Yes
great game, both teams playing on a muddy field, defenses played well for BOTH teams, Cats D has really improved..... the young Niemeyer boy has stepped up his game for the Stephy boy... with that injury, we lost our best WR and an all state QB...... so it has been a process...
Actually, that only happens if Fort Loramie beats LCC. Otherwise, New Bremen will play Cincinnati College Prep and Minster plays Bradford.
Don't even get me started dude. It's worse when it ain't just ML.
I don't know about that...you could have 2 state champs from the same conference...
Ice cold take in the sense of it be opposite of a "hot" or controversial take.
That’s debatable… 2-6 in MAC play, one of those wins was in overtime and they were down big, and they missed the expanded playoffs. Both schools messed up big time IMO
I guess I've been too busy with my purple depression blinders on to realize. But You're totally right. I just saw 4-6 and assumed better. But MAC wise, DSJ only beat Parkway and FR.
It doesn’t! Marion can be beat, I was at the game the last time they lost, to New Bremen. The great thing about the MAC is we don’t whine about teams being to good, we go out work our butts off and try to get them next time. And the great thing is even if you don’t beat Marion or win the league still doesn’t mean you can’t still win State, happens almost every year.
Marion can be beat but its Very rare that it will actually happen. The last time they lost a MAC game was in 2019 and then the next year they lost to Bremen in the playoffs. The issue is the each time someone beats them, it’s a one off win instead of a good series. Next year, I think if Stephy can stay healthy Minster has a shot at them and maybe Coldwater but other than that the bottom five teams have no shot against them. Anna, FR, Parkway, DSJ and St. Henry virtually have no chance to win the league unless they have a stud class ie. Anna in 2019
If they think that way they’ll certainly be right. Fortunately not all teams do.
You can probably add Minster and New Bremen to that list. Can they win a state title in their division? Yes, as long as Marion Local's not in their division. When was the last time Minster or New Bremen won the MAC? What's everyone's record vs. ML or Coldwater since 2000?
Go to Joe Eitel to look up Harbin points. ML is one and Ansonia is #2.
So, just wondering what has been the talk around the BlueJays fans deciding to stay in the MAC ?
Actually there really hasn't been any.
Many MAC schools likely felt the same way about DSJ in the late 90s through the late 00s. Things change. It’s not easy, but teams can be dethroned.
I’m not saying they are going into every offseason with 2nd place on their mind, but it is a big step up. Heck even that Anna class couldn’t beat Marion.
New Bremen was co champ in 1988 with Minster for the Cards only MAC championship. Minster last won the MAC in 2019 in a 3-way tie with Anna and Marion Local. Marion Local has a losing record vs Coldwater and Versailles (all time). Versailles dominated the series pre-Goodwin (yes coaches do matter a lot). Coldwater has a winning record vs all MAC schools I believe. Since 1999 (Goodwin) Marion Local is 13 - 13 vs Coldwater (including playoffs) DSJ is most likely 2nd with most wins vs Flyers in that time span.
DSJ is 11-18 vs Marion Local under Goodwin but have lost 12 in a row. Minster was tri-champ in 2019 but I think their last title before that was 1989. New Bremen one title ever despite winning a couple state titles. When was the last time Marion Local and Coldwater did not finish top 3 in the MAC? Occasionally one of us sneaks into a tie for 3rd.
Last time the Flyers did not finish in the top 3 in the MAC would have been 2009 (3 - 5 ), for Coldwater probably in the 90's. In 2019 there was a 3-way tie for the MAC championship (3 teams with one league loss) Coldwater was 6 - 2 so either the Cavs finished 2nd or 4th in the league depending how you look at it.
