Pretty sure Notre Dame handled Green this year in Junior High.

I don’t think it is a debate that ND and Clay are going to be the top two teams for the next few years to come. They have a solid team currently and continue to have more talent coming up behind each class through the JH. SV has a lot of talent with only losing 1 senior so they are a solid 3rd for the next few years at least. Some people just want to debate whether they have a 4-5 or lower but that really doesn’t matter. If you aren’t a top contender than you aren’t competing whether you blame youth or any other number of factors. Some people like those participation trophies though because they played the games also.

I wonder what trophy your kid didn't get. You've been all over this trophy thing for a while.

Has it been about 10 years since anyone but clay or ND won it ?

Probably unless Symmes Valley snuck one in there.
I've never once said Clay or Notre Dame aren't the teams to beat. I just also acknowledge that programs like Eastern, New Boston and Green aren't really pushovers anymore. People get stuck on one or two schools and guess what.. kids read these forums, they hear people talk and a belief is created that you have to attend these schools to succeed.

There hasn’t been a trophy that I felt my daughters haven’t received that they deserved that they didn’t get. I have never stepped foot on a field to coach them on a team either. I work with both of them at home which is where parents should be doing in HS. They have went to the same school their entire life and grew up playing with the same girls since tee-ball. They will earn what trophies or awards they get on their hard work and dedication rather than getting nominations on a basis recommendation and water cooler talk at conference and districts. SMH

I guess these teams aren’t blazing the road to victory either.... Eastern was 6-7, New Boston was 6-9, and Green was 4-11. All of these had East in their conference which was a guaranteed for 2 wins. I would like to know how many times these three teams were mercy ruled this year?? I think it would tell us a lot about their strength. I believe one of Eastern’s wins was against a great SV squad and heard they was robbed of a win against Green.

The teams at the top of the SOC predictions can add that many of the top teams of the conference had all-state award winners on those teams. Just another quality point to why they are the top dogs of their conference in both divisions. I can't wait to see the OVC conference teams to see if those teams match up to the all-state team members. I know the quality programs in that division also had all-state team members.

That’s a good bet... I would still not count ND and Waverly out. Both teams have good chance next year.
