Norwalk is #1 and anything else is uncivilized. Dude gave me the encouragement to post this. Dude, the positive belief counselor. My work here is done.

Someone refresh my memory. Did NWD go to automatic placement like some other districts, or are they still place yourself when it's your turn.

Adding Edison to the District removes a bye from one of the sites.

As mentioned above, there are 15 teams this year and only one bye. I think that the bye will have an impact on where the top seeds go. I also think there are a lot of games this week that could continue to determine who the top seeds will be.
Lexington (10-3) plays Wooster and West Holmes this week Mansfield Sr.(10-2) plays Ontario and Pleasant Clear Fork (11-2) plays Fredericktown, River Valley and Lucas this week Norwalk (11-2) plays Perkins and Ontario this week Vermilion(12-2) plays Clyde and Oak Harbor this week
Even though no one has a game in which they are outmatched, I just have a feeling that someone or maybe a couple teams are going to drop a game this week. Just a hunch...could easily see Norwalk or Vermilion losing a game this week, not easy to play 3 games in a 5 days if you are CF.

Looking at the teams you have listed and the opponents they play this week, I wonder how much the strength of schedule is considered when selecting the seeds or do schools support other within their own conference over a better team?

I think the bye will go to the coach who will want the bye, many coaches like to play that first game to keep the kids sharp or keep a certain routine. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the mid seeds getting that single bye.

Norwalk has been one to do that with scrapping the bye. As far as who will lose this week, I think Truckers will be fine. Perkins and Ontario at the Garage where Truckers play really play at home, and home game next week against PC which is HoF Night. Then, showdown at Lex the following week.

Home or away the SBC is not very strong this year and Ontario is having an historically down season with talent and injuries. Of the games listed by the top 5 teams, the only possible upset is Wooster at Lexington. The rest should all be wins for the top district teams.

I have to agree about SBC; however, the stretch of games at the end of year for Norwalk(at Lex, Cardinal Stritch, at Sandusky) prepares us well for Truckers. Of course, that could work in Lex and Sandy's favor as well.

I agree I think the OCC is stronger than the LAKE, as it usually is...but not by much. SBC Lake teams are 3-3 vs the OCC. Norwalk is 2-0 vs Ashland and Madison and they were up by 15-20 in both games. Clyde is 0-2, including a close loss to Ashland. Sandusky is 1-1. Lex has had their way with the Lake, but we shall see when they play Norwalk. Obviously, the bottom feeders of the Lake don't play the OCC but it's not like these Lake teams are playing West Holmes, plus 4 of the OCC teams are D1

It may be a little tough to use Norwalk at 11-2 to say the Lake is close to the OCC when they are 2-0 against Madison who is 3-12 and Ashland is 7-5. Norwalk did beat Madison by 20 but Ashland was an 8 point win.

Norwalk typically hasn't blown anyone out when on road against OCC. That especially includes title year of 14 when we escaped a sub .500 Wooster General team. However, that will change when we go to Lex.

Wooster finished 9-15 overall and 6-8 in OCC. Who would be the ones that year Norwalk wouldn't want to face when these set of Truckers played Whitmer, Rogers, and Lorain for examples?

I did not see Norwalk playing Rogers the year they played Wooster. Lorain was good for sure but On the Wooster schedule was Mansfield for starters, but also, Glenoak, Medina Highland, Massillon Washing, Canton Timken were good. All better than Western Reserve.

The Trucker core played Rogers the year before, whom ended up being DI runner-up to Mentor. Those three schools were better quality than three best from Wooster(non-league) and perhaps not close. Bottom line, we had a skunker at Wooster regardless of other factors.

Bottom line, we had a skunker at Wooster regardless of other factors. Wasn't that when your Truckers were a D1 team and lost to Mansfield? You may be right about the 14 team, having Lorain and Whittmer may be a better schedule than the 5 or 6 good opponents Wooster had that season.

Looks like Norwalk played Rogers in 12-13, which was when Norwalk lost to Mansfield in the tournament. They played Wooster in 13-14. They played Whitmer in both seasons

None of this has anything to do with this year but I do appreciate maple pointing out that a 14 State Champ was pushed to the limit by 6th place OCC team.

You may be right about the 14 team, having Lorain and Whittmer may be a better schedule than the 5 or 6 good opponents Wooster had that season. After a solid win in 12 over Mansfield, TYgers had the 13 game circled big time, and won, and even then, I sensed NHS blew that one. Aside from that, one has to consider perhaps Mansfield wasn't too interested playing Norwalk for a variety reasons. TYgers didn't play some solid Willard squads either in the 2000s.

From 12 to 13 the Tygers had a coaching change so they had nothing circled other than trying to get to a District final.

You mean against OCC schools because the Wooster game you began this talk with was at a neutral site.

Forgot to hit it on that one. maple and I have been jabbing with each other for fun. Stick to hyping your Flashes dad.

I a actually looked for the smiley face, as you've told me that in the past. Didn't see it this time. For future reference, I am very well traveled. As far as Willard, you've never seen me hyping them, Im a realist. Glad you and maple are on the same page.
