I believe that a nearby resident allowed use of their garage for a gameday locker room.

I remember a scrimmage there where admission was a bar of soap so that the team had a supply for the coming season.

I also remember a big 8-7 win over Marion Local somewhere in the mid-70's.

I'm pretty sure that was 1975 - I attended that game because I begged my dad to take me. He finally relented and we drove to Minster from Maria Stein. I think we arrived late.

Anyway, with the score 8-7, I believe ML had a 4th down very close to the goal line late in the game and hc Jim Lippincott opted for a td attempt rather than a fg. The Flyers were stopped.

I recall ML qb Frank Griesdorn throwing his helmet in frustration at some point very late in that game - he did it on the Marion sideline. Tough loss for the Flyers.

Lippincott coached at Marion for two more seasons - he eventually became Director of Football Operations for the Bengals.

sounds like a play that Coach Blackburn would draw up.....

in the preseason that year Coach Blackburn made the statement.." if Minster doesn't go undefeated, they should run me out of town"

one point win over the flyers... and a one point loss over parkway...

Did you guys run him out of town?
 
Kind of interesting (for me at least). Back in that 1975 ML vs Minster game, Terry Griner saved the day for Minster with his pick of ML qb Griesdorn when Marion was on Minster's 4 yard line very late in the 4th. Griner's niece has married one of my sons - they and their daughter (and another child on the way) live in Minster.

The next time I see Terry I'm going to remind him that I was only 9 - and he ruined my evening by intercepting Marion's pass!

And I guess I'll have to begrudgingly buy Minster gear one of these days since my grandkids will be Cats.

Wasn't Blackburn the head coach for boys basketball for a while?

No no no no no you absolutely don't have to do that. You can simply wear a black polo shirt when you go and support your grandkids. Now if they were Cardinals, I bet you'd look great in crimson and gold....

Grandpa was a Steiner, and only would come when we played Marion. Always sat there with his blue and gold on, made me laugh everytime
 
Saw the first two possession from each in the SH CW 7 on 7 tonight. I was pleasantly surprised. Obviously hard to make any judgements from a 7 on 7, but we seemed to at least have the athletes to compete with Coldwater. Now let's see if the athletism carries over to when it's full pads.

7 on 7's are nothing but a passing practice, teams that win state titles consistently run the football. SH however has a very good jr. class should be good this year, and very good next year.

There’s not an OHSAA-mandated dead week this week, but it seems like a bunch of teams are treating it like one. And 2-a-days officially start on August 1 this year

Minster
MSML
SH
Coldwater

I believe you get 10 "camp" days that you may use anytime during the summer. Versailles is using their days right up until August 1 practice.

The rule started last year that you could use camp days to to get the five days of acclimating in so teams can start contact on 1st day of two a days.
