Strong pre-season schedule, but the opener against Dunbar again this year is kind of a let down. A tougher non-conference opponent might help come playoff time.
What happens to the funding?I will donate more!!!
Noooooooooo! No more transturf fields!
Turf lives matter!
Princeton can be a hit or miss but I like it. TCC, I dont know what they have but history dictates, they are quality opponent. Dunbar...years ago, that would be a good game but now, that is a tuner game and nothing wrong with that to get things on track...essentially another preseason game. You'll know how your team will compete in the playoffs come week 7, when they are playing their best and peaking and week 1 is a distant memory. I dont hold a lot of stock in the first game of the year...they can be ugly even with a win.
Who do you think everyone should be talking about?
What do the Devil's numbers look like this year? I've always been impressed with the amount of kids they put into an uniform. Since you guys left the CBC I haven't tracked so well, what's the deal with the Liette twins?
109 kids 9th through 12th grade. The freshman and sophomore classes alone have over 60 kids between the two. The Liette twins are bigger and faster than last year and I expect both to compete for conference player of the years honors. Not entirely sure if Cael will be going two ways as the starting running back but he will definitely be getting carry’s. Evan broke the single season receptions record last year, and without Stanley Clyne, I fully expect him to break his own record this season.
GREAT Numbers!!! Thanks for the info and I will be sure to track the twins this year. Good luck to the Red Devils
For a smaller D3 school in a sport that is seeing numbers decline across the board, it truly is an impressive number. It’s what tends to happen when you have a great coach and winning culture
spot on!
Week one vs Bellbrook should be a barn burner, so to speak. Get the W in that, looks like Piqua is the only thing that separates the Devil's from a 10-0 season...IMO, and not dismissing the others on the schedule as Troy and Xenia could be a snake bite.
Do they have a capable QB to get him the ball though? I feel like that's the biggest question with keeping their offense rolling this season
I think this year's QB play will be the true test of Burgbacher's coaching. I don't think Tipp will have a QB the caliber of Poronsky leading the offense, but it won't be the drop off to the typical QB Tipp has had in the past. A combination of the new offense and coaching will lead to more consistent quality play across the board. We have seen it at many other positions, and I think we'll see it at QB as well.
Braden Burgbacher is recovering from a torn ACL. He seems to have the most talent of the bunch but it is yet to be seen if he will be ready for the season. There are a few others including Peyton Shultz who will be competing for the job and it is going to be a good battle. Watch out for freshman QB Larkin Thomas, he will be a good one
I'm curious how you would know that Burgbacher 1. Tore his ACL and 2. Has the most talent? Considering his only recorded stats last year was against West Carollton. It makes me think you are either a VERY close parent or (god forbid) a tipp coach. As a tipp guy myself I don't appreicate you throwing all this information out for these people to read. You have said the exact number of players on tipp's roster, named freshman kids, injuries, and more. i really doubt a tipp parent would have access to all this information...
Information like this may seem intimate, but hardly a closely held secret. If you are active in the community, you can extract info from parents, trainers, coaches from other sports, and even baseball umpires
. I get most of what I know from the kids themselves. All you have to do now is have an interest and pursue what you want to know about. I haven’t had a kid in the program for over 10 years and can verify most of what isgreat’s has to say. And who he is is not a big secret. Why would you seem so concerned? Do you think he is colluding with the other teams in the MVL and spreading fake news
