I believe the MAC’s first title was in 89 when Minster beat McDonald 16-7. The very next year in 90 both St Henry and Versailles both won titles

Agreed, the takeaway from today should be that Marion Local is absurdly good. They have separated themselves from the rest of the MAC at this point besides maybe one other team a year (this year being Versailles).

Interesting, not sure what jobs would even be available that would entice Shaner to leave, especially since the Ridge program is primed to be good the next 5 years. If he does leave, I’d 100% be certain Hake would be the guy in Ridge

Unless Shaner is leaving for a bigger job there is no way Ridge is getting rid of him.

Those are some big shoes and shorts (correct me if I’m wrong, I believe he wore shorts every game no matter how cold) to fill. The next guy, whomever that will be, will have one of the most difficult jobs in following a transformative coach who built a program to such highs. It’ll be...

Lowellville hasn't played a great offense yet, especially one that can do both run and pass as well as Danville. If Lowellville wins, its because Danville has a few giveaways and Lowellville's offense breaks some big plays.

Oh I know what you were meaning, but when I get a chance to add context to one of your posts, I HAVE to take it. I agree that I hope 2/3 can make it. As for Ridge, I hope somehow neither team wins their game against Mogadore.

While it is true this is the first time in the 3rd round for Ridge and Lowellville, they both have been to the regional semi-finals before: Twice for Ridge in 1998 where they won against Tuslaw before losing to JFK in the regional championship and also 2005 where they lost to Columbiana...

Lowellville handled Springfield, they win that matchup way more than not. That was a 20+ game but Springfield scored on the last play of the game and Low also botched a handoff 1st and goal at 1 earlier that made the score look better. We’ll never know if they played Malvern, but if they did...

Hey not mahoning county over here!

Well they did beat one of those 4 pretty handily. I’d say they probably beat Malvern as well

Danville is tough to rate for a system like that, their schedule wasn’t great and they had a lot of games i’m sure they could have won by a lot more points, but those games were blow-outs already. So they almost certainly were/still are very underrated.

Who on their bingo cards pre-season had Lowellville as being better than last year? I think Danville will beat the Rockets next week, but I see fireworks and a lot of points

Was wondering why Hemberger was all of a sudden running the ball, wasn’t sure if they were just saving him for the playoffs or what. He’s the best player in the league imo so it’s been kinda surprising he hasn’t been used as much on O. Springfield has a chance if they muck up the game imo...

Lowellville and WR play and will send a Youngstown area team to week 13.

So it looks like we have: Lucas at Dalton St Paul at Malvern Springfield at Danville Lowellville at Western Reserve

Really impressed with Danville, especially the QB. But you got about 3-4 guys that are really good, physical players that run hard McDonald, without the starting QB and main rushing threat decided they had nothing to lose and aired it out basically every down. Had some success at times but also...

2 and a half hours is a long drive when you’re a big underdogs. McDonald might set a school record for pass attempts tonight. They’ve had success at times too, had one drive come up a yard short on Danvilles 19 and scored in the 2nd. Danville just got some DUDES

Springfield because of their defense, coaching, and physicality up front. I don’t think the Tigers will score 40 (barring turnovers or other craziness), but I can see them winning something like 28-7. On the other hand, if Monroeville offense gets going and puts up points and the game gets into...

It’s Friday morning lol, my brain isn’t working all the way yet. But thanks! Hoping this isn’t the only playoff matchup between the schools and we can see this in future years when some of the talented classes at McDonald are older.
