2 Pt win over a 0-5 team...WOW
PN is not #2 in Ohio. They are a pretty good squad.....but as in most years....overrated. I think they'll have a nice season and the seniors will go out with some quality wins and positive memories but no rings.
Panthers will go 9-1 and make it to Regional Final... where they will lose again to Gahanna. If their offense is clicking, they'll score against anybody. Good to see them trusting their big QB. Unfortunately, the D is not strong enough to get to Canton..
No one answered this huh?
I’ve been wondering the same thing. Maybe hurt?
Not sure if this is the reason he isn’t playing but I do know that some transfers can only play the first 5 weeks while others seem to be able to play the full season. North seems to have the transfer loopholes figured out so I would be surprised if that were the case.
The word around town is he is out for now due to transfer but will be eligible play-off time? I have never seen this before and not sure I believe it.
That is a false statement. He is out for the rest of the year just like the TE at Central and others around Columbus.
"not sure I believe it", "have never seen this before", would indicate we are in agreement on the "word around town".

I subscribe to the Dispatch. Their H.S sports coverage is not nearly what it used to be... They cover a handful of games, but no longer publish standings, stats, box scores. Apparently that is a trend across all newspaper sites. I subscribe to newspapers in VA and NC and their high school sport coverage has also be severely decreased.I miss the days when we had local sports journalism with the ThisWeekNews, where there was weekly game previews for all the big local teams and articles about the results after the games. From this you often able read about a key player being hurt or ineligible, and hear the coaches thoughts about the upcoming game or after a game. Now, I cant read anything on the Dispatch website cause its paywalled but seems like they only write about the top game or two of the week, good thing they got sold to a newspaper conglomerate.
Didn't watch any games this week, but looks like the Picktown schools did about what we all expected. North plays Grove City next week, been a few times over the years when North was the way better team yet lost to them. Looks like Westerville Central finally got that first win against Grove City though. Pick Central plays an easier opponent after the next for their last 3 weeks.
It won’t happen.
The school district specifically requested that the two schools would NOT be in the same OCC division when they did the reshuffle a few years ago
Is this because of the transfer or injury? I find it hard to believe that 2 out of town “move ins” would have to sit because of transferring. The Pick schools normally have this aspect of team building down to a science. Maybe they should bring the Richmond Heights athletic department in as an outside consultant.
Don’t know anything about SWD, but the unreliable thirdhand I heard on Galloway was that whoever he is living with that has him in PLSD is not a guardian or anyone with custody rights. If that’s the case, then that bangs two of the exceptions off the bat.
That would be huge a loss for both squads. I think Gahanna is dealt the worst hand as their transfer Cameron Frazier might of been playing some of the best football in state.
What happened to Frazier or is he simply a 'casualty' of the transfer rule? I don't understand why a great player would transfer somewhere knowing that he could only play 5 games at his new school.
I wonder about that too. Do the coaches let these kids know their eligibility is at risk prior to transferring.
