True, you really didn't get the dig in as O2 did. Apologies. Second time I've misdirected like that this week - I need to stop skipping my meds. Accepted. You're going to make Galiontiger put the war paint on and hunt me down What I really need, along with my meds, is 21-year old Redbreast. Just leave the bottle.

Dude Really its fricken New London they were horrible before he got there took him a few years to flush out the garbage attitude and make them bleieve they could win, then did the same with perkins who I believe before he got there stunk too. Not saying Farlow wasn't any good; I played for him, too. I'm saying that no matter how good his mind was, he could only do so much with the talent he has. I'd say the same thing about Ziegler, except that he is a known quantity for me. It brings a little more of the blame on him, I feel, and away from the team - but not all of it, I daresay.

I've been a Pirate fan since you were peeing down your leg (maybe you still are) so shut up and go try and find all your imaginary Huron Tiger players that according to you, either missed the bus, are lost in the woods, are on drugs, or in jail somewhere. Well clearly you aren't a loyal fan. A few losses and you're saying the program is dead. The length of your fandom doesn't mean anything when you act like a little child. I have been a Huron fan my whole life and have never denounced the program like that. You could learn a few things about loyalty from my dumpy bum bum Go Tigers Never thought I'd ever agree with dump, but...yeah. Everybody hits the skids sometime. Before Farlow, conference crowns were not a regular thing for Perkins football. piratefan knows that, and also knows that in the few years between Farlow and Ziegler, we had a dud or two. Pirates went .500 last year, and weren't undefeated the year before that. Fortunes rise and fall. It happens. It doesn't mean that Perkins football is dead. It also doesn't mean that Ziegler shouldn't be there for the 2019 campaign if things haven't begun to rise again before then. The most successful years for Perkins sports overall (during my 13 years there) were in the mid-to-late 90s - it wasn't until the very end of that that Rock arrived and made the community believe that it should be a FB powerhouse. Before that, Perkins was content to contend in or dominate track/xc, baseball, swimming, and golf. The best years I spent at Perkins were when it was a country-club-sports monster and a football wet noodle. Imagine being among the PC faithful - they've been relishing some well-deserved success now for a few years, but only after spending nearly a generation locked in the basement. Sursum corda, Pirate fans. Our days will come again.

yeah this one might not be pretty. norwalk sucks but not to the point where they should be playing a river team. pirates are worst team in lake for me I still want to give Perkins the benefit of doubt vis-a-vis Columbian, but my gut says you're right.

BRING BACK THE ROCK! WITH FARLOW....ORDER IS RESTORED & THE WINNING BEGINS AGAIN! Rock was a better motivator than they have now, but everyone forgets he had 3 terrible seasons @ New London before he arrived.

Yeah, galiontiger, moacfootballfan dangled that out there and you bit hard. I understand, but I can't imagine what he knows about the team's chemistry unless he has an uninterested observer in the locker room. That's a piece of the puzzle the public doesn't see at all and rarely hears much about. Meaningless sniping at what he saw as an easy target. I didn't really dangle anything out there except my honest opinion of the team. Â As I said in the post that was quoted, "Not knocking on Chase" but apparently an objective observation is a trigger. I wasn't the one that said that Chase was an "overhyped" quarterback. Â That was O2. AND, I have always supported galiontiger's right to talk directly about his son on here. Seems I am the whipping boy for someone else's comment. And yes, I did go to games last year. Â As a matter of fact, every single varsity and junior varsity game last year. I have also watched this years' seniors play every game since 3rd grade. Harrison may not be a "true quarterback" per your definition, but he has played quarterback many of those years. Â I don't think anyone would've thought that D. Watkins was a "true quarterback" either but he played the role. Tanner is not really a true running back either, but he is probably the best we have for that position right now with regard to speed. Â We do have that back last week that really looked good as a power back though. True, you really didn't get the dig in as O2 did. Apologies. Second time I've misdirected like that this week - I need to stop skipping my meds.

IMO, Truckers still aren't the worst team in the Lake Div. That dubious distinction, I feel, is to be debated between Perkins and Columbian this year.

I could careless about what conference they are in its the coaching staff that makes want to scream you have a head coach who is not in the game anymore yes he was a great coordinator and position coach but I'm pretty sure has yet to have a winning record like I said he has position coaches who just graduated who should of been made to work their way up the ranks and ESPECIALLY the offensive Coordinator who just randomly calls plays I see no game plan as Ive thought about it it's an athletic director who is incompetent he or she idk who it is has to hear the frustration from the fans when you see kids at RV Pleasant and from what ive heard the star RB at Northmor were all once city kids someone is running these kids off I nearly went cross-eyed trying to decipher that mess. What?

IMO, there's still hope for a win over Columbian, but certainly not a guarantee. I agree that it's already ugly and that Ziegler needs to go, but with a perspective on some of these kids that are now seniors and juniors, gained by me while they were underclassmen and I was in the building fairly regularly, I'm not terribly surprised. We might see not just this year but next as a down year, and even the year after. Who knows? Whatever happens, Perkins has an AD that will work to right the ship before we spend too much time in the gutter. It is unlikely that Ziegler will be replaced this year - last year's .500 record means that this year's eventual train-wreck was at least somewhat foreseeable, and ADs know that even their best coaches can't win 'em all year after year. Ziegler will be given this year as "down year," with next season as his opportunity to rebuild. If he fails then, he'll likely be released. I wish he was gone already, but I knew he was a mediocre mind at best before last year, too.

