I think Goul is forgetting about how Mentor handled Medina in the playoffs after rounding into form.I saw that list and it makes some sense. I feel like Medina getting ranked the highest in the league adds up. Mentor not being in the top ten is hard to argue. But I don’t know about Heights being ranked that high. We shall see.
NoIsn’t Solon in the Suburban this year?
If medina beat Wadsworth they are the real deal.I think Goul is forgetting about how Mentor handled Medina in the playoffs after rounding into form.
I also don't see how Medina is a powerhouse ? They've made two regional finals lately and lost by 35 points each time. I think standards get lowered if you call a team a powerhouse that hasn't even ever won region 1.
Medina and Heights are good opponents and solid but you can't be called a power until you make some deep playoff runs
So what happened with this?
For everything except football. League held them to contract for that as it's hard to find opponents with less than a year noticeIsn’t Solon in the Suburban this year?
While I like Coach Stephens and what he has done at Heights I just cannot get that '22 Iggy playoff game out of my head. Until they tighten up the attention to detail I have a hard time naming them as one of the team to beat in 2023.1. Heights
2-3. I think that Medina and Mentor will fill these spots. On paper, these teams seem very comperable.

There is a lot of talent in the league and regardless of the team, these kids are going to play their hearts out. Right now, it's my opinion that Cleveland Heights looks best on paper, but the games are played on the field, so we'll just have to see.
and in what world does this have anything to do with high school football?In other GCC news us chumps living in Shaker get to see yet another ask for more $s to pump into a good but not great district:

Shaker Schools files 9.95-mill November ballot issue with board of elections
"Segment One" does not include any current or future plans for a new high school, which will be considered at a later date.www.cleveland.com
In what world is 9.95 mil worth of levies in a single election cycle needed? Oh yes Shaker Heights where the voters never say no to any tax increase so $s are thrown around like Monopoly money. And by the way this doesn't even include a needed re-do on the High School. In 3 years or so they will probably be looking for another 5 mils for that along with the 3 year cycle of an operating levy of 4 mils. Funny how none of these $s find their way to the athletic department, their facilities are arguably the worst in this conference.
I guess we'll just have to see what happens. I've seen great coaches lose and average coaches picked up by great players. When I made the prediction, I was pretty confident that others might disagree.While I like Coach Stephens and what he has done at Heights I just cannot get that '22 Iggy playoff game out of my head. Until they tighten up the attention to detail I have a hard time naming them as one of the team to beat in 2023.
They stayed in the GCC for one more year, but I believe that only applies for football.Isn’t Solon in the Suburban this year?
Times change. Solon used to play Chardon, West G and Kenston on muddy small school fields back in the day until they outgrew it. Now they are shrinking a bit and seeking their level again. They can still schedule GCC and LEL powers non-league in hoops.Its so said my alma mater (solon) is chasing old football glory to leave the best basketball legaue in the area when the basketball program has lapped the football program. I dont think Solon football will ever be what it used to be.
That old CVC conference was the best in NE Ohio for MANY years.Times change. Solon used to play Chardon, West G and Kenston on muddy small school fields back in the day until they outgrew it. Now they are shrinking a bit and seeking their level again. They can still schedule GCC and LEL powers non-league in hoops.
