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.

Re: 14th annual “Are power cleans good for footballers debate?
Yeah. They're cool. But you have to mix them in with other stuff. Simple physics. Work muscles differently.

Seems like a no-brainer. Carrico has earned it.

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...

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 ...

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.

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

Re: State Championship 14-0 Kirtland v the 13-1 Ironton Fighting Tigers
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. Kudos for Tigers for not having it be strictly a tourism trip. Kirtland is a machine. Forget the scoreboard. Tigers are playing tough. Tell ...

You post in one post complaining about them and saying terrible and in another you say well I understand it's not going to be great, don't ride the fence you're on one side or the other. It is both. They aren't contradictory opinions. High school officiating is terrible, and I expect that when watc...

Re: Refs Blow It
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. You take a class and pass a test - you're a ref. There's no fitness requirement. You'll see fat slobs o...
