They maybe should’ve been there anyway. Middletown has won 4 games in 4 years. That’s the worst in the conference. Even worse then Oak Hills.Move Middletown to that VACANT spot.

The families moving to Ross, Harrison, and the Eastside are hurting the program a lot more. It's not a lack of top-end talent that hurts Colerain, its the depth and lack of solid back-players. It's the 3rd through 6th OLineman, 3rd and 4th secondary players, that 2nd wingback who was capable of being an adequate threat.
And Bolden left for Money and a change in administration. He's was never easy for any administrator to deal with and the administration has been a bureaucratic mess for a while in NWLSD. Football was probably at least 3rd on his reasons for leaving.
They should be merged but into a new building. Colerain is outdated badly. They won't do it tho, they just built new elementary schools. They won't get any more new taxes for decades.They should merge Colerain and Northwest into one high school.
With Middletown closing down and GWOC going conference only, are there any rumors about GMC going conference only too?
I've heard that kid is something special. Sucks he's not going to Colerain.This might not be the year for FF but the next couple years they may have a stud QB. The QB from Colerain Middle transferred to the FSD and he was an absolute stud that single handedly won the GMC middle titles. Now there have been many a middle schoolers who hit puberty early and whose dominance fell off in high school but he has the potential to be a stud.
Fairfield may be the beneficiary of his dad being let go from NWLSD but only time will tell.
I assume until next year, correct? It was only a 1-yr contract so it works out nicely to just move to 2021, at Colerain.Wayne vs Colerain has been postponed.
What a backfield that was! Simpson, Sherrer, Magness and Lumpkin. Absolutely loaded.Those last two post make a lot of sense. Speaking of 2nd wingbacks who could make an impact, I thought of Danny Magness on the 2004 state championship team when I read that.

Well, with the guidelines in place for a 6-week season, next week will be interesting. My guess is the GMC ADs will get together and decide what they want to do with the season. My guess is they cancel all OOC games in weeks 1 & 2 and go to a 6 game all-GMC schedule. No reason they can't move weeks 3-8 up to weeks 1-6.
Any issues with that? Any other ideas?

The schools don't even know what they will do with students that take their masks off. They sure can't police mask wearing at football games.Some really good ideas in there lotr10, but I would expect nothing less from you.
Love your idea of the schedule set up. You could geographically align the schools so they travel the shortest distance to get to their 5 seasonal games and then let the 1 "Championship" game just fall where it does.
As far as the fans go, well, that's a tougher call. I mean, do you turn people away without masks on? Or have masks available for folks at the gate if they want to come in? And what do you do with those that wear them in but then immediately take them off "to make a statement"? I think it's impossible to police mask-wearing. In which case, if you generally don't want to create a "super-spreader" type event...you just have to say no fans in the stands.
I am interested to see how school handle the recent changes to the broadcast guidelines. Obviously at WeAreColerain.com, we are going to try and broadcast every game anyway, but what if we are told we can't do that on the road this year? Will home schools have an option for our fans to see the games?

Yeah...I fundamentally disagree with almost everything you say here. Won't get into it on this thread. You are entitled to your opinion, no doubt.If I had my way I would allow full attendance and not require masking. To me attending a football game is not essential and those at risk of the covid should not attend and stay home. We know who is and who isn't at risk. The fact is that as a guy in his early 60's the risk from driving to Centerville in week 1 to watch FF & CV play likely represented a higher risk to me then the covid.
This is where I philosophically differ from how the powers that be have chosen to fight the covid outbreak. Given who the virus targets the focus should be on isolating & protecting those at most risk. Instead they have tried to isolate our entire population & society to reduce the spread of the infection.
Seems to me that they choose the hardest way to fight a virus that is not a lethal killer for the general pubic. And in trying to enforce rules on the entire healthy population they have dropped the ball in protecting the most vulnerable folks in nursing homes. That half of all covid deaths in America have been in nursing homes seems like a powerful indictment of the effectiveness, or lack thereof, of the approach they took.

Added to the confusion is the news this morning that the majority of Power5 college football schools are in favor of cancelling (uh oh, there's that word again! ;-) the fall football season. If that happens...does OHSAA just shut down or do they move forward with even more gusto claiming falsely that "the kids need sports!" We'll see.

BREAKING NEWS:
The Greater Miami Conference has decided to join the ranks of other conferences in the state and move to a LEAGUE ONLY schedule in light of the OHSAA plans to limit the season to 6 regular season games.
In order to do this, the league will move the games originally scheduled for weeks 3-8 to weeks 1-6. This will eliminate both non-conference games for all GMC teams as well as the games they originally had scheduled in weeks 9 and 10.
Thoughts?

Well unless there is a further adjustment there will be no West at East game as they were scheduled to play in week nine. Also what happens with Middletown ops not to play? That means one less game for everyone but West who was not scheduled to play the Middies this year. That would've been the foundation game prior to week one. Will just have to see how it does or doesn't play out.BREAKING NEWS:

I really think Middletown is going to play. I have no idea why they put things on "pause" the way they have. If you haven't cancelled by now, you aren't going to. Plus, I am sure there is pressure from the other 9 schools to play out the season as missing just one school throws everything in a mess when you are "conference only" for football.Well unless there is a further adjustment there will be no West at East game as they were scheduled to play in week nine.
