Re: Whats the new normal for fundraising ?

I think that only a very few of the biggest high schools in Ohio have their football programs fund themselves.

Even the mighty Massillon Tigers depend heavily on their booster group to help fund their football program.

Sadly, its just a way of life these days for any school sport.

Lirano struggled with his pitches but not his bat. Clear the deck, cannonball!

Re: 65 days till another Hocking Division beatdown

You bring up a lot of points that have nothing to do with the question at hand. In the old days it was tougher to get in true enough but you only had two games to win to get to the dance. Granted first round games are simply Ohsaa fundraisers. But after round one it gets tough and you have to be on...

Re: 65 days till another Hocking Division beatdown

It would be a very short day. In 1980 you had 5 divisions with a total of 727 teams. Only 2 teams per region made the playoffs for a total of 40 teams. So only 6% of the schools had a shot of winning their division's state title. In 2014 you had 7 divisions with a total of 718 teams. 8 teams per reg...

Re: Thoughts on the PVC this year?

3 very good teams playing for 1st place in Caldwell, FF and MC.

In my mind, I give the edge to Caldwell but by the slimmest of margins.

Good luck and good health to all the teams.

Re: 65 days till another Hocking Division beatdown

A lot harder to win a state title now with 8 teams per region compared to 4 back then. Not to mention how many 5 seeds or higher have won state titles who would've never qualified for playoofs back then. Congrats, keep living in the past Just to clear up a misconception...much harder to both get in...

Bucs take 3 of 4 from the Cards and the last 2 were walkoffs in extra innings. "HOW SWEET IT IS!!!" At the All-Star break the Buccos are 2.5 back of the Cards who own the best record in baseball. 3 weeks ago we were 9 games back. The Pirates have the 3rd best record in baseball behind the ...

Another woeful series by the Bucs as they drop 2 of 3 to the Redlegs. Atlanta comes to town for a weekend series. Heading to the 'Burgh for some Bucco baseball this weekend with Mrs B, the fine Pirate lass that she is. I hope we get the ship back on to a even keel and experience smooth sailing. LETS...

Re: "It's A Great Day For Hockey" 14-15 Penguins

No doubt Carey Price is good, scary good. To me, the most impressive award is being picked by the players as the best in the league. On a side note, the Blackhawks, through Stan Bowman, Scotty Bowman's son, have built a powerhouse in the Windy city. 3 cups in 6 years and their lineup is set for year...

Bucs vs Nats game 1 A J Burnett (6-2 1.89) vs Joe Ross (1-1 3.46) Ross making just his 3rd start. I expect another pitching duel as Burnett is pitching lights out. Bucs have never faced Ross and we are struggling to score runs. Win streak at 8 games for the Buccos and the Cards have dropped 2 in a r...

Pirates on pace to win 92 games. Cardinals on pace to win 107. Buccos invade the south side of the Windy City for the backside of the 4 game home and home series vs the White Sox. Jeff Locke (3-3 4.90) takes the hill for Pittsburgh as Bucco pitchers have shutout the other team in 5 of their last 6 g...

Buccos sweep the Phillies but it wasn't easy. Pittsburgh fun facts... Since May 9th the Pirates are a MLB best 21-11. Pirates have swept a MLB best 6 series this season. Bucco pitching is ranked 2nd in the Majors with a 2.83 era. The Cards are ranked first with a 2.65 era. Gerrit Cole is a MLB best ...

I don't follow the NBA much but I hope the Cavs win it all.

Even if they don't, LeBron has made a positive impact on his legacy with this season.

In those 26 games since he is hitting .398. If you think that is good, he is hitting .476 in the last 13 games. H...

As a long time supporter of TVC expansion, I think this idea is great and is very sound for all the schools involved, both current and proposed members. This would allow the TVC to continue to grow into a major player in both southern Ohio (sectional, district and regional levels) and at the state l...

Phillies 3 Bucs 2 Hard luck loss for Lirano (1-3, 2.96). Marte is to blame for this one. You have to know where the runners are and which base to throw the ball to. Marte didn't and he allowed the hitter to take the extra base and turn a single into a double. The batter should have been held to a si...
