Cusick is a good coach, but with just 2-3 returning starters, I don't see them hanging in the games again Labrae and Garfield. If stadiums are allowed to work at full capacity, that Labrae-Garfield game will be an absolute warAnother d1 kid from Labrae... crazy. Can't wait to watch Labrae vs Garfield and Crestview
Crestview lost quite literally everyone but I think 1 starter after 2018 and had 0 seniors in 2019 and managed to finish the year 5-5 with all 5 losses to playoff teams.
Almost 70!Having good players is always important, but a stable coaching staff and a system that is run to the younger levels can win you 3-4 games a year. Look at C-View, Range, and McDonald. Arguably the 3 most successful small public school programs in our area over the last 15 years or so (Western Reserve too up until the fiasco with the HC). The 1 thing they have in common is a stable coaching staff. Those 3 coaches probably have over 60 years combined at their respective schools!
Agree with you. They have been great at keeping that thing going forward and they seem to be appreciated by the school and community too. I have heard they have some changes on staff, any truth to that information? I can’t see them not winning at least 5 games but they will be a much different team this year. Out of conference could be tough depending on what southern and United have coming back, but league should be manageable outside of Garfield.Having good players is always important, but a stable coaching staff and a system that is run to the younger levels can win you 3-4 games a year.

so crestview doesnt have many starters coming back but Garfield and Labrae have a lot coming back then? Those coaches at Garfield and Labrae have been there for a little while now too right? Remember that epic game they played in Niles?
I think they will be young, but have a lot of experience coming back as well. So that is a great question. Schedule is tough.How is WR looking this upcoming season? Im locking forward to our game.
This year no idea, but the last few years they’ve been mid 50sWhat are the total number of players playing football at Springfield this year from grades 9-12 ?
Went to the Reserve meet the team. Numbers seem down. How is the rest of the league shaping up this summer?This year no idea, but the last few years they’ve been mid 50s
Number wise not sure, haven't heard or seen much. From what I heard McDonald is where they've been in the 30s the last 5 or so years. Reserve has had some huge rosters the last few years so a drop off really just would put them in line with the rest of the school's their size.Went to the Reserve meet the team. Numbers seem down.

Yes agree. Went and watched Reserve and Salem last night. The Altiere kid is special. The rest of the team has some ways to go, but Salem had no answer for that kid. He only had a couple touches and was half way to the century mark it felt like.Number wise not sure, haven't heard or seen much.

Today’s WFMJ previews can kind of answer this and both would be positive.Went to the Reserve meet the team. Numbers seem down. How is the rest of the league shaping up this summer?
Yeah what the hell has gone on at Ridge??? They used to be really solid (at worst) and now they have trouble going 5-5 it seems. Are they losing kids to Fitch?I hear that Springfield has 60+ out. Going to two state championships in a row builds enthusiasm. They should return to mere mortal status after this year, hopefully. As long as they have Brungard they will be the team to beat in their tier. Ridge may be a team to watch the next few years.
Ridge now is better than they were, and last year was their best team in probably 10 years. But they actually were buoyed significantly by transfers, their best player Perkins came over from Fitch plus they had a WR from Niles and another LB/TE from Fitch. All 3 have graduated now.Yeah what the hell has gone on at Ridge??? They used to be really solid (at worst) and now they have trouble going 5-5 it seems. Are they losing kids to Fitch?
I remember they had a D1 running back in 2011 and 12 that came from Austintown. He left Ridge his senior year for Glenville, and ended up as the starting RB for Indiana a few years later. I can't remember his name though.Ridge now is better than they were, and last year was their best team in probably 10 years.
