Two things: 1. Covid-19 messing up the season schedule in such a way that the Bay schools had no choice but to accept a full Lake-Bay crossover week to start the season 2. Willard's new coach is a Clyde alum And as long as you aren't getting beat 70-0 then it boosts confidence for a program that hasn't had a winning season in nearly 20 years. Yes, I know it's a loss but getting beat 35-0 by Clyde is better for confidence than beating Plymouth 35-28. The kids know the difference between Clyde and Plymouth. Same thing as Youngstown State losing to Ohio State 35-0. That's more of a confidence booster than beating Dayton 35-28. Never is a loss better for confidence than a win.

I didn’t get to see this game and to be honest I was surprised to see that Clyde played Willard .. How did that come to be?? Willard is like what 3-4 wins in the last 4 yrs ?? What am I missing here?? Was Willard just a fill for Clyde ?? Sandusky, Bellevue, Clyde, Norwalk, Tiffin, Perkins who do you want?

You're a trolling punk! Sounded like Willard held their own for 3 quarters and that was the difference. BTW, got any crack for sale? Well, when someone posts something so completely nonsensical like "Gotta be honest, I'll be a little surprised if the clock is running in the 2nd half. I think Willard will score enough points to keep it competetive. Just not sure the defense can stop Clyde from putting 40+ on the board." You deserve to get called out on it. Sorry no crack here, you might want to check with your usual dealer. Move to another stream where someone gives Poop about your negative attitude towards this team.

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.

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!

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.

Secondly, the only thing thats "nonsensical" on this thread is your understanding of high school sports....especially realative to preseason predictions.

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.

My simple Question was how come Willard had to play Clyde the defending Div 4 state champs ..?? And yes I said this in the past .. Clyde needs to play Fremont .. playing Willard?? Really ?? I guess I don’t get it.. They won’t Play Fremont because the Clyde AD put a stop to Fremont even being considered joining the SBC but letting them play Willard is right up their alley ?

There are 6 schools in the Lake. There are 8 in TRAC. With 6-game schedule, it was not going to work. Heck, Ross isn't playing Central because of logistics.

Clyde is 26-13 in 15 appearances with 2 Titles, 1 Runner-up, other Final Four trips, and one colossal upset to Central Catholic in 13. It's probably a good idea to layoff Fliers' nuts in this case.

I understand the point about Ross, but for this season, somebody was going to draw Willard and drill them. I think we all agree that Perkins is/was the bottom of the SBC Lake, and Vermilion is/was the bottom of the SBC Bay. Between Bellevue, Clyde, Norwalk, Columbian, and Sandusky, one of those was going to play Willard and drill them. After seeing the Week 1 results, maybe it should have been Sandusky, but logistics played a part in who drew who in Week 1 too.

What if Perkins was coming off a playoff run OR had almost everyone back from an 8-3 season, does that change who you think Willard should get?
Is Clyde favored to win a State Title again this year. Maybe the logic was Clyde loses a lot from last year.
Are you saying since Willard is traditionally bad they should be done a favor?
Norwalk is the closest school to Willard. That sounds like Norwalk should be playing Willard.
Lets be honest, if possible, most likely Willard is going to get blown out by every school in the Lake this year.
IF there's going to be another pandemic next year, Willard should get to choose.
Maybe Willard just got the short straw.
See why it was a simple ton question?

IF there's going to be another pandemic next year, Willard should get to choose. Maybe Willard just got the short straw. See why it was a simple ton question? I think the matchup benefited both teams. Clyde struggled in the first quarter. They had alot of unknowns coming into the season. Most notable an unproven QB and running game. They broke open in the 2nd qtr with a couple big plays and an untimely turnover by the Flashes right before the half. Clyde also struggled a bit in the 2nd half offensively. They certainly found a few weaknesses they need to work on, most notably their run defense. Willard got see a football team/program on a completely different level. Hopefully Willard recognizes they need some kind of pass offense to keep defenses honest. Willards pass defense needs work. Willard needs to get the ball in the hands of their best athletes. Numerous times Willard struggled getting the play call into the huddle in a timely manner, resulting in a penalty, timeout, or za hurried/unorganized snap. Many other things that could be listed for Willard. Sure the final score was a blowout, but I'm certain Clyde learned some things. The Cook kid is a keeper and will be a force over the 2 years. I'm glad our boys got to play the defending state champs, and I know our boys are glad as well.

COACH. IS. FROM. CLYDE.
- There were literally only 21 days between the OHSAA announcement of the season structure and week 1, the Toledo publics were not available and every conference with more than 6 teams jumped straight into their league schedules.....so for the Bay and Lake that pretty much meant play each other or don't play at all.
- With everyone making the playoffs and these not being division games, these week 1 games could more or less be considered a glorified scrimmage, especially in a year where scrimmages were limited and in some cases non existent.
- So why not volunteer to play against your defending state champion alma mater to see how you stack up when there is nothing to lose?
- Also, if Clyde had showed up to play Fremont in week 1 it would have created a really awkward situation up in Oregon with the Clay kids wondering why a second visiting team had shown up to their field wanting to play their scheduled league opponent.
