I won’t deny he was very successful for a good portion of his original tenure, but it’s not like he handed over a program that was in great shape to his successor. Like it or not he was partly to blame for the programs descent. Hopefully he revised some of what he was doing.
You know what would make Green's front seven better if they participated in wrestling during the winter season.
I agree that Hoover D-Line and O-Line are solid. The big D end is number four (Logan). It will take a couple of games for the offensive skill players to sync up with the QB. Hoover's first game will be a challenge Cleveland Heights has a talented team. The FED is likely to be more balanced this year with new coaches and teams with younger players I believe Green, MCK, and Perry will be the teams to beat, and I see Hoover as the sleeper team. I believe that the Hoover game against Louisville will be a classic like in the past.
Thx Big Ed !
Is it safe to assume you have Perry beating McK?
That would be my guess.
i.e. get the recruiting machine going again.
Why because they won a non league game against an inferior opponent? Don't forget that Green started 4-0 last season then fell flat against their playoff opponent, Lake, Jackson and Hoover finishing 4-4. Greens non con schedule is a bit different than the Federal League.
I mean it could be Lake. But that’s not why I said green could win the FLC. They return a ton of guys from last years squad including their QB. Mix that with a somewhat down year in the FL it could happen. Not saying it will, but this would be the year for them. Lake is very young. Talented but young. The fed is wide open this year.
Heck yeah Big Ed! They should have been running laps after the game! Division 2 Perry looses to Division 5 Canton Central Catholic! No disrespect to CC, cause those kids fight hard all game long but G.D. shame, shame Perry! I've been running my mouth at work that this game needs to end, not fair that Perry has the advantage and BAM! Smacked upside the head!
This is a huge rivalry game and not the first time or last time Perry loses to Central. Out of the 24 games these two teams have played, Central has now won 9 of them. When the Panthers went to the D-2 State title game in 2016, they lost to Central 19-15. There is no shame in losing to the Crusaders. On paper D-2 Perry shouldn’t lose to D-5 Central, but the games aren’t played on paper. You have to execute on offense, not make turnovers, blow coverages, miss tackles and take advantage of every scoring opportunity. When you don’t do these things against good teams you are more likely to lose than win. There is little doubt in my mind this is the best Central team since 2016.
Green does not have the depth yet and while you want to point out last years playoff loss they just didn't have a backup QB (depth) and the QB they lost to injury might be the best one in the FL this year. Green has 5 pretty good receivers back and probably the best QB receiver duo returned. What does Lake have that you see?
That wasn’t the varsity squad. It was the freshman squad running in full pads on Saturday.
Isn’t Central D6 now?
