Being from Lima myself when it comes to Mr. Basketball we recognize that we are not left out of the discussion haha.

Watch Hoop Dreams again (or if you've never seen it , watch it). One of the two kids, William Gates I believe, had his tuition paid in full by a local donor in Chicago with zero alumni ties to the school.

In all fairness the Lima, Ohio area has faired pretty well when it comes to Mr. Basketball.

If they're not careful Lima Senior may get bounced by Northview if they see them in the district finals. Got to get there first of course.

Agreed. As long as community members are willing to pass levies then rock on.

I may have used this on someone else in a prior "argument" BUT the guys I went to school with at Lima Senior who were on the soccer team were not going to make us necessarily better on Friday nights (not that we needed their help in 96 or 97). Outside of kicker / punter it's not like the team...

Depends on your definition of "employed" in that sentence.

Let me rephrase then. School based sports will still matter but the investment on the part of local BOE's and some communities will not mirror any of that. We've already seen P2P become more than a niche stop gap measure by local school boards and is now / has been the new norm in many respects...

I will be curious to see going forward how much of an impact COVID has on programs the same way the 2008/09 recession had on athletic programs, especially in cities. For example, Toledo Public couldn't play basketball until January. Cleveland public cancelled all winter sports period I believe...

Yes to your first question. The market has already created this want / to some need for elite athletic prep schools. This will continue. I don't see a situation where we revert back. Interscholastic competition will exist but at a "intramural" level. That is to say you will still have school...

Yea I can't see it happening any time soon.

This is assuming every DSJ student lives in the Delphos City School District. There is rumor in Lima that DSJ would be closed by the diocese and those kids would have the option to obviously attend LCC if they wanted to make that sort of commute. I'd be curious as to how many DSJ kids come...

There is speculation, rumor and hearsay around Lima land that a DSJ and LCC merger may be in the works from the powers that be. Both enrollments are tragically not what they once were.

I wasted more gasoline on Bawitdaba when I was a young man than any other song period. Just when you think you're done driving, you find yourself back out on Secor or Douglas Road with the hammer down.

High School: Lima Senior til the day I die. College Football/Basketball: Graduate of Toledo, but will watch ND and Ohio State when they are on. NFL: Cleveland Browns NBA: Don't really pay much attention MLB: Indians, but don't watch every game Watch a lot of high school and college wrestling...
