Bellevue and Clyde are afraid of Ross for some reason and since they control the SBC, Ross will never get in. I think it has been more Clyde and Perkins. I don’t think Bellevue is afraid of Ross. Bellevue isn’t afraid of anybody and I thought about mentioning that but I thought it was well understood. My bad! I respectfully disagree.... The Bellevue and Clyde AD's run that league and I've heard many times over the years that Bellevue is against Ross because they think they are too big. Technically by the numbers they are bigger, but the fact that Sandusky and Tiffin have competed and often beat Ross for many many years, I'm just not sure what they are really afraid of? Surely location wise Fremont is a great fit.

So basically this all comes down to what is Woodmore and Oak Harbor going to do that will put the wheels in motion or not. It disrupts but doesn’t change the SBC 3 divisions. Maybe Fremont Ross gets in. If so the Lake competitiveness doesn’t change and Ross doesn’t dominate or even win it in the near future. It is the answer for the next ten years anyhow. Bellevue and Clyde are afraid of Ross for some reason and since they control the SBC, Ross will never get in.

League Championship is much more impressive than division championship. "Safety in numbers" why? Is there a SBC League rule that if a couple of River school leave, then 1 or 2 Bay schools will be made to move down to the River? "League Championship is much more impressive than division championship"..... Only more impressive to those who can't handle change. Pretty sure if Willard football were to ever win the Bay Division there would be 14 pages of comments on here about how impressive that was. ""Safety in numbers" why? Is there a SBC League rule that if a couple of River school leave, then 1 or 2 Bay schools will be made to move down to the River?"..... Did I say there was a league rule? It provides the league some flexibility to work with all the other league schools to fill schedules and determine the best course of action.

I didn’t list Oak Harbor because I personally believe they will more than likely leave, as much as I don’t want that. I believe they will sadly. Marg will be asked to move up then the river will split into one of its own. Heard it here first What exactly would be the benefit for the River schools to split into their own league when they already have their own division in the SBC? I see no motivation for the small schools to want to do that, especially since many of them have been screwed in the past when a few schools leave a league and the league disintegrates. While certainly not perfect, the scale of the SBC provides "safety in numbers".

Will anyone challenge Hopewell-Loudon? Only an injury to one particular person can stop Hopewell in the River, unless they have another recruit, errrrrr... "transfer" living in a trailer parked in a field owned by the coach?

Ummm... we do graduate the franchise, 7 seniors all the 6 footers are gone, the setter is gone, the libero is gone, an outside is gone, a DS is gone.. although i like who we have coming back, we won't be scheduling calvert, that wouldve been a major challenge this year... let alone next.. Didn't know that you are losing all those players...just thought it would be fun for both teams if all things were equal. With Calvert bringing that much back next year, I hope they schedule "UP" to challenge their team with bigger schools. It always fun to see David vs. Goliath, even if David loses...and that kind of competition is always good for the kids. Congrats on the title sportsvideo, good to see TWO SBC teams getting the big trophy. Shame the game couldn't happen next year, I and a lot of people would have liked to go to that one! You don't have to worry about Calvert playing up... they played St. Ursula, Columbian and Norwalk this year (even though Norwalk had a down year). Huron vs Calvert would have been amazing this year, maybe they can get together next week and call it an "all star game"?

Apparently SJCC and SMCC has scheduled a game for Oct. 30th at SJCC. Does anyone know if this is going to be played as 8-man or 11-man? I found out the answer.... they will play this game as 11-man.

Any inside info to back this up or is this just your opinion? To my knowledge SJCC is not looking to go 8-man. They have around 25 kids on the team this year and based on the size of classes in the middle & grade schools those numbers should remain pretty consistent or even go up in the near future (the junior class is very small compared to the average class size). Granted, they are not competitive this year but that doesn't mean they are looking to go 8-man. If the OHSAA ever officially recognizes 8-man, I imagine many smaller schools would be on board and that would make it much easier to fill a schedule instead of playing the same teams twice or go to Michigan. They need to create a Division 8 for 8-man football. I was told by a very good source last year that they were looking at the 8-man option. Both SMCC and SJCC were slow to make any decisions (obviously SMCC finally did) and it blew up an expansion attempt. I tend to believe that person. If the OHSAA sanctions 8-man I see many of the smaller schools going this route. And fast. Interesting to hear. I honestly wish they would go 8-man, SJCC usually produces some nice athletes but they just don't usually have the overall size to compete with many other schools. When they do have the size, there is no depth and they are on the field both ways the whole game. 8-man could close that gap. But without OHSAA sanctioning and not many schools playing 8-man, I completely understand being hesitant with the scheduling mess.

I think 10 years from now we will look back at the addition of these two schools as what caused the River Div. to break away and have their own league What would be the benefit of the River breaking away from the SBC? They are pretty much their own league anyway with the security of flexibility when schools choose to leave. Its also a huge advantage for less popular sports like wrestling to compete in the SBC where they can fill out most weight classes with more than a few kids. I honestly can't think of one disadvantage of staying under the SBC "umbrella".

