That's a really good question. Not sure one way or another. Hope so.

Still not sure I'm following. Lima was never in the NLL.

Not sure I'm following but I'll take a crack at it here. The TRAC for non-revenue sports was not great we'll say for Lima. Football had some good seasons, certainly boy's basketball did very well but for the majority of the sports Lima did not fair terribly well in the TRAC. Would they have...

Said this after last year. Lima kinda came in and ran the show from the word go and does not seem to be stopping. Start, Scott, Bowsher have proven to be some good competition in some sports but Lima definitely found a league where they can compete the entire calendar year regardless of sport.

More so non-football and boys basketball. Football was competitive under Fell in the TRAC but the TCAL has proven to be a notch or two below Lima's talents. Beating Piqua in back to back years, while maybe not as a good a Piqua team as years ago, has been a very good sign. Beating Findlay for...

Barring some catastrophic event, Lima should go 10-0 for the first time in school history. Yes, getting out of the TRAC for not just football, but all sports (except boys bball) has been very uplifting for Spartan athletics.

Right. Lima's hands are definitely tied when it comes to a league.

I get what you're saying but I can assure you no one in Lima is spooked by anything that could or would happen at Start, Waite, Scott, etc....

I thought of Start baseball as well and just wondered why something similar never amassed for football. Agreed too as to the parochial school wrestling.

Just spit balling a thought here but why hasn't / why didn't a Glenville type situation ever develop in Toledo Public? Say one where Start or Scott or Rogers, etc.... "poach" all of or at least some of the city wide talent, possibly even away from central? I realize that scenario would leave...

Start can still win 6 games and maybe slide into the 15th or 16th spot in Region 6. Region 10 is so bad it's entirely possible that Scott could sneak in with a 4-6 record.

Yes. The cut of Olympic sports and junior high athletics really hit the city teams hard. I feel covid took it one step further. I remember schools like Woodward were scheduling smaller Toledo area schools back in the 00s and were getting some W's as a result and now those same smaller area...

Probably have to go back 20 years to a time when the city schools were beating / competitive with the other area D1 / D2 schools.

Lima Senior scored 35 points Friday night against Piqua (remains to be seen how good or bad Piqua is). The rest of the Toledo City Athletic League scored 37 points combined. It's entirely possible that the Spartans will running clock the entire TCAL this fall.

To play devil's advocate here for a moment. All 4 of Bath's wins in 2023 were by a TD or less. So while Bath could've should've would've beaten Defiance and Kenton they could just have easily lost to Shawnee (beat a team that finished 0-10 by 1 point in OT)), New Bremen (won by 7), Elida (won by...

I would say Elida athletics are sad but they've been sad for at least the last decade or more in this century.

My neighbor down here in Greenville, SC is from Fort Wayne and when she first found out I was from Lima asked me if I ever had been to DelFOOS. I dropped my head haha and corrected her.

my college roommate at Toledo would pronounce Bucyrus as "Buckeye Russ". As someone who traveled through Bucyrus multiple times in my childhood I had to correct him only once thankfully. Even people in Ohio have pronounced Lima as Lima, Peru. So I give out of staters a pass if the in staters...

My data came from a neutral party who doesn't have any skin in the game. Yours came from the school itself who would depend on an uptick in enrollment to entice donors to donate more.

Yes by the last day I was little stir crazy to say the least. Xavier University. I never did get a chance to check out St X High School not Elder sadly. I did however check out quite a few UDF's haha. Did not get a chance to try any ice cream though. Maybe next time. Thank you for the run...
