Best Offense in the League?

[asltw]

Which team has the dangles and the speed to put it in the net? Ranging from power play to forecheck, who has the best systems?

[TimtheEnchanter]

Hard to say without rosters and the final lines from the coaches, but these are the "proven" points producers ...

Centerville - Breslin, Bottermuller, Dowd
Beavercreek - Mazza, Green, Stout, Kullar, Davis
Sycamore - Ashton, Nazek, Wolkoff, Robertson

Don't know much more about other teams that have numbers to make more than 1 or 2 lines. So, I'd have to go:

1. Sycamore
2. Beavercreek
3. Centerville

[hawkman]

The post should have read "who has the best 1st line in the SWOSHL"

I'm not sure who Breslin/Centerville will be lined with or Green/Beavercreek, Ashton/Sycamore. If Hoover sticks around, Talawanda will have Hoover/Jackson/Davidge (not bad)

[sychockey33]

Ashton plays D guys.
but if you were to throw Naz Wolkoff and Robertson on a line tops for sure

[asltw]

I'd have to agree. Robertson/Nazek/Wolcoff would be tops. Some competition from a Mazza/Green/Kullar line, but I think based on the cumulative line, Sycamore would have it. Centerville would be third. A Hoover line could be interesting if he comes back. And yes, Ashton plays defense.

[hawkman]

i think pple really over look this tally team coming back, they got some kids that can put it in the net, and freshman that can contribute right off the bat, they'll have two strong lines for sure. and one power line if hoover comes back, and i think breslin and ashton r a little overated, sure breslin has great hands but that can only get u so far, and ashton is a great skater, but not the hands of a great scorer as well

[sychockey33]

Tally will not be good this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im sorry but all your posts about tally are wrong which includes your goalie post he is not even close to one of the better goalies. I understand your from there and want to make things sound good but just admit your going to have a rough year.

[hawkman]

ok. well we did lose some major talent from last year, but we also won the swoshl without a contest all last year. so with these losses it should make us about even with the rest of the playing field. we have 2 strong lines of D and O. and a decent goltender. sorry to say, any teams is gonna have there hands full when they play talawanda.

[Braves91]

sychockey33 just wait til the season starts and you find yourself regretting that statement. Just because we lost six seniors doesnt mean we are gonna have a rough year, we are still gonna have enough talent to win the SWOHSHL again for the fourth year in a row.

[asltw]

Tally is weaker than previous years... they're off of the Hoover/Dowler pedestal at least. They'll be in competition with Sycamore for the South, and CVille and Creek will compete for the North.

[sychockey33]

I can't wait till you make me eat my words braves91.
Who are you anyway? I'm guessing you're terrible... maybe third line... or JV...
I'm guessing you got offended at what I said because I insulted your precious Tally Braves hockey and that's all that you have in your life.

I feel sorry that your existence is so empty and pointless. Get me a hamburger.

[Braves91]

Just you wait sychockey33, circle your calendar for when we play you, you'll find out who I am soon enough dont you worry

[hawkman]

you should be worried though, this tally team has nothing to lose, ppl r picking them to be a middle of the road team and sycamore has the expectations, when i know there not as good as ppl say ashton is the only real player on the team. the rest is just fluff. so sycamores true colors will show soon enough.

[Myway]

tally blows. Sycamore will be much better this year.

[sychockey33]

you should be worried though, this tally team has nothing to lose, ppl r picking them to be a middle of the road team and sycamore has the expectations, when i know there not as good as ppl say ashton is the only real player on the team. the rest is just fluff. so sycamores true colors will show soon enough.
I would love for you to explain your fluff comment because I'm sitting here looking at the stat book from last year thinking to myself which kids from sycamore this year are going to be fluff? Lets start with Brandon Nazek. I see 33 goals 23 assists which brings him to 56 points. Nazek has the best stick skills on the team hands down his only downfall is he is a lil slow on his feet. Next we have Jeff Wolkoff 37 goals 30 assists which brings him to 67 points. Jeff is one of the fastest players on the team. He has a knack for always being in the right spot to either score or make a play. He may not be the most physical player on the team but he will drive into the corners and make hits. Curtis Robertson 35 goals 18 assists which gives him 53 points. Curtis is one of the most physical players on the team. He makes plays and goals when it counts and is always pumped and ready to play. His downfall is keeping calm and staying out of the box. Dan Ashton 16 goals 43 assists which gives him 59 points. Dan is the leader of the team. Hardest slap shot on the team which makes him a leathel d-man. He is also one of the fastest players on the team which makes him very capable of taking the puck up for a fast break. His downfall is he does take the puck up which inturn tends to place him out of position. So out of these players who exactly is fluff? Sycamore only lost 3 seniors this last year only one of them being major point producers that player being Tappan who had 26 goals and 34 assists. Sycamore also just picked up a foreign exchange student out of Slovakia who is going to produce big for us he just arrived in the states last week so he wasn't even around for the summer games. Im sorry but Sycamore is going to be the team to beat this year and we are not fluff.

