Saw this:Any first-hand reports from the scrimmages over the weekend ?
Hope it’s a good one next weekend as wellI'm not exactly sure what the format was, but it looked on film like Canton South got the better of it against Canton CC. These automated cameras that a lot of schools have as part of their Hudl package do some screwy things at times. Looked like it was 2-1 in favor South's 1st teamers. South scored on a long TD pass and a 70 yd. QB keeper. The backups tied 1-1 with South scoring on a long TD run, and Canton CC scoring on a long TD pass.
There were about 50 players in uniform for South. Unless they have someone penciled in for place kicking duties who wasn't there, it looks like South better plan on scoring TDs. The kicker didn't have much leg beyond PAT range. Fortunately, South probably will score a lot of TDs this year. They can move the ball through the air.
@CasualFan24 … any update?Revere coming to Northwest for a preview tonight - will be the first live action I'll see NW this year as I missed the NP scrimmage. I expect NW to struggle through the air (pretty much all season).
A few posters have opined for years that CVCA would eventually outgrow the PAC. Not sure if that's what's going on here. If anything, it seems like the other PAC schools have gotten much smaller in the past few enrollment counts. I am extremely curious if CVCA has immediate plans to join another league or be part of the creation of another league. My initial thought is they must have something in mind because life as a mid-sized independent is not fun. It will be interesting to see which mid-sized schools in around the current PAC footprint are content with their current situations and which ones put out feelers to the PAC, let alone submit a formal application for membership. Speaking of the footprint, losing CVCA potentially shrinks the league's footprint even moreso.
We shall see. On one hand, I figured there was little chance the PAC would be interested in having 2 private schools at the same time. On the other hand, I still don't know how great the interest is on the parts of the powers that be at Canton CC to join a league. If the opportunity is realistic, I'd say the PAC is as close to the "right situation" for league membership as Canton CC has seen since their days in the short-lived Hall of Fame Conference.Would the PAC be willing to replace a private school with another private school? If so, Canton Central Catholic seems like a good fit.
How was the cvca Norwayne scrimmage ?Saw this:
View attachment 32299
At Marlington, CVCA gave up a score early, but then controlled the scrimmage. Drives were limited to ten plays. CVCA put up two scores and had a third “stopped” after ten plays on the one yard line. Barring a turnover, this drive was destined to score on play 11. They probably played the equivalent of about a half, with the 2s and some 3s getting in late. Royals won the turnover battle with one pick to no turnovers forced by the Dukes.
How bout it PAC fans? How did it go elsewhere?
Is the Norwayne scrimmage this year at cvca? I wouldn’t Mind coming to watch
August 12th. 6PM. Come on up and say hello, Bobcat.
Just might ! Thanks
We missed you, @Bobcatsfan2016. It was a beautiful evening for football, with a touch of autumn in the air. Both teams found the end zone. The starters played a half. Then the JVs played four 10-minute running quarters which went quickly. Much pizza was consumed postgame, and both teams turned their attention to Week One. Good luck to the Bobcats this season!How was the cvca Norwayne scrimmage ?

14-6 panthersAny info on the Manchester vs Youngstown East scrimmage?
Just checked. Youngstown East was 1-7 last year (two games canceled) and average margin of defeat was 33 points. I know you should never use the transitive property … let alone across two different seasons. But …14-6 panthers
Was it tied 7-7 at half ?You as well!

Good job coachOn the long TD run East only had 10 kids on the field ...
Would you not agree that South's scrimmage results were more impressive than Manchester's? Talking about that is the whole point of the boardNow we are disparaging the quality of scrimmage scores?not taking the bait.please go on.
ThursdayReady for week 1!
It was just a matter of time. Ive heard for 2-3 years now that other PAC schools were complaining about the student athletes that were starting to attend CVCA. I went to school across the street when CVCA basically had no sports. Now they are getting some of the top athletes (boys and girls basketball as an example) and it wasnt sitting well with the rest of the league. As the only private school in the league, Im sure the others schools felt that its only going to get harder to compete.