Thanks. These two additions would bring the River back up to 8 football schools. However, what about SMCC? Last I knew they didn't officially join that 8 man Northern 8 league with Danbury because they wanted a 2 year commitment and SMCC thought there would be a chance of returning to 11 man ball soon. If they try to come back into the 11 man picture that would put the River Division at an odd number (7 with the current schools, 9 whenever Woodmore and Northwood start play) Something also to consider is the state of Fremont SJCC football. They very well may go to 8-man, even as soon as next season. Any inside info to back this up or is this just your opinion? To my knowledge SJCC is not looking to go 8-man. They have around 25 kids on the team this year and based on the size of classes in the middle & grade schools those numbers should remain pretty consistent or even go up in the near future (the junior class is very small compared to the average class size).

im watching this game on tv this morning.. and it was obvious who was the better team and it showed... 4th qtr..and this always kinda gets me a bit. team that is up big is playing younger kids, not a single starter remains in the game,, other team still has its starters out there, and is pressing like a mad dog to make a game of it.. now i get the part, trying to change the culture and teach kids to never give up,,, but what are you really doing? are you asking for a bigger bum bum kicking? are you asking the other team to rip you for 60+? then you onside kick.. also you had 15 kids that never saw the field.. someone please enlighten me where does this make sense? I don't think Clyde would be too upset with this. They get some experience for their younger kids vs first stringers, should be a positive for the future. The bigger problem is when idiot coaches keep their starters in and keep blasting away when they are up by 35+ points (football & basketball). Too many local coaches around like that.

Your written words were SO WRONG they did not "make sense" = nonsense, but at least you finally admit you were wrong about something. Based on your predictions you clearly don't have anything meaningful or constructive to add to the topic, maybe you should move along. Your babysitter could probably help you with the name calling ideas. I can't imagine your mom left a five year old all by himself while in the Caribbean. LOL, who's the toddler in the room? Please, don't move along hater. You're easy "pickens" and it's gonna be fun watching you make a fool of yourself. Who's the toddler? Clearly you. Juvenile name calling is all you have when you know you can't win the argument on the facts. I can't wait for your next great prediction!!!

"girlygrid"..... oohhhhh burn! I didn't realize you were a five year old. What's next... I know you are but what am I? Well.... your preseason prediction was that Willard would score enough against Clyde to keep it competitive and my prediction was that it would be a running clock. Not only did Willard not score enough to keep it competitive, they didn't score ONE POINT! Final score 35-0 with a running clock. Somehow, even with my "lack of understanding high school sports" I was able to predict exactly what happened. Now as a five year old, you may not understand what the word "nonsense" means so here is the definition: "spoken or written words that have no meaning or make no sense." Your prediction was nonsense and that was proven on the field. You were right about one thing, the original post was by crimson5 not truecrimson. I'm not sure why truecrimson jumped in and was so angry if it wasn't even his post but I apologize, you deserve all the "credit" for the prediction. Now go ask mom and dad to help you come up with some better name calling ideas. Dad passed away some 40 years ago, I was in college. Mom is traveling in the Caribbean, or I would give her a shout. So I'll stick with girlygrid for now until I can consult with her. Using the definition you provided, my written words "had meaning" and they "made sense". They were just wrong. Trolls like you need to get a life. If you don't have something constructive or meaningful to add to the topic, move along hater. Your written words were SO WRONG they did not "make sense" = nonsense, but at least you finally admit you were wrong about something.

Seriously? If you think posting on a message board is in any way "building confidence" in a program, you are the one who needs professional help. Building confidence for who? Do you really think the teams pay any attention to what you or anyone else on here posts? I can see it now... the coach stands up in front of the team in the locker room before they hit the field. Coach says, now listen guys, we have a though challenge ahead of us but truecrimson thinks we can score enough to keep it close so lets go out there and fight! First of all girlygrid, learn how to follow posts on here, truecrimson is not the one who posted that....I did. Secondly, the only thing thats "nonsensical" on this thread is your understanding of high school sports....especially realative to preseason predictions. "girlygrid"..... oohhhhh burn!

You do understand that some of these kids look at this pro board and see a d*ck named gridiron58 talking a bunch of sh*t about them right? You understand they’ve got some pretty big kids who could probably whoop your a** right? I would just be quiet and go talk about someone else at this point man. It isn’t worth it. I didn't talk sh*t about the kids. I simply called out someone's statement that was just nonsense. A statement that anyone who knows anything about football knows was just nonsense. Everyone knew (or should have known) this game was a mismatch. That is not a put-down to Willard, Clyde would be a mismatch for many D5 schools. I thought that this was a discussion board where you share your opinion on different sports topics. If you throw nonsense out on a discussion board and it's proven terribly wrong, you should be prepared to take a little flack. If I'm wrong on something I post I can take it like a man, not make a bunch of excuses like "I was building confidence in a program" like I'm some massive important influence on the kids of a high school football team. I have nothing against Willard or any other high school student athletes. This has nothing to do with the schools or athletes, this has to do with people acting like they know something when they really don't and then not being able to accept criticism when proven wrong.

Move on to another stream where someone gives a crap about your moronic statements. And for the record, I do not have a negative attitude toward Willard... I have a realistic one. Posting that they were going to score enough points against the defending state champions to keep it competitive was moronic, and the final score proves it. I would seek some professional help for your anger towards people trying to build confidence in a program rebuilding. Seriously? If you think posting on a message board is in any way "building confidence" in a program, you are the one who needs professional help. Building confidence for who?
