The Dock and myself are making a road trip!
My daughter and I are too. I posted instructions for tickets, parking and entrance to stadium on I was a Bishop Hartley Hawk Facebook page and also in this thread.The Dock and myself are making a road trip!
As today’s youth would say: “Good looks.”1. Parking: M70 Parking Lot is located on 5th Ave. across from the stadium. It is in between McDonalds and Taco Bell. That is the best bet for parking. $5.00
2. Tickets: ursuline.com/tickets - you may print the ticket or have the ticket on your smartphone. Enter the stadium on 5th avenue. Visiting fans sit in sections 5-7.
3. Admission Cost: 7.00 plus CC transaction fee.
4. Restrictions: No umbrellas. No glass bottles.
If you haven’t been to YSU STADIUM in a couple years , Youngstown state and the city (I assume) did a really nice job on the fifth ave remodel. Someone may have mentioned this on the thread but was downtown yesterday and looks really nice.
105 on the roster.VASJ was Division VI in the final year of the 6-division alignment (2012) and was playing Portsmouth Notre Dame (the 3rd-smallest 11-man football school in Ohio then) in non-league play. They're now Division IV, in the current 7-division alignment with a significantly bolstered roster #'s wise.
At an early spring lacrosse game in 2009, I asked Hartley's running backs/defensive backs coach what he thought about the possibility of St Pius 8th grader Godwin Igwebuike coming to Hartley. His answer was, Who? If we do recruiting, we suck mightily.Do the public schools around Columbus accuse Hartley, Watterson, St. Charles, etc. of recruiting like they do Cardinal Mooney & Ursuline? Do you hear that line like we do? (Of historical note Ursuline liked going to Massillon back in the '70s because the gate alone would help pay for spring sports. But Massillon ditched us once we started to beat them.)
Not his first year back no.From someone who has zero ties to either school…
I go with Hartley
Both schools and fan bases are not afraid to play good teams.
There will be no intimidation factors in this game.
I think this game barring any illnesses will come down to strength and conditioning and familiarity with the system the kids have and relationships with coaches.
While Ursuline has talent and coaching it’s game 1.
I just think Hartley will wear down Ursuline in the 2nd half.
I think I read Ursuline has it old coach back but if it’s his first year. Might be a bit to much week 1 even if playing at Youngstown .
It really depends on how hard the Ursuline kids worked off season. Hartley isn’t a team you just beat with talent alone.
Now if this game was week 10 … imho it would be a coin toss.

They've got a good shot at making the playoffs.Come on, Hartley folks, what’s the 411 on the Hawks?
Oh ok then it’s a coin toss.Not his first year back no.
Catholic Times had a good preview. Only time I ever read it, that sweet sweet mid-August issue.They've got a good shot at making the playoffs.
Ive never thought that Hartley recruits very much (if any). All of their talent comes from the private schools around Hartley. They very rarely get studs from public schools around the area.At an early spring lacrosse game in 2009, I asked Hartley's running backs/defensive backs coach what he thought about the possibility of St Pius 8th grader Godwin Igwebuike coming to Hartley.

Hartley really does well with "building a wall" around the four major Catholic parish grade schools it depends on, the two smaller Catholic K-8s in the general area (Holy Spirit and St. Mary in German Village) that are probably good for 15-20 students a class and getting the handful of kids in Columbus that don't find nearby private schools attractive (St Charles -- too expensive and other things; Madison Christian -- really low profile and no football; Harvest Prep -- having an opinion toward WHC.) The recently-retired Mike Winters was unquestionably one of the most talented, competent and diligent Catholic high school administrators in Diocesan memory, and he played a massive hand in not only keeping Hartley proud but also thriving.Ive never thought that Hartley recruits very much (if any).

Just to weighin on this, but getting one kid to enroll at Hartley in the early 90’s is not what I wouldYou didn’t follow high school basketball in the early 90’s then did you?
Google the Ursuline preview and it should come up about the players.Just to weighin on this, but getting one kid to enroll at Hartley in the early 90’s is not what I would
consider a recruiting powerhouse. Weaver was a great basketball player but he was a very selfish player that never led the team to a state championship. Furthermore he got suspended from the team and asked to be reinstated, the coach asked the team and they didn’t want him back. So he ended up going to Independence and playing with Kenny Gregory. So let’s get back to talking tonight’s football game. Thanks for the post on the Hawks players, I was hoping to get info on the Irish to see how these kids are going to match up. Either way it sounds like it’s going to be a hell of a game. As always GO HAWKS!!
That’s all good but I was hoping that people from ytown would give us some enlightening perspective on the Irish to create a discussion on the game rather than the same old recruiting dribble that is associated with the Catholic teams. Beating that dead horse to dust is never going to change people’s opinion. Talk about the game and the kids playing the game. I’ll step off my soapbox now.Google the Ursuline preview and it should come up about the players.
Well that explains why that coach was let go after the 2009 season. ?At an early spring lacrosse game in 2009, I asked Hartley's running backs/defensive backs coach what he thought about the possibility of St Pius 8th grader Godwin Igwebuike coming to Hartley.

Hartley posted on Twitter that it would be on ysnlive.comIs the game tonight on TV or Radio?
North got to him pretty early, despite him living in Jefferson Woods. Only 3 kids from that class attended Hartley and played there IIRC. But the three they got (Bus, Big Schaeff and Moose Matuska) were pretty solid. Loaded football class of 13 players (one NFL and one Notre Dame, with a bunch of other dawgs) that split 4-ways after 8th grade.At an early spring lacrosse game in 2009, I asked Hartley's running backs/defensive backs coach what he thought about the possibility of St Pius 8th grader Godwin Igwebuike coming to Hartley.
