doing hoops.
Seems like the community doesn’t care. A lot of the Lancaster people left at halfformerfcfan wrote: ↑Sun Feb 10, 2019 12:05 am I just have a hard time thinking Kent Riggs, yes, of Canal Winchester fame, is going to come back next year. I think the administration realizes it’s going to take years and Riggs may indeed be ‘the guy’, but he’s fighting an exhausting uphill battle. He’s 16-51 so far there, LHS will probably lose the final two which will make it 16-53 and a bunch of those wins are teams they shouldn’t be playing in the first place.
Lancaster may not even be the best team in Lancaster. The more embarrassing thing is Lancaster isn’t interested in playing BC, FU or FC, but they’re eager to play KIPP, Patriot Prep, BIS/Fairfield School for Boys etc. Sad!
Like you said, this is a rebuild from the ground up and it's going to take years. This has to be hard for Coach Riggs to go through with all the success he had at Canal Winchester.formerfcfan wrote: ↑Sun Feb 10, 2019 12:05 am I just have a hard time thinking Kent Riggs, yes, of Canal Winchester fame, is going to come back next year.
