My prediction: by Fall 2019, Genoa & Woodmore will be added... Genoa will land in the Bay. Woodmore will land in the River, bumping Willard up into the Bay, making it 6-8-8 for football and making Willard pick on teams it's own size instead of getting to knock around small potatoes. Please tell me why I'm wrong. But while doing so keep in-mind I was right about Vermilion, the collapses of the NOL & SRL, the expansion of the SBC, and Danbury & Gibby. Don't believe me? Feel free to look it up in the archives of the NOSF. ;-D Next up: Seneca East to SBC? Shelby out? Ross in? I'll be watching my crystal ball... I will tell you why you are wrong.... Genoa won't go. Like many people in the NBC and the area, they think this whole SBC thing is unstable. They are not interested. Shelby out? 100% correct. Seneca East to SBC? Haven't heard that, but bringing in the MAL/SRL schools helped that. But doesn't solve the SBC need for BIG schools, not small ones. Neither does Woodmore for that matter. The reality is that the only school that fits a need (BIG school) and is in the area and WANTS to come is Fremont Ross. And they won't get in. Unless Clyde and a few others change their resistance.

It's not common knowledge. Have you spoken to anyone in Shelby lately. There were reasons they did not aggressively pursue the MOAC. It was not ideal for them either. Have I talked to anyone is Shelby lately? Yea. Today. Multiple people. And not just guys walking down the street on Whitney Avenue. And I know fully what the issues were the first time. That is over with. I've tried to tell you before Scooter, some people know and some people think they know. I'm not guessing at this. Wait and see.

Why is everybody so convinced that Shelby will just drop everything and join the MOAC? Because they will....common knowledge. They would do anything to be out of the SBC.

Hey now need to pump the brakes and put down the beverage your drinking this early in the morning wallpass. Your right they are not concerned with Harding's size they are concerned with Harding's "city Speed". Which was a quote right from one of the above head coach’s mouth. Lack of discipline, that’s also a joke, Harding’s tailback was suspended 4 games for what turned out to be "not his issue" wrong place wrong time. Wishful thinking here but his ability could have been 2 more wins for the presidents. 4 above is incorrect Marion Harding has random drug screens which might be the only school in the MOAC to do so. As for your remarks on RV, only 1 kid was disciplined for steroid use not “several” just one. RV made several excuses on why they could not drug screen before the season after the 1 kid was busted after a power lifting meet. It’s also funny the starting TB for RV looked like a twig during track..hmmmm I’m sure he will start his roid cycling soon. “Same set of rules” So put down the Kool aid your belief or perception about the city kids or Marion Harding are way off in right field. Don’t always believe what you hear and half of what you see. Galion also has random drug testing for their athletes. So does Pleasant, so I have no idea what Eagles Nest is talking about when he says, "Marion Harding has random drug screens which might be the only school in the MOAC to do so." I think almost every school in the MOAC does....BV...RV...NU. Harding is not the only one to do so. I actually wonder which public school DOESN'T do drug testing....

That's a short and sweet write-up for him, but in 1997-98 he was beat in sectionals. In the spirit of full disclosure, the state run was in his first year at the school. He did make it to regional finals in 1998-99 but the program never did see the success it saw in his first season and ended with 3 consecutive losing seasons. At Marion Harding the record setting season mentioned in the article finished at 20-2 not 20-9 as reported and it was the only winning season in his 8 seasons there. Another somebody that speaks (posts) out of both sides of his mouth. In the efforts of FULL disclosure, Jury, had a pretty fair playing high school playing career at Wynford. After college, he landed at Old Fort, where he served as the top assistant to Jerry Bauer, who, if I'm not mistaken, also had Wynford ties. Mr. Bauer ran afoul with the law, and was actually unnecessarily arrested by Seneca County deputies, AT O.F.H.S., on a theft charge related to his part-time job at a Tiffin baseball card shop. Bauer stepped down from his budding successful program, and Jury should have been an easy selection. But a BOE did what they so often do best, screw things up. Bauer, and Jury, had Old Fort positioned for a fine season in 95-96, but the BOE jacked around and interviewed numerous others, including the son of a "name" area coach. This candidate came with all of 1 year of head coaching experience, which WAS 1 more year of experience than Jury's resume. Jury had decided to apply elsewhere, and, while Old Fort was "forting" around, Cardington offered and Jury accepted. Cardington won a Regional in Jury's 1st season at the helm, and was nipped in the Regional Final in 98-99, as was mentioned. His last 3 seasons at Cardington WERE under .500, but not all that poor. 10-12, 8-13, and 8-13, to be exact, and just so happened to coincide with the school's jump from D4 to D3. His 160 wins at the school are nearly DOUBLE of that of the next most successful coach. As for his time at Marion Harding, that alone, Marion Harding, speaks volumes. They stink, have stunk, and will continue to stink, albeit not nearly as bad, since they've dumbed down their schedule and now play many of the Marion County schools. NOBODY wins at Harding. NO-BODY. The great Steve Mohr ran like a scalded dog away from Harding after 2 years. Barry Egan, who had a winning record at every school he coached at, couldn't win there. Roger Jury didn't win there. NOT a huge surprise. What Jury did accomplish was only the 2nd winning season in 33 years seasons. Let that sink in. AND he won 20 games and a league title. Roger Jury would have been a fine choice for Willard a month ago. He would have been a fine choice for Galion, or Seneca East, or Bellevue, or even his alma mater, Wynford 2 years ago, after the 14-15 season. Hopewell-Loudon will be far better off with him, and his sons, for the remainder of the decade, than they would have been without him. The 5 schools above that passed, time will tell. LOL. You mean THIS Roger Jury? reviewtimes.com/local-news/2017/05/11/basketball-coach-at-center-of-misconduct-allegations/Look, the fact that you said the "remainder of the decade" shows me you know nothing about Hopewell-Loudon Fans. They already have the hatchets out (as always). They will be looking for ANYTHING they can. Fortunately for Roger...Codge is the AD there. As long as Roger can deal with the backstabbing, Codge will let him do his job. But end of the decade? The fans may have stirred up enough crap and gone above the AD's head enough that the Board caves long before the end of the decade