[hockey929]

just like Moeller was the team to beat last year...where did they get?? not even to the finals of the LEAGUE tournament. So just because you are the team to beat doesn't mean you won't get beat

[sychockey33]

Im not saying we will not lose I'm just defending the fact that we are not fluff.

[hawkman]

you sycamore people aren't going to want to hear this, the reason your teams are never successful is because you all played in the CAHA system, your soft, cry-babies that are more interested in looking good than playing good. You look like "tarzan" and play like "jane". Whereas the kids who come thru Butler County and Dayton play with "heart" and "passion". Until you grasp this, you will never compete.

[hockey234]

to sycamore 33 you are curtis robertson quit posting things about yourself to make yourself look good. Sycamore and tally will both be good you make good points but you defend yourself wayy to much which makes your points not even matter. Tally is a good team their goalie coming in is weak but they still have solid players, sycamore is good too but nothing too special wait till the season to start saying s*** about each other cause over the internet doesnt mean anything.

[hockey234]

i agree

[hockey234]

haha thats a major downfall everyone knows just to make you mad so you make a dumb penalty

[Braves91]

I can see why most of these sycamores guys score a decent amount, I looked at your schedule last year and half of the teams are horrible and most of the good teams you played the scores were like 4-2, 3-2, and such. you scored 9 on badin, you scored 4 on lakota west, you scored 5 and 7 on st x. talawanda scored 12 on west and 9 and 5 on st x. so yeah great job scoring on that cant even compete at the high school level, with the exception to st x.

[sychockey33]

Ok so yes i am Curtis Robertson, but that doesn't change what i am posting. There hasn't been one post of mine that i have tried to play myself to be some sort of top shot player. I'm just stating pure facts about our program that i think most people already know and since you obviously didn't know i thought i would just throw them out to you............ Now to the CAHA post i personally cant tell you what caha is about because i never played for caha nor have i ever played for another hockey team in the state of Ohio other then NUGS and sycamore. So i really dont know what CAHA is all about but i can tell you there are players from sycamore that do play with HEART AND PASSION and i can flat out tell you most of our seniors this year have both burning inside of them. Looking back at my posts i have never really laid out my rankings of SWOHSHL yet so here they are.

North:
Beavercreek
Centerville
Troy
Alter

South
Sycamore
Talawanda
Springboro
St. X

Overall
Sycamore
Beavercreek
Centerville
Talawanda
Troy
Springboro
St. X
Alter

So I'm going to take back my post about tally not being good that really doesn't come across how i really look at it. What i see is a team that is in a rebuilding year who lost a lot of big talent from last season that is really going to impact there game. The team that i see struggling the most will be X they lost 3 out of there 4 D-men and all of there scoring. Alter has Timmy thats really it. Boro i can see giving a lot of teams some competition. Troy is about the same as they were last season. Centerville has Breslin if you would take him out of the equstion i would place centerville lower in the rankings but with him they can count on him to put the puck in the net. Creek has a strong forward core but green is there top player for sure they also have a strong goalie in Mcclure. Sycamore has 4 solid forwards with nazzy, wolkoff, vincze our slovakian exchange student extremely talented, and myself On D we have ashton, miller, and wocks and in net Graves who does tend to have is off games here and there, but other then that he is pretty solid.

If you don't agree with what I'm saying let me know state your opinion heck thats what this site is for.

