Haven’t seen Valley View but they typically are very athletic and tons of speed. Physical football team. FR is my buddies school. He’s the principal there. Knowing him, he’s a relative of a former VV star QB, he’s got the Indians pumped.
should be a good game.

Much appreciated. We'll continue to provide a good amount of SWBL coverage, focusing on the five schools in our area: Madison, Carlisle, Waynesville, Franklin and Monroe.

Fort Recovery graduated a lot of size off their lines last season. Lehman Catholic had us outsized at several positions but it seemed to be quickness and blitz packages that gave us issues.
Things that can be corrected in practice hopefully.

Northridge is playing a division higher than they should be because of the transfers into NR which raised their competitive balance numbers. Irony is yes, they get talent in, then get boosted up a higher division.
That's not irony, that's the way Competitive Balance is designed to work.

Northridge has been D4 for at least 4 years.

Right, but numbers-wise they would be DV at least this year and next. But CB bumped them up to DIV.

Madison will lose to Waynesville, MU, VV, and maybe Northridge this year. The Bears dismantled Bethel.
Could this be the year of the Bear?

Not to discredit Northridge, but I believe Bethel is very down this year. I saw Madison at a scrimmage this year and they were better than I expected, considering I knew that they lost a lot. I wouldn't make too much out of the Franklin loss right now, because Franklin is a very good team. I am not saying that Madison will win the league, but I definitely would not write them off.

Don't count the Mohawks out yet Bless, they still have won the league 4 out of the last 5 years and they still have to be dethroned. The Mohawks rushed for 200 yards in the first half against Franklin, which has a very good defense. Time will tell...

I wouldn't judge Madison's season on the Franklin game. Buckeye division teams usually do not fare well in crossover games against the southwest division. I don't think anybody from the buckeye division would do well against Franklin, VV, or Bellbrook this year.
Waynesville plays Bellbrook Week 4 at home time will tell! I am excited for the SWBL this year

Milton beat Bellbrook the last time we played. MU plays Valley View this year again. Will continue to play them after the conference change. Franklin is the biggest school in the league. They should dominate. We play and beat Oakwood annually.

As a whole the buckeye division has never done well against the southwest side of the league. The best team on the buckeye side might win a crossover game or two, but historically the southwest side has dominated the crossover games. Two years ago Madison went 8-2 in the regular season and made it to the state semi finals. Their two losses were to a bad monroe team and a good valley view team. I believe Franklin would beat every team on the buckeye side handily. I'm not sure about Madison this year either, I just don't think a big loss to Franklin in the opener is an indicator that they are out of the race for the buckeye title.

Just a reminder, Milton used to be a SW member, and did quite well.
The league is designed to separate larger schools from smaller schools. So typically you are correct. MU was asked to move to the Buckeye because of Monroe being larger.
Since then we’ve done well vs SW opponents.

Since 2012 the Buckeye Division is 23-60 against the Southwest Division for a .277 win percentage. 14 of the 23 wins have come against Oakwood. Carlisle has the best record at 9-11 and Milton is second at 5-9. Crossover games have and always will be bad for the Buckeye division teams. On the other side though, Brookville continues to have quite a bit of success as a DV school on the Soutwest side. Seems odd since Brookville is a very similar to Madison, Carlisle, Shawnee.

Oakwood is the outlier in football on the SW side. Here is our record since 2012. Our current coach has a coach record is 14-26. There hasn't been a bit of rumbling about replacing him here. It is what it is. I think Eaton may be in the same boat but I really can't speak what is going on there. Winning is not a top priority here, and that is from the very top down. IMO.
2012 : 2-8
2013: 5-5
2014: 5-5
2015: 5-5 ( current coach first year)

Why only 2012? Let’s go back to 2001 when the league split into 2 divisions.
oh, and your all-time league champion leader is Milton with 19 titles either shared or not.
The SW should be better with larger schools.

Even when Monroe was on there run 2006-2009 (not counting 2005 because they were in the MML), they were 4-4. They played Valley View and Bellbrook in those years. This also included a thrashing that VV put on Monroe at Barker in 2006.
