Any word on how the MOAC schools are doing in 7 on 7? haha, doesn't matter much without the line play, kinda like summer basketball isn't always a good gauge on how a team will be when the Winter rolls around. Also, Shelby is still the league favorite until someone can knock them off the top spot, I like Clear Fork's chances though.

Shelby has only one defensive starter and three offensive starters returning. While jayvee team was good last season, too many question marks and unknowns will make it difficult for them to repeat IMO. Think Clear Fork, Harding, Galion and Ontario will be in the mix for the championship.

I would not say that you are wrong but in most of Shelby 's varsity games they had a lot more than just 22 kids playing so even though they may not have been starters they return plenty of experience.

I also don't have faith Eckert is going to get it going. They need to cut off this Bucyrus pipeline they have had going the last few years with coaches. Harding, CF, Shelby, and to me the wildcard is Highland are likely your favorites. What does RV have back? They didn't play much defense last year so to me I can't buy into them being contenders. Pleasant... well, I just don't see them at the top, I think they will be in the middle of the pack.

To me CF will be the team to beat. Shelby will need the inexperienced players to step up as they lost at least 20 seniors. Harding should be really solid. Highland was really competitive last year in the KMAC, how that translates to the MOAC reamins to be seen.

Got to see Shelby at the AU 7on7 on Wednesday and Both of their QBs have good looking arms. However the only kid catching TDs was Ramsey. Shelbys defense just looked ok but nothing special. They will probably still have a winning season just because the league is weak. Im not going to say any names but I hear that Shelby may have a couple players suspended to start the season.

How can one tell what an offense will look like when there is no offensive line? No pass protection, no run blocking, no running game.

7 on 7 is a way to keep kids from sitting on the couch and playing video games all summer. It’s fun. It encourages competition. If you do well it builds confidence. All good things. Most high school teams run way more than they pass. As already mentioned it factors zero in line play. A QB looks great when he doesn’t have a 200 pound D lineman running him down. I wouldn’t make a lot of season predictions based on them.

Harding will have the best athletes in the area, but that hasn’t meant much for them in the past. There’s an RV transfer on the team I noticed.
Galion will be better with the now junior class. Pleasant will be down, RV should be better. Shelby takes a step back, still battles for league with CF, maybe Harding.
Highland and Galion similar strength.

Might as well get a thread started. Thoughts on the upcoming season? Shelby has dominated in the 3 seasons since joining the MOAC, but the lose over 20 seniors. River Valley and Harding should improve can they make a run at it? Clear Fork is always solid will they be back in the conversation? Galion was disappointing last year, will they improve? Highland is new to the league, what’s their chances? Pleasant and Ontario were at the bottom, will they improve?

I am predicting the Colts to win the MOAC in 2022. While quite a few teams have some nice pieces, the Colts bring the entire package. They return nearly every player from a team that went 6-4 a year ago, have several kids breaking weight lifting records, have a senior class who has been playing varsity since their sophomore season, have sophomores and juniors who seldom ever lost (if any) 7-9, and have two move-ins. They are strong, big, and quick up front, and will have at least three backs that can rush/catch for 500 + yards a piece. Not to mention, they have a very football savvy head coach. The Colts are a very deep team and will beat several MOAC opponents by 20+. Lucas and Granville will get them ready for MOAC battle.

The Cubs biggest question mark is at OL/DL. If that unit is better than expected, they should be pretty dang good. Their skill guys are top notch. They will have a ton of speed.

hmmm, St.Paul not playing SJCC anymore on Week 2? I like the Clear Fork-Lucas matchup. Nice backyard gameWon't be long! Lucas fan here. Really looking forward to that game. For my Cubs, it will be a great test to see where we stand for our super tough schedule. 8/19 H Clear Fork (0-0) [IV:14] 8/26 H Hillsdale (0-0) [VII:25] 9/2 A Wynford (0-0) [VI:22] 9/9 A Mapleton (0-0) [VI:22] 9/16 H Mogadore (0-0) [VI:21] 9/23 A Ashland Crestview (0-0) [VI:22] 9/30 H Lima Central Catholic (0-0) [VII:26] 10/7 H Linden McKinley (0-0) [III:11] 10/14 A Fort Loramie (0-0) [VII:28] 10/21 A Arlington (0-0) [VII:26] Ouch!

