Well, they’ve played every year since 2010 in the regular season and have met three times in the playoffs. Avon is 11-3 in those meetings. I guess it’s like how Michigan still sees itself as Ohio State’s big brother, but the last decade is not on their side. Does that stir the pot?Maybe they prayed the rosary BEFORE the fumble, hmmmmmm?
Pretty sure Avon Lake is the big brother in this relationship, having been quite good long before they started building subdivisions out of farmland. AL grew from Cleveland, not from the country. I'd suspect Avon grew from lack of space along rt 6 making AL the Daddy. Anyhow Avon was still D4 in the early 2000s.
Avon lost their one test by three scores. Given what AL did to Columbian, Brecksville and Strongsville, I think they may pull out the paddle next weekend. Where's the stir the pot emoji?
That’s what I was referring too. Yes, AL was beating them consistently a long time ago, but recently it’s been Avon that is ending AL’s season and I hope it changes every year!
Yeah, they’re doing better against Avon recently. Until a couple years ago most of the meetings were blowouts in Avon’s favor. Coach K has done a good job at AL.
Probably exactly what the AL coach is saying to his players. So curious, was I wrong? A's growth preceded Avon and many in Avon are children of those in AL?
Definitely true. Actually, the current boom town in Lorain County is North Ridgeville. Great facilities, a ton of houses sprouting up everywhere. If they can get the right head coach, they have all the ingredients for a big run of success.
Ah yes, reminds me of Edward Scissor hands the movie when you drive down every development with the same looking house and a not a tree in site.
A pool without Washington at #1 isn't a good pool. I would also put Piqua in the top 10
This is a football pool right, you cant go swimming in a *football* pool. Just like you cant roller skate in a buffalo herd, you cant take a shower in a parakeet cage, you cant change film with a kid on your back, you cant drive around with a tiger in your car, and you cant go fishing in a watermelon patch. I'm sorry I don't seek or sniff the same interests of the guy you most likely voted for, that isnt a common thing and hopefully never will be.
Sorry. Just think Piqua is good enough to be top 10.
If you are going out to the "pool" this November make sure you wear a wetsuit because your originality and quick wit would be sorely missed on here.
I'm not arguing that that wasn't a huge blown call but Avon did march right down the field and settled for the game winning FG. There were still 3 or 4 plays that Avon could have run from the 15 yard line to try and score a TD. Saw some of the replays and you wonder how the ref missed that call though. He was right there. I guess we're all human. Lol
I really like this Fitch team, but Fitch hasn’t taken Benedictine and Hoban to double overtime. That, combined with them not playing this week is what kept them under Walsh for me.
I’d have to agree with you at this point of the season.
in the 1980's & 90's Avon Lake beat Avon like a rented mule. The current coaching staff turned the program around. The addition of all the sub divisions helped increase enrollment. In the last 15 years Avon as made a huge turn around. Before that, they were the weak sister.
I agree Piqua's schedule doesn't help prove this team's worth. I hate the 9 game MVL schedule. However, this is a better, more skilled and far deeper team than the squad they had last year. I know it has been awhile for Piqua but this is the most talented team they have had since their state championship year. I get that we won't really know their worth until playoffs but they could make some noise. I'm not saying they can beat Lasalle but they can play with Kings, Winton Woods & Turpin. I respect your thoughts however until proven otherwise.
Totally agree
Avon and Avon Lake only played in the 1950s and very early 1960s. AL grew fast and Avon stayed small. Avon was D5 in the 1980s and 1990s, while AL was D2. They played for the first time since the early 1960s in 2007 at Browns Stadium with AL winning 50-25 after Avon finally reached D3. They didn’t meet again until 2010 when both were in D2 and have met every year since with Avon dominating the win total 11-3 (including playoffs).
