Northern Buckeye Conference 2018 - Yappi Sports

Buckeye91 · #1 03-21-18, 03:46 PM

With Eastwood losing a ton to graduation league may very well come down to Otsego/Genoa in 2018? I see it as a three horse race. Any surprises?

cometrules · #2 03-22-18, 11:27 PM

Otsego got a good QB but Genoa will win in 2018.

1. Genoa - Best around team
2. Otsego - Good QB but lost receivers
3. Lake - Always competive
4. Eastwood - Only have running if he stays, no lineman
5. Rossford - Always decent
6. Woodmore - Getting better
7. Fostoria - Still bad
8. Elmwood - Always bad and weak

One day I will catch a game from this league.
Either Lake or Genoa.

Does anyone know who Otsego is playing Week 1? I am assuming it's home against Evergreen, but have not seen anything official.

I think Eastwood will be alright. Likely not 60 seconds away from a state championship good again, but will be solid and compete in the NBC.

Their top 2 running backs are back, one of which is the best in NW Ohio and possibly the state. Only return 1 starting lineman, but they had another kid who had to fill in and basically play the whole state championship game when a starter went out early with a knee injury. Also bring back a tight end who saw some quality time.

Defensively is where they will be hurting the most IMO. Only bring back a linebacker and a defensive back. They have to replace some studs.

Will Plantz play football this year?

My nephew is rb starter at woodmore.im a Trac guy and much respect to Eastwood. I would love to see Eastwood/Genoa schedule a Trac school in 1 st scrimmage like Fremont ross / findlay/ oregon clay / st Francis. If You ever want to know how ur lines are play them in 1st scrimmage. Eastwood should there' huge lines.

I've seen Eastwood scrimmage Clyde. Eastwood hangs with them for a couple of series and then just gets wore down and looks mediocre. I cannot imagine why Eastwood would want to scrimmage a TRAC school, or even more, why the TRAC would schedule down like that.

North LS · #9 04-09-18, 07:28 PM

First scrimmages I'm okay with.2 nd and preview no.Ross scrimmages bowsher (1) Sylvania northview (2) and sandusky Perkins for preview! Ross schedules Perkins yearly .

If you're talking about when the JV's get in the scrimmage, possibly. But Eastwood has always played Clyde tough -- sometimes the other way around, wearing Clyde down.

Eastwood played Clyde non-conference from '05-'15. Eastwood won a handful of those. The games were always typically within a touchdown one way or another.

Also, the past 2 years they've scrimmaged which Eastwood won the varsity portion of.

Eastwoods program could handle trac lines .Only Nbc school ,Plus Eastwood butts up against Perrysburg line too.Eastwood has always played Clyde tough!

Inexplicably, I forgot about that, but I think Clyde won most of those games and it was Eastwood that chose to end the series.

In any case, my original post was a response to the idea that Eastwood would do well in a scrimmage with Findlay or Ross. Eastwood already has a tough enough scrimmage with Clyde. That's a good enough test.

Not even close.

Incorrect, again. Clyde dropped Eastwood to add Ashland. It worked out okay for Eastwood as they were able to add Bowling Green (another D3 school).

NLLBEST · #15 04-11-18, 07:42 PM

Eastwood is also in a yearly series with Maumee right now too. I think they have a very well set up nonconference schedule to challenge themselves while also picking up first level points when they win. While it gives both Maumee and BG the opportunity to play a tough but reasonable opponent that could give them big level 2 points before conference play.

Any thoughts on whether or not Elmwood will improve a lot in year two under a new staff? Will Genoa’s qb be healthy? If so I’d say they’re the slight favorite. Interesting that the top 5 teams in the league have such varying styles of play when you look at Lake, Rossford and Otsego compared to Eastwood and Genoa.

2.5 months until the start of football. It'll get here quick.

Buckeye91 · #17 06-20-18, 03:24 PM

Any word if the Eastwood RB is returning this year? I heard he may be transferring to Whitmer or Findlay.

At Eastwood. Attending all the summer workouts. Still getting all the D1 looks (soon to be offers if not already) and coaches visiting - he isn't leaving.

cometrules · #19 07-28-18, 10:24 PM

Rayford may wish he left, I heard the one returning lineman Eastwood has back isn't coming out due to knee problems and doesn't want to mess up being two time state champ is track. Good luck finding 6 lineman for your wing t offense.

Buckeye91 · #20 07-30-18, 02:04 PM

Eastwood will still be very competitive. I would not count them out to win the league because of Rayford and coaching staff. I still see it as a 3 team race with Otsrgo, Genoa and Eastwood.

cometrules · #21 08-08-18, 04:21 PM

How is everyones numbers? Genoa isn't going to have JV team, but will have a freshman team that is what I have hear. I was told that Rossford and Eastwood will be the only Freshman teams.

North LS · #22 08-08-18, 09:16 PM

Who does woodmore scrimmage?

Rossford will have a JV team and no frosh team.

ILikeSports · #24 08-22-18, 08:16 PM

Any thoughts with games only 2 days away?

single wing · #25 09-08-18, 06:48 AM

Genoa 3-0
Eastwood 2-1
Lake 2-1
Otsego 2-1
Fostoria 1-2
Rossford 0-3
Woodmore 0-3
Elmwood 0-3

No real surprises so far. Genoa is solid, but they will get a great test this week with Lake - especially with the Flyers coming off a close loss to Archbold.

Surprised at the beating Otsego took last night from Bowling Green. Also a little concerned/surprised with Rossford's 0-3 start. Do they practice defense? Giving up 43ppg so far.

Eastwood seems to have things rolling again. Fostoria got a W last night.

Elmwood and Woodmore...good luck.

Hback · #26 09-08-18, 08:10 PM

Big game this week between Lake/Genoa. We will see if Genoa is back. Hoping for another Genoa/Eastwood clash later in the year.

cometrules · #27 09-08-18, 10:10 PM

After 3 games I feel Genoa may be better then Eastwood was a year ago. We may make it to the finals. Eastwood new young players seem to be getting better and I think Otsego will be ok. Should be fun games.

Oh my!! Lol...

single wing · #29 09-13-18, 11:51 AM

This week:
Eastwood vs Elmwood
Lake vs Genoa
Woodmore vs Rossford
Fostoria vs Otsego

Eastwood, Rossford, and Otsego will roll with easy victories. Genoa finally gets tested by still wins by 2 touchdowns.

Sorry, Genoa is nowhere close to Eastwood from last year. Congrats to them on the win, but without all the turnovers (which they caused), Lake wins by 2 touchdowns. 4th quarter completely belonged to Lake, Genoa was worn out. It will be interesting to see how they both do against Eastwood and Otsego.
