Copley might be the basement dwellers of the Suburban league with four players from last years team transferring out. Kent got a great coach from Tallmadge after spending cuts. Barberton has outgrown the American League and I think realignment is in order sooner than later.
Revere? That seems strange. Is it the long trips to the East side of Akron? They seem to be in a league that is both geographically and competitively what they should hope for. Not sure why they would look elsewhere. I get Kent because they have long struggled and are out on the fringes of the league.SL realignment was coming from the beginning of the league. Schools go through ups and downs. Right now, Barberton is in an up and schools like Tallmadge, Kent and Copley are in a down. A decade ago it was the opposite. I think there will be some serious talks about this soon if they havent started already. I know Revere and Kent are looking elsewhere.

I wouldn't mind not having to make that trip as they are one of the more difficult drives for me in the SLA but I would miss their competitiveness. They seem to be sold in football, baseball, and basketball any given year.
Stow
Falls
Hudson
Wadsworth
Nordonia
Twinsburg
Barberton
Highland
That looks like a solid league. Wadsworth is a bit of an outlier but has a great sports program.Just what I am hearing. They are looking at a league to the North. Kent regretted the move to the SL from the start. I think the SL is destined to condense to one division with:
Stow
Falls
Hudson
Wadsworth
Nordonia
Twinsburg
Barberton
Highland
Anyone have turnout numbers for the SLA teams so far this season?
Roster numbers based on MaxPreps 2019 team rosters.
Highland. 85
Barberton. 63
Copley. 61
Kent. 57
Reveer. 53
Aurora. 50
Tallmadge. 29
Some of these numbers don’t match what has been reported previously here on Yappi.
Have no idea where Max Preps pulled these number from, but Copley has no more than 40 total including freshman. Not that hard to count while they practice.Roster numbers based on MaxPreps 2019 team rosters.

Do Wadsworth and Barberton scrimmage the week before the season? I have seen it listed and I've also heard they weren't playing. Anyone know?
