By the way a running back, linebacker match-up like last week, how isn’t that arguable or even relatable.
Stover is the guy to stop Stewart. He didn’t stop him. Like I said before don’t read into it so much.

I wasn’t talking “team” I was talking the LB/RB matchup Jimbo.

Listen Jackknob, a RB has 7-8 guys blocking for him. If 2-3 guys focus on blocking one guy he can be contained at the high school level. Is this your first year watching high school football?

You win dude, you’re the first to resort to name calling.
Btw no linebacker in recorded history was ever blocked by that many, just sayin.
You win, all Hail Dude. 🤝

Actually he was, I was at the game. And Jackknob is the response to Jimbo. I'll be looking for #4 while i'm in the stands in a few years. I truly hope it happens as I enjoy supporting local talent in the Shoe.

I legit thought your name was “Jimbo.”
Sweet. Cool story bro, tell it again.
At the end of the day you had a linebacker runningback match-up that was of great interest. #4 came out on top that’s all.
Are you related to Stover?
Can we quit so everyone can talk about the threads purpose.
Also I am sure he had a lineman or 2 on him, but every time?? Lie to me and say yes....

And I took a chance that your name was Jack. No relation to any player. But thanks for asking. I hope your bro get to be a 4 star guy someday. Maybe then he can wear scarlet and I be there to watch him.

I'm exhausted and near speechless. Game wasn't for faint of heart, that's for sure. Congratulations to the Region 10 Champion Norwalk Truckers, and to Sandusky, keep your chin up. Gosh, another dose of Stewart next year in a season he's already big-time stud.

Things Vogel and I have thrown around and said randomly over & over since the huddle days, NOSF and now NCOAST more often than not eventually wash to shore dead on point.
Fox is a top coach, Willard let a lone loose cannon scare them away from allowing him to take the job he wanted from day one.
Norwalks gain. Their first final 4 since 1974.
Criminy.
What a planet.

Congrats to Norwalk on their fine season!
To advance to this point, its more players, than coaching. Look at Norwalk - Big ten O-Lineman, MAC D-End, D2 Basketball player who could be a D1 Football recruit, RB who is a D2 back, and quite possibly 3-4 state placers in wrestling that play on defense.
The first three, who didn't even play for the football for Norwalk last year, certainly makes them the team they are. Take away the two transfers and the in school recruit, and they are 5-5, if that. yes, they make THAT much of difference.

So you're telling me that this team would have made it this far if Mac was still coach? I don't think so. Those years with Turner as the lead back had better talent on them then this year's team, IMO. Norwalk football would have made plenty of playoff runs in those years if this current coaching staff was there. I'm not trying to take away anything from this year's team, they did a great job and certainly earned what they got, but coaching at this level still does make a bit of a difference.

It would appear Fox is getting the most out of the talent. Ashley Bond did the same thing at Willard in Volleyball this year. That's the mark of a good coach.

Remember Jake, Norwalk is the city that had former coaches and current teachers dress up in rocky river colors during a school day. Fox also has a group of about 8 in his hometown that made an error or demanded they make that error that wish to downgrade his accomplishment. Next year if Norwalk doesn’t make the final 4 these same folks will crawl back out and say ‘see I told ya’

This is Todd Fox's 8th straight playoff appearance, he's only been a Head Coach 9 years. This is Todd Fox's 12th playoff appearance as a Coach (3 as an assistant coach at Willard, 1999, 2001, 2002 and 1 as an assistant at Tiffin Columbian 2008) This is Todd Fox's 14th playoff appearance as a player or coach (2 playoff appearances as a player at Willard, 1988, 1990) This is Norwalk's 4th ever playoff appearance in 47 years of the playoffs (1972-2018)
Fox is a great coach because he knows it's not about just the coaches or just the players. It takes good coaching and good players to make the playoffs and then win.
Fox was the Head Coach of Willard Wrestling when Willard produced 3 Individual State Champs, those are the only 3 Wrestling State Champs Willard has ever had. Like Ed Nasonti winning a baseball State Title as Bellevue's Head Coach. Great Coaches can do it in multiple sports.

First off MacFarland, would of never gotten Haraway out like Coach Fox did. And I seriously doubt that the boys from Monroeville would of come if Mac was still coach. So coaching goes beyond the field - way beyond X's and O's. Fox has a done great job building a relationship with St Paul, with in the school, and the community of NHS as well. Maybe it will lead to fixing the worst stadium/facility (outside of Shelby) in North Central Ohio, especially for school and community the size of Norwalk. Fox is so much more of a better coach not even close so the comparisons should stop because there is none. Norwalk was the sleeping giant in the area (like Perkins is now). Many parts were in place coming in (returning starters, especially on Defense) then you add in Haraway and the Big Boys, you have a winning combination. Difference between 5-5 and a final four team. There really is no argument at all. Add Fox into that mix, this is what you get. It would be scary what Nasonti, Carter, Lutz, or Fox could do at Sandusky with those athletes. Sandusky is soo poorly coached/led its simply unbelievable. Never took anything away from Norwalk - there is no mega giant in this region and could of been any of the SBC schools that came out on top. Norwalk, Sandusky, Clyde or Tiffin and I think no one could argue that especially when you review the regular season weeks 6-10. Central Catholic going up, Glenville being ineligible also helped big time - all the stars lining up.

Clearly a Mac supporter or a teacher who dressed in opposing colors or an ex coach or all of the above. We get it, your guy is gone. This coach got more out of the same bunch of kids. This coach respects his players.

Yet you arent taking anything away from anyone. Makes sense. In one breath you give credit, then take it back.

I could be off base, but it's a catch-22; I don't think Sandusky (nor Ross) could handle some of those outstanding coaches from the area.

Yet you're not taking anything away from anyone. Makes sense. In one breath you give credit, then take it back. Highly complimentary of Norwalk and Coach Fox. I am not sure what you are saying. Norwalk had a solid core returning, then bring 3 kids who play SIGNIFICANT roles in the Truckers success. I guess what you are saying that Norwalk would be in same spot is Big boys and Haraway are not on the team, they get this far? I simply stated that in the regular season they made a 2 game difference (7-3 to 5-5). How is that slap to Norwalk? Those three kids are huge diffence makers for Norwalk. What is that to argue about? Regarding the stadium, really? Name one stadium in the SBC (any division) where the overall facility is worse? Lakota?
