Re: What will it take for an SEOP area team to rise up to state-level competitor?

Obviously, great coaching is the foundation to a football program. But Ignoring other factors is just ignorant. I only chose this one because it's pretty obviously true. https://stories.usatodaynetwork.com/school-poverty-and-football-success/home/site/statesman.com?fbclid=IwAR1TRXeE1BWAyo7ah0orkMxLE...

You’ve disagreed with me that coaching is the most important factor, and you keep referring back to income.

I did not say that a district just needs to be affluent to have football success, so you can have fun with that straw man all you want.

Re: What will it take for an SEOP area team to rise up to state-level competitor?

You can do that, and maybe we'll both learn something. But other people have done similar research, which I have posted, and you always just disregard it. I appreciate you starting to show some willingness to look at data, but this is also you admitting you formed a conclusion before having the data...

Re: What will it take for an SEOP area team to rise up to state-level competitor?

Professional teams are paid for winning and losing, so they have every reason to do what wins, and none of them runs a basic offense. Major college sports have millions of dollars riding on outcomes and commit millions of dollars to making that happen. There have been division I NCAA football teams...

Has there been a more unlikely playoff run in recent NFL history? There's a great starting lineup on the injury list.

Re: Kirtland vs Versailles

Indian Hill doesn’t have much competition when it comes to income, a category you claimed was critical. Based on that, they shouldn’t be concerned about other schools stealing their talent and coaches. Ironton wouldn’t have beaten Sycamore a few years ago if income was such a large factor. So what ...

I never said coaching wasn't important. I only said that demographics matter. Income correlates to wins.

Re: Kirtland vs Versailles

Wealth does correlate to winning. Obviously, the athletes do need coaching too.

Great example! Trotwood is in Montgomery County . . . The median income for a household in the county was $40,156, and the median income for a family was $50,071. Males had a median income of $38,710 versus $27,297 for females. The per capita income for the county was $21,743. About 8.30% of familie...

Re: Kirtland vs Versailles

Coaching is clearly important. Nobody said it wasn't. Here is a current economic map. Steubenville, for example, has never been economically distressed and has even been a boom town at one time. Jefferson county is not what it once was, but it is not an economically distressed county and is within e...

If it was just about income and jobs, Indian Hill would dominate Ohio football. Indian Hills has tons of schools to compete and take their better athletes in the private schools.

Re: And then there were none

Have no idea how you escalated to this. Thank you for the opportunity to explain. I chose exaggerated illustrations to highlight a principle. The principle is that saying something at the wrong time, even if it's true, is rude and inappropriate. The examples I chose are things that you would never ...
