Kenton's 42-0 loss to Kenton?Thoughts on the season so far? I’m surprised by Kenton’s 42-0 loss to Kenton and how good Van Wert has looked. Other than that, the season is exactly what i thought it would be.

it is fixed now lolKenton's 42-0 loss to Kenton?
So far this season, Elida and Defiance are a bit disappointing. Both lost week 1 out of league games, and Elida's was to Delphos St. John's. Defi seemed like they were turning a corner last season as they were 4-2 to start the season, but have since lost 6 in a row.Thoughts on the season so far?

Defiance wasn’t a different team. They started 4-2 and then faced the 4 best teams in the WBL, and they only lost to OG by two points. Defiance was a borderline playoff team. If they beat Elida ( who they lost to by 4 earlier in the season) and OG, they would have made the playoffs, especially in region 10, pound for pound one of the weakest regions.
Team vs team who’s better? The WBL or the MAC?
Shawnee would not be New Bremen this year.Let’s go down the list
Wapak = Coldwater
St. Mary’s > Anna
OG > Fort/Minster
Van Wert < Fort/Minster
Kenton < Marion Local
Shawnee > New Bremen
It seems pretty even. I’ll give the edge to the MAC though because they are smaller so, pound for pound, they are better. I say Wapak and Coldwater are equal because in their scrimmage they looked pretty equal, except Coldwater’s defense absolutely dominated Wapak’s offensive but since then they made changes on the line and Kaeck didn’t play in that scrimmage.

Man, we could debate this all day long! So Wapak and Coldwater are even. Then Coldwater and St. Marys would go into overtime. But St. Marys is better than Anna (who, by the way, were preseason favorites to win the MAC). Kenton isn't as good as Marion Local, that remains to be seen. Nobody really knows anything about New Bremen or Parkway yet, even though, they are both 2-0. Well, I'll give you this, Celina is definitely 1 point better than Versailles. Even though Elida lost to St. John's who was waxed by LCC (who I don't know if they're even ranked in D6 even though they should be).Let’s go down the list

We could go on, and on...
I wonder what the St Marys records are for passing in a game. I was surprised to see them throw for 3 TD's. Watch out, Kenton! There's a new air raid threat in the WBL. ?The most interesting part I think is that St. Mary’s played their third quarterback of the season in Bubp and he just threw 3 touchdown passes. If you give St. Mary’s a passing element, they are nearly unstoppable. I wonder if they’ll keep him there and continue trying to pass.
Soon SM will be traveling the country looking for 7on 7s to dominateI wonder what the St Marys records are for passing in a game. I was surprised to see them throw for 3 TD's. Watch out, Kenton! There's a new air raid threat in the WBL. ?

After last weeks game against Van Wert Im a little hesitant to think Wapak is going to win big at Shawnee. Im afraid teams are getting film and our offense is so bland right now stop Kaeck make the other weapons win the game. It's hard to believe that the biggest school in the WBL cannot groom a throwing QB every year. I know that isnt our strength but to be able to run and pass make our team alot harder to stop. Just imagine if defenses couldnt just worry about Kaeck who is a beast but also the pass opens alot up.Doesn't seem like much excitement this week in the WBL. Based on the prediction contest thread, the only real game garnering discussion is Van Wert @ St Marys. Others seem to be forgone conclusions, so it'll be interesting to see if there are any upsets. The VW-SM game should be a good one. They met twice last year with the playoffs and SM winning handily both times. VW certainly appears to have closed the gap this year -- last year they were a clear step down from both SM and Wapak. Last year, VW played Wapak incredibly close and tough. Gotta believe SM will be boosted by finally having a home game and breaking in their new stadium. Will VW play spoiler? Seems like a real toss up to me.
While Wapak's offense does deserve a ton of scrutiny, it's worth noting how front loaded their schedule is. Their offense shouldn't have trouble at all against the middle-lower teams in the league. Running clock. They've shown they can win the WBL. They haven't shown anything this season for me to believe they're going to win the regional title. This may be an unpopular comparison, but Wapak reminds me of Brady Hoke's Michigan teams. Suffocating and elite defense, but terrible offense. Until they develop a consistent passing attack, they'll continue to be a one trick pony.After last weeks game against Van Wert Im a little hesitant to think Wapak is going to win big at Shawnee.

Having seen Wapak play on WOSN, they seem to run a lot of “spread”. Also not sure why everyone thinks running from the spread is some superior thing. Any offense works if the kids know what they’re doing. Of course it gives the fans a reason to think the coaches are clueless though if they don’t run it.The wing t works until you go against a team like alter or someone like that than it’s can we just keep the game close with our defense. I think wapak is athletic enough to make the jump to the spread but obviously they should only change if they feel like they will get better results because obviously it works in the regular season
Wapak schedule stil scares me Kenton with their spread and also they have some size, OG is legit, and Celina can surprise, and next Shawnee who might be tough or just played bad teams. Going deep into the season Kaeck and Merricle playing both ways taking a toll on them 2Having seen Wapak play on WOSN, they seem to run a lot of “spread”.

My issue with a wing t or bone or any strictly run offense is what do you do when you are facing a great defense who stops you? Pretty much hosed and I've sent it so many times. Those so4 of offenses tend to have zero ability to be able to throw itThe wing t works until you go against a team like alter or someone like that than it’s can we just keep the game close with our defense.

I feel that is any team with any offense. Spread teams can struggle getting that extra yard, or grinding out first downs to run the clock. The one thing to what seems like every team that is good though? They all have good coaches with good players and can play defense.My issue with a wing t or bone or any strictly run offense is what do you do when you are facing a great defense who stops you?
