How many d2 teams were on WW schedule this year?Again for the millionth time. LM never pulled out of a game with WW. There was a preliminary discussion. That is it. No agreement. LM had options and chose to play a team closer to there level that doesn't recruit players. Nothing wrong with that. LM made the playoffs based upon the current system. They played the toughest team out of R8 at home with LMs best olineman from last year playing for the other team. So yes the odds were stacked against them. They tried and failed. No shame. That is 2 teams in my opinion who should never be on the same field. It looked like a d3 college team playing a high school team. Kramerica said LM probably belongs in d3. He is probably accurate on that thought. Or maybe LaSalle should be in the very watered down r4. Maybe WW can join them and stop beating up on farm teams in d2.
Who cares they didn’t make the playoffs? It is basketball season there. But they have not been able to make that an AAU team like football.How many d2 teams were on WW schedule this year?
I think its really funny that Harrison fans think they have a shot to beat LS. Must be nice to be in a weak league with D3 teams. Big fish in a little pond ring a bell? I hope you win this week though so I dont have to travel to Dayton for the regional final.I think it's really funny that people think that DeSales and LaSalle are playing.

90% of winton woods players live in the district fellas please stop acting like they recruit players out of the wazoo smh that talking point is getting lame and old...catholic schools came to WW district for years and plucked athletes from our school and nobody complained...it only became an issue when WW began beating the big bad gcl teams...ain't no fun when the rabbit got the gunWho cares they didn’t make the playoffs?

And yet WW beat them this year? I don't think so. No way LaSalle is "twice the team WW was last year." Winton Woods did go to the final four in DII. No doubt LaSalle is very, very good. But Winton Woods did beat them - this year! The real calamity here is how WW does NOT get into this year's play-offs. This is definitely one of those times where the Harbin system did NOT work in terms of getting "best" teams in the play-offs. As much as I am a LM fan, no way they deserved to be in this year's play-offs over WW! Anyone who actually would suggest LM was better than WW cannot be taken seriously. Last night just made that abundantly clear. 42-0 at halftime. OUCH! Then again, it is what it is. No one ever said that life was going to be fair. Still proud of our LM team for another good season. In humble admiration, not quite as good as last year's team, but definitely worthy of our community's applause! Go Panthers!It will be LaSalle in the semis. No one can compete except maybe DeSales. They are too big and too fast. They shouldn't be playing R2 public school teams. It's just different. Not an even playing field at all. They are twice the team WW was last year in 2018.

That is 10 percent more than any other public school in Cincinnati. No one cares about the GCL because those are private academic institutes not AAU football. I think what upsets people is the fact that WW does it and then beats there chest when they beat up on small City and farm schools. It's cool if WW wants to do it. Then when playoff time roles around go play those teams. I have always thought there needs to be a regular playoff and then an open playoff for teams like WW, Hoban, Massillon, and LaSalle. I firmly believe there will never be another non open enrollment/recruited state champion in D2 or D1 again.
I agree! It's still just a game. Better to just wish the young men luck!What's the point in being this way?
No need to "trash other teams," but it is rather ridiculous that the system can't get it right regarding one of the best DII football teams in the state with arguably one of the best RBs in the state, having beaten the #1 seeded team in the region during the season and NOT being in the play-offs? Yeah, folks should be talking about what happened to WW. It's really a shame. And it wasn't like they tried to "wiggle" the system by playing lower talented teams. They played a very difficult schedule. Just really sad for them and for HS football fans who love to see great teams play in the Big Show.Man this region posts are pretty much keep talking about WW. Brag about LaSalle and trash every other team
Cause I am tired of all the bitching about open enrollment and all star teams. Colerain never complains. It's amazing that GCL schools (and WW) have to play 4 out of state games every year, and then the publics complain about it come playoff time. Challenge yourself during the season and reap the rewards come playoff time. There is a reason kids want to play for the GCL schools. It increases their exposure to college recruiting against great competition.Beating up in D3 teams does not do it. No secret here, but I find it laughable that these same posters admonish parents for setting their kids up for success if they are talented enough. Be proud that you went 9-1 or 10-0, but then shut up when your doors are blown off.I agree! It's still just a game. Better to just wish the young men luck!

Are you just throwing more kindling wood on the fire here? You're gonna get everyone even more worked up! LOL! So what's the big difference? A GCL private school who gets athletes from all over the city (has one of LM's former All Conference guys who transferred his Senior year nonetheless!), and WW who has open enrollment and arguably the state's top RB (Williams) who played youth football with the Fairfield RB stud (McClain). Imagine those two in the same backfield? Might it be time to level the playing field all around. Open Enrollment for everyone (just pay the tuition for the school you attend - like the private schools). Let the recruiting begin! No different than the colleges. Have a certain allotment of scholarships/recruits per school. Parents want their student athletes to play in best programs, they would be free to go anywhere as long as they pay or receive financial assistance vis scholarships. A new system of "athletic school choice." Programs can recruit and seek to provide the best programs/coaching/facilities to make theirs the choice of athletes. No more arguments about whether or not it's fair to be a private school or open enrollment school. Then it's just a matter of re-vamping how the play-offs are positioned. The Harbin system didn't appear to work this time around - leaving WW out of the Big Show. Need more creative minds.If Winton Woods and La Salle want to compete for a DII state title, they know who awaits them in NE Ohio, an open enrollment public school who recruits (Massillon) or a private school with no boundaries who recruits too (Hoban)

They will never separate the playoffs, so play the schedule in front of you. Adapt or die.
Lasalle had 4 different coaches in 6 years and 3 different Ad’s. Who exactly is doing the recruiting??? Did they call your son?? Zero chance. There are lots of reasons some of these boys go to LS. Blevins knocked on Lasalles door Lasalle didn’t call Blevins. I’m sure wresting was a factor Kids also wanna play in the GCL is also a big draw. If LM starts winning more athletes will show up Is the system fair ? Not really but that’s life.Are you just throwing more kindling wood on the fire here?

Can we just create a WW and LaSalle forum?

Yep. In fact, LS lost one of those ADs to Little Miami.
The idea that these schools recruit football players is laughable. The resources just don't exist. Now, do football players seek out certain schools? Of course they do. But La Salle doesn't just "go get an eighth-grade running back."
I hope the LM folks enjoyed themselves at our place as much as is possible with a result such as that. I enjoyed hearing your band play ... they're pretty good. Nice turnout too.
Yes they do. But LM and Harrison it's not really a thing.I just looked it up. Harrison and Little Miami both have open enrollment.
