Game with the 2nd N.J. team is off the table. I don't know what happened there, but, yes, home & home with Steubenville is very much in play.
Well, I have egg on my face. I had not seen DaveDawg's post above and thought the NJ team fell through, but he is absolutely correct and I was most definitely wrong; week 2 is the 2nd N.J. team. I was looking forward to a trip to Harding Stadium in Steubenville next year, but that isn't happening.
 
… It's about McKinley AD, Joe Bogdan and Canton City Schools BOE president, John Rinaldi, stating after the separation from Hall that McKinley needs someone to come in with a prior track record of being a successful, winning head coach. Someone who has taken the full responsibility of a football program, from 8th grade through the varsity and been successful. As stated before, Parnell lacks those credentials. Nevertheless, it is appropriate to now support the hire and give Parnell the grace and time to prove himself. Hopefully, he turns out to be a fantastic hire! Only time will tell. Good Luck Bulldogs!
Can you point to a link with comments by McK AD and BOE J.R. Together stating that…
Agreed, it’s appropriate to now support Renzy as he is here and the search ended.
Rinse and repeat is tiresome truthfully. One of theses guys has got to stick around for a while.

Bogdan can stay. I like his picks. Weatherspoon and Parnell.👍. Rinaldi and some are still mad. No Ron Johnson🤣🤣🤣.
 
With the coaching moves, is there any chance Hoban athletes follow their coaches over? Also what is the rule from Private to Public? Would they have to sit out X amount of games still?
 
Next week will be a big week for former McKinley great, Harold Fannin Jr.
The NFL Scouting Combine will be held from February 27-March 2 in Indianapolis.
Fannin will be there on February 28 with the rest of the top TEs in the nation.
Some mock drafts have him as high as the end of the 1st Round. The consensus would probably be 2nd or 3rd round.

Harold has made a meteoric rise from not the best player in Stark County in 2021 (LOL, some of us knew the real deal) to MAC Offensive Player of the Year, Consensus NCAA All American, and one of the best college players in the country in 3 short years. Good luck young man. Go make that money.

Best of luck to him.
 
Where are you IUDOGS,when is this new football coach going to meet and greet with McK folks?
Coach Parnell will address the McKinley luncheon group at Michael D's the week after the Bulldogs' boys basketball team's season ends. (Boys basketball coach Sean Weatherspoon meets with the group every week during basketball season; hopefully, that campaign continues for a while.)

I will post the time and date of Parnell's appearance on here once that is set.

Guessing he was underutilized at Mck?
 
Why didn’t he go somewhere bigger than BG?
I don't want to disparage the young man, but his grades were suspect for a while. BG took a chance on him because of his immense talent and potential. To his credit, he made the most of his opportunity. By all accounts, he's come a long way and done everything right up there. He could've transferred to any school in thr country but stayed loyal to BG because they took a chance on him.
