Recent and future facility additions and improvements will put them out of the PAC eventually as some have speculated and within 10 years would not be surprised to see them closer to d 2. They are definitely wanting to be in the same conversation with other Summit privates in the future. Will...

We’ll certainly find out. Many good programs in this region for sure.

Have not started yet. Not sure why not.

Peninsula Woodridge returns at least 8 starters back from both sides of the ball this coming year including their entire backfield offensively and defensively. A playoff team from a year ago. Will find out early with games against West Branch, CVCA and Revere in the first 3 weeks. Should be a...

What are some other non-league match ups in weeks 1-3?

The Woodridge Bulldogs will have new state of the art field turf installed this summer along with a new video scoreboard and all weather track. This will be the fifth team in the Metro Athletic Conference to have turf.

Canton South makes a good league really good now. Great addition. Manchester with 70 kids is great to see. Fairless coming off a good year. Hearing that CVCA may have lost their QB from last who started a number games as he is returning to Stow. Still expect the Royals to be formidable with...

Which really never pleased grads from either school. Always thought they could have brought the name Presidents back rather than appease both sides, but that's well in the past.

The Super did hire Phillips. The committee wanted a Kent State assistant at the time, an assistant under former coach Paul Haynes. Poder was never in the final conversation.

You are spot on with your observation about the QB and head coach. There was a disconnect there. In fact, there were many “disconnects” inside and just outside the program. There still are. Hopefully the new coach can eliminate some of these.

Except that Tom Phillips really did not teach. This, in part, was why they had issues bringing who they wanted in. Many already in the district wanted the “position” the administration created which now is just an “aide” position. I believe it will be official tonight.

One of the most liked and successful coaches in the area. He had some good teams, a really good coach and great guy. His unbalanced offense was really difficult to prepare for.

Accurate to say that the committee chosen to select a head coach and the superintendent were not on the same page. This is why Tom Phillips was hired and it’s why the situation played out the way it did this time. That being said, they are probably fortunate that a qualified candidate...

Seems like from that statement that it is the Brecksville coach.

Not Gotto nor will it be Pete Thompson. As mentioned on here by several, Fairless and Southeast coaches emerged as finalists along with another coach mentioned on here, a former OC at Stow. Unfortunately, Union contracts and a potential teaching position have now complicated things. Should be...

By that rationale Jim Tressel should have never been hired at Ohio State. If you are a good coach I think that translates whether you at Fairless or Stow. You at the mercy, to a degree, to the available talent you have to work. The next year or two at Stow will see a decline in overall talent...

Fairless coach Barberton coach and the Streetsboro coach were finalists. Southeast coach is a name I haven’t heard. There wasn’t much classroom time the previous head coach had if any. The years experience given is a factor for who this goes to. A prominent and well respected member on the...

All three were head coaches at area schools last year. One is in Stark, one is in Summit, and one is in Portage. Two have many years of experience and one is younger.

Schools can only offer A certain number of years experience (ex. 10) when looking at candidates outside of the district. It is accurate to say that in their final group of candidates there were a mix of coaches/teachers with many years of experience and those with less than 10. The experienced...
