1972 Taft vs Bakersfield. IYKYK

The 21-20 OT loss to WWR was even more frustrating for Fitch that year because the Falcons controlled the game, but miscues kept the Raiders in the game. It had rained all day and throughout the game, causing a muddy field for everyone. Late 4th quarter tied at 14-14, the Falcons returned a punt...

LOL, easy now. YTOWN knows my frustrations with that game. Yes, the video of the game shows the YSU scoreboard as it was that end of the field. As the ball landed incomplete in the field of play, and not out of bounds, the clock should have stopped when it was signaled incomplete. There...

A lot of those wins were over really good teams too. Every SVC game that year was a battle. Mooney's 14-0 win over Ursuline was the largest spread of any SVC games that year I believe.

The SVC was really good that year. Fitch lost all those close games. Just couldn't get in the endzone. One TD per game more and the Falcons win the SVC and are in the playoffs. Different style of football then.

This is like Heinz Ketchup...

LOL, no problem. Just off the medal stand again...

My parents went to Hopewell. My dad always talked about Tony having a brother who was better growing up, but couldn't stay out of trouble and couldn't get his grades up enough to get into college.

Were my picks so bad I didn't even get listed???

It's hard to argue that. No team in Fitch history had done what the 86 team accomplished and no team since has advanced further in the playoffs unfortunately. They played a few of the most memorable games in Fitch history. The 85 win at Massillon was great because it was the first time we...

86 was a fun season for Fitch fans. There have been more talented teams in Austintown throughout the years, but that team played really well together.

Pitt Panthers have fans???

It's funny because I see names on the All City and All SVC teams that I remember playing in college. Then I look t a guy who was an OL in HS and he is listed at 6'2" 210, LOL. That's a small LB now. Some of the guys on YTOWN's list that went on to the NFL were under 6' and under 200lbs in HS...

Naming top comparing eras, division size, changed size of the Valley in general makes it very tough. There are smaller school state champs that were really good, but would they match up with AAA/D1 teams that fell short? JFK or SR had some great teams, Ursuline/Mooney at their smallest had...

Where is @YTOWN ? I am getting anxious waiting for 1984... It's like watching The Godfather, I already know how it turns out but I still watch it.

Agreed, the 83 team was really good. I remember being at the Ursuline game in the snow. My dad coached a bunch of those guys when they were younger. I was 11 and heart broken. We just kept turning the ball over. Besides the ones you mentioned, I think we fumbled a couple more times.