[JIMBOBJOE]

braves 91 stop getting yourself worked up you need to stop crying and chatting on this website and get a life im sorry sycamore will beat you this year prob center and beaver go practice hockey then maybe you can be the all star but humphlete probably still has you beat oh yeah he is your team you have no one

[ohiohocgod]

JIMBOBJOE that was perfect Ive been following these posts and talawanda is going to suffer like no other you lose a goalie who stops practically everything and the top goal producer in both of the hoover brothers. Ive loved talawanda hockey and all of SWOHSHL for that matter its a competitive hockey league and its been impressive on what talawanda has done in past years but this will be a set back rebuilding year for them and they will have to learn how to play a new style of hockey.

1. Sycamore
2. Centerville
3. Beavercreak
4. Troy
5. Talawanda
6. St X
7. Springboro
8. Alter

It was sad to see moeller leave this league they brought extra competition and now they are just going to get smacked in Columbus.

[hawkman]

moeller is making a "lateral" move. the columbus district isn't any better than the "swoshl", they've got a few good teams(coffman,jerome,arlington) and many bad teams(worthington,st.charles......)

i hope the powers at be, never let them back into the "swoshl", it will only be a matter of time before they ask to re-join "swoshl". they will soon get tired of traveling 2+ hours for every away game.

Remind me of the last "SWOSHL" regular season or tournament title that they won. (hmm)

[ohiohocgod]

Well ok 2005 was there last SWOHSHL regular season and tournament title they also made it to the state final four that year. So that would be four years ago. You talawanda kids are really making fools of yourselves. not once was there talking like this last year and your team was 100 times better to back it up then. Now your saying things and have nothing to back it up.

The capitol hockey conferance is better then SWOHSHL hands down a lot more strong teams.

[asltw]

Reading the fluff comment...

Of course Sycamore is not composed of one kid and fluff. Not detracting from Ashton, but one person never composes a team. Sycamore, in my mind, is composed of two types of players. The first is the point producer... the guy who gets the credit. On Sycamore: Ashton, Nazek, Wolkoff, Robertson, etc. The second is the player who doesn't get credit. That's one of the biggest differences I see between Sycamore and other programs. In most programs, the drop-off is immense between the scorers and the bodies. At Sycamore, there is a great core of players who get less recognition, yet are crucial to team success through solid play. The second group is why I have Sycamore winning it this year.

More teams should represent themselves on this forum. The Tally-Sycamore game will be intense as ---- because of it.

[asltw]

Also, the capital hockey conference is not hands down better. There are strong teams and weak teams. I actually can't think of a team from up there that Sycamore doesn't have a winning or even record with over the past two years. Tally and Moeller are in the same situation, I'd imagine. Moeller lost a ton of guys... I can't figure out why they'd want to leave SWOHSHL, especially if it was to see more talent.

[hawkman]

yeah exactly, there pretty similar leagues, but last year capital only had one contending team. that was coffman. tally played a good amount of those teams and there the only ones who could play. and just look at what happened in the state tourny, barely any of the capital teams had a good showing.
and yeah, cant wait till the sycamore talawanda game.

[mynameisbob]

Yes, Sycamore and Tally will be a great game to watch. Just from the heat of the conversations that have been going on this thread alone it will be an exciting game. But realitically who do you think will win? I would like to hear from Sycamore and Tally kids. But remember... REALISTICALLY!! :)

[Braves91]

Realistically I think both games will be decided by the play of the goalies, if Graves doesn't let in some of the bad goals that he has in the past like the dump-in from the red-line in the championship game last year, i think sycamore has a good chance of winning. If Yeakle can come up big like he has against moeller, beavercreek, and bethal park, i think we have a good chance of winning. Both teams have guys who can score and have solid defense as well, so whichever goalie is hot for that game could be the deciding factor. I think Talawanda will win one 3-2 and the other game will be a tie 3-3. Thats just my opinion though. I also believe that whoever wins this series will end up winning the league this year, these we be great games to be apart of.

[ohiohocgod]

I believe sycamore will take the cake this year they just have so much tallent back from last year plus the addition of another strong player with Simon Vincez. He fills the the second center spot for the sycamore offense which leaves sycamore with 2 power forwards for each line. Tally will be at a lose without either of the hoovers and dowler so they are going to struggle with sycamore who is basically a solid senior team with a lot of talent. so i give it to sycamore 5-2 and 4-1 Graves wont get a shutout but he has been working hard this off season and he is showing promise for success this season no red line fluff goals. The other reason i say sycamore wins this match-up when tally played in the summer games they were not able to put the puck past a 5'2 goalie that doesn't have near the talent Graves has. I understand you guys were missing players but watching that game it felt that i was watching a tally team that took a huge blow from last year to this year.

