This was one of the 7-8 sure wins on the schedule for 2018

I believe this one stays in the W column by 10 for the Flashes

[tori2]

I'll take St. Joe by 14, Willard not a road team.

[unconcernedcitizen]

Tori not sure what you are smoking but I’ll take some! No way st joe wins! I think they can keep it close but willard has way too many more playmakers

[maplecityjake]

I'm still getting over the thought these two are playing. When's the last time, if ever, Willard has played football game in Fremont?

I'm going to say 1933.  That's the last meeting between Ross and Willard.    The Little Giants won that one,  7-6.

Thank you, Keith!

[jmorgret07]

I’ll be here on Friday night.

*Note about New London's 1950 team. NL went 9-1 with their only loss to (7-2) Willard.
New London's schedule in 1950
W 45-6 Amherst
W 7-0 Tiffin Columbian
W 67-6 Norwalk St Paul
W 63-0 Plymouth
W 61-0 Vermilion
W 51-6 Huron
W 57-0 Castalia
W 19-0 Bellville <-- not Bellevue, Bellville of Clear Fork variety
L 0-13 Willard
W 25-0 Wellington

Willard's win over them was an upset and Willard finished 2nd in the NOL in 1950 to Shelby. That NL team was rocking. NL's 1951 team went 10-0 and their 1952 team went 8-0-1. Don't mess with NL in the early 1950's.

Willard 44-20 I believe

Good stuff. So, when WAS the 1st FSJ/Willard battle?


1966 - Brunswick, Coshocton Riverview
1967 - Mount Vernon, Coshocton Riverview

A slight correction....Coshocton Riverview is really (and should be listed as) Warsaw River View (not Riverview). The "new" consolidated high school was built in 1964 and open for business by the 1966 school year.

Of note, via my Newspapers.com account (Coshocton Tribune), the 1966 game was in Willard and with the Flashes keeping the Black Bears winless (0-2), 24-6 behind running back Chuck Barrison (one of Willard's all-time finest athletes). In 1967, Willard rolled in to Warsaw like Hitler, winning 52-8. The most interesting thing about this game was that the game coverage was penned by fledgling sportswriter, D'Arcy Egan. The game report in question was a little rough, and Egan, who was also serving in the role of Sports Editor, referred to Charles Barrison by 3 different names (also Chuck Darrison and Chuck Barrington). Yikes! He also had this to say about River View's next week's foe (Heath)...."A constant loser, Heath (one win in first four years) has been a surprise this season, as they captured their first outing of the year." (Whatever THAT meant?) Double Yikes!! I can only surmise that Heath was in the infancy of their football program, but that was harsh, not to mention poorly written.

KniteFlyer, I can add to the Heath info. My Dad went to Clyde his freshman year, then Whitehall and finally Heath for his senior year. Heath's 1st year of Varsity football was 1963, their first year of football was 1962 when they played a JV schedule. My Dad's senior year was Heath's 1st year of Varsity football and he's always described them as being bad, and the reason was just a lack of experience. He always says he played on some good teams at Whitehall and a really bad team at Heath.

[Willard Dad]

Fantastic win Flashes keep taking those small bites, the elephant is slowly being devoured. 4 wins already  .   Remember to not let up, games aren't won until the clock reads 0:00. Stay focused for the entire game so you don't let another game slip away like the Margaretta one. Every play is important in every game, you guys can do this.
