Thursday's Sandusky Register had a story on the front page regarding the team names at Bellevue and Port Clinton. After reading the sub-headline that read "Bellevue, Port Clinton leaders not ready to drop racist team mascots", I assumed it was only a matter of time before Westerhold would be writing an editorial telling the two schools it was time to make a change. Given Westerhold's history, it will become a recurring theme. In my opinion, school administrators and boards are dealing with something much more important this summer. Screw Westerhold!!

There you go. Captain Jack's pick from before he forced Matt Smith out. He has fumbled all of this from the start. There will be ripples from the mishandlings... do they vet any of these hires. heard some Bellevue folks say that they never even contacted anyone over there about Santoro before they hired him. I would imagine the same for the AD hire. I would assume that with the amount of assistants coming from Bellevue that they will use most of what they learned over there. So basically a Bellevue light so to speak. I just hope they have an old veteran coach or two on the staff to help bring these young guns along. I am still hoping for the best for the Pirates, but I am having trouble seeing it. Has the names of Bellevue assistants been mentioned here? I heard they are lower level coaches.

from the register after shelby game Coach Santoro said his senior leader would be back for Thursday’s game at Sandusky and hopes to put the fallout from Saturday’s hair-pulling incident that has gained national attention behind his team, which has one more game to play before the sectional tournament begins next week. There you have it, looks like those Willard sources are still credible! 😇 Damn!! 😞 😂😂

Not sure I’d buy that. They were beating sandusky with it without her anyways. The only person that came out as having info on a one game suspension to begin with was from Willard wasn’t it? Maybe they were talking with the OHSAA also to come to a decision .... 🤷🏻♂️ Several places said 1 game, nobody that told me was from Willard. Several also said another was ‘added’ after the fact. 👍🏼 I thought it was Todd Hamons on Facebook that posted it first and that you responded. Just seems weird all the info on it from everyone else but nothing from the school themselves.

Thanks, wasn't able to make it, so I didn't know if she played, but was guessing not based on that score. So the question is, were the reports of it only being a one game suspension incorrect, or was this extra game added later. There was never an official announcement from the school about the punishment IIRC. Believe a 2nd game was added later. Imo once the perfect season was over they said ‘eh why not... 2 games chill out everybody’ Not sure I’d buy that. They were beating sandusky with it without her anyways. The only person that came out as having info on a one game suspension to begin with was from Willard wasn’t it? Maybe they were talking with the OHSAA also to come to a decision .... 🤷🏻♂️

3 of the coaches that came with Santoro are line guys. Bellevue will be more than ok in replacing them. I've heard Tommy Mygrant is coming back to coach Bellevue's offensive line so lots of experience returning to Redmen staff if that rumor is true. That’s what I got from his tweet on twitter as well. Not sure if tommy coached anywhere since coaching Nick Bosa in FL or not. Great news if true as he was a hell of a line coach and full of energy.

amen! They didn’t owe us anything. They owed the Wards everything. Glad to see they are doing the right thing True ... so she should play again when Liv does. Her dad is good with what’s taken place yet someone from Willard that has no dog in the fight isn’t? 🙄

turn it around and the city of bellevue wants to burn down norwalk, imagine if the norwalk girl did this to the santoro girl. leaving the rest of her season in doubt. it changes the dynamics of bellevue team to where they may not get out of districts. now you'd be storming mad. steaming is what bellevue would be. and if norwalk showed no remorse, your entire town would be making this impossible for norwalk to breathe . Right. Here’s an article from a Bellevue loss last season. Read the coach’s comments to get an idea of what he’s all about. sanduskyregister.com/news/5913/frustrating-finish-to-bellevues-season/what did he say that was wrong out different than MANY have said for years on these high school forums? Big city recruiting and/or open enrollment and catholic schools have an advantage over rural area schools more cases than not. You have to have a dream team To win state.

so they’ll take it out in Sandusky ? Big deal. I never wish bad things on high school teams. But I think there were a lot of Shelby fans tonight. Karma Yeah, they will beat Sandusky bad, let’s just hope they stick to playing basketball It was an isolated incident over a four year varsity career!! Why do people continue to act like assholes? As a Bellevue guy I still believe it should have been two games not just one but I’ve also come to the conclusion as posts went on that no matter how many there would be many unsatisfied.

Yeah anyone saying she should lose her scholarship can get the hell out of here. We’ve seen much worse out of incoming and enrolled college athletes.
Personally with as big as this has gotten I think 2 games would be enough. What happened was way out of line...
However I expect nothing was done when the Lady Red traveled to Perkins and a girl on their JV team took a swing at a bellevue girl? Point is not everything makes the news like this but being the family and school involved it becomes even bigger. I still believe something is done and those who think it will be swept under the rug is posting with hateful intentions wether against Bellevue in general or the santoros. Success puts a bigger target on your back.
If nothing is done I’ll be back on here admitting I was wrong and disagree with no discipline.

But why more than what the norm would be if caught by officials? Just askin . The min is 2 games. Make a statement. Go one extra. Saying we take this serious. Are you sure that’s the minimum? I talked to an official yesterday that said it’s automatic 2 games not a minimum.

