Since the Captain only has the time and wherewithal to weigh in these days when something monumental happens at Poland, and this certainly qualifies, I only have one thing to say...GO DOGS!!! PS: I wonder what Paladin thinks of this big hire?

The "playoffs" continue again this week for Poland as they travel to Cortland to take on a good, well-coached Lakeview team in The Battle of The Bulldogs. It's another must win game for Poland if they want a shot at Week 11. With Lakeview also coming in at 4-3, I can't help but think they are...

Gameday thread. The playoffs start tonight for Poland. The Dogs have to win 4 games in a row to even have a shot at Week 11. One more loss and the playoff dream for this team is over. Poland must beat East, Lakeview, Hubbard and then Canfield to keep the areas longest playoff streak intact...

The Backyard Rivalry!!! Struthers hasn't beat Poland since 1997, though this year they are coming into this game as the clear favorites...is this the year that the Cats finally get it done? It's on like Donkey Kong!!! Share your thoughts on this big game that Struthers has had circled on the...

The Yapptain Captain felt there wasn't too much to discuss on this one, hence the gameday thread. Hopefully, I will get to post some scores on here later tonight. The Captain doesn't like to like to disrespect any HS school, but based alone on Poland crushing Jefferson 45-8 and in turn...

Poland-Howland has been a spirited conference rivalry game over the years and the Captain expects nothing different this upcoming Friday night at Dave Pavlansky Field. Howland lost their first two games before getting what the doctor ordered last night in playing and thumping Ashtabula Lakeside...

Another week, another big game for Poland in their Friday home opener at Dave Pavlansky Field against Jefferson. Both teams were mentioned as pre-season playoff bubble teams, so neither team can afford to go 1-2. Poland lost their home opener 35-21 to a now 2-0 Marlington team, but rallied to...

Huge Week 2 game for both programs. Could be a game with two teams heading in opposite directions this season, Poland on a possible down year, and Niles finally putting it together after several disappointing seasons? Poland, for their part, has to show that their Week 1 performance was an...

The Captain is absolutely stoked for what is hopefully another exciting year of Poland Seminary Bulldogs football. Judging by what the Captain has been hearing on the street, combined with the fact that NO ONE has even started a thread about the 2016 Poland Bulldogs on Yappi (as opposed to the...

With just two weeks from "Selection Sunday", the draw for what should be a very competitive Division II Boardman Northeast District tournament is rapidly approaching us. First of all, the Captain likes the return of this tourney to Boardman after a two year hiatus spent up north in Warren...

As I accurately predicted a couple weeks ago, esteemed Poland Seminary Head Football Coach Mark Brungard has officially resigned his position for the reasons previously cited by the Captain. While Poland is losing a great football coach, they are losing an even better person. At this point...

The Captain had to be quick on the draw for this one as Poland-Canfield means so much every year, but this is certainly one of the bigger games these two storied rivals have played in a few years!!! For starters, Poland has won this game six years in a row, but this years Canfield team might...

Poland rolls into Week 7 as still the AP #3 ranked Division III team in the State. A hallmark of any great team is that you have to be able to beat the teams you are supposed to beat. The Bulldogs did exactly that last week when they beat its pesky backyard rival Struthers 42-14. Now they...

Wow, what a turn in events for this year's version of The Backyard Rivalry - Poland vs. Struthers! Poland is currently undefeated and the #3 AP ranked Division III team in the State. Struthers got off to a good start with a season opening 34-7 win over 1-4 Liberty; then after losing in Week 2...

The Captain believes in the concept of On Any Given Friday, but this Week 5 matchup was marked before the season as the one of the lesser capable opponents that Poland was to face this year and nothing has seemed to change that. A hallmark of Mark Brungard coached team is that his Poland squads...

The Captain gets this one started early again as this is easily one of the top games in the Mahoning Valley this week. Undefeated Poland is off to a great start with wins over Marlington, Niles, and Jefferson. Interestingly enough, each of the three teams Poland has beaten are 2-1, with each...
