I'd argue that Lake fits just perfect in the NBC. Genoa, Lake, Eastwood, Otsego, Rossford are about as close as you can get in terms of similarity, size, demographics, IMO.Reasonably situated along 23, but why not Lake also?
Rossford - 432I'd argue that Lake fits just perfect in the NBC. Genoa, Lake, Eastwood, Otsego, Rossford are about as close as you can get in terms of similarity, size, demographics, IMO.
If anything, Northwood should be joining back up to the NBC (Old SLL). They are DIV now and have a steady influx of E. Toledo kids. They would never have to worry about missing the playoffs again.

Elmwood - 279
Lakota - 278
Northwood - 257
Woodmore - 250
Ottawa Hills - 228
Hopewell Loudon - 209
Gibsonburg - 199
Cardinal Stritch - 136
Calvert - 87
I'd forget the two little parochial schools and talk to Margaretta at 254, or maybe they have and the thinking is a 10 team league.
Rossford - 432
Fostoria - 398
Eastwood 362
Lake - 361
Otsego - 358
Genoa - 342
Northwood - 257. Doesn't seem like a good fit, and they are D5.
Elmwood, Woodmore, Northwood to SBC River. Solidifies River.
NBC will then target Oak Harbor and Maumee. Maumee would obviously be all over that but Oak Harbor will have tough decision to make. If that fails, Genoa, Eastwood and Lake will have an invite from SBC Bay on the table. Possibly Rossford as well.
Should be another round of fun to watch unfold.
Further than even the TRAC schools. I'd wondered about travel after the original post, that's a lot of travel along 23 for those small schools, in every sport.I don't think if it happens that Edison would accept eastwood,genoa and lake.too much distance plus eastwood would kill us in sports
no way that will happen.
Sure, that makes sense.Let the NBC fall apart and disperse. Northwood to the NBC
Otsego to the NWOAL would be great, Bryan is in the right spot, WBL is the only league that they could consider. If Patrick Henry continues trending downward and the BVC loses any schools they could consider the switch.I would like to see Otsego in the NWOAL. Let the NBC fall apart and disperse. Bryan to another league. Northwood to the NBC

Stritch seems to be taking an enrollment approach that will hold them steady, as far as available athletes. Calvert's situation, I don't know but why take in a team that small when 8-man is gaining momentum and you might lose them?

Most of these conversations are just wild speculation. Most that post only think about one sport. Not all sports.There are some that put some deep thought into these sort of things and others that just pick their local favorite and say "I'd like to see school X in this league."
So much goes into this, so many aspects need considered, and it has to make sense for everyone.

Not sure the BVC wants to fill that spot as based on how few 9th and 10th graders Vanlue had playing football I would guess next year will finally be the last year they field a 11 man football team.The BVC has an opening right now (they never filled the H-L spot)
