The teams in bold caught my eye, but there should be some others that compete for the 8 playoff spots

gonna be a fun year in R13!

Why is stuby here?? Crazy

Great question.

They've almost always been left to their personal sandbox to the south. Most years you could go ahead and pencil them into the final 4 because that region was so bad.

I'd be willing to bet that after a year they get reassigned to another region again.

For this one year, it sure will be a lot of fun though. For all of you pissing and moaning about Mooney and Ursuline, the master scheduler and recruiter has arrived.

They better not stay here for long. It makes no sense geographically speaking.
OHSAA comes through again. Haaaaaaa

It happens. Back in 2011 and 2012 Mooney and poland were pushed south in with Steuby.

teams like have routinely moved back and forth between the 2 regions.

Can't wait for a Mooney Big Red matchup. Those are classic battles.

Hope it's In The first rd

From the looks of it that's most likely the regional final

Could be. But also could be in the first -second rd.

Plus is mooney going to be that good this year?

Not sure. Maybe some of the mooney crew could chime in on what they look like this year. They are always good, it's just a matter of how good. It appears to be a 3 or 4 horse race: big red, mooney, perry, possibly Ursuline if they get things together.

I see Woodridge is gone too.

Mooney has most of their linemen and the QB back.

Beyond that they will rely on a ton of new faces this year.

Despite a more competitive region, I expect Big Red to probably win this one.

It won't be the cake walk they have had in the past though.

4 of the 8 playoff teams are gone.... Woodridge, NDCL, Holy Name and Crestwood.

I like this region better from a competitive stand point. I have to wonder if struthers and Steubenville will continue to scrimmage with this though.

I'm sure Reno won't mind.

He's only used the whole region/division excuse to not play Mooney.

He doesn't mind scheduling Ursuline.

And, no offense, I don't think he's ducking Struthers.

Question though, is that scrimmage usually down on the river or in Struthers?

Kuntz prefers to scrimmage away

Or Reno prefers they come down there.... tomato tomato.... potato potato

No... like every scrimmage he's ever had has been away. He had like one at home.

why? save the field perhaps?

and maybe he seeks out those that won't scrimmage on the road?

In that case, he's the perfect foil for Reno. Steuby probably gives them a few bucks.

My take.
More exposure on the road is a good thing.
Especially a place like Harding Stadium.
Nice scrimmaging a team that almost always goes far in the playoffs.
I imagine they're well treated in Steubenville.

Streetsboro is in our region. Wish we actually played them regular season.

Yeah, I would imagine they do. Steubenville tries to charge people to get into the scrimmage. By the end of my time near those people I would pay to leave if I had to.

Idk why he does it to be honest. The field is good come week ten usually because the grounds crew works hard all year. They even go as far as limiting games from the little leagues on it.

Either way I hope at least 5 local teams make the playoffs from this region.

You'll probably get 4-5 Youngstown area teams

Mooney, Ursuline, Hubbard and Struthers should all have a solid shot.
Lakeview could also make some noise.

Salem/Girard are sleepers and could surprise people, especially Salem.

Region is definitely a meat grinder now that Big Red was added.

Girard has zero chance at making the playoffs. Zero.

That bad, huh?:D

Honestly thought girard would be decent

I'd say one of the Catholics, not both

Maybe you're right.
Mooney appears to have a slightly more manageable schedule.

Ursuline's looks like suicide:

2017 Schedule
8/25 H Cleveland Benedictine
9/1 N Unknown Opponent (Ytown East again?)
9/8 H Akron Archbishop Hoban
9/15 A Massillon Washington
9/22 A Warren G Harding
9/29 N Unknown Opponent (RICC again?)
10/6 A Steubenville
10/14 H Boardman
10/20 A Youngstown Cardinal Mooney
10/27 A Akron St. Vincent-St Mary


Looks like even 4 wins might be a challenge.

:help:

This year they can beat
Benedictine
East
Harding?
Boardman
Mooney
-unknown opponent

Could be a playoff team in theory.