I would say they wait until after Shelby game tomorrow. Then that would leave Sandusky last reg season game. And Galion for sectionals. They definitely won’t need her for those 2 games. And they protect an undefeated season. . They could really s show us how committed they truly are about sportsmanship and do 3 games. Beginning immediately. But why more than what the norm would be if caught by officials? Just askin

The game was Saturday at noon - correct? If this is the case how quickly do people think that Bellevue will take action. Obviously, to me at least, nothing is likely to be done until Monday morning. Principal, AD, coach/dad, player and possibly superintendent are not going in on Saturday night or Sunday to make a decision. This will wait until Monday morning despite the impatient internet jury. If and when a punishment is dealt Bellevue is under no obligation to make a press release or statement to the public especially since it involves a minor/high school student. Exactly!!! And Bellevue AD said Saturday that it will be addressed. What more was needed on a Saturday?

I don't believe Perkins has any teaching jobs available. Could be a little awkward teaching at one and coaching the other Not really. Jordan Berberick teaches in Clyde and coaches Bellevue boys track with his dad.

Rumor out of Bellevue is that four Redmen assistants are going with Santoro. This might have been answered but I’m just catching up. Which assistants?

Many great posts that I agree with including Scarletfever and bellevuebuckeye. I think a two game suspension is in order and that the school will do the right thing here. I talked to an official yesterday and he informed me that if caught by the officials it would have been a two game suspension. Sportsvideo said it best that it was outside the rules of the game. If officials are letting overly physical play then play within the same rules as a player and coach. I do hate however how it’s gotten so nasty towards the high school kids especially from adults. The family has went private on social media because of the verbal abuse and online bullying that’s been directed even to her siblings. Pray these two don’t meet in the tournament as nothing good can come of it for either school, fanbase or player. Both girls are seniors so next year is a new start. Hope after all is done everyone, the Ward girl, Casey, and both teams and communities can move on from a situation that’s not telling over her overall character.

Don't know about net cutting, sure was hair ripping and slamming a body to the floor game. Still see they teach this crap at that school. Video has already hit social media and sure it will make it to both AD offices if not OHSAA offices also. It’s hilarious people from Norwalk try to make this a thing. The Ward girl that flopped... was throwing elbows and grabbing cloth the entire game to try and get underneath Santoro’s skin. Anyone who was at the game realized that, and anyone who has zero bias could see that. It’s a shame that a parent tried to shame a KID on Facebook. I feel bad for the Santoro girl. Know her personally and know the issue that has gone on with this same person for years now. Not saying her retaliation was right. But if you mess with the bull you get the horns. It’s been hard to stay out of this but I agree on some big points here. I have a step daughter that’s a senior, a daughter that’s a junior and another a sophomore. All have said the same thing about the Ward girl. She got more physical than what should be allowed but officials yet this isn’t the first time and it goes beyond physical play.

In NO WAY am I condoning what happened but I think a full game video would be of help to any AD office or oshaa. Heard a lot more was going on that led to things getting out of control. Officiating not get things under control?

I was not there so can’t fully speak on the situation but have seen the video and I definitely have to say that it would be out of character for Casey to do such a thing examples of playing Toledo Rogers or the girl from Toledo central Catholic a week and a half ago that was in her face running her mouth early in the game. Casey normally is unfazed by that so I’m not sure really what had happened leading up to it if anything.

Will the Lady Red be tested again in the regular season besides maybe TCC and Shelby? I'm trying to plan which game(s) to go to. I’m not sure TCC will challenge them. Like said above, Perkins could, but Bellevue might beat them by 30. Start

Yeah I don’t buy the 0-10 record. Ross was very young besides A few talented players including Brown who’s going to BG. Ross always has talent and sadly for them for whatever reason there’s a lot of athletes in the hallways that aren’t making it to the football field.

That’s what has me concerned. We play too soft in the secondary 7+ yards off the ball and our corners first move is a back peddle. We make zero adjustments in the backend either. Clyde figures out how to attack us and when we did stop the run setting up 3 & 6 or so they had the short passing game we just couldn’t stop. I don’t see the staff changing anything this late in the year so it’s definitely a concern if your hoping to make it further into the playoffs. I went to this game last week and I would say what hurt Bellevue more than short passes was it seemed like they couldn't get the run game going. I think Bellevue will win this game is a close one this week. Really a good first round match up. Will come down to who will be able to run the football and who gives up least amount of big plays. I agree the running game wasn’t there but tell me how many times Clyde punted? U have to be able to stop someone and when the Redmen stopped the run those passing lanes was wide open

Wauseon seems to be a passing team. Almost reminds me of Shelby from a few years ago. Bellevue has struggled with those types of teams. Clyde and Tiffin did well against the Redmen with the short passes. Bellevue definitely has them on strength of schedule. Defense wins this game. Its gonna be interesting. That’s what has me concerned. We play too soft in the secondary 7+ yards off the ball and our corners first move is a back peddle. We make zero adjustments in the backend either.

Wouldn't that be something. There was once a Bellevue-Perkins playoff game at Clyde and Clyde-Perkins playoff game at Bellevue, therefore any future Bellevue-Clyde playoff game should be held at Perkins to complete the triangle. That could potentially be the shortest stay for the Rt 20 ball ever🏈 Wish it would come true but I’d fear more of the same out come as Willard vs Bellevue 1999. Flashes won both. Redmen need to make some changes scheming the secondary or it will be a short playoff run.

21-12, 1 play. 10:44 Clyde clock operators keep letting extra time off the clock. Sometimes the refs have caught it, sometimes they haven't. dont the refs have the official clock on the field??? They should but multiple times the clock had kept going when a player went out of bounds and after Clydes last score an extra 15 seconds ticked off

Just heard Bellevue's starting center/kicker is out for the season. So it won't be surprising if we go for 2 from here on out. Damn 😞
