Eastern Cincinnati Conference football improving year by year
One of the better football conferences in Greater Cincinnati, the Eastern Cincinnati Conference, could be up for grabs this fall

Scrimmage season is now over. I watched 3 ECC teams scrimmage. Turpin (Hamilton), Kings (Winton Woods), Milford (Winton Woods). My take is I believe the ECC champion will come from 1 of theses 3. Milford was certainly game last night vs Winton Woods. The Eagles scored on the first play from scrimmage. The Eagles has a good QB that throws a nice ball. They are very young with 6 sophomores projected to start. Turpin seemed like a solid team. No dazzling individual talent, just solid team play. The Spartans definitely outplayed Hamilton and looked further along. Kings is the most physical of the three. Knights lost alot and are breaking in a new QB and featured RB and new coaching staff. I will attempt to answer any questions anyone may have.
LOL. They still have football at Anderson. Anderson scrimmaged Elder and it was some discussion on the Elder football thread about the contest. They kept score. It was Elder 63 Anderson 14. But the thing is Anderson does all that crazy stuff on offense and wont punt or play defense, so scores in Anderson losses are often skewed. I just think that Anderson needs to use more traditional strategy. If I was an Anderson fan all the foolishness would drive me nuts.1. Don I love the pic from training day If my memory serves me correctly
2. Has anyone actually seen Anderson Scrimmage? I am at the point to where I am assuming that my Alma Mater no longer offers football
Don who would you pick at this point - Milford? Sounds like ECC could be tight....Scrimmage season is now over. I watched 3 ECC teams scrimmage.

Sir you are really going to make me pick. Its hard to say. I feel strongly that it will come down to the three ECC teams I saw scrimmage (Turpin, Kings and Milford). IMO, the ones I havent seen this summer will be the bottom half of the conference (Anderson, West Clermont, Loveland, Walnut, Withrow). To be fair I saw Kings and Milford vs Winton Woods (Warriors look fanstastic) but I saw Turpin vs Hamilton. Kings and Turpin mirror each other with Kings being a little bigger and a little more physical. Both Kings and Turpin have new young head coaches and staffs. The reason I have Milford in the mix is because they have something that no other ECC team has, a good, experienced established QB. And Milford also has Grippa steering the ship. With Olds and Stoll gone Grippa is the ECC boss.Don who would you pick at this point - Milford? Sounds like ECC could be tight....

I thought AHS looked pretty good last night, but I'm not sure what to take away from it given that I'm not sure how good Simon Kenton is. The biggest takeaway for me was their defense. It's the best defense Coach Dreyer has had (which isn't saying much). They were bullying Simon Kenton the whole game, and their freshman QB took a lot of damage.1.

OK, let's not get ahead of ourselves here, if Kali was such a good coach, they would've snatched him up during the internal transfer period. Secondly, we need to quit acting like winning the CMAC is hard. Ask Withrow..... they dominated the CMAC, join the ECC and get curb-stomped into the ground each year so badly that they are going back to the CMAC. Jones finished in the middle of the CMAC last year at Woodward.... that doesn't exactly show me anything. A 4-6 record in their joke of of a schedule last year is pathetic.... they beat a terrible Withrow, Gamble, Hughes and Shroder.... wow sound the alarm and lookout for this amazing coach. Jones' Woodward team lost their 6 games by a combined score of 171-97.... again, not exactly confidence building.
Lastly, I think it is worth noting that Jonas, the AD at Withrow was/is looking to leave. He was hired to be Huber Heights Wayne's AD earlier this summer pending board approval.... this was all according to the pre-released board minutes; but Wayne decided Jonas had too much controversy and decided to rescind the offer last minute. Nothing at Withrow's Athletic Dept. the past few years has instilled any bit of confidence in any way whatsoever, and the joke continues. Sad for the kids and the community.
I know exactly what it takes as I have coached in the CMAC before and know all of the struggles you mention very well It really isn't hard to win that conference as most of those teams are so terrible at football every year due to those struggles that you mention as well as the nightmare Athletic Department in CPS. When was the last time a CMAC school won a playoff game? It is a bad conference, period. And that is 90% the fault of the terribly run CPS Athletic Dept.
Withrow was also D2 when they left the CMAC, so the ECC made the most sense logistics wise at that time. Withrow also spent most of their time being a D1 team while in the CMAC. Why would they join the SWOC or CHL when they are/were so much larger than those schools? Also, Withrow really wanted in the ECC to try to elevate their school's reputation and was hoping to do so by being associated with those schools in the ECC. They also lied during their application process saying that within 2 years they would have all teams competing in all the sports (Swimming, Tennis, Boys Volleyball, etc) when they had no real plan to follow through with such false claims.
Errors were made. I made my preference known years ago and am glad too see the warriors and Redskins back in the same leagueAnd the ECC took Withrow over Winton Woods for the initial membership. ?
"Errors were made". Well that is the understatement of the year. And people were defending that decision like they were defending the 2nd amendment to the Constitution. (not saying you were one) Were those people just anti Winton Woods? Some of them haven't been heard from since the wrong has been righted. But it's in the past. It just comes to mind when the mess that is Cincinnati Public Schools athletics are discussed.Errors were made.

Based on Milford score - guessing Princeton has another strong year (if they don’t have any forfeits).for what it's worth: Daniel Ingram can BALL and will keep Withrow interesting if they can protect him until the conference schedule (sees who they play next)
(it's Princeton)
nevermind.

I would think they would have a pretty good shot against Taft.Daniel Ingram can ball, but I just looked at the remainder of the Tiger's schedule. I don't see them winning another game this season. Best shot will come with them playing Loveland. But that will be coming off Princeton and Taft losses.

Nah. they're getting Walnut and they're going to steal a weird one this yearI would think they would have a pretty good shot against Taft.
I thought the score I saw was a misprint. ?It’s funny how it was Withrow wouldn’t win a game in the ECC... y’all still have the same energy lol?
Let me guess the excuse is Loveland is just a trash team
I just laugh because a lot of ppl in this forum think they know everything that goes on inside the school and football program! We’re tougher than a lot of ppl think , changes were made and it’s working!I thought the score I saw was a misprint. ?
Same here and yes this says a lot about Loveland and withrow. So back to Anderson dropping 59 on KingsI thought the score I saw was a misprint. ?
What was the Anderson/Kings score? Has Andeeson played Turpin?Same here and yes this says a lot about Loveland and withrow. So back to Anderson dropping 59 on Kings![]()
59-41 Anderson. They have not played Turpin yet. I think Turpin will be a heavy favoriteWhat was the Anderson/Kings score? Has Andeeson played Turpin?