Crestview
M'ville - though I'm not real comfortable with this until I know if/when Rogers and Watt will return. Their game @ Castalia this past Fri. was an unholy mess against a team that isn't very good or deep. They didn't impress in a sloppy win against St. Mary's the week before, either.
St. Paul - They should just be handed the FC crown now, and play the next 7 weeks for laughs. I'm not even joking anymore.
SC - Impressed by their recent Ws. Good to see a possible breakthrough in Greenwich.
Marion
Shelby
Edison
Clear Fork
Vermilion - Never thought I'd see the day, as a Pirate alum. At this point, though, I don't think they (Perkins) could beat last year's Plymouth team. No discipline whatsoever. Their only hope for a win in the next 7 is Columbian, and that's just a HOPE.

Well I don't know the guy's history, but he's always been high on Chase. Told him at one of the camps that he was the perfect quarterback if he could just learn to plant that back foot and drive the ball instead of relying on his big arm to get the ball there. So I will see Sunday how he performs..sink or swim? lol Even the head coach, Hilvert from Cincinnati LaSalle..loves Chase's hair. You are right there. First thing he said too him at the Orientation Day was, "How's the hair Chase?" LOL To everyone else who replied:....you are totally right. I will say this I don't know where Chase will end up. You don't know how the season will go. You don't know how next year will go...or his 4 years at college..wherever it may be. You just don't know. Hopefully he keeps learning the plays, gets bigger and faster and keeps getting solid grades. I'll be happy as long as he enjoys himself. It all starts this Sunday. I'll let you all know how it goes for him...bad, good or indifferent. I'm hoping to be able to get to up Berea in two weeks to watch the Gold Bowl, but I must confess, if I make it, I'll be rooting for my Streaks. Good luck to your boy, though!

Must be why They didn't raise their ticket price to $7 like some have around here. I haven't seen $7 in our area yet. It might be that way in some of the middle-to-larger schools well south of the lakeshore.

Monroeville's Rogers and Watt had better return soon. Hell, if Crestview can do that to St. Mary's, the Eagles might not have a chance to contend for 2nd place in the FC even with them back.

Perkins Pirates will not win a game this year, IMHO. What I watched last night was a fiasco. The Pirates are the most poorly coached, undisciplined team (if you can even call them that) I have ever seen. The Genoa fans had to laughing at what Perkins put on the field. They look like the Keystone Kops in football helmets. The entire program needs a "house cleaning" and the coaching staff ought to be wearing paper bags over their heads it was so embarrassing. I realize there are up and down years in every program, but watching a VARSITY team that looks like they'd never played the game before is ridiculous. Charging $6.00 to watch that comedy was highway robbery. If I were the Perkins AD, I'd start my coaching search NOW!! Ziegler needs to be fired. From a cannon, for preference.

So a whole 6 teams in the Lake next year. Does Bellevue have to go to Cinci to pick up another game? Maybe go out of state? This new conference crap is doing a great job removing the fans from the game. Five other teams in the conference and no one wants to stomach going to Perkins or Clyde. Guess I'll keep the remote in my hand... Actually, it looks like trips to the Campbell St. gridiron (or FRMC Stadium, as they call it now) will be pretty profitable for anyone this year, and will be for the foreseeable future after that. Get there and get an easy W before PHS can again lure someone who possesses great qualities of leadership and football competence. While Ziegler is there, however, enjoy yourself.

yes agree Margaretta not great but much better than monroeville. Think bears beat them 9 out of 10 times. hilton should be full time qb for marg Agree with you on Hilton. With Rogers still out, I say 9/10 games are victories for Marg. is awful generous to M'ville. Bears looked bad, but the Eagles were a train wreck. I was very worried about them last week, being down for so long against then having to rally past SMCC. It looks like I was right to worry, too - even with Rogers, I think this team would have a more difficult FC campaign than last year. Leroux the junior is picking things up on the ground, but he's not yet to the point we can compare him to Millis or Anderson from last season. Schaub (Soph), taking over for Rogers, puts you in the mind of a JH or Elementary kid in a youth program; he just looks that small to me. If they want to get Horner the ball, it's best if they do it through the air, and let Blackford have a go as well. Eagle passing came too little, too late.

Marg. looked "ok" tonight. M'ville looked dented-tomato-can bad. One was inconsistent, the other "inconsistent-er." Everytime the Eagles made a play, they frittered it away almost immediately. Also, Eagles QB Rogers in jeans on the sideline tonight may be a fsctor. Just noticed thst now.

Eagles punch one in for pride from the 4 w/ 3:10 left. Something must have been said, as Eagle player was ejected as the pile dispersed. Two-pt. att. fell flat from the 20. Bears 35-12.

Eagles go for it on 4th and 4 from own 24. Bears run in to the endzone on ensuing play. PAT is good. Bears 35-6 w/ 5:04 left.
Terrible call by Eags, IMO. Faith's a fine thing, but at some point, feasibility of success and need for damage control should play a part. Although as I write this, 3 great Eags plays put them in Bear territory for the first time in a while.

Eagles fumble, Bears recover, Eagles grab INT near their own endzone, fumble the ball away again. Bears get to 4th and goal on the 5 w/:15 left, pass is batted away by big Leroux. Don't blink here in Castalia.
At least it's equal-opportunity nonsense. Anyone could facepalm yelling "Jeezuss Christ!" and it would be appropriate.
14-6 Bears @half.
