The 3 years we (Centerville) were 10-0 ('76, '77, '83) with a combined 16 shutouts, outscored our opponents on avg. approx. 35-7 and weren't invited to the playoffs...

Coaching is the most important ingredient. Give me an average coach and I'll give you an average team...almost always. That said, weight training is paramount in today's game. A great Strength/conditioning program can turn an average team into a good one and a good team into a great one. Most...

Tom House averaged 18.5 min/gm and 7 pts./gm this season at Furman, a team that won 20+ games. Solid D1 numbers...

Cupps I saw coming after Woodson was let go. Powell, not so much. Would love to see them both wind up at UD. Might be a good fit for them and the Flyers.

Who they wrestled & beat is everything. Thats why the greatest HS'ers should/are always judged by what they did against Senior opponents. Blaze has entered the discussion, at least in freestyle, as among some of the best American HS'ers ever. Those legends, like Blaze, all placed at Senior...

For me, the best ever Ohio 4-timer was Dustin Schlatter. He was essentially an NCAA champ still wrestling in HS. He beat another HS'er in Brent Metcalf, who was also in the same category. Marcus Blaze, if he wins NCAA's next year (most likely), will surpass Schlatter. In freestyle, I'd take...

"i feel lot of kids will transfer out but ig we will see." I feel it will be just the opposite...

Most of us are unfamiliar with all of the computer glitches and intentional malware that small enterprises like yours must deal with, so we defer to our "new natural" default setting and chalk it all up to the usual corporate greed and crap on the little guys like us. I greatly appreciate your...

I actually have loved & appreciated this site for 20 years...including Mr. Yappi...Thanks for making it easier...:)

The horsedung nonstop google ad that erases the bottom third of your content page is still up. So no, nothing is fixed from my perspective. Its so offensive to me and most of us other "geezers" that begining today, New Year no less, I'm checking out probably for good, but at least until its...

Since 1962, Centerville is 459-181. That's 60+ years with a .717 winning percentage. Prior to being playoff eligible, they had 3 teams who were undefeated and six teams with more than 9 wins. Since then, they have been a 3-time state semi-finalist and a 1-time finalist. In Division I, I'd put...

Depending on your age...I'll take that bet...:)

I like him already!

From 1975 to 1985 they were 92-8, 3 times undefeated ( 92%). No playoff invite despite being 2nd of all Ohio teams in total computer points in '76 & 77. State semi's 1984. During the eighties/nineties, their winning percentage was around 75%. State runner up 1991. During the 2000-2010 period...

Didn't say that and have no idea. Just postulating that maybe the Coach knows something we don't. I doubt that he'd be leaving this year if he knew he had a state title contender rolling in for next year. The biggest turn-off for me would be having to deal with the new "transfer & recruiting"...
