Amazingly that “weak region” is representing the state in a championship game next week.Playing out of Statecans at Home and weak Region can only get one so far
D IV State Semi-Final: Steubenville (12-2) vs Wyoming (14-0)
- Thread starter Crimson and Black

Looking at the roster of who played. You get just about every contributing skill player and 5 OL back.
Got to find a QB but having backs like Faulks and Minniefield should help with that transition.
I’ll stick with they win the region or at least play in the regional championship barring injuries that could effect any team.

These idiots are hilarious “1st meaningful win since 17”. Yearly 90% of teams that walk onto a field in July have zero shot to play 1 meaningful game.
The program at Steubenville allows meaningful playoff games basically a yearly tradition win or lose.
what a Dumb F@CK
I could be wrong, but I think he was talking about Steubenvilles schedule, since Wyoming didn't play any out of state teams.

we had a first-team WR in 2018 (joey edmonds), and a sophomore WR that now plays WR at OSU (joop mitchell). also, i did stats for that team, and it was run first then pass, with the same OC as now.
275y. first time since september wyo has passed for over 100y. the OC called a helluva game.

This game was everything we hoped it would be. Wyoming has a great team/program and pulled out the win.
Big Red tried to get cute several times which led to negative plays. The pressure the Wyoming D-line put on Hill didn’t allow him to set his feet and through the ball. Our O-line was run blocking extremely well and I think we had almost 300 yards rushing. Once again, we fumbled the ball in the red zone when we could have just about put the game away.
Defensively we played well against the run and held Hester to under 100 yards. Not sure how long it’s been since that happened. However, the “tackle the pass” mentality bit us AGAIN. It seems like the plan was to force Wyoming to pass to win and that is exactly what they did.
Congratulations to Wyoming on the win. Hester is probably one of, if not the, best back I’ve ever seen in person. Beat Glenville!

Nice stadium but way to big for this game. Also expensive with $10 parking and $4.50 bottles of water.

1. only time this year hester under 100y. 2. and nobody ran like that against wyo all year, including taft or massie. 3. the difference was turnovers, and wyo's OC called passing plays when hester got bottled up.

Ironically, Hester STILL scored 3 touchdowns-- but, yes, Steubenville did a good job on him (when he was in the game)... he still made some plays (some of them on pass plays) but he did not have much room to run last night.

1 term I hope to never hear again is “tackle the pass”.
Big Red needs to stop going to Ohio State Defensive Pass Seminars. Maybe Penn State or Michigan’s.
Is Steubenville really closer to Columbus than than Cleveland??
I’m still shocked they didn’t play Jefferson to be honest. Would love to have been a fly on the wall in that OHSAA meeting where Ted Ginn tells OHSAA who he is playing in the playoffs. Most really have some dirt on OHSAA up there at Glenville.Plus Glenville winning is such a trendy things right now. Good Luck Wyoming!!
You had 1 underclassman contribute (RB). I read on here about the WR who was garnering “interest” from D1 & don’t think he had 1 catch. So, I guess running off and on the field is your definition of contributing, then yes we can guess you have all guys back who aren’t seniors.
We can probably go back to your yearly thread posts and see the same quotes. Everyone back next year,
barring injury…..
Yes! But not the Big Red! ROFL!
Nice stadium but lousy turf field. Players on both sides had numerous slips and falls.
The entire state is trying to figure out how OHSAA has allowed Ginn to use the Ginn Academy that creates a "loophole" in the system. They are a D-1 team (at the least D-2). The way kids can play football for Glenville, yet not be counted towards their enrollment is actually genius..........and unfair! It will be a tall order for Wyoming (or any D-4 team) to beat them!
Yea They need to decide if it’s going to be a Soccer Field or
Get the Stadium restructured to a Football Stadium. They need to
Drastically reduce parking cost and concessions. The other big problem
with Crew is there is nothing around the Stadium. Restaurants etc.

19 regional championships in 40 years. So yes it’s basically 50/50 shot to be back because of how it goes at BR.
So a closed enrollment school from an upscale Cincinnati inner ring suburb with a very non diverse enrollment beats an open enrollment team it is a survey. Wyoming is within 10 min of St X, 15 min to LaSalle and 20 minutes to Moeller yet still manages to field competitive teams. My grand nephews go there and are super excited. Having seen Glenville beat up Avon (D2region finalist) I’m guessing Glenville steamrolls Wyoming but you never know.

He missed one series. Please don’t minimize the job Steubenville did with him. Yes we bottled him up but the first pass he caught in 11 weeks went for a TD. Wyoming OC did a fabulous job getting their playmakers in space and by being able to abort the run and win with the pass. Kudo’s for Wyoming. 1 play was the difference between winning and losing. Proud Steubenville Big Red fan signing off. As far as Glenville goes I think they saw the dangers of loading the box and I think Hester could really go off. At least I hope so. Go Cowboys beat Ginnville!!

He also played every snap at DE! Contributed big time in stopping hester.
It's going to be extremely hard for any D-4 school to beat Glenville. (Which isn't actually a D-4 school. More like a D-1 or D-2 school) Hopefully OHSAA addresses it next year. Schools like Steubenville and Wyoming should get a fair chance at a championship.

Let me get this straight.. Glenville is Literally sending non-athletes to an academy under the ruse of helping kids to drive down Glenville enrollment to be elite in sports???
Beat up Avon? You must have been to a different game. The game was back and forth all game long with Avon deep in Glenville territory at the end when the Tarblooders sealed the win with a goal line int. That all being said, I expect them to beat a very good Wyoming team for their first state title.

He was talking about Steubenville, not Wyoming. Go to almost any Steubenville thread and you will see the same comment by the clown Maple City Fan. Loves to troll Big Red.

I'm convinced that any school that fully utilizes open enrollment will beat a closed enrollment school 95% of the time. They draw more athletes, it's that simple. I'm speaking of the volume vs attrition sports, mainly football.
