Id argue that both Elmwood and Woodmore, over all athletics and genders, competed quite well in the NBC. I think the Woodmore girls track team won State as recently as 2022. Both did fine. Woodmore a bottom feeder in football, but I think their hazing scandal set that program back years. Putting it simply........neither Woodmore or Elmwood was failing in the NBC enough to leave the league.
Well 4 convo who can be 2 and 3
Oak Harbor will be at the top. Fostoria will be at the bottom, 2-7 will be a mixed bag. Lots of beating each other. Otsego is a dark horse to finish 2nd in the league
Genoa down. Book it
I'm hearing that that they might go the route of player/coach. A current player on the roster will also coach the team!
Lynn Groll of Black Swamp Football usually has a lot of good information. Sometimes he takes a little time to respond or misses some emails, but if you keep on him, he's usually pretty good about getting the information out.
I did, but thank you he is very good at getting info out to the public, I tried looking on twitter and I found nothing but I may have a idea on who it could be, but I think it all depends on how some of the levys go for tomorrow.
100% agree
Which makes no sense. Otsego through all grade levels has been running crazy 4 wide formations for years, switching to a Wing T is going to be a bumpy change.
Disagree hard here. Woodmore and Elmwood have been doormats for years, and since your best players typically are football/basketball/baseball it affected all of those. Elmwood had a nice bounce back in recent years, but it'd been 15 years since they'd done anything worth a dang. Participation was getting so low that Woodmore was in jeopardy of losing their program as I believe they could no longer put together a JV team. In a conference with Eastwood, Genoa and Oak Harbor that's bad news.
I honestly think the transition will help them stay in games. The ability to control the ball and play good defense will keep them in games if they can stay on schedule offensively. 2020 and 2021 were outlier years for them where they were very athletic. The last two years they beat the teams they should have. Last year, they had some lopsided scores as they were often "out athleted" and really only beat the lesser teams. You can argue that about 2022 as well, but they did have a battle with a very good LC team that year. This next year will have growing pains, I'm sure. I anticipate those games to be much closer in a Wing T offense than it would be in a spread offense without much to speak of for athletes.
I’m pretty positive that isn’t the reason he left Woodmore. He was asked to resign before going to Maumee
Because of the lack of success football wise or were there other reasons? I feel like Woodmore is going to be a tough place to turn around the program. They made the right move leaving the NBC though, so they are on the right track.
Lack of success unfortunately. Not his fault at all. I would say 90% of high school coaches couldn’t win at Woodmore.
Most schools don't realize that administrative support plays a huge role in the success of a program. Obviously, academics come first, but having good athletic programs fosters academic success in student athletes.
While what you say is true, it seems, given the context, you are insinuating that Woodmore has had a lack of administrative support? If so, based on what? thanks.
Based on the fact that their football program is in the dumps. I don't know anything about Woodmore other than that. If your school and community hold the program in high regard and make it a priority, the program will be at least mildly successful. Woodmore's program is not that. Therefore, I infer that the administration and community do not give the support necessary for them to be successful. Maybe the mindset has changed recently.
Spot on. Show me a solid program and I will show you an administration and community willing to spend money on coaches and facilities.
It’s almost impossible to have a good program in spite of bad administration.
