NE8 2024

[Bettorthanmost]

C’mon Lakeview! You’re just not a volleyball and cross country school! You can do it! 10 personnel and empty can’t beat the mighty NE8!!

 

[330Football]

Funny, their only touchdown came off of a pass. I also remember at least two picks. Pretty sure also this is the only game of the year where their RB was kept out of the endzone. Sounds like Poland handled them pretty well.

He had 241 yards rushing lmao

 

[Spread All Day]

Mooney hung with LC week 1 as well. I think it was a 14-0 game. Would not be surprised to see them take Streetsboro to the wire.

 

[Dynamictrio2023]

So what? He ran up and down the field. What did that get you?

You guys are good and I hope u get far in the playoffs but struthers with there real qb would have taken u guys out last week.

 

[330Football]

So what? He ran up and down the field. What did that get you?

well you said you handled him when that clearly wasn’t true. A muffed punt inside the 20 after you went 3 and out under 4 minutes left in the game in a tie ball game is what decided the game. Don’t act like your offense did anything special it was a good game decided at the end. Nothing more

 

[Spread All Day]

It doesn't matter how many yards he had in the middle of the field, he never sniffed the end zone. How many times was Struthers in the red zone and came up empty?

Even if the offense wasn't "special" - which I disagree with - it was good enough to get the win. And don't pretend special teams aren't part of the game.

Poland wins - again! Third place in the NE8 is respectable.

Beat your chest over 2nd place lol silly. Maybe they will play range again and get a chance to beat them.

 

[Spread All Day]

Well, it's actually second place, a number 3 seed, two home games, and another year of bragging rights over Struthers.

We hope to see South Range again. You guys can watch because your season will be over by then.

Kind of like last year when your season was over and Struthers kept playing for another two weeks.

Dogs won
Enough said
THIS IS THE CLASS TO DO IT
3rd place

 

[sbfan10]

Hey but you were probably
MS CHAMPS WHEN THIS CLASS WAS THERE
Congrats

What does Hubbard bring to Beloit this week?

5 years ago hubbard would bring A LOT. They in the gutter now. Need to fire the coach. Y'all will win by as many as you want

 

[Citystreets01]

He will be back this week.

If true what a disgrace

 

[Treviscraft10]

Lakeview at full strength is a pretty good team. I know they had some key injuries throughout the season. The main issue is their defense. They just can't seem to get stops.

NE8 should be 4-2 at worst this Friday with 5-1 possible. Sorry Hubbard.

Watched Garaway in a loss against D6 Ridgewood, if Lakeview plays mistake free they have a chance. As stated elsewhere, Pirates have been a good program in an otherwise weak league, but they're not as good this year as previously. JMHO

IF both teams (Poland, South Range) get there, and seeing how the schools are about 9 miles apart, can't wait to see what the state will choose as a neutral site??? Boardman, if it's available, might make sense - so they wouldn't pick there...

If they put in for it, it is the best choice. It would also depend on who else was still playing.

Well, we already know Canfield won't be playing. Maybe there?

I figured they would think it’s too close to SR? You’re right thought, what’s a few miles?

 

[McMurphy]

Exactly! Still in Mahoning County, and Poland is just a straight shot on 224. I remember a couple years ago, when Chardon played Canfield at Girard. lol

Probably put it in Ashtabula

 

[VOTR]

All depends on who puts in for that game. Got to think Boardman or Fitch would bid for a regional champ game. Only 2 places that make sense.

 

[Navagante]

Mooney has a pretty good defense

I didn’t know that. I was just going by them having a down year . But we’ll see it’s a new season for everyone now

Without their best player congrats lol. Onto the playoffs tho I don’t see Poland or SR being challenged in that region, could very well be played at Boardman of Boardman puts in to host, not sure if they will or not. Knowing the state tho they would put it somewhere dumb like Salem

 

[The 5th Season]

I do think Poland is in a good spot, however they have work to do before even thinking about the mighty Raiders.

 

[MahoningFan]

Looks like Garaway beat Mooney 14-13. It was 14-0 at half and Mooney must have figured something out .

Mooney turned the ball over early and gave Garaway short fields. Otherwise completely shut them down.

 

[Bettorthanmost]

How was Pav’s coaching in the first quarter vs. Struthers? Thought Poland out schemed them early.

 

[97Raider]

If Struthers had there star qb all year they would probably be 10 -0 right now

You’re a funny guy

 

[YTOWN]

Mooney hung with LC week 1 as well. I think it was a 14-0 game. Would not be surprised to see them take Streetsboro to the wire.

IIRC it was 7-0 with about 5 minutes left in the game. As others have reported Mooney's D is pretty good but they are on the field far too much. If any offense keeps taking 3 and outs against good football teams sooner or late their D is going to give up points. Mooney's opponents posted a cumulative 71-27 won-loss record including two 10-0 teams in LC & Big Red.

As far as the Streetsboro game I hope you are correct in that it's a competitive game but I don't know about that. I know the Rockets haven't played the toughest schedule but they are averaging 52.3 PPG and giving up 5.6. The Cardinals only chance is to control the ball and the clock and keep the Rockets' O off the field. They have to finish drives with TDs, something they have not been able to do all year for the most part. If they keep taking 3 and outs this could get ugly.

I only saw them once but the Garaway I saw is not beating South Range or Poland IMO. I have not seen Lakeview play so I don't know about their chances.

Good luck to all the local teams.

 

[Spread All Day]

Anyone know anything about Norton???

 

[Dynamictrio2023]

Anyone know anything about Norton???

They aren’t any good struthers will prob win by 30

 

[330Football]

No shot they win by 30. It’ll be like 2 score game unless we start doing something drastically different on offense

 

[Spread All Day]

Struthers has to focus on the little things. It’s like special teams does not exist in Struthers. Big special teams in key moments in both loses for the cats. One of them, at the end of the game. Its a new season with the playoffs starting, and the cats are favored this week but they need to figure it out or they will lose.
