I bet the interview was fun.
"So where do you stand on telling the players' parents to fell-ate you?"
#12 - Newcomerstown (Win games) - Do I really need to type anything?
Does anybody remember some really awesome teams from Newcomerstown? I do. Seemed like a powerhouse every year. Maybe too long ago for anyone to remember.
Found this online. Seems impossible.
Before that, he spent the previous eight seasons at Newcomerstown, where he had very good success with an overall record of 60-21.
Cook’s teams did not have a losing season at Newcomerstown while winning Inter-Valley Conference titles in 1996, 1997 and 2001. In 2000, Cook guided Newcomerstown to the Division V playoffs for the first time ever, while in 2001, they went 10-0 and then followed that up with 7-3 in his final season in 2002 before heading on to take the challenge of turning around River View.
Yep I played on those teams you guys are talking about. We were very dominant year in year out. Then cook left and the culture went with him. What an amazing coach we had. I hope that one day they can return to being on top.
Yeah back in my day the big dogs were StrasVegas with Coach Hurst, Tusky Valley (I forget the coach) and Newc with Coach Cook.
My early guesses
North
Sandy Valley
East Canton
Buckeye Trail
TCC
Malvern
Strasburg
South
Ridgewood
Garaway
Indian Valley
Claymont
Tusky Valley
Newcomerstown
After talking to some people this weekend my predictions have changed a bit.
North

Claymont
Newcomerstown
Tusky Valley
I don’t see Newcomerstown being ahead of TV. I think they have a shot of beating either Fairfield Christian Academy or Conotton in their non league schedule. But other than those two, I don’t see them winning another game. They could be competitive with trail, claymont or Strasburg but don’t think they’ll win any of those three.
I’m hearing positive things coming from strasburg. Hopefully they can turn that program around and get it going again.
Newcomerstown will not be ahead of the biddy team I coach. It's sad that it has come to this. There is no interest and any kid that has a spec of athletic talent just leaves. The brass at Newcomerstown really needs to rethink their thought process. The current coach is not the answer but they will keep bringing him back either A. because he's one of the good ole boys, or B. because no one else wants that job. I heard grumblings of them trying to lure Cabot away from Ridgewood but I don't see him leaving anytime soon as long as he can continue to ride Tingle's coat tail. Looking back, Slusher looks like a genius when he convinced Cabot to play the Tingle kid as a freshman. Excited to see what he can bring to the table as a sophomore.
Hearing great things about the Stangs. Opening up the offense and guys in the weight room.
Looks like Ridgewood then everyone else this year in the big school.
Where is this major influx of talent coming from? They had a transfer mid season last year that sat out. I hadn't heard of any other kids.
Looks like Ridgewood then everyone else this year in the big school. Who is the favorite in the small? My guess is Sandy? Sounds like most of the coaching staffs are the same. Claymont brings back a bunch of old guys who never won. Tusky has a whole new staff after the drama there. IV graduates a big part of their team but I believe the same staff. Sandy still has their QB? That kid is pretty good.
