Can't see it being much different, considering what the Feather did to Clyde. That looked like a damn basketball score.

I was at work when I snuck a peek at the score update. Don't remember the time, but it was 21-16 Perkins, and I thought my eyes were on the fritz.

Here's a few things.... 1. Strohl left because Perkins wouldn't bend over backwards and give him a higher level administrators position. 2. Offensively last season Perkins was prone to turnovers and penalties. I thought that was pretty obvious and I'm guessing I could find multiple threads discussing that on the old forum. The difference last year was they had better players to overcome those situations but it still bit them in the $ss. This season they have a lot less talent and the room for error is minimal if they want to beat decent teams. Bingo. Strohl, in my opinion, did "just okay" in his AD position - putting him in an office more critical to administrating the education process would have been a boondoggle. They replaced him with a local and long-time teacher/coach, but they are saving the plum positions for Parma transplants, i.e., friends and lackeys of the Super.

Just a quick note, thought it would be appropriate to post it here since I'm most present here: Going to be off the grid until about Thurs. evening. Committing granddad's body to earth - he was 95. If I don't respond quickly, that's where I'll be. Thanks.

My memory isn't failing me - from 2002-2005, no one fed anybody else after a varsity game. Yes, I "made the trip" to Oak Harbor in '05, and no, we weren't fed afterwards. Twenty-one conference games in my varsity "career," plus nine non-con., and it never happened. As for facilities and cash, etc., you're starting to confuse me, and I doubt I'm alone. First, you snipe at Perkins' multi-million dollar stadium and bemoan the fact that programs with "less resources" (it's "fewer," by the way) than Perkins will feed visiting teams a meal - which is entirely their choice, mind you. In the next post, I'm castigated for daring to assume that you are indeed envious of Perkins' stadium, and you brag on about PC's facilities - which indeed, are great, but then pick a side of the fence. Either you're going to make snide remarks about Perkins being "cheap" by providing not as much free food as you think they should after building a multi-million dollar facility, or you're having a jolly old time at the expense of poor, can't-pass-a-levy Perkins. Pick one? Furthermore, I never said PC is envious of Perkins. I said you clearly are, and asked if the rest of the community felt that way. No sense in denying your resentment, though. You snipe at Perkins throughout this forum at every available opportunity, and I still haven't gotten an answer as to why you feel Perkins deserves your anger any more than any other school in the SBC or area. Really, that's my goal here: to find out why, of all the possible rivals or other schools near and far, your hatred seethes for Perkins more than any other. You still haven't answered that.

a While that's nice you do that, that you seemed to expect it from other teams with whom you've had no really recent contact strikes me as - well, maybe not "spoiled. There's a better word for it, though for the life of me, I can't think of it. That you assumed Huron wasn't feeding the Bellevue kids because of a "grudge" struck those of us who replied as rather odd. It is a nice gesture, but I don't think a program's decision not to eat with the opposition afterward is cause for hurt feelings. I remember @ Perkins under Farlow, we were fed dinners before the game by boosters, but our opponents weren't. Personally, I think being a gracious host team means having clean facilities for visitors to use, courteously pointing teams and coaches in the direction they need to go, making sure the equipment in the press box is working properly for their staff up top, and playing a clean game. I have to roll my eyes when I see someone complain about being given a box of apples, rather than, you know, be grateful for a healthy, free snack. Then again, I consider the source: I imagine PC people aren't used to their current success, and are desperately searching for something to whine about. Were I an HC, you wouldn't need to feed my team, and I wouldn't feed your's. It's a ballgame, not a date. Funny - I played just over a decade ago at True-Lay, and I don't recall there being as much as a box of apples for us. In fact, I don't remember being fed at all after any varsity game - that was reserved for middle school, Frosh., and JV, and it was usually was along the lines of a prepackaged drink and small snack, like you'd find at a youth soccer game. So when it came to varsity games, apparently no program in the SBC had any class. As for "butthurt," (to all you younger millennials, the word you're looking for is "resentment," by the way) sure, I'm not terribly pleased with the way Perkins is playing (but that was assured at the start when Quis left), but PC makes a poor target for anyone's "butthurt" - what I see from you is a lot of schadenfreude heading Perkins' way in particular, and I'm not sure why. It's not as if Perkins was the most reliable or prolific antagonist of PC football hopes over the last 20 years, even during the leanest times, yet I don't see similar feelings directed at Clyde, Oak Harbor, or Huron. Then I read a little deeper: "You've got a multi-million dollar stadium and the best you can do is a box of apples?" "Meanwhile school's with less resources and lesser facilities..."Aha! Is that how the Port Clinton community really sees it? If you were any more green, you'd need to change your mascot to Polar Bear. Isn't that the same thing as that "butthurt" you went on about?

