    Not surprising. Defiance was a one class program and they are now gone. Numbers and talent are down in all grades (except 8th). New coach will have a challenge.

    worst neutral site stadium

    Boy, seems like many are real getting fussy. Many great facilities in NW Ohio. All the ones with turf are fantastic. The PH folks from 2005 would have been in heaven to play on field turf rather than the mud bowl at Lima Bath. Defiance and Napoleon have super facilities with great fields...

    Western Buckeye League Prediction Contest, Week 7

    Celina - Bath getting shutout by OG was surprising OG - Titans getting better as season progresses St. Marys - Should control this game Wapak - Their D should be able to contain Kenton Defiance - Stronger than Elida

    St. Marys - Won't lose 3 in a row. Wapak - Appears to be on way to league title Defiance - Should be the favorite in remainder of their games. Celina - Their D should be able to hold Kenton in check. Bath - Looks more consistent than Elida

    Western Buckeye League Prediction Contest, Week 4

    Wapak - Good run defense will prevail Celina - Should be favored at home Defiance - Taking a while, but Defiance is recovering from bad loss at Napoleon Bath - Hard to figure out Kenton OG - Elida may be trending down

    Clock mismanagement by Defiance right before the half cost them the game. Defiance had 2 and goal on the 2 yd. line with 3 timeouts left with around a minute to go. Right after the first down run to the 2 Defiance called a timeout. They should have left the clock run down to around 35 seconds...

    2024 Western Buckeye League Prediction Contest

    1949 Class B State Championship Video

    Great to watch. I have seen video of the 1950 Miller City - Eaton Championship game. Very comparable in style of play with wild shots and quick whistles. Noticed the white (non glass back) boards. In 1950 they had glass back boards but put white paper behind them because neither team...

    Who wins D4?

    Home grown are kids who actually live in the school district boundaries and have for many years, and who did not open enroll for the primary purpose of playing sports. Someone who open enrolls and never moves into the school district is never considered home grown. I suppose this is a public...

    Favorite Gyms in the Midwest Athletic Conference and Western Buckeye League.

    The largest gyms (approx. seating capacity) in the WBL are Elida - 3,200, Defiance - 2,500, Wapak (2,500), VW -2,400, OG - 2,200 (not 2,500), St. Marys - 2,300 (maybe a little more). Celina's gym is a settlemental place but way outdated.
