Congrats to both Perry and LC. I felt like the DV state championship was an great representation to DV football this season. This was a competitive division as a whole, and two quality football teams playing for the championship.

Congrats to Marion Local. They are an absolute Gold Standard of small school football. With few seniors on the team, they'll undoubtedly be back next season as well.

Congrats to both teams on fine seasons. I expected Alter to have a better showing, but in reality, this game just showed the dominance of Glenville. They truly are at another level than all other DIV schools.

Hats off to Versailles. Congrats on a successful season. Congratulations to Kirtland! Always such a fundamentally sound, tough, football team. Their defense was outstanding today. Made things difficult for Versailles all game long.

Congratulations to Kirtland! What an impressive showing!

Kirtland's been very dynamic with their play calls on offense and has been outstanding overall on defense. They fly to the ball when you run the ball, they've defended the pass very well. Outside of Versailles's one TD pass, their WR's have been blanketed all day. Nothing easy for Versailles...

Congratulations to Massillon Washington and their fans! Well earned!

This game is basically two defenses playing well, and Hoban’s miscues with turnovers, penalties, and a blocked punt.

I do not believe that for one second. I love the traditional programs matching up. Looking forward to it.

Valley View and Coldwater. Luck for us, that's Week 1 the next two seasons!

I actually agree that LC will be the best defense that Perry has played this season, with possibly the exception of Kirtland. But both are elite level defenses at the DV level. LC's defense is the reason they are in this game and were able to beat perennial powers like Coldwater and Valley...

Really no reason to dignify it with a response......

I was not overly impressed with HP when I watched the Ironton game. They were shutout in the second half and their offense lacked a real passing game. They were a good team, with a great defense, and many fast skilled players. When I saw they lacked the balance a passing game would bring, I...

I'm assuming a lot here, but VV always has a good offense and good QB. I anticipate they'll find a new QB that can run this offense. Undoubtedly they'll miss Henson's experience. He was a very talented QB as a soph, but grew into an outstanding QB by his senior year.

QB and RB return, both were studs.

Alter's most dynamic teams and offenses mix in the spread. It just requires a certain QB to implement it, and the skill players to help. But some of their state championship teams ran the spread as well. I used to always say, the best Alter teams get out of the wishbone at times and spread...

Losing a three year starter in Henson will be difficult for VV to replace. I say that, but the Spartans also seemingly always have a solid QB as well. VV did play a lot of younger players this season in key positions, so the foundation is in place. I would expect to see a lot of the same in...

I've got: St. Edward 28 Springfield 14 Remarkable turn around by Springfield's football team. They've been outstanding these playoffs. I have to go with St. Edward though. I think that's a hurdle the Wildcats just can't figure out how to get over.

I believe a majority of the DIV followers believed that Glenville would run away with this division. That group would include myself as well. I also didn't expect Alter to seemingly have everything fall into place at the right time either. The Knights win over Steubenville was eye opening...

Dalton looks like a fine football team, but I give the edge to Marion Local by 2-3 TD's. They've been here before, and are so reliable at this point in the season. I'll go with: Marion Local 35 Dalton 14