[mynameisbob]

I would tend to have to agree with both of you guys. To Braves91, it could come down to goalies because if Graves has a good game he will let in anywhere from 0-2 goals which, from what it looks like, Sycamore's O can over come with at least 3 goals per game. BUT... if Graves has a bad game and lets in the weak shots then it could be difficult for Sycamore to bounce back because it must be such a momentum switch if he lets in weak goals like in the championship that you mentioned (if thats true). To HocGod, obviously Sycamore's is the favorite in the game. As long as Graves plays well sounds like Sycamore could win.

[Braves91]

Yeah ohiohocgod, I can see why you would say that Talawanda isnt gonna be good this year the way we played in the summer scrimmage will state why, but the only guys that we had on the ice were Humfleet and Marks who could score, everyone else except three other guys were freshmen, and for the first half of the game we were up 4-1 when we had Yeakle in net and he has been working his butt of to this summer, he has been able to practice with some of Miami University's players while working there hockey camp and playing Pre/Post this year will really help him out once the season starts, he wont be as good as Dowler, but he will be able to keep the games close for us and once we have our full team back, the games will be closer than you think, these are all things to consider when we actually play, could help or could hurt, we wont know till we drop the puck.

[sychockey33]

Being realistically sycamore will win em both

[Braves91]

Lets see that happen sychockey33. There is no way your winning both. I'm sorry but it's just not gonna happen I was just beingt nice when I said we would win one and tie one. but realistically Talawanda will win both games and beat you a third time in the league simifinals, and then we will win league for the forth year in a row. Even if you say we are gonna have a rough year, we have all the talent we need to win the league again, we will still be one of the top teams in the league and we will prove it again in the league tournament as our experience will come through as we have 10 guys who have won at least one championship, half that have won two, and two seniors have won three championships, so right there is all you need to know why you will not win both games i'm sorry its nothing against you, but sycamore will not win both games or three if we play in the league tournament.

[sychockey33]

I guess we will see lol. I can tell your straight forward that you are in for sad couple of games if thats what you think the outcome will be.

[TheNet]

Ahhh.. time for another great hockey season once again. I will tell you all that I am so glad that I came on here and found that the arguing has already started! I'm surprised I didn't forget my Yappi password seeing that I took a 9 month break from this wonderful website. But back to buisness...

Word on the street is the only person in the Moeller program who was interested in joining the Columbus league was Reeder. Although the two leagues were not abel to be compared a while back, the similarities between the leagues has been getting closer and closer every to the point where they are virtually the same now a days. That being said, I don't understand why Reeder would put his kids through that torture of driving 2+ hours every weekend this coming year. I hope that one day, SWOHSHL will understand that Moeller made a huge mistake when they come back pleading on their knees.

SWOHSHL... Not really a toss up at all actually, Sycamore is obviously the team to beat. With the leadership of Ashton and the skill of Robinson and Nazek, and the potential of the Slovakian exchange student, I dont see them being stopped at all in SWOHSHL or even on to the Final Four. Talawanda, I had the privilege to watch one of your summer games and those were nothing to be proud about. TALAWANDA POSTERS BEWARE, before you boast about how you guys have more heart than anyone out there please explain to me how this was instilled. I played for Bulter County back in my hay-day and it was nothing different from the CAHA house organization if we are talking about heart. If you're from the Tri-State area, the players with real heart play at Northern Kentucky. The nostalgia of playing on a rink with slanted boards, indented corners, and so much fog that you couldn't see across the neutral zone brings me back!


1. Sycamore






2. Centerville
3. Talawanda

Make good choices,
TheNet:)

[HockeyKid26]

Hooray for Butler County Alumns

[Charlie Conway 96]

Northern Kentucky for shore has the most heart! They even had to get the players to come in on Saturday mornings and help fix up the boards. God only knows how many blades I've broken trying to dig the puck out of the corner!

