Pick Central’s first 3 games look tough assuming La Salle is added WK3. After that, their schedule looks tough on paper. However, Pick North has 4-5 really good players and not much else but they will play their hearts out versus Pick Central. Hilliard Bradley can only beat bad teams. Not sure about Groveport. They were very good last year but not sure what they have coming back. Lancaster gives Central problems every few years.Man, I'd love to see that game. But is it wise to replace a Canadian cupcake with the defending DI champs when you have the GCL, Winton Woods and Trotwood on the schedule? PC would probably be asking a similar question.
I don’t care where they play. I don’t think the seating capacity is accurate though. When Pick Central plays Pick North, the attendance is significantly greater than 4,000 people. The PC field has been resurfaced and is in great shape right now but that can change real quick. One concern might be the cost of traveling and also losing out on a home game. If the week 1 Massillon rumors are true, that would be back to back away games and two lost home games.Pickerington Central has said they can host or travel in week three. They are open because Naperville, IL cancelled on them. La Salle is oepn because they were scheduled to play Riverview Academy which has suspended their season. Here is why this game should be at La Salle. Pickerington Central Tiger stadium has a seating capacity of 3,662 while La Salle Lancer stadium shows 8,000. Interest in this game would be high simply because it would be the defending DI state champion against the defending DII state champion which is why Tiger stadium would be inadequate to host this game.
Here is Pickerington Central's week three open listing on the OHSAA web site. "Pickerington Central HS is looking for a Week 3 Varsity opponent due to a recent cancellation from the covid-19 pandemic. We can host or travel".

If your basing it on seating well 4000, seats be reserved for the away team thenPickerington Central has said they can host or travel in week three.

I Think on paper the lancers could go 10-0 even with that scheduleThe year St. X had five losses, they still made the playoffs and won state. Could La Salle make the playoffs with up to five losses and win state also.
Wouldn’t that St X team have missed playoffs if they competed in Region 8 last year? Isn’t last year’s Winston Woods a cautionary tale on having too loaded of a schedule?The year St. X had five losses, they still made the playoffs and won state. Could La Salle make the playoffs with up to five losses and win state also.

Fellas, I don't think seating capacities are going to matter this year. If fans are allowed in at all, there won't be anything close to full houses.
Just got confirmation that the St. Joes team from buffalo has canceled the game against LaSalle. Was told that it was because of Corona but we all know it is because they didn’t want to get the kicked out of them again this year. It’s pathetic a team just cancels because of that, now LS has to find another team to play in a short amount of time.

With Lakota West getting a high 4 star DB and going into year 2 with Bolden, they could prove to be very formidable by the end of the year. Noone talks about them as being one of the harder games but they very well could be.

Pretty much the whole schedule will be a challenge since the two tomato cans on the schedule had to cancel, with the exception of Dunbar. I think everyone knows Lakota West will be no pushover, especially in Year 2 of Bolden at the helm. If you all recall, a good portion of the Yapsters had LW as a favorite to beat La Salle Week 1 last year.
That said, on paper, La Salle should be the favorite in every game going in. But high-school kids especially do not always live up to the paper prognostication.
What do you mean by that?La Salle gets great athletes.
It's amazing how they have better athletes than most division 1 programs. How do they do that?What do you mean by that?
Any new additions to the team for This year either offensive or defensive of noteIt's amazing how they have better athletes than most division 1 programs. How do they do that?
According to TSF football Ben Schieff Junior WR from Loyola Blakefield (Maryland) 42 rec 605 yds 6 td and Will Heffner senior LB from Centerville 22 tkl in last 4 gamesAny new additions to the team for This year either offensive or defensive of note
Start a winning program and it attracts other kids because they want to be a part of a winning tradition. If they have the opportunity to attend a great school where they will succeed and get to chance to compete for a state championship, who wouldn’t take that opportunity if they had the chance.It's amazing how they have better athletes than most division 1 programs. How do they do that?
YetlaSalle and Colerain (a team LW plays) have the championship mentality it takes to win all season long. LW, not so much.
True, maybe.

Would the school be able to publicly show how all those athletes that they have attracted been able to afford the tuition?They've always been in a talent rich area. They had the best team in Ohio in 2014 while not even making the playoffs the previous year and only having one notable backup RB transfer in. They go on to win state the next 2 years and is now a destination spot for grade schoolers like D1 powerhouses Colerain, St. X, and Elder have been for years. All these schools have had top tier Ohio talent for 20 years and are all within 8 miles of LaSalle. Now you got kids actually wanting to play football at LaSalle over these other schools rather than them settling playing football for LaSalle.
On top of that LaSalle has developed pipelines to Ohio State and UC better than any school in the area by far.
