Sounds like everyone is trustworthyno locks on lockers at Marion Local either.
I remember in the past 5 years that Marion Local played Chaminaude Julianne as a non conference game in back to back years. At the time CJ was a D4 school in the GCL, that was winning a lot of football games. Even went to the playoffs one of those years in D4. Marion Local beat them in both contests by scores of 34-14 and 35-7.What’s the biggest school (enrollment/Division-wise) that Marion Local and Coldwater each have faced, over the years? How did those games go? I know that each plays some slightly bigger schools during the regular season, due to some schools in the MAC being in higher divisions— but what about during non-conference regular season games (say over the last 25 years)?
Delphos St Johns played Detroit Catholic Central in 2011(DSJ lost just 14-7) and their enrollment is over 1,000. Hard to beat that I would think.I remember in the past 5 years that Marion Local played Chaminaude Julianne as a non conference game in back to back years.

In 2008 Coldwater beat D1 Kokomo (Indiana) 41-7. We were their only regular season loss that year.What’s the biggest school (enrollment/Division-wise) that Marion Local and Coldwater each have faced, over the years? How did those games go?

Yuck, the taste though.One thing no one has noted that is a key to the success is the rust in the water. Had a buddy from Versailles and when we were in college together everyone would ask us how we were bigger than everyone else especially height wise. We said aside from the blonde hair blue eyed German heritage, had to be the rust in the well water. Builds character and extra minerals for growing.
Nothing like it, especially out of the hose on a 95 degree day. Very refreshing.Yuck, the taste though.
In 2006 DSJ visited Worthington Kilbourne in the opening game of the season and won 28-12. Kilbourne was a D1 school. I think they were having a down year.(4-6) Still, it was a D6 beating a D1.Delphos St Johns played Detroit Catholic Central in 2011(DSJ lost just 14-7) and their enrollment is over 1,000.

After the game I'm walking back to my truck and I overhear a fellow from Delphos on a cellphone talking about winning the game. The person on the other end must have asked if he was serious. I'll always remember his reply, "As serious as a heart attack".
As I recall Kilbourne scored first, and as you say, expected to roll over DSJ.DSJ had lost 21 starters from the previous years state champ team and finished 6-4. Kilbourne lost a bunch of starters off a Div I 2nd round playoff team the year before. It was pretty apparent many at Kilbourne had no respect for Div 6 DSJ and expected to roll over them easily.
Back in college, I lived in a house of Minster, Coldwater, St. Henry and Versailles guys. It was not unusual for any of us to bring gallons of tap water from home to drink instead of Cincinnati city water.One thing no one has noted that is a key to the success is the rust in the water.

yes , but out of a Farm well...... in town water doesn't countBack in college, I lived in a house of Minster, Coldwater, St. Henry and Versailles guys. It was not unusual for any of us to bring gallons of tap water from home to drink instead of Cincinnati city water.
There are a few towns in Greater Cincinnati that also have well water (not individual farm wells— but municipal wells) rather than getting their water from the City of Cincinnati (which draws from the Ohio River)— e.g.- Lockland, Wyoming...Forest Park used to have its own well sources... sorry for the digression into water sources and quality, but you all brought it up...Back in college, I lived in a house of Minster, Coldwater, St. Henry and Versailles guys.

There appear to be many non-MAC schools in D-VI and D-VII that have rather small d backs, linebackers, and skill players, yet huge linemen playing at 230 and up. It's like these schools have few 180-220 lb guys who can move well.
Conversely, it seems as if MAC rosters are filled with such 180-220 lb players - they might make up 9 of the 11 starters on both sides of the ball. They're usually bigger than the opposition's d backs, linebackers, and skill players, and thus fairly often win those individual battles. And while they're typically smaller on the line than the foe's giants, they're more athletic and have better endurance - so they win many of those battles too.
Anyone else notice this?
True— those towns do have a town water plant, that processes the water— because they have certain municipal water quality standards that they have to meet... they have federal and/or state water quality inspectors that come in every year, and test their water output— that’s not happening with ”country well water’....The country well water is not processed. Those towns that pull water from wells still travel through the water treatment plant.
I do think people also dismiss the genuinely great skill players that come out of the league. There are many with the opinion that the league has good athletes for a small division schools, but not elite. I was thinking about the QB talent to go through ML during Goodwin’s tenure and it’s really impressive:There appear to be many non-MAC schools in D-VI and D-VII that have rather small d backs, linebackers, and skill players, yet huge linemen playing at 230 and up.

Who were the FCS and D3 QBs?I do think people also dismiss the genuinely great skill players that come out of the league.

Two D1 Power Five Recruits
One D3 National Player of the Year Finalist
One D1 FCS Player
One MLB Starting Pitcher
Stucke went on to college as a safety and Otte went on to a stand-out career as a DB. They didn’t move on as QBs, but still outstanding talents.Who were the FCS and D3 QBs?
Oh gotcha. Thank you!Stucke went on to college as a safety and Otte went on to a stand-out career as a DB. They didn’t move on as QBs, but still outstanding talents.
Sounds like a good science fair project.True— those towns do have a town water plant, that processes the water— because they have certain municipal water quality standards that they have to meet... they have federal and/or state water quality inspectors that come in every year, and test their water output— that’s not happening with ”country well water’....
This whole thing like that Kentucky legend about why thoroughbred race horses bred in Kentucky are superior to those from other parts of the country— the limestone underpinning the soil allows calcium (lime?) to leach into the bluegrass— which the horses eat in the pasture land of Kentucky— resulting in greater strength in the (super thin) leg bones of Kentucky raised thoroughbreds...now, we’re to believe that Western Ohio’s German-American farm boys grow bigger, sturdier, more robust— because of those extra minerals that leach into the well water of those country/farm wells...
I don't trust Celinas water as far as I can throw it.How many remember Celina's water from way back?
That was some nasty tasting water. ?
i think you could have taken a cup straight from the Lake , and it would have tasted better.....How many remember Celina's water from way back?