[hawkman]

you have a crappy rink so that means you have more heart? that doesnt mean a thing. just bc butler county/talawanda has the best rink in ohio doesnt mean were soft. were harder working that any team ive seen

[Moeman10]

hey numbnuts, he's being sarcastic :rolleyes: :wallbang:

[Charlie Conway 96]

Bahahah! Hawkman takes things so literally!Obviously what that Net means by his post is that all you guys talk about is how you have the most heart in the state so therefore you will win in the end.

[TheNet]

Hawkman you are ridiculous. Those were just the memories that I have from that place. I have actually played for CAHA, Butler County (The last good team out of there) and NKY and based on experience, there was a lot of heart in all of those teams. But the only players that I ever remember having any kind of heart were Humpfleet and and Yeakle. But regardless of who went where and all of that drama, I think that we can all agree that there is a certain equilibrium of heart in each program. You can't really sit on your computer and say that you and your team has more heart than another team because you don't really know where these other players are coming from and what they truly think and believe.

And hockeygod, please watch your spelling- you spelled talent with two "l's," like it didn't even occur to me that people would do that until i read your post

God is Good,

A lateral move? it was a easy choice to leave swoshl its not about the talent or skill level of any team there is plenty of talent in sycamore and other swoshl teams. its the fact that there is no growth in hockey in south west ohio hockey the growth in columbus is the reason we changed.

[HockeyKid26]

hooray columbus.
u18 ohio AAA BJs ranked 18th in the country currently, lookout

[slewfoot]

Judging by this weekends Nugs Tourney the exchange student from Slovakia will be the best player for Sycamore.

Congrats to Cincy Pre post for winning the tournament.!

Team Penn Station beat both Dayton midget teams, the nugs and the pre post team form Columbus.

[hockey123]

NUGS was and is by far the better team out of all the teams this weekend. cinci prepost is a good team but still not as good as NUGS. When NUGS has their full bench Cinci is nothing

[slewfoot]

who was missing for the nugs?

[sychockey33]

Lets see Wolkoff, Humes, McClure, Bottermuller, and Walker

[CreekFan]

I'll buy the first two and last two as difference makers, but that McClure kid is a total whack job, especially on the bench:Party:

[TimtheEnchanter]

C'mon CreekFan give the kid a break! Nut job maybe, but not a TOTAL WHACK job, he is a seasoned keeper - Love to watch him beat the man at the top of the crease in the back of the legs!

[Hockeyfan9]

I hope that one day, SWOHSHL will understand that Moeller made a huge mistake when they come back pleading on their knees.

That is completly false THE NET- Moeller made the switch because hockey is better in columbus.. Thier is more intrest in hockey up their than there is here in cinci. Why would we be on our knees begging to get back into the league??? SWOSHL isn't a good league.. A league is as good as the top and bottom of the league.. not just the tallys and Sycamores and X's... The other teams in the league are jokes.. This Columbus league has its share of sub par team but i can tell you that they are leaps and bounds better than the teams at the bottom of SWOSHL.. Plues they have a JV league which equals important games for those JV guys.. They need meaningful games to..

[hawkman]

so the only reason moeller left is for the jv team? because if your calling the swoshl a sub par league thats stupid, because idk when the last time moeller even won a league championship. and they can make any non-league schedule they want so the only bad games theyd have to play all year is the springboros and alters. so they just moved out of the league so there jv team could pick up a few more games.

[asltw]

Basically, I agree with hawkman. Dublin Scioto was one of the biggest jokes in the area, while Coffman was good. Clearly, there are good teams and bad teams in each league, as with any league. Case in point: the Titans are even considered an NFL team.

[asltw]

sychockey33 just wait til the season starts and you find yourself regretting that statement. Just because we lost six seniors doesnt mean we are gonna have a rough year, we are still gonna have enough talent to win the SWOHSHL again for the fourth year in a row.

I don't think he's regretting his statement...

[sychockey33]

Lets see that happen sychockey33. There is no way your winning both. I'm sorry but it's just not gonna happen I was just beingt nice when I said we would win one and tie one. but realistically Talawanda will win both games and beat you a third time in the league simifinals, and then we will win league for the forth year in a row. Even if you say we are gonna have a rough year, we have all the talent we need to win the league again, we will still be one of the top teams in the league and we will prove it again in the league tournament as our experience will come through as we have 10 guys who have won at least one championship, half that have won two, and two seniors have won three championships, so right there is all you need to know why you will not win both games i'm sorry its nothing against you, but sycamore will not win both games or three if we play in the league tournament.

