Thank you for the update. I have been a fan of Lombardo's approach over the years. Late November in Ohio, teams need to be able to run the ball when the weather is not ideal to throw primarily to advance the ball on O. Doing so requires a solid O line and a QB that possess the ability to run the...

Agreed.

I have always believed (especially at the HS level) that if you are strong up the middle on O and D, it will typically equate to a solid football team and a positive outcome. If this team finds a QB that is a versatile athlete and makes solid decisions in this RPO offense, it has the balance of...

Congrats Avon!

This was an interesting season that saw key injuries complicate the quest for a four-peat. An absolute 'challenger-like' schedule was one of the toughest in the State of Ohio, but most young men that choose to participate in athletics at St. Edward High School do so because of the opportunity to...

Gregory reminds me of Paul Girgash ('79), an undersized ILB that went on to be a four year starter at the University of Michigan. Go Eagles.

Oline, as currently constituted, is playing the best it has all year. O needs to play 'cleaner', but the opportunities are there for more points. D also played well. Staying healthy as they advance is critical to their success. This team is not as deep as they have been in years past. Very...

... and field position. Make certain Whitmer has to go 65-75 yards to score points. Do not give them short fields to navigate. Go Eagles!

Wilhelm at RG, Marquard at RT, and Woods at LG is their best OL combination. Go Eagles!

The changes have provided a different outcome the past few weeks. The O has demonstrated the ability to score points against some stout opponents. Mistakes aside, this team could easily be 8-2 (Boyle County and Massillon clearly bested the Eagles). They certainly have sacrificed Defensive...

I like what the staff has done with key personnel decisions on O. The team appears more capable of scoring points and less one dimensional. Hoban presents a significant challenge this weekend to these changes. Go Eagles!

No. 64 saw time at ROG against Clarkson.

Still auditioning RG's. They have to get that positioned settled by the post season. The skinny post patters to Hackleman will eventually force D's to go to cover 2, taking more defenders out of the 'box' and allowing for more running lanes. Moeller is certainly a formidable opponent and a...

Nice win Friday night. It appears Eaton and Woods will see more time on O as the season continues to mature. Auditions at right OG are not over. The passing game is evolving. However, this team will need to demonstrate they can run the ball effectively to keep opposing D's honest and avoid...

It will be interesting to see what the Eagles staff decides when playing Ignatius this Friday night. For instance Eagles have issues at OG. The NT's of both Massillon and Glenville caused significant disruption in the running game. The Eagles moved Woods to LG in the second half of the game and...