Freshman and most sophomores need rides. A 20 minute drive everyday can be problematic for parents. Plus high schoolers driving that everyday isn't ideal. Is it unreal for such a school to employ a bus service to make a run from town to town to offer safe travel for its students? Does anyone else think it is wasteful to close one school to build another because parents want it? St. Wendelin has busses. They have 3 full size maximum passenger busses sitting in their bus garage everyday. Fact was, Findlay kids didn't want to go to FSW.

The lowest point in the once storied history of Willard basketball. SC is preferred over Willard as the destination for the leading candidate for head coach. Does this mean that a player's father with no coaching experience will be the next head coach? Hearing a 4-win Riverdale or Ridgedale coach is the leading candidate now. Ridgedale coach is Jon Otterbacher. I believe he and his wife live in Tiffin, so it would make sense. That is, if he gets it.

Where do you see the number 10 in any area of that report? For basketball Tier 0 = 0 Tier 1 = 1 Tier 2 = 5 I see it as each player that is a Tier 2 X 5 (multiplier) for 10. Which is how I thought the adjusted count worked. maybe you are right...which would suck. schools that get in recruits after grade 9 should be hit harder IMO. If I get time I'll contact the OHSAA this week for clarification. A 5 count would not move up MSP in all probability. Although it would not surprise me if they had 10 Tier 2's in their 9-12 program.

Dude, you don't understand how the multipliers work....or you have forgotten. Either way, that is wrong. Remember, the multipliers utilize a "Tier" system. Tier 0 = no additional points (student has been there since the FIRST week of 7th grade) Tier 1 = 5 additional points. (Student entered sometime during 7th & 8th grades) Tier 2= 10 additional points. (Student entered AFTER 1st week of 9th grade) The kid from Madison = 10 points. The kid from Mansfield Senior = 10 points. The other kid from Mansfield Senior = 10 points. And that is before you consider the other two starters....and the bench....and the JV. Divison 3 was only 109 last year....although that will go up with the multipliers. But MSP isn't that far off with THREE players. Think about the rest of the roster. Either way, you are right that they might not go up....but if they did their counts honestly, and those three guys transferred after ninth grade year, they are going to be close. And all that is before you discuss who they picked for their "feeder" school on the report. 10 seems a little high. I'm pretty sure the number is 5. It's not. It is 10. The only typo I made was with Tier One. It is corrected now. Eiither way, every kid who transferred to MSP after the start of 9th grade is going to be costly. which is the idea of the whole plan.

You guys keep forgetting that private schools can cap their enrollment numbers. The ones that are serious will still be able to game the system even with multipliers. Many of the smaller schools like MSP may not be affected at all. As I said it would take a larger number to bump them up a division. Even if they carry 12 players on jv and 12 on varsity it would take almost half of them to factor in with the new multiplier to put them up. Dude, you don't understand how the multipliers work....or you have forgotten. Either way, that is wrong. Remember, the multipliers utilize a "Tier" system. Tier 0 = no additional points (student has been there since the FIRST week of 7th grade) Tier 1 = 1 additional point. (Student entered sometime during 7th & 8th grades) Tier 2= 10 additional points.

5 starters from St.Pete's are 2 from Senior that didn't like current coach, a kid from Madison, coach's son, and not sure about Gurski. It's not like these kids came from Ashland, Shelby, Wooster, etc. Hmmmm.....That MSP Multiplier in the new competitive balance results should be interesting....hello D3. Basketball is a multiplier of 5..

Went and saw North Union at Pleasant tonight. Pleasant won by about 20 or so.
North Union never threatened....
Craycraft kid was knocked out of the game right before half with a nasty cut, and did not return, but NU could not get closer than 12-14 points down.
Agree with most on here, MOAC will be "scrambled eggs" this year. Hard to say who will beat whom each night. Teams are very inconsistent this year...

"All out war"?? There's already been too much of that this year. Fights, ejections, a plethora of personal fouls and unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. only ONE game... we cant help it we had a homer ref that tried his best to deter the visiting team and ill leave it at that... who is your team anyway Willard? Uh...There was no "homer ref that tried his best to deter the visiting team"...... Ask your AD, I did. That crew was from Zanesville. . Just sayin....

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only school that voted no on Harding joining the MOAC was RV. I remember them commenting that they thought Harding was too big. North Union and River Valley both voted no. Pleasant voted yes.