I'm practically in tears from my previous comments lol

[sychockey33]

to sycamore 33 you are curtis robertson quit posting things about yourself to make yourself look good. Sycamore and tally will both be good you make good points but you defend yourself wayy to much which makes your points not even matter. Tally is a good team their goalie coming in is weak but they still have solid players, sycamore is good too but nothing too special wait till the season to start saying s*** about each other cause over the internet doesnt mean anything.

Is now an ok time to say something?

[hockey234]

Is now an ok time to say something?

haha yes it is, but i dont play for tally though, good job on raping them

[taoistlumberjak]

Whoa whoa whoa wait. The kids with heart did not play in northern Kentucky.
The kids with heart played at Hamilton.

I don't even think this can be up for discussion, as that was an outdoor rink with chain-link enclosure.

[WILDM4N]

Lakota EAst

[TheBreakAwayKid]

You have less kids but a larger roster than sycamore and still lose 9 to 1. To me this doesn't qualify as "dominating"

[aaawall91]

Represent.

[asltw]

Allan Dowler?

[hawkman]

Talawanda has done alright over the years without the numbers that some of the other schools have to pick from(moeller,st.X,centerville,sycamore). They've never had a JV team, they don't cut any players, The one thing they got going is the best rink in the mid-west. Hopefully down the road(5-6 years) the numbers will begin to grow and they can fill out a JV team and build the program. For now, it looks to be on the downward slide. However, they are capable of pulling some upsets this season, so I would not take them lightly. GO BRAVES!

[taoistlumberjak]

Represent.

That wasn't my home rink, but anyone who had that as their home rink gets my respect.

Northern Kentucky gets my vote for second.

[snipe08]

Best offensive line i would have to say its toledo central catholic line of Bain, Goldstein, and Shaffer

[hawkman]

Talawanda ties Sycamore 3-3 in MLK tournament(sycamore wins in ot shootout) real good game.

[TheBreakAwayKid]

Best offensive line i would have to say its toledo central catholic line of Bain, Goldstein, and Shaffer

is this number 8, 9 and 19? If so I would agree they have a lot of talent on that line, but are handicapped by the fact their 2nd line can't compete.

[TheBreakAwayKid]

Talawanda ties Sycamore 3-3 in MLK tournament(sycamore wins in ot shootout) real good game.

Good game indeed, Talawanda's 2nd goalie(don't know his name wears a red helmet) came up with some big stops in that game and the shootout but came up slightly short.

[hawkman]

talawanda's backup goalie is a freshmen named Andrew Sens. he has a cousin on the team.

[snipe08]

is this number 8, 9 and 19? If so I would agree they have a lot of talent on that line, but are handicapped by the fact their 2nd line can't compete.
Yes thats them

Even if you say we are gonna have a rough year, we have all the talent we need to win the league again, we will still be one of the top teams in the league and we will prove it again in the league tournament as our experience will come through as we have 10 guys who have won at least one championship, half that have won two, and two seniors have won three championships, so right there is all you need to know why you will not win both games i'm sorry its nothing against you, but sycamore will not win both games or three if we play in the league tournament.

Realistically I think both games will be decided by the play of the goalies, if Graves doesn't let in some of the bad goals that he has in the past like the dump-in from the red-line in the championship game last year, i think sycamore has a good chance of winning. If Yeakle can come up big like he has against moeller, beavercreek, and bethal park, i think we have a good chance of winning. Both teams have guys who can score and have solid defense as well, so whichever goalie is hot for that game could be the deciding factor. I think Talawanda will win one 3-2 and the other game will be a tie 3-3. Thats just my opinion though. I also believe that whoever wins this series will end up winning the league this year, these we be great games to be apart of.

you should be worried though, this tally team has nothing to lose, ppl r picking them to be a middle of the road team and sycamore has the expectations, when i know there not as good as ppl say ashton is the only real player on the team. the rest is just fluff. so sycamores true colors will show soon enough.

you sycamore people aren't going to want to hear this, the reason your teams are never successful is because you all played in the CAHA system, your soft, cry-babies that are more interested in looking good than playing good. You look like "tarzan" and play like "jane". Whereas the kids who come thru Butler County and Dayton play with "heart" and "passion". Until you grasp this, you will never compete.
