Just was texting with some Alliance guys , sounds like Alliance is in turmoil already, kids giving up and refusing to play, others pointing fingers, oh boy. Sounds like the good ol aviators to me .

The better team won and it could have been worse. I heard all kinds of excuses from Lion fans after the game- except that the better team won. You have a better team this year but still the better team won. We have a better all around team by far. You run a generic 1 dimensional offense, your offensive line was overpowered and your QB is average at best. I know “the fast kid” was out but that would not have made a difference. Tired of excuses. Good news Lion fans- #10 is an animal! We were very impressed by that kid. We were worried in the stands after his first carry - he is every bit of the program weight of 210 and my son (warrior player) said they he runs a 4.5 or better, I believe it. thanks to you play caller for not feeding that kid the ball. He may have had 5 carries..He was a handful on the defensive line too (looks Ike a big time linebacker to me). #72 was a very good D lineman. I am very proud of our warriors effort- hoping for some big things this year.Watching the game on an iPad was nice but not the same as being there but it was still nice to see it. Was Markins hurt? I didn’t see him play last night? The running backs didn’t have a chance, lots of missed blocks. Same with the QB, very little time to throw. Coaches need to improve the line play. The defense looked good early, but were on the field constantly. Even though it was 28-0 it was probably the best the defense looked in years. Seemed like a bunch of kids carried the ball. Looks like no feature back and running back by committee.
Sorry, had to step away. You were saying......Lol Salem will beat WB ! Hear the same stuff year after year WB this and WB that, they beat up on cupcakes non league then can’t beat anyone including Minerva in league. And the EBC is not a strong Football conference. League Prediction for me
Alliance
Salem
The rest fight it out
and WB has zero room to talk about 5th year seniors ?
WB 44-20 Final. Overall WB was much quicker than Salem. Hillyer had a nice game. Distributed the ball well and ran when he had to. I don't know how many yards the WB piled up, but it had to be a ton.Anyone have a report on the Salem/WB game? Sure seems like WB dominated from watching the scoreboard. I don’t think anyone expected that. WB that much improves or does Salem surprisingly suck this year? Both?

Well, well. You are more of a man than most of the people on Yappi who refuse to acknowledge when they are wrong. I was messing with you but I have much respect for you now. I do understand the disappointment of WB over the years vs. the hype. It seems like every year they are decimated with injuries but I hope this game showed what they are capable. of when healthy.won’t be the last time I am wrong
As a Lion fan I agree 100%. The better team won. No excuses, watching the game on my the iPad- 27, 21 and 53 looked god for Carrollton and the QB made the throws to keep us honest. 10 and 72 are good players and have been for a few years. Good luck to the warriors the rest of the year!!The better team won and it could have been worse. I heard all kinds of excuses from Lion fans after the game- except that the better team won.

Week 2 League games who do you got?
Carrollton at Marlington
Salem at Canton South
West Branch at Minerva
I have Carrollton winning a close game. But I am partial.
Salem will win against Canton South. Although I hear South could make some noise.
West Branch should get another W.
South finishes off STA today and posts a 20-0 shutout. The Knights have a ton of speed, size and talent and should win some games. Hats off to South on a great all around game vs a very solid opponent.
South looks much improved. They are definitely a program on the upswing. Good luck to the Wildcats the rest of the 2020 season.
Aquinas issues defensively can be corrected with experience as the season goes on. Not sure all the offensive woes are correctable at this point. The Knights are going to have to find a way to get the playmakers the ball on offense if they want a successful season.
I’m sure a lot of folks won’t agree with me on this , but unless a kid is advanced physically or held back with a high level of maturity I disagree with Freshman playing on Friday nights. I have personally see 2 under developed freshman ruined physically. Both have life long shoulder injuries.I can't recall being more disappointed with a week 1 performance from an Aquinas team...this one had high expectations coming into the year...totally outclassed, out-physicalled, out-prepped, out-coached, outplayed.
They have one of the top players in Stark County...a legit D-1 recruit....and they can't figure out any way to get him the ball when they're doing nothing on offense. STA has other good playmakers and athletes too, but with no QB that can throw, no time to throw (line was a huge disappointment), and none of the quick passing game we saw at times last year....they have no chance. Also didn't run the ball very well (and didn't run block)...which could have helped...especially in the 1st half when they were very much still in the game.
Before last week I thought Aquinas could possibly go 5-1 or at least 4-2 against this schedule. Now it's not impossible that they could go 1-5 or even 0-6...there are no gimmies if they play anything like that again on offense.
Kudos to Canton South.... they were the superior team and program in every way this past weekend! I see South easily moving to 2-0 after this week...they have some athletes, some good receivers, solid line play, and a freshman QB who looks to be a future star.

No kid that is a freshman that is playing is your average freshman. Unless they’re playing at a very small school.I’m sure a lot of folks won’t agree with me on this , but unless a kid is advanced physically or held back with a high level of maturity I disagree with Freshman playing on Friday nights.

What would you consider a small school. D4 and Below?No kid that is a freshman that is playing is your average freshman. Unless they’re playing at a very small school.
D6-7What would you consider a small school. D4 and Below?
For example Struthers has a freshman that plays, But he’s 6 foot tall and nearly 200 pounds. He had an interception and forced fumble against Hubbard.What would you consider a small school. D4 and Below?
I’m not sure if they have any players your head coach would be willing to offer or not . I’m sure the booster club will have a few scouts at the game.Alliance fans—According to Arbiter the Aviators’ freshman team plays the Massillon Tigers next Thursday. Comments?
I think Carrollton is a very good football team and I am very curious to see how Carrollton does against Marlington. Minerva certainly struggled on offense and I think, largely due to Carrollton's defense. Minerva's defense probably looked better that it has in years. That game was very hard to get a feel for how good or bad either team is, however, in my opinion I really think Carrollton is a pretty good football team and can play with anyone in the league. I also think if Minerva can clean some things up on offense they will be competitive.The better team won and it could have been worse.
