I’m sorry but beating Tipp is not gonna be easy, Piqua is obviously not the juggernaut we all thought them to be. Don’t get me wrong, they are still damn good, but so is Xenia and Tipp.
On another note, I think it’s safe to say Trei’Shaun Sanders is a lock to be conference player of the year. He is averaging a whopping 12 yards a carry and has 750 yards on just 62 touches. He should easily break 2,000 yards.
Xenia just might go 10-0
The kid from Greenville may have something to say about that. We’ll see what it looks like in 3 more weeks after he goes up against the Xenia and Piqua defenses.I’m sorry but beating Tipp is not gonna be easy, Piqua is obviously not the juggernaut we all thought them to be.

I don’t think you put anyone up with Xenia after they destroyed Piqua like that. Sorry. Tipp and Piqua belong to tier 2 and then tiers below would be tier 3-4. Tipp might catch Xenia off-guard but until then, I see them with Piqua in Tier 2.Tier 1: Xenia, Piqua, Tipp
Tier 2: Troy, Stebbins, Sidney
Tier 3: Butler, Fairborn, Greenville, West Carrollton
I'm sorry, but as long as Piqua doesn't have any major injury's they should beat Tipp by as many as they decide. I'm not getting into this debate until after week 7.
Xenia will go 10-0 providing they don't have a huge meltdown! I said before the game last night, the winner will go 10-0 and the loser will go 9-1.
I'm going to bet Short gets it. He's a stud on defense, too. He's about 100 rushing yards ahead and has way more receiving yards too.The kid from Greenville may have something to say about that. We’ll see what it looks like in 3 more weeks after he goes up against the Xenia and Piqua defenses.
Don't worry West Carrollton's coming up!Can we not be Stinko Malenko for one season?
No one seems to be saying they're great, but they've done enough the last few seasons to be treated with respect and not disregarded. You can say the exact same thing about Xenia and Piqua's first three opponents.While I agree that Troy will probably finish 7-3 or 6-4, let’s not act like Stebbins is a great team, look at the 3 teams they beat to go 3-0. Mother Teresa’s School of the Blind could have went 3-0 with that early schedule
Have to agree. Stebbins is still a team on the rise. Not so long ago the Indians would be easily last in whatever conference they played in. Now I see them as sort of "best of the rest" in the MVL, which is a massive improvement. Piqua, Tipp, and Troy are still better programs. And Xenia (by way of a very good coach) has skipped the line to becoming a very good program. But Stebbins is right on that edge. I think they end up 6-4, which is historically good for Stebbins.No one seems to be saying they're great, but they've done enough the last few seasons to be treated with respect and not disregarded.

I definitely think Piqua is better than and should beat Tipp, but saying "by as many as they decide" is a little naïve, especially after what Xenia just did to them. Tipp is solid and should be able to compete with them for a while at the very least.
Why is Greenville struggling so bad? You would think being the biggest school in a football crazy county that they would experience some level of succeessCan we not be Stinko Malenko for one season?
How do you explain Darke County being a football crazy county?Why is Greenville struggling so bad? You would think being the biggest school in a football crazy county that they would experience some level of succeess
Versailles is a Historic Program, Ansonia has had some good teams over the years. Arcanum too. Tri-Village since they've began has been doing really well. Yet idk why Greenville has struggled to win.How do you explain Darke County being a football crazy county?

Just asking a simple question on why Greenville is so bad?If you can't connect the dots, I can't help you.
I don't know. Only thing I can think of with those other small schools, is that they have fewer fall sports to draw from.Why is Greenville struggling so bad? You would think being the biggest school in a football crazy county that they would experience some level of succeess
Tipp is averaging 37 points a game, while only giving up 5 a game. Tipp has the best run defense in the league, giving up only 67 yards per game on the ground. Stebbins has the 2nd worst passing offense in the MVL. The only way a team is gonna beat Tipp is by beating them over the top, hence why Xenia is such a bad matchup for Tipp and Piqua is not. Stebbins is gonna have to throw the ball to beat Tipp and they haven’t been very successful at that this yearI’ve been wrong before but I think Stebbins has chance vs. Tipp Friday. Tipps defense is playing well, but the offense still has some questions IMO. Plus with Xenia the following week it would be my upset pick of the week.
If you look at programs that are strong on a regular basis, they tend to have coaches who have built strong foundations which kids and the community has bought in to. The development starts at a young age and continues through high school. In coaching, it’s more than X’s and O’s. It’s a culture. Look at a program like Piqua. Bill Nees has been there a long time and has built a program that the kids and community are well engaged in from a young age.I don't know. Only thing I can think of with those other small schools, is that they have fewer fall sports to draw from.
I'm interested to see what their ceiling really is, especially come playoff time. We all saw Piqua make a nice run last year, winning 3 in the playoffs before running into Winton Woods, so I'd like to think Xenia might be capable of that as well given the right seedings. Heck, maybe Piqua gets a rematch with them at some point?Xenia is destined for big things this year
Greenville probably has one of the most exciting RB in the conference. Plays D as well, all around really good ball player....really like the kid and too bad the team is not doing well.Just asking a simple question on why Greenville is so bad?
