I believe that Coach Larlham has been working with the Stow program. Not sure if he will be back with svsm and he is just working with his kids in the Stow youth program or if he is looking for a new position with another program, etc.

I do hope that coach joins the Stow program. They can use the help based on the past two seasons and I know what a quality coach Dan is. Would be a major asset if they do add him.

The new coach never even contact him at all, very short sighted!

Meet the 2024 STVM Coaching Staff
 
Thread bump with a side of school news at the administrative level.

STVM President Mark Butterworth is returning to his NFL background. He has accepted a position as vice president of instant replay. I am sure the compensation is significantly more with the NFL.

Any team news lately? I know we are in the "slow news" season - probably won't hear much until summer camp opens in August.

STVM President Mark Butterworth to step down at the end of school year for NFL job

Mark Butterworth, who has been the president at St. Vincent-St. Mary for a year, will soon vacate the position to join the NFL, officials announce.

I get where you are coming from 52 - and I don't necessarily disagree with you.

But keep these two things in mind.

First a change at this level of the administration should not translate to play on the field if all the coaches stay intact. If it does, then the players need to do a better job of staying more focused on the task at hand on the field. The common expression is this change is "way above the players pay grade".

If this change did include a housecleaning throughout the athletic department, then yes - you probably have a valid point. But since it did not, as long as everyone stays the course, this is a non issue. This situation, as it relates to lower level employees, is no different than one company buying another simply to gain a bigger marketshare and eliminate competition.

Secondly, look at this from Butterworth's position. He is being offered a job at an extremely stable organization with a bright future that probably gives him close to financial security for the rest of his life. He has worked his entire professional life for an opportunity like this. I would be shocked if this offer is not at least double what he is earning at STVM. No way he should - and didn't - turn that down.

Yeah I was talking about the student body more so than the athletes but I see where you are coming.

16-0 and hoisting the trophy at Tom Benson.....

Reality will probably say something different.

In all seriousness - I want to see the fire back out on the field. It was clear last year, especially once the wheels started to come off, the coaching staff failed to adjust and it translated directly onto the field. Not the kids fault - zero leadership from where it should have been coming from.

From what I have read so far, that will be vastly different this year starting with Coach Grant. And that is a good thing.
 
I will say this I think the team can record a record of 7-3 at worst 8-2 at best. Yeah I will say my expectations as far as both coaching staff/team
Priority number 1 is getting the bell back from Walsh.
priority number 2 is making a deeper run in the playoffs since Nickol took over our playoff record is abysmal 3-5 before both Nickol and Cistone took over our playoff record was 9-4 from 2014-17 we always went above week 12 our coaches were always prepared but I hope our new staff can learn to adjust better than the past 2 regimes.
priority number 3 FINISHING!!! playing this sport isn't easy and how last years team finished proved that last year's staff didn't do their job. Coach Grant has to push these kids like Boarman did with his teams in the past especially if these kids want to play at the D1 level.

7-3 or 8-2 looks right.
 
A very early sneak preview of the Perry Panthers. 9 Starters back on offense, 8 on defense. Not overly big in the trenches, but quick. Offensively, QB is back as a third year starter, 6-3, good speed and a decent arm. I’m hearing there may be a little change in that more passing than the past few years. Especially with 2 receivers over 6-4. Defensively again not huge in the trenches, but quick and strong. Linebackers look to be the strength. One is a junior & a two year starter, as he started as a freshman. Two of the DB’s are back. I’m not much on predictions, and always wait until the scrimmages are over. Last year Perry lost their fastest player (a 10.89- 100 meters guy) senior RB with a slight hip fracture in the first scrimmage. He never played again until week 8. It definitely effected their offense and defense because he was also the starting free safety. So I’ll check out a few camp days this summer and give you a few updates going into August.
 
JXS: What are you most looking forward to this upcoming season?



DG: Just seeing these boys develop and change, and see their tape significantly change from the year before. I’m very, very excited to see these boys develop and change. That’s not saying change like they need to change. That’s really just growth and seeing these boys grow up.
We’ve got a young group and just watching their growth so far from winter workouts to now it’s been pretty, pretty cool to see. But I’m very excited to see these boys get out in that field in August and really cut it loose. Because they’ve been changing, their attitudes have been changing it has been good to see these kids truly feel excited about something. And who knows, maybe we get to see those Knights in the playoffs.
