I know a kid who is a QB who will be a Freshmen next year who lives in Boardman school district, however he is going to Ursuline.
As far as money goes if you figure $2 a car times 4000 cars that is $8,000 right there if you get a good turnout.

Who is he the QB for now? I’m just wondering, because I can say I know the Boardman QB, as well as the St Christine’s/catholic schools QB, as well as the Canfield QB.

I just know he lives in Boardman school district right now and is going to attend Ursuline next year. His first name is Landon.
 
To clear up some information from this thread. Boardman wanted and completely expected to have Mooney SR. They were equally as shocked not to get it. My guess is that the state made sure a bigger division game got the biggest stadium as illogical as it is location wise. Finally the qb is Landon Duble, he was a freshman at Ursuline THIS YEAR. His dad is a U alum and with the Antram situation they decided to leave. Now can you Jabronis talk about the game at hand.

Sorry lost track of what grade he was in, my apologies.
 
Besides Lowry who are the playmaker for Canfield?. I only saw them against Chaney and can only recall Broc w/ the majority of yards.
I think everyone knows the playmakers for the Irish by now

They have a very well rounded team, and don't really have any other exceptional players. They are very team oriented and will just pass to whoever is open and share the carries between 3 or 4 HB/TBs and FBs.
Here is a list of 10 key players
#11 Danny Inglis HB/LB
#12 Broc Lowry QB/DB
#26 Joel Miasek K
#27 Dom Marzano FB/LB
#33 Scottie Eaton HB/FS
#86 Hunter Kanotz TE/DE
Anothony Mazella WR
Jace Jaffer WR
Paul Bindas QB/WR/DB
Jack Davis WR/KR/PR/DB

They are calling for a 50% chance for rain on Friday night. Canfield has a few kids out due to injury, I think Cocoa a LB for Canfield is out for the season. The key matchups will be Lowry vs the Ursuline DL and LBs, and if Ursuline has to walk up their SS/DBs to help in run defense then it will open up the passing game. Ursuline will have to look out for the play action pass, sneaking a TE in the middle of the field. Canfield will have to be careful on defense, to not have any blown coverages, to not over pursue, and to not miss tackles.

That kid was a safety and got hurt early in the WB game and was lost for the season.

That kid played in the secondary and went down early in the WB game for the year. Other than the assorted bumps and bruises accumulated over 13 weeks of play, Canfield as of right now should be at full strength Friday.

I remember seeing the play and thinking he was a LB, but they must have walked him up closer to the line for run support or in press coverage that play because it gave me the impression he was a LB not a DB, because he started about even with the other LBs that play.

Boardman refused to host Ursuline for obvious reasons whether you think it's petty or not. Same goes for Mooney..

Boardman truly is the biggest group of wusses in the tri-county area. I wish they'd grow a pair and play Ursuline so they could hang 100 on them. Taking the route of pettiness and refusal to host either team, instead of looking in the mirror, seeing a mediocre program, and focusing on themselves is why that school/program will continue to be inferior to any other program worth anything in the area.

Wow, can you tell us more how you really feel. Lol. Lots of animosity with you Ytown schools, and suburban areas.
 
You would think Boardman would cease to play everyone in the Valley for all the kids that leave that school. Every school in the valley has a complaint when a guy leaves their home district and goes elsewhere. It easier to blame the Parochial schools but as someone who has coached on the basketball side at parochial schools as well as public I watched public school coaches recruit kids at camps just as much as Catholic.

The pettiness of Boardman shouldve been extended to Harding couple years ago but they kept playing them and their best hoops players went to Harding. The standard of programs plays a huge part in where kids go and if people don't pay attention to flag football how do you think these kids meet up and parents in the first place? Its just like AAU basketball. Parents and kids talk.

I can tell you all some dirty little secrets of some of your programs that alot of the Mahoning Valley dont want to hear. :stirthepot:

I was assistant basketball coach at Warren Harding, Cardinal Mooney and some other schools. Have known some athletic directors and football coaches all over from every side. Plus I ran youth leagues all over the Valley. Knew all these kids and their parents. I could've made it alot harder on some schools if I had actively recruited like they think happens

He is a freshman there now. His dad is an Ursuline alum. His sister is a pretty good Athlete at Boardman currently. I know the family very well.
 
Hey Jabronis, ONCE AGAIN, Boardman did not turn down either team. Boardman literally hosts Mooney every other year to play them so why would they turn down hosting a playoff game with them? Quit listening to SpartanAnon spew lies when he has no idea. Boardman probably has the Chardon Kenston game because all of the sites closer to the lake are either still playing or being used orrrrr the ohsaa made a bone head decision which would be par for the course at this point.

Also hasn't Canfield refused to play the parochials for years now? Why is there literally nothing being made of that for this game?

Finally I think Canfield wins because they have kids that can tackle on defense and will stop Lynch. Ericson will have to win the game and I just don't think he can do that. Of course I don't know if this is the forum to actually talk about the game, maybe I should start a new one.

Canfield plays parochials in the regular season sometimes. They have played Lake Catholic and Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin several times each. They played Ursuline twice previously as well. And played JFK many times previously.

Ursuline continues to establish identity during postseason

YOUNGSTOWN — At first glance, the casual observer might think this year’s Ursuline team is similar to last year’s state runner-up squad. While the scores and results have been similar, this year’s group has been anything but. In addition to different players at key positions, especially...

If you are speaking of Lynn Bowden and Derek Culver, they would’ve never stayed at Boardman and it’s not because they were recruited away. I’ll just leave it at that.
 
Canfield was on Ursuline's initial schedule last season. But the Cardinals denied there was any such agreement. Not sure what that was about.