The talk in Shelby is this year's team will go roughly 6-4 this year. I imagine Bellevue, Clear Fork, and MH will cause some issues, and then there will be a game like River Valley or Highland/Galion that wind up as an L if the Whippets are off-beat in the way a lesser experienced team can provide.
These days, 6-4 can land you a #10-12 seed in the playoffs. I'll take it. The MOAC schools usually schedule well for boosting faux quality Harbins. Galion going 3-0 against D6 Carey/Elgin and D4 Upper netted Shelby more points than if they beat a league opponent who went 2-1 against all D4 schools. 6 of 7 MOAC schools made it in last year, so I'm not sweating that too much. Keeping the streak of league championships going would be fun though.

Its going to hurt Shelby starting the season with so many new pieces and having their best returning receiver suspended along with couple other players. Also heard their best returning defensive player quit playing.
Madison is long overdue for a win over Shelby and I think Valentine is going to have those boys ready week 1. Im going to say Madison wins this game.

I’ve been talking to quite a few coaches and people in the area, and read the MNJ and here’s the scoop I’m getting:
CF: returns nearly everyone from a 6-4 squad, depth, speed, are probably the favorite, have a few exciting new kids
Shelby: graduates 22 kids but are still Shelby, they’ve had such a good run in athletics, I imagine they’ll be competitive
Highland: moves to MOAC after playing a bunch of D6/D7 in the KMAC, could compete to be at the top, has a STUD running back in Nauman
Ontario: the MNJ is really talking them up, apparently they have a lot of exciting young talent returning
RV: graduate Lang but return a very good QB in Shidone
Galion: have heard that they will have a huge line but unsure on skilled positions
Harding: graduate a bunch but are still the biggest school in the league, will always have athletes
Pleasant: I haven’t heard great things, but tradition runs deep!!

Agree on most of this Ontario-Studer is a stud RB/LB, other than that, not much Galion will surprise a lot of people. Line is huge, Hunter will be all-Ohio next two years on line. Campbell is a great LB/all-Ohio punter. QB and RB are both Jrs., who played a lot last year Shelby will be interesting, lost a lot of kids, but have Winters, Ramsey coming back at RB/WR. I think their line may be their weak point Clear Fork is loaded, and will be for a couple years. I think they have a chance to make a deep run in playoffs. Clear Fork Galion Harding Shelby Highland RV Ontario Pleasant

Pleasant is doing something different this year to kick off the season. On Sunday evening they are having summer competition finals, a parents meeting, then a community football camp where members of the community can learn football terminology, do drills and practice at a slow pace, then a pizza party, player introductions and finally a midnight practice until 2 am. I have no idea if this team will be any good or not but this a pretty cool evening for parents and fans to come out to experience what it's like.

Ontario- I’m not sure what they really have at the skilled position but their line looks very strong with pretty good size.
Shelby- I watched a couple of their 7on7 at AU and both QBs had nice arms. Ramsey was the only one that seemed to be making plays though. The Line seems to be kinda weak this year. I know its not all about weight lifting and benching really don’t mean anything but their top linemen only Benches 270lbs max and thats straight from their facebook page. If the line isn’t very good that new QB is going to be running for his life all season.
Clearfork- I keep hearing how good they are going to be. They better keep Stupka from making any kind of calls at all because he will ruin them. I was actually surprised that TheOhReport didn't pick Clear Fork at all to win it.
River Valley- Can’t imagine they will be any better then last year. Actually they will probably end up being worse.
Harding- Coach seems to have the program moving in the right direction unless I’m missing something. It would be nice to see Harding get some tradition back. They used to be a straight powerhouse.
Highland- They may have been a good team in the Kmac but I just don’t see them winning many this year in the MOAC. A kinda weak River Valley team beat them by two TDs last year. Thats the same River valley team that only beat a very young Ontario and a horrible Pleasant team. Highland only beats Pleasant this year in my opinion.
Galion- they were a very young team last year and they have some good kids back. Plus I love Coach Dick. He was my position coach at Madison and he was lot’s of fun. He always had a good sense of humor. However he knows how to get work done.
Pleasant- seems like they are heading in the same direction that Harding went. Another powerhouse thats falling quickly.
1. Clear Fork 2. Galion 3. Shelby 4. Harding 5. Ontario 6. River Valley 7. Highland 8. Pleasant

Galion didn’t go 3-0 against those 3 last year. They lost to Carey. Whoops, I was caught in my "thought experiment" more than reality. Pretend I meant the 2018 and 2019 Tigers. Yeah. That'll do it. They went 3-0 on those teams in those years. But Galion and Shelby didn’t play in 2018 and Galion beat Shelby in 2019 so there were no points to be had.
