VASJ 21
Warrensville 12
VASJ beats Warrensville to win their 3rd straight win on the year after falling to CVCA in the opener. That 28-25 loss to CVCA is looking a heck of a lot better as they are routing 2-1 Wooster Triway. Vikings return home to take on Port Clinton for their first Saturday night game at Sparky D.
VASJ hasn’t played anybody yet. Does anyone really think this schedule will get them playoff ready? Gotta go play tougher teams, call Holy Name, E.C. Or Kirtland for non league games.VASJ is getting some help from Waterloo as they lead Sebring McKinley 35-6 at the half

Schedules are made a few years in advance. It's hard to predict who will be good and who will be loaded at the smaller school level. I support CVCA and we played VASJ week 1 and they were very competitive with us. We are 3-1 and our only loss was 14-7 to undefeated Aurora. We have beaten 3-1 VASJ, 3-1 Revere and 2-2 Triway. We played Crestwood week 1 the past two years and they were pretty bad. This year they are 4-0 so far. I don't think you can really blame the schedule, VASJ has been down the last few years and probably scheduled accordingly. They may go 8-2 and not qualify for the playoffs but 8-2 is something to build off of in the new coaches first season.
I had heard VASJ refuses to play Lake, NDCL and Kirtland. These are three very short trips and seemingly good gate games. Yet they refuse to do it. Doesn’t make sense...Played EC Week 2 the past 3 seasons, played Kirtland from 2014 up until 2017, played Holy Name every year until they left and sticking with west side schools. The schedule was made I want to say in the winter before the changes and was set.
CVCA was a quality opponent, can’t help with Collinwood as left looking for a week 2 opponent, Waterloo and Port Clinton are down, CCC you have to play, JFK is always a tough opponent, Gilmour depends on the year, Lutheran East is having a solid year and is 6th in the region, University School is always a tough team to play. The front load is down yes, however they are playing and beating teams they are supposed to
Regarding that issue, Lake and NDCL have more numbers then we do and everyone has to play both sides of the ball. We probably have mid 30’s to 40 kids in the program total all while we may have 15 kids tops playing reserve/JV football. While the Lakes and the Latins have 50 kids for varsity and 30 kids for JV/Reserve is a huge disadvantage. Storey never scheduled those games because he knew his teams would get killed. That’s why the Euclid game back in 2014 was one year deal because he knew that 2014 could compete with Euclid. If they played this year. Running clock by the end of the 1st quarter. It’s more of being realistic. And Kirtland every year we played them from 14-17 it was a curb stomping. With Elvis in the building, I have already seen some improvements and new form of energy from the kids and he was a big name that the school knew he could draw kids in to play football. (Legally obviously) I noticed with Sowers team (again no disrespect towards him) they played flat had no energy, Couldn’t even beat Warrensville or Shaw which are usually winnable games. Having 30 kids on the roster lasted and dropping like flies. It was an ugly trend that was gonna continue and I cut him some slack because of the youth and inexperience on those two teams.I had heard VASJ refuses to play Lake, NDCL and Kirtland. These are three very short trips and seemingly good gate games. Yet they refuse to do it. Doesn’t make sense...
Not to mention they had a one game deal last year to play Cuyahoga Hts to replace Kirtland on the schedule and that went about as expected for us.I had heard VASJ refuses to play Lake, NDCL and Kirtland.
