Good thing games aren't decided on "looks" or dnis' perception. We'd be in some serious trouble then.1) Marion Local - Untill they lose.
2) LCC - Will eventually beat ML.
3) New Bremen - MAC v MAC this week.
4) St. Henry - See above.
5) Lucas - Their defense is legit.
6) Arlington - High octane.
7) Tri-Village - Their defense is a liability.
8) Fort Loramie - I still believe. One bad game.
9) JFK - 33 points given up = bad look.
10) East Knox - Held serve in R27.
Just saying, brother. Last time my Cubs played Lowellville, 70-0 at their place.Good thing games aren't decided on "looks" or dnis' perception. We'd be in some serious trouble then.

No sense in explaining anything to him. He's a putz who doesn't understand how football works. Lucas are football gods who play the worlds toughest schedule and can beat everyone, unless they don't use his kid right or they get beat by a passing team. Then the coaches suck and there's kids playing that "don't deserve to be on the field".That was 5 years ago and at the time Lowellville was one of probably the 10 worst teams in the state. While Lowellville still isn’t a good team, they are much better than at that time and do have some decent skill players and QB

Lowellville, this season:That was 5 years ago and at the time Lowellville was one of probably the 10 worst teams in the state. While Lowellville still isn’t a good team, they are much better than at that time and do have some decent skill players and QB
Like was stated above, that was 4 seasons ago. This JFK squad clearly doesn't have the defense that team did....yep, its all about context- when ya put 60 plus points on a team, younger kids and non-starters are being rotated in, underclassmen, JV's ,etc. To make an assumption simply upon that is moronic. (To note, JFK's championship run a few years ago, Aquinas put 27 on 'em in week 10. Was that a "bad look""? They had the DVII trophy in hand 5 games later.)
A little sensitive?No sense in explaining anything to him. He's a putz who doesn't understand how football works.

saw that the Flyers put the Otte boy in at QB, sounded like it was a different dimension for the Flyers OFF1. Marion Local - Still haven't been beat but they just played a team that their JV team could beat
2. Lima Central Catholic - Hoping all these bye weeks don't make them rusty
3. New Bremen - Cardinals doing what the cardinals do. St Henry this week.
4. Tri-Village - Should outscore Riverside. Marion Local stands in their way after that.
5. Fort Loramie - Bounced back nicely.
6. Trimble - I can see them getting upset by someone like Berne Union
7. Warren JFK - Good game with St Paul this week. Still see the Eagles winniing.
8. Arlington - Dropped 75 on a bad Edon team
9. St Henry - Beat a JV team.
10. Lucas - I'd think they should beat Independence this week.
Lowellville, this season:
A mediocre Mineral Ridge beat them 48-8.
Valley Christian only gave up 30 vs them.
I love it when guys go straight to insults, then bring people's kids into the conversation. It shows a clear lack of integrity.
Pile on, all of ya. Couldn't care less. The scores speak for themselves.
And we fumbled on the 5 yard line in the red zone in the 1st quarterAccording to the box score:
JFK had 31 offensive plays - scored 9 TD's or every 3.4 offensive plays. So that's at least 10 possessions for Lowellville.
If I told you pregame that JFK would only have 31 offensive plays....you would have bet a paycheck that they would lose.
The possible best teams, New Bremen or LCC, not even in top 10.You guys ready for a good laugh? Well here's the AP Poll for this week:
Division VII
1. Marion Local (17) 7-0 178
2. Tri-Village 7-0 158
3. Trimble 7-0 131
4. Malvern 7-0 106
5. Fort Loramie (1) 7-1 92
6. Central Catholic 5-1 87
7. Perry 6-0 68
8. John F Kennedy 5-2 62
9. St. Paul 6-1 47
10. Leetonia 6-1 38
LCC is listed at #6The possible best teams, New Bremen or LCC, not even in top 10.
Good point. It was definitely a dominating win, however, giving up 33 to Lowellville, not good in any capacity.According to the box score:
JFK had 31 offensive plays - scored 9 TD's or every 3.4 offensive plays. So that's at least 10 possessions for Lowellville.
If I told you pregame that JFK would only have 31 offensive plays....you would have bet a paycheck that they would lose.

I would love to see where the person who voted Ft Loramie #1 put Tri Village and Marion Local. I do agree with Loramie ahead of Tri Village, but jumping a team to #1 that lost to a team you probably dont have in your top 10 over Marion Local makes zero sense.What on earth? Tri-Village #2? Malvern #4? Perry #7 ahead of LCC? No New Bremen or St. Henry?
These guys only look at W/L record. Apparently, SOS has nothing to do with it.
How anyone, in any poll, can pick any team over Marion Local for #1 is beyond me. They have NEVER lost a D7 game and are the defending state champions! Yet, here we are. Every week. Complete ridiculousness.I would love to see where the person who voted Ft Loramie #1 put Tri Village and Marion Local.

My question is how long do you think the average voter takes to consider the logic behind their vote? My suspicion is it is about a two minute process where they simply pick out the nice shiny records and push send.
Now that we are this far along in the playoffs, it will work it's way out very soon.
Polls are opinions. People vote their opinion. I personally vote ML #1 every week but in my honest opinion I think the best team is probably LCC. Polls are essentially meaningless and getting bent out of shape over them is ridiculous, especially the yappi poll.How anyone, in any poll, can pick any team over Marion Local for #1 is beyond me.

For example, look at last weeks Yappi Poll...
1 Marion Local (Maria Stein) (6-0) (228) [16]
2 Lima Central Catholic (Lima) (5-1) (185) [3]
3 Tri-Village (New Madison) (6-0) (118) [2]
4 New Bremen (New Bremen) (4-2) (111)
5 Fort Loramie (Fort Loramie) (5-1) (91)

7 Trimble (Glouster) (6-0) (72)
8 John F Kennedy (Warren) (4-2) (70) [2]
9 Arlington (Arlington) (4-2) (38)
10 St Henry (St Henry) (4-2) (37)
??????????????
That is my point. Who, with any amount of knowledge of D7 football, has the opinion that ANYONE other than ML is deserving of the #1 ranking. ESPECIALLY the AP voters? It is preposterous.Polls are opinions. People vote their opinion. I personally vote ML #1 every week but in my honest opinion I think the best team is probably LCC. Polls are essentially meaningless and getting bent out of shape over them is ridiculous, especially the yappi poll.
Recall a conversation with a coach going back probably 20 years. He asked if polls were ratings based on past performance or future probabilities? The answer is likely somewhere in between, but I place much more relevance on a poll being intended to "predict" than I do to "reward". If it was primarily based in past games then why not have the last poll be at the very end of the season, after the playoffs?How anyone, in any poll, can pick any team over Marion Local for #1 is beyond me.

Yappi crowns a paper state champion just as the AP does, so it is nice to get that crown and measure for the banner in the gym. 2020 STATE CHAMPIONS*Polls are opinions. People vote their opinion.