Green and Mark, teams have been doing this for awhile now. Bellevue has fed both teams after the game for sometime so hardly that Bellevue is spoiled as we also take care of the opponent. I remember before sandusky joined the NOL and they scrimmaged at Bellevue the blue streaks players were fed even back then. While that's nice you do that, that you seemed to expect it from other teams with whom you've had no really recent contact strikes me as - well, maybe not "spoiled. There's a better word for it, though for the life of me, I can't think of it.

No kicker for Bellevue, Didn't know there's suppose to be team feedings, provided by the home teams, after varsity games, When did they start doing that. Never heard of that done anywhere. Since when are the hosts supposed to feed both teams? Are Bellevue folks that spoiled?

I can't believe everyone is picking NL over Oberlin. Is Oberlin that bad these days? I've never known Oberlin to be anything but bad. Went there to watch Perkins open the '00 campaign with them on the heels of the State Championship season. Oberlin (they were still the "Oberlin Indians" then) was held to single digits, if anything at all, while the Pirates' tally looked like a basketball score. I haven't heard a peep about them since then. It seems contagious, too, as Oberlin College regularly gets walloped by the likes of Ohio Wesleyan, DePauw, and Wooster.

Spoke with some very creditable people last night. It was their belief that the superintendent at Perkins slashed the athletic departments budget and forced out their athletic director. Must have forced out all the starting football players, too! It sure looked like the Pirate JV team on the field last night. Didn't have a chance to go, but friends I've spoken to since last night have one word for the Pirates' play and appearance: "sloppy." Quisno was a greater factor in that team's success than he was given credit for, and he was given credit for quite a bit. Good discipline and character weren't the only things he took out the door with him; on the coaching side, the brains walked out the door, as well. As for the new super, it seems Perkins replaced an absentee meddler in the person of J. Gunner with competent, talent-importing tyranny, laced with apathy for the locals who have been living in and working for Perkins their whole lives. We (yes, I'm alumnus, too) should have gone with Brand from South Central or Parmigan from Oak Harbor. Both were in districts smaller than Perkins, but Perkins is still not as "big-time" as some people would believe. Either one of those two would have brought a more "small community" mindset to the table, and would be less likely to hold us natives in contempt, than the current administration. The current Super has brought quite a large Parma following with her, piecemeal, to win positions within the district, and that's disturbing to not just me.

A big congrats to the Streaks on their win. The loss of certain members of the coaching staff (combine with the retention of some others) may make this a long nine weeks for the Pirates. That doesn't diminish what Sandusky has done so far, some real program-building.

When is this game to be played and where?? Pretty sure it's @ Huron, 7 or 7:30. I don't really know the start times anymore.

Any Willard Fans want to throw in their two cents, I read in the paper that Margaretta thinks they are a playoff team this year and t he starting Qb's dad was a hell of an athlete in high school. Other than that I don't have anything to support my prediction. Good Lord. If Margaretta folks really do believe the first claim, we might want to do extensive air/water/soil testing of the area surrounding the duck pond - people seem to be hallucinating. If the fact that the starting QB's dad was a good HS athlete is the foundation of Margaretta's hopes, then maybe all the folks in Castalia really need is a big hug.

I don't believe Perkins has lost so much that (nor has Sandusky gained so much) that Sandusky will take this one. It'll be a dogfight, though - shame they chose Thursday, as I'm working then, but not Friday night.
Perkins 23 Sandusky 14

Can WR stop SP from a fifth straight crown*?
Also, how did every team besides SP have such a poor showing in non-conference games? Besides them and the Eagles, everyone went 1-2 or 0-3. Did everyone else just punch that much higher above their weight class? Monroeville (male enrollment: 78) drove 2 hours west to the border to beat Edon (60), a TAAC nobody, then travelled to the Duck Pond in week 3, taking the final lead rather early in the game and holding off the Polars Bears (110) for the rest. Not that the Eagles didn't show growth from the year before, but...
Will Mapleton bounce back to its 2014 incarnation, or will it need a few years before they look to the playoffs again? The Trojans haven't enjoyed a 6-4 season since '06 and a 5-5 season since '07 (Teglovic's last), and have been wandering in the desert since; is there any evidence to suggest they might at least split this season? Will NL right the ship?
M'ville's soon-to-be seniors and juniors look like pretty strong classes relative to some that have graduated in recent years. It is, of course, all relative, but I think they'll have a showing similar to the last year's, except the 4-game skid near the end. Not conf. champs, but contenders deep into the season. While numbers is a huge problem, interest in football from the pool of boys they do have seems way down still. Then again, I could be wrong.
