I think McNick is playing Hartley or maybe Watterson I get the two confused.Bishop Hartley supposedly returns to D4 — the division that’s been most friendly to them since 2010.
Glenville is no longer scary due to losing enrollment. Lesser students, lesser talentIf Glenville is still D4 they will be scary. Same with VASJ
We’ll seeGlenville is no longer scary due to losing enrollment. Lesser students, lesser talent
Very excited to see how region 14 plays out. Van Wert returns the best player in the region and some good pieces around him. Can't get over the size of Port Clinton from last year.Port Clinton lost a lot, including their Head Coach. Evidently, cupboard will be empty for a bit
Van Wert should make some noise. The other Region 14 schools potentially making noise: Bellevue, Clyde, and Shelby. For the record, Bellevue-Shelby back on the schedule, Week 3
what's there to see? Their closest moment to win a State Title was as DI while going through Region 1 suspects. Lost big to Loveland in II, and heck, didn't stand a chance against my Norwalk Truckers a couple years ago in III.We’ll see
They’re loaded for D4. Had almost no seniors last year and have guys transferring in. Like I said, we’ll seewhat's there to see?

I mean they dominated VASJ who was seen as one of the D4 favorites and it took a 70 yard Irish td pass with under 2 minutes left for Ursuline to beat Glenville. The Tarblooders were clearly a top team in D4 that certainly was good enough to win the championship.what's there to see?

maple, they are much improved from when your truckers with multiple D1 guys on the team played them.what's there to see?

Wauseon has some really good athletes, but they just need to figure some things out up front.maple, they are much improved from when your truckers with multiple D1 guys on the team played them.
I think they can make some noise, but aren't a favorite quite yet.
I'd look for Mentor Lake to rebound, I assume Ursuline will be excellent again as Reardon will find guys to bring in. VASJ will be good, but with the transfers everyone mentions there, will they bump to D3? Canton South and Perry will be solid in region 13 as well
Region 14 is a gauntlet. VW would be a solid choice to make it back to the regional final. Clyde loses a lot, Bellevue loses a good amout as does shelby. Bellevue and Clyde are great programs though who can contend for a regional title most years. Wauseon can also be a dark horse type team and Keystone will have a couple solid players, their schedule is terribly weak though.
If Hartley is back in division 4, I like them as the favorite. As someone mentioned, they have had a ton of success in D4 and I would think that would continue. BC loses quite a bit and will have a coaching change. St. Clairsville and IV are usually always solid in that region as well.
Finally in region 16, the usual suspects, Wyoming, Mcnick, Massie, and as someone said, Milton Union will be interesting to watch as well. I don't know what Eaton and Waverly have back, but if memory serves me, they were good last year too. What about Indian Hill?
D4 has been a pretty fun division and great for public schools. Unless more privates find their way back into d4 and reassert dominance.
We aren't talking D1, or D2 anymore. They are down in D4. Believe me, they were a top 5 talent team in D4 last year. If they did not make a bad play call inside the 1 yard line against Ursuline, they maybe win statewhat's there to see?

That’s been the case for years there is they’re always talented but lack of coaching and playing as a “team” gets them in the end. Maybe if they were a team and played that way they’d have more than just 2 state runner ups in their history.I watched Glenville in person last season. There may be better "teams" in D4. But there's not a better collection of talent on one team.
PC returns their 3 year starting qb, 2 offensive linemen and their TE. They lost their entire secondary and 2 receivers who went over 900 yds each. The cupboard isn’t empty. At least not for this year.Port Clinton lost a lot, including their Head Coach. Evidently, cupboard will be empty for a bit

the question will be how close are they to the d3 bubble and how many of the kids from cleveland they got in their enrollment count will add to their CB numbers.A program to watch in the future if they remain in region 14 is Lutheran West. They are the only private school in that region and are coached by 12 year NFL veteran John Parella. He brought in some Freshman from Cleveland last year and he is actively recruiting. I mean check out this website

They had 182 boys which would place them in division 5. They actually moved to division 4 due to competitive balance.the question will be how close are they to the d3 bubble and how many of the kids from cleveland they got in their enrollment count will add to their CB numbers.
I totally get where you're coming from. They must be considered a threat though especially in D4.That’s been the case for years there is they’re always talented but lack of coaching and playing as a “team” gets them in the end. Maybe if they were a team and played that way they’d have more than just 2 state runner ups in their history.
Waverly has been a consistently good, playoff type program the past 5 years. I would expect them to regroup and be competitive once again.Waverly will be losing practically all their skill positions going into 2022. Losing a great trio of receivers and the starting qb from last season. Will return the main running back which looked very promising toward the end of the season. Returning I believe 4/5 offensive linemen as well. As far as defense the secondary is losing a lot also the linebackers will be thinned out from graduation. Not saying it will be a down year but i am doubtful it will be like the last few
