GO only beat Fitch by 1 at home earlier this year. They should beat Fitch, but I don’t know about it being an easy game.

Boardman is down this year. Pretty young team.

Best of luck to him. It just seems like a waste having 2 Ytown teams though. In both hoops and football it’s always 1 team is good and the other is awful. Not sure if that’s due to stacking 1 team or what’s going on. It’s just odd that there’s always such disparity between the 2 teams.

I’ve heard the same on East situation. Boardman does not have them on the schedule this upcoming year either after playing them for several years. I know Simkon will say Canfield can’t compete on a regular basis/long-run in a conference w/ Boardman, Fitch and Harding, but I think they can...

South range just seems to be on another level than rest of D5 this year. Raiders by 14+

Key is stopping Lowry. He’s a 1-man offensive show. Easier said than done as you can’t just key on stopping his running as he’s a good thrower and makes as many plays on broken pass plays as designed runs. He’s different than most good running QBs (like Holy Name’s last night) who average or...

Surprised SR doesn’t have a solid crowd even with weather. Mooney doesn’t surprise me much. Even in good weather it’s not a big following nowadays.

Erickson at least gives them the ability to throw it. Ursuline is losing the up front battle so going heavier focus on run w/ Ferrell doesn’t seem like the answer. Ursuline is lucky to only be down 15

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.

There would be lucky to 4,500-5,000 fans let alone that many cars. 1,500 cars maybe in that case = $3k. Crowds just aren’t what they were. Boardman has hosted several good playoff matchups since the new stadium opened and I’ve never seen it even 75% full which for a 7,500 seat stadium is...

If all your worried about is football, maybe that’s the case. 99% of parents and kids aren’t selecting a school based on recent football success though. Boardman’s equal or better in just about every other sport currently and historically, arts aren’t even debatable, and academics are better...

I’d have to assume Mooney-SR will be at Boardman. It’s literally in-between the 2 schools. And both districts have several students from Boardman township. Ursuline-Canfield would’ve been perfect at Fitch, but I assume they are out with home side being demo’d soon. So Niles it likely is. Good...

Really since the early to mid 90’s it’s been what you described. Either Boardman or Fitch is really good and the other is average or below. Also agreed on commitment to program. Fitch (Austintown school district) has gone all-in on athletic spending the past 5 or so years (whether you agree...

Agreed. No one draws like that now and never will. Those days are long gone between reduced enrollment #s and also availability of online viewing (even as bad as YSN video is). Apologize if my comments were a shot at Fitch’s suppport. I just took offense to others saying Boardman fans weren’t...

I’m standing up for our fans, not caring about wins or losses (that frankly neither you or I have any impact on) in my response. Boardman shows up to support our kids just like you personally do, win or lose. We haven’t given up on our kids, so you don’t have to feel sad for our boys...

I didn’t intend it for all Fitch posters or the fan base. I have a lot of Fitch friends/family. There were criticisms of our fan support (I guess because people don’t actively post on a message board?). Just saying - the same could be said for your fans, if that’s what we are basing things on...

He’s not N even a Boardman fan so why are you rubbing on the loss? I stayed out game week because it was just Fitch fans patting their backs about how great they are and taking shots at Boardman on support. Yet you couldn’t even fill half your home side last night for your big rival, with a...

Agreed. Boardman ran the ball well all night vs Harding, but tried to get too cute a few times instead of just keep pounding it and it cost them the game. To Harding’s credit they didn’t fall for those plays and threw Boardman for a big loss, which tended to derail a good drive where they were...

I’d hope it’s a lot closer than that. I think Boardman’s as good or better than teams like Allderdice, Lake Catholic and Indian Valley who all lost closer games to Dover. I wouldn’t totally discredit Harding either. They’ve by far played the area’s best schedule and hung in there with some...

Boardman coming off a tough 3 pt loss to Harding in a game they really let slip away at the end. Boardman is playing pretty well now that they are healthier with their top back (Ortiz) and top WR has been playing the past few games (Robinson). Also they got back their kicker last week who is at...
