St. Paul had a tough loss last week, but you're right, they will be a tough out. Winning is ingrained in those kids at a young age.Looking forward to the regional final match up of JFK and Lucas. Both have played outstanding schedules and will be a tough draw for anyone. Don't know anything about Dalton. St. Paul is so well coached they will be a tough out for anyone, but I am not sure how good they are.

You may be right. Monroeville seems like they are back to relevancy again.They've won a lot, that's for sure...but they didn't have it last year and I don't think they do this year either. It wouldn't at all surprise me to see Monroeville beat them again.

Thoughts? Any dark horses?
How much they return from last year's squad?I’m not putting McDonald as a favorite yet. Despite returning a lot from last year things haven’t yet clicked yet (possibly due to missing 2 weeks of mid-August practice due to covid)- though the 2nd half last week they looked like they could be getting there. Even though WR is down I think this week will tell us a lot about McDonald, if they win convincingly I’d be confident they are up there.

That's what I thought. That is exactly why I put them in the favorites group. That team gave my Cubs all they wanted and them some. They belong in the conversation.Well McDonald only had 4 seniors last year- I believe they returned 8 starters both sides of the ball including both QB+RB on offense

Cuyahoga Hts has no chance this year. They are way down. Independence is the same team that got beat by Kennedy 41-7 in the playoffs last year and Kennedy is better this year.Lucas

In light of this, and also just watching the JFK v Conneaut game, I need to readjust my rankings. JFK looked slow vs Conneaut. I don't think the Kennedy O would get much vs Lucas, Dalton or maybe even McDonald. I could be wrong. Let us see how this weekends games go.Crestline and St. John opted out. We are at 21 in the region now.
Lol slow. There isn't a kid on Lucas' team that would be in the top 5 on JFK speed wise. You do realize that Kennedy has the fastest kid in the state in D7 right? I mean that's not speculation, thats actual facts. But hey to each his own.In light of this, and also just watching the JFK v Conneaut game, I need to readjust my rankings.

Just calling it as I see it.Lol slow. There isn't a kid on Lucas' team that would be in the top 5 on JFK speed wise. You do realize that Kennedy has the fastest kid in the state in D7 right? I mean that's not speculation, that is actual facts. But hey to each his own.
I'm sure Jaws will respond shortly. He is referring to Jesse Likens. Scholly to Air Force. JFK ain't slow. Not by a long shot.Just calling it as I see it.
Was this kid on last year's team?
Yes. That's who I'm speaking about. Ran 4.41 verified forties on two different occasions this past summer. Legit high 10.7s low 10.8s with D1 track offers too. Its ok though. Just like T.V. adds 10 lbs YouTube must add tenths to your times. Haha.I'm sure Jaws will respond shortly. He is referring to Jesse Likens. Scholly to Air Force. JFK ain't slow. Not by a long shot.
With 21 teams that means there will be 11 teams with byes in the first round.
Is seeding done after this week or next?
