Wonder what the Reginals will look like. Should be fun! Good luck to everyone this year!
You can always find individual examples to buck a trend, but I'd generally rather be in the smaller division where there isn't as much depth, especially if I'm going to be on the larger side of the enrollment pool.I was thinking more in general. With East Canton, McDonald and Maplewood, is it an easier road in D2 for the boys?
You are right. I should have done some comparisons. I shouldn't have singled out Rootstown. 3 or 4 years ago they were much better but last year they were not so strong. I saw other traditionally D3 teams that have moved up too. Is the D3-D2 line moving down a bit?
Mr. Slippery, are there more smaller schools offering CC...Fielding full teams.
LCCC - Boys - Woodridge brings back the best team in the state. Bay should be a top state level team. Cloverleaf and Tallmadge bring back solid foundations and should be in the mix to qualify to the state meet. Fairview should be right there with Cloverleaf and Tallmadge. Clearly the top District.
GlenOak - Boys - $V$M then who knows. I agree Coventry and Springfield should be right there, but it's time for those two teams to step it up at the Regional level and at least be in the top 10.
Trumble - Boys - Salem is a team that should have top 10 in the state as a goal. Poland and Lakeview are right there where Springfield and Coventry are and should be looking at next level.
Madison - NDCL, Lake Catholic and Chagrin Falls seem to put solid teams on the line.
Woodridge is better this year than last year and they will bring back a tough team next year. who knows after that?
Bay boys definitely practiced pack running last night, they have much more potential than they showed.With little course comparison used, Madeira ran a bit faster at the Pre State meet than Bay did at Keystone, so I would expect them to be ranked #2
Heck, some may even give Madeira a first place vote
You are right. I looked at how the boys were listed first and the girls below them and when I was panned all the way to right, I assumed boys were listed on top as far as qualifiers and the girls below. However, it still sucks that a District with 12 teams and one with 14 will get the same number of qualifiers as the two with 16 or more.Not sure that is correct information. Last year the girls had 20 teams and the boys 19 at Regional. Is that only 4 boys teams from Glenoak and 5 girls teams??
In the CC polls, I'm not sure why Woodridge girls are ranked below Poland Seminary. Tallmadge should be above them too. Tallmadge should be about 10th or 11th, then Woodridge right behind them, then Poland Seminary. Woodridge has beaten Poland twice head to head and Tallmadge has beaten them both. Minerva should be below all of them.
At LCCC; Beaumont, Tallmadge and Woodridge should take 3 of the 5 spots. Who is going to grab the next 2?
