Paulding was 6-2 in 1987, 7-1 in 1982, won the conference in 70 & 71 https://www.nwc-sports.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/nwcfootballstandingsall.htmWhen was the last time Paulding really made noise? Genuinely curious. Paulding isn't a school name I hear very often with athletic success or football playoffs. When I hear NWC, I usually think of Spencerville, Columbus Grove, and Ada. I know Delphos Jefferson has been up-and-down and Crestview was a co-champion last year. It's a quality competitive league. No clue about predictions though.

What does Grove return?
I would say the favorite is Grove. Followed closely by Allen East. Dark horses will be Crestview and Spencerville. Grove returns maybe the most rounded team and their offense will be explosive. Allen East has maybe the best overall QB in the league. Spencerville always runs a great wing T and Crestview is returning far more than people think. I would round it out with Bluffton, Ada, Paulding, and Jefferson (although Jefferson's QB is maybe one of the best athletes around...just no help).
Tyler Clum....not sure. Did he get hurt in basketball? The kid was a stud last year as a sophomore. I was looking forward to seeing him play. Hopefully he is full go for Allen East this year.I heard Allen East's QB was out for the year, anyone else heard this?
I may be up that area this weekend and I will ask around.I heard Allen East's QB was out for the year, anyone else heard this?

Wish we had more threads on conferences as well
I started a NWCC thread awhile ago. I could try to dig that up.I'm trying to get info on the 20 NE/EC Indiana counties that border those 20 NW/WC Ohio counties on the GID, but no one is biting there either.
Also, Indiana has the Indiana Football Digest that details key players & teams for each season. Does Ohio have an equivalent to that?

The only thing I could think of is when Eric Frantz does his division previews and other things for MaxPreps. Not really sure if there's anything else.
Clum tore his ACL and is out for his junior season. Bryce Belcher, who was a really good receiver for the Mustangs last year, will be the QB. Not as polished a passer, but gives AE an additional dimension with his running ability. Losing Clum is a huge loss for sure.Looking at social media. It looks like he had a surgery in May. Would be curious if it was a knee or something
Googled and Friday Night Football (FNF) Ohio popped up for 2018 but nothing for 2019. It claimed to have details on every football playing school last year.

I heard through the grapevine that this might be Bluffton's worse team ever in school history.
I can't imagine Richards lasting another year anyway. Way to many kids are being driven to soccer at that school.
I'm curious as to what production Grove lost. From my understanding, all of their key players including some of their dominant linemen will be back. Maybe I have missed something. As for Allen East, I would probably bump them out of my top 2-3. You assessment is likely on. I would probably bump them down into the 4/5 spot. They have a great new coach and are a fast offense. However, Clum was/is one of the best all around athletes Allen East has seen in awhile. He played fantastic basketball with high energy as well. It'll be a big loss.Spencerville has a lot back and crestview has more back than people think. Grove has QB back but lost a lot of production and AE may have been one of the favorites with their QB time will tell how the back up QB is. This is my guess.
Spencerville
Grove
Crestview/AE
Paulding
Bluffton
Ada

Thanks. I didn't realize they lost that much! Probably wouldn't put their DB in the "tops in the league" conversation. That would go to Wade Sheets who is gone from Crestview but continuing at Air Force. Maybe Drew Kline next. Of course....the all league awards could say otherwise, but I think those two spoke for themselves.By far their best offensive and defensive lineman is gone in that big boy. Top Rusher, maybe too 2 rushers. Top 2 WR and arguably the best DB in the league. Toward end of the year they were playing 6-7 seniors on defense. They do have their QB back who is a good player along with majority of linemen. It’s Spencerville’s league to lose IMO they have a big coaching advantage vs Grove.
That said, the QB (Reynolds), Shroeder running the ball, and Clement catching....that's the core of their explosive offense from last year, I believe. Could be wrong. Crestview's lone loss was to Grove (before playoffs), and I remember these names popping up over the loud speaker quite a bit.
Evan Schroeder. I do remember hearing his name. Maybe it was the defensive side of the ball but again, another returning player. Looks like Grove will have a ton of returning Juniors and Seniors. They have really big numbers from what I hear. Shouldn't have plenty to pick from.Reynolds should be huge this year for Grove, as well as Clement. The kid is pretty dang explosive. Not sure which Schroeder you are referencing, last year the senior Nemire was the main back. They should have some good young running backs coming up though.
Grove earned 9 1st or 2nd team all NWC selections 7 of the awards were seniors. The two underclassmen were Reynolds and a soph OL. Spencerville has more back than grove.

I know Crestview beat Spencerville last year but A LOT had to go right for crestview for that to happen including a last second TD pass.
