    2024 Lakota West Firebirds

    Maybe I need to emphasize my previous point more. Columbus HAS NO private school powers. There’s no private schools poaching their homegrown talent. They don’t have to compete with the different levels of resources and endowments that those private schools have. There’s only been 2 teams in the...

    How many private schools did Liberty have to play this season? Their region isn’t loaded with a conference of them. There is no Catholic school perennial power in the Columbus region.

    2024 Lakota West Firebirds

    West ran a 3-3-5 in 2022. The year they beat the defending Bombers team 12-2 before losing to Moeller. West can run those “sophisticated” schemes. It’s about matching your playbook with personnel. If you think Sam Wiles had the arm capacity, or the OL had the talent to sit there and run...

    I partially agree with this statement. But I can’t pretend to not see Lakota West do the same thing on the DEFENSIVE side of the ball. Helps when you have two coordinators of course. But if you pay attention to the LW sidelines they have the iPads out, they have the tent with the TV out. They’re...

    Congrats. Noticed that last year we had 5 D1 early-signees and another 2 in the Spring. This will likely be the only D1 players we put out in this class. So a pretty big drop off. However, you have two 4 stars in this class, so maybe quality over quantity. Also nice to see Luka and Grant...

    Bolden should just copy the Georgia Tech offense haha.

    I agree with this. That penalty in the X game made that last second field goal a lot longer than it had to be. But I don’t know if less penalties is what wins them a state title.

    What more can he demand from his players? The kids and parents have completely bought in. He just needs to piece together a competent offense against GCL-S teams. Maybe if he could find a staff on offense like he did on the defensive side of things, they’d manage to contend. Bolden is the most...

    I don’t think so. Smith has became a very polished scrambler actually. Not as electric as Wiles obviously, but it’s definitely going to be a good part of his game next year.

    Inconsistency was the story of the Front 7 all year. Elite one week, mediocre the next. That’s not a shot at the staff, I thought that core would be very mediocre, specifically the DL after losing 3 seniors. They developed them very well. This might be the first season in 6-7 years that West...

    Just disappointing. Obviously this wasn’t the team Bolden was going to win the state championship with, but it was disappointing to regress.

    GAMEDAY! I’m super excited for this one. X vs West/Colerain are always ones to remember. Bolden and Specht know each other like the back of their hands it should be a great one.

    Guys like you are the reason Olympiums doesn’t do the weekly recaps anymore haha

    We’ll learn a lot about the resilience of not just this team, but Bolden. I think he’s tasked offensively with matching what the offense did in Week 1, that’ll be enough. We’re at the point in the season where it doesn’t matter how good it looks, what matters is you get the win.

    They’ll win this one comfortably. At least by two scores.

    2024 Lakota West Firebirds

    Looked a little sloppy at times but I’m sure because of the opponent there wasn’t as high of an emphasis on execution. They’re gonna need to tune it in from now on

    I was hoping to see a whole lot more of Jackson. Looks like we’ll have to wait another 10 months.

    Colerain Going Forward

    This is the best option.

    Say what you want about Bolden as a coach, but that man has a love and admiration for the game.

    Hearing Moeller will rest Pontatoski this week. Think Bolden takes a similar approach?
