Agreed! GGCL Is wide open again. Good conference! Eager to see your MM team this year. Should be good as usual.The GGCL is solid again this year. I have not heard much about the GMC but LW smacked Ursuline and Oak Hills has won two solid games out of the gate.
Doesn't Centerville have something like 5 D1 commits?GWOC teams all down in talent across the board.

GMC I think it'll be West, Mason, Oak Hills, then battle for 4-7, with East, Hamilton, Sycamore, Fairfield.
ECC is going to be another good one! This conference is Lovelands to lose this year. Lebanon and Milford should be right up there as well. Eager to see how Anderson does with losing a ton of talented seniors last year.
Swoc - Ross since Little Miami left.
Little Miami in the ecc seems to be getting a taste of playing the big dogs now and no more swoc scheduling.
How does the GWOC in Dayton look?
MND only graduated 1 SR starter last year, (3 fresh and 3 soph starters) they didn’t pick up any game changers, but are all a year more mature.Unless MND picked up a bunch of players from last year I don't think they will be at a level of ursula and seton, knowing several of the players and coaches at all three schools. MND will be better than MMH and will give ursula and seton a challenge but I think these two teams have a lot of talent and coaches knowing how to use it. As i see it right now MMH and Ursuline will be battle for the bottom, MND in the middle and Seton and Ursula battling for the top spot.

Thats a brutal schedule but that should definitely help them come playoff time.I think MND will drop a few. Their schedule is brutal. Mason, West, East, Anderson, Milford plus GGCL 2x. And that’s after Beavercreek and Centerville games were dropped because of COVID.
Lets not make any prediction but only comment on others, lay it out for me empty cup and soccer toe....
It's not the AD's decision to do that. It's from above, state has limited it. AD just has to follow along. What else will they do? They can't override that decision.For those of us whose kids have finished their high school careers....I find it incredibly short sighted for school AD's to limit attendance to only players families/relatives. With these games played in stadiums that were designed for football attendance....its hard to see why we hard core soccer fans are forbidden from attending this season. In most cases you can have 20 feet or more between everyone who wants to attend.

Help out a bit, that'll get you in the games. Get a media pass and start streaming matches for schools.

What you said did not negate, so why "that's not entirely the case." The mandates were done from the state, not the ADs. So, while there may be "fixed seating capacity," the AD still has to go with what he/she is ordered to do.That's not entirely the case. It's based on occupancy of the fixed seating. For soccer they have plenty of room available in most cases, and can ask for a waiver in others. It comes down to the AD wanting to make things better for their families. It's all absurd but that's the truth. I have been involved in multiple discussions with HD's about this and the AD is VERY much in charge for how everything plays out. It's way more difficult and limiting por football due to athletes, band and cheer parents but if the AD wants to open things up for soccer in most cases they could.
SPECTATORS
By order of the Ohio Department of Health, only 15 percent of the stadium’s permanent seating capacity may be admitted into the game. Players, coaches, officials, cheerleaders, band members, game workers and media do not count toward that 15 percent capacity.

Straight from the OHSAA website. AD is not going to try to push the envelope here. Additionally, all districts are in contact with their attorneys and insurance companies. No way any AD will try to go above those decision makers.

How does the GWOC in Dayton look?
GWOC:
Boro is just a shell of what it was in talent and has a new coach so there is nothing
happening there with the loss of Haverland there’s no D1 talent whatsoever.
Creek is down a lot from last year losing a feisty midfielder to Wright State and Benigno to UD. There’s no one upfront or at midfield that can replace those two but they do have an outstanding CB and Holding Mid that could be D1 bound. They also have a real keeper this year that will keep them in games and probably win the conference.
If Centerville has good players they could probably tie or beat Creek - we’ll see
what happens Monday - I predict Creek 1-0 in a close game. Centerville eked ou a 2-1 win over Miamisburg which isn’t impressive at all.
Fairmont looks to be better but still a 3rd tier program along with Northmont and Mburg.
Compared to the last 4 years this is as bad as
I’ve ever seen GWOC.
