A few of their elementary grade levels have 2 classes, so 25-30 in some grades.

Bumping this thread again to ask, does anyone know about Lordstown and whatever meeting they held earlier this year? I'm guessing the silence is the answer to the question because if they were moving ahead with considering to start football it would have been on the news and made the rounds here already.

It would be a misguided expenditure for any school to start a football program from scratch.
And yet many schools have done so.

Yeah, well, the educational system is not run by the best and brightest.

Dayton Public currently has seven high schools, six "traditional" schools and an online, alternative type school. Students can play football at Belmont (433 boys, DII), Ponitz (233 boys, DIV), Dunbar (235 boys, DIV), Meadowdale (263 boys, DIII) and Thurgood Marshall (251 boys, DIII) with Stivers 117 boys) being the only one that doesn't.

Would adding football actually increase Stivers's enrollment? Not sure how that would affect a Magnet school.

Bump. I did see when looking into some of the programs mentioned that MCA did achieve OHSAA membership but nothing on football.

The commissioner of the Northern 8 hinted that despite Toledo Christian returning to 11-man, 8-man football would have an announcement about growing soon.
Yes, 1 more team will be announced very soon.

A brand new team or a team dropping down from 11 man?
A team dropping down.

It's been on the back burner because of funding. It's pretty expensive to equip and uniform players and unless a significant donor comes along it will be awhile longer if ever.

Medina Christian Academy has a future league option.
And we know who a lucrative donor is. Hunt Brothers Pizza & gasoline makes a lot of money.

If I could bring Medina Christian Academy to PACtion™ I would only do it if Koach was running it the program. Could you imagine that

Newton has been heard to say a flat NO to football. Let kids from those schools participate in border schools athletics. Newton kids could participate at Milton, Troy, Covington Bradford
FM could participate at Arcanum and Greenville.
Barrett and kids from those schools do that though.
Ohio really needs to look at co-ops like Pennsylvania. I know in PA a co-op of North Clarion, Clarion - Limestone and Clarion borough made it to state this year. North Clarion too small to field a team and Clarion- Limestone and Clarion were rivals with Clarion larger. Ohio needs to look just east to see it works.

The thing is there's a ton of co-ops, it's just that until recently teams were only really referenced by their 'host school' name only. So you didn't really know. It's more situations like Clarion/Clarion-Limestone where two rivals who don't have much of a choice come together and decide to create a new identity to avoid one school losing their 'team'. Also, they tend to alternate hosting games between the two schools. Just as Union/ACV did and Ridgway/Johnsonburg did.
Though, I hear Union/ACV is only playing at Union now and ACV was one of the schools contacted about going to 8-man a few years ago when there was a push in D9 to establish 8-man. The biggest issue? Can't play for a state title in 8-man. Even though these teams were never going to even sniff a state title in 11-man.

Troy had a really good O-Lineman from Newton a few years ago. I want to say he signed to Bowling Green or Toledo
You're correct. I'm not 100% sure how he did it because he also threw shot/disc for Newton in the spring. I'm not sure if he switched every year or just his senior year. For some reason, I thought he signed somewhere to throw, but maybe he signed to play football. My son threw against him; he was pretty good.

Well they are adding varsity football games for this season. Quite misguided to go from nothing right to varsity.
I could be wrong, but when Tri Village formed their football program, didn't they have to have a JV only schedule for a year or two? I didn't think you could go straight into a varsity schedule.
I could be 100% be making this up.

I don't think you are making that up. I remember when Anna started a program and had to play a JV schedule as well. We sent our JV team to play them and they were already a playoff contender of a team at the Varsity level. It was ugly. I also remember Bradford having to start with a JV schedule for a year or two in the years following when they didn't have a team.
