Have said it for awhile. They can benefit immensely from that.8 man needs to happen.
Add a division or two for 8 man and reduce 11 man to 4 or 5 divisions.8 man needs to happen.
VIIWhat division is Cory Rawson?
Agreed. Put ~120 teams back in D1 and switch back to 6 divisions.Agreed. Too many divisions as it currently stands.

Have a link to the article? And plenty of people have said this forever but how much longer can they hang on staying open?Vanlue coach all but admitted in the Findlay paper today that this season very well could be their last season of football. Didn't discuss 8 man option. The school is down to 155 k-12 (under 12 in each grade). It states they lose 100 kids to open enrollment. When 40% of kids leave a school system the school system clearly has issues.
Does anyone remember what the state said about how many students a school had to have in order to exist back in the late '50s? The school I graduated from consolidated in 1960. I've got the information in an old yearbook, just have to find it.Have a link to the article? And plenty of people have said this forever but how much longer can they hang on staying open?

I think after this season and going into next year the floodgates will open in terms of people going 8-man. It just makes logical sense.They've had multiple chances to do something with the Arcadia district but it's always been voted down. I get people being proud, but it seems like there could be a better way to do this. I'd assume the open enrollment loss is to Arcadia and Carey?
Cory-Rawson staying in the playoffs in their situation was not smart. That's just a lack of leadership. I don't get it - these small schools need 8-man. It seems to me Danbury had a lot more fun this year than they have in the past. Holgate is the same. The more schools that show interest, the quicker you'll get OHSAA to make a move.
How about merge D-I with D-II, merge D-III with D-IV, merge D-V with D-VI, and convert D-VII to 8 man. Go back to the good ole A, AA, AAA format.Keep 6 divisions in 11 man and add 1 for 8 man if you ask me
Not sure what it was back then but apparently currently the state has the authority to force a merger of any public school with less than 325 pupils in a K-12 district. Generally the state will only force a merger if the district is in fiscal emergency, severely under performing etc.Does anyone remember what the state said about how many students a school had to have in order to exist back in the late '50s?

Odd it is not on their website. Since paper sold it has gone down hill. But here is the quote from paper I got.Have a link to the article? And plenty of people have said this forever but how much longer can they hang on staying open?
The original WOSN tweet used the word "forfeited". Both P-G and C-R have said the game has been cancelled. I do not think it is being considered a playoff appearance for either school.Gentlemen,
Is it actually a forfeit? I can remember reading that, at least according to OHSAA, a game that was never started cannot be a forfeit. Is Cory-Rawson going to be credited with a playoff appearance and given a loss? Is P-G going to be credited with a playoff win? I rather doubt it.
Good luck. I'd be interested to see what it saysDoes anyone remember what the state said about how many students a school had to have in order to exist back in the late '50s? The school I graduated from consolidated in 1960. I've got the information in an old yearbook, just have to find it.
Dont they call their rivalry the consolidation confrontation? Honestly there's got to be some sort of tax break or something to sweeten the deal to build one K-12 complex in between Arcadia and Vanlue.They've had multiple chances to do something with the Arcadia district but it's always been voted down.

Sounds like a good idea in theory and I agree with you but that also causes resentment. Especially if the Consolidatee was well supported. Case by case basis.Alternatively, the state could force the consolidation of public schools that do not have a minimum enrollment per grade.
