Yes.On a side note-are all Cleveland schools back in this year?
Finneytown hasn’t been a soccer power in decadesDon't quote me here, but of the schools mentioned so far here's what I found from googling/their athletic websites --
These schools have soccer: Cincinnati Country Day, Finneytown (3-time state champ), Cory-Rawson, and Mathews (co-ed)
These schools don't: MVCA, Vanlue, Jefferson Township, Sebring, Federal Hocking
What info do you have in Finneytown? How low are their #s?Which teams on the brink might not be able to pull it together this year?
In Cincinnati,

I guess we can scratch our game one against them.Sounds like St Thomas Aquinas might try to play 8 man. Not sure if they've even hire a coach.
Are they seriously on the fence again? They pushed to have everyone in the league schedule them...they can be shown the door if they pull this again!Sandusky St Mary in the SBC River Division...

Talked to the AD on the sideline of their game against Stryker. They were very adamant in trying to get back to 11 man. 8-man was just a stopgap to that objective. My guess is they're trying to move back when as a private school, with Covid happening and crunching a lot of families' available finances, nows not the time to be worried about sticking to 11 man. Might want to make sure you just have a school this fall with enough kids paying tuition.Must be too proud to admit they are an 8 man destined program

I agree. Should be a 2 year cycle and proof of success at 8man with adequate numbers to come back up.SMCC has hampered the league before by their indecision and stubbornness. Allowing them to try and comeback after one year, especially after the lack of success in 8-man, was a monster mistake by the school and the league.
So what exactly are the 10 opponents supposed to do? It’s impossible to get games of decency that late, especially weeks 4-10I disagree... should not be a 2 year cycle. Numbers can change dramatically from year to year.
But teams should have to declare by June 16 and schedules finalized by July 1.
I just think teams make their schedules too early, before they know if they will have enough players.So what exactly are the 10 opponents supposed to do? It’s impossible to get games of decency that late, especially weeks 4-10

By June 16, teams should know if they can play 11-man, 8-man, or tell players to go play elsewhere. Less of a chance for teams to be scrambling to find opponents in September.
In a perfect world, scheduling in April for football in August did work.There isn't a chance something like that works. Not to mention, that would mean AD's and staff working in the summer to try and arrange something. You schedule teams in advance for a reason.

But since concussion fear, everyone expecting immediate gratification, covid, more fall sports, softer parents and kids, and the 2020 election, football must be treated like a fragile person on life support; meaning, AD’s, and everyone else are gonna have to do a little more.

This^^ You could turn 4 Catholic schools into 1 high school. "Firelands Central Catholic"I'd say the writing is on the wall for the entire school. Too many private options in a small area there.
I think that seals the deal for Sandusky St Mary CC rejoining the SBC river. Time to join the Northern 8 and hope the conference dont boot them entirely.
