Nice schedule
I'm excited for IV to come to town. It definitely won't be an easy game for the Dawgs, but it will give our new starters good experience before conference play, and the crowd should be huge. I was hoping the Dover series would be renewed, but the Braves are also from Tuscarawas County and split with the Tornadoes the last two years, so it's probably the closest thing we could have to continuing that series.
I like it because it is a traditional rivalry that will usually provide a good crowd and a good opportunity for Harbin points. Tallmadge isn't as good as they used to be, but I'd prefer that game over an opponent Green has no history playing.

Looking forward to the opener. The first 2 games against Green and Steuby will give us a good idea about what areas we need to improve on.
I know Kinsey will be back at RB, which will be quite the challenge for the Bulldog defense. Do you guys return most of your other starters, or was 2024 a senior heavy lineup for IV?
Only lost 4 senior starters from last year’s team, IV was super young last year so all the experience they had should help them tremendously going into this season
Most of the returning players who got significant playing time in 2024 will be seniors in 2025, but three guys who will be juniors this fall that I believe will be key contributors are LBs Kam Worner and Luke Schall, and K Logan Noirot.
People still boycotting Town Tavern?
Not anymore. That co-owner was pushed out.
Good. What he did was inexcusable
Your posts are stellar.I would like to think defunct Green business Steve's Motel for sponsoring this thread for 2025. Was there an unsolved triple murder there in 1991? Sure, but nobody's perfect! Big things are happening in the Roundabout City this Fall, so shout out to Steve's for coming on board!

Did you know that the City recently received a national award for its roundabout design? Well, now you do...
National award recognizes roundabouts in the City of Green
Green is home to 12 roundabouts. It's the set along Massilon Road that's receiving a national honor from the American Council of Engineering Companies.
"The City of Green has a total of 12 roundabouts. Four more are currently in the design process, which "likely" makes Green the city with the most roundabouts in Northeast Ohio"
Did you hear that? Green is Number One! Rumor has it that for every Bulldog victory, a new roundabout will be installed on Route 241 between Greensburg Road and 619!

What are you figuring as the 3 losses?
McKinley, Jackson, then either Perry or Lake
Hopefully with a win over 13-0 Stow in the Regional Final.
That'd be a great year. Can't forget about Indian Valley in Week 1, that's either going to be the toughest, or second toughest (behind McK) game on the schedule. As far as competition level goes, I think scheduling IV similar to facing scheduling Wadsworth, Highland or Nordonia.
You guys just have to get over that mental block that is McKinley. I have seen numerous Green teams that were better and lost that game. Get that first win and you will be ok
I'm 90 percent sure Green would have won that game, and the league, in 2023 if Manson didn't break his collarbone in the second quarter at Benson.
Wow. Forgot IV went 16-0 winning the D4 ship last year.
Was 2023 the year you guys had a 21 point lead? Just look at it as another game. I'm sure the kids are reminded that hey you never beat them so I'm sure that puts pressure on them. It was the same way with Massillon vs Iggy should of beat them several times but couldn't, then after that first win the second came shortly after.
It was 27-7 Green at halftime. 28-27 McKinley was the final.
