They have been winning playoff games and making runs , it will be very disappointing if they go another direction

Bellbrook won’t have to leave , they’ll let the league form around them , everyone else that’s smaller or can’t compete will bail , bigger and better programs will filter In , sprinkle here and a sprinkle there and this league will be much different in 5 years

Very impressed with bellbrook schedule this year.
This schedule will have them prepared for the Ross’s of the world . Feel they could of competed better in 2nd half of that game if they would of been able to have this schedule and experience last year .

Tipp and Bellbrook should always play each other. That's a great old-SWBL rivalry. Two very similar communities.

The problem with that is Bellbrook has pretty much been the big fish for 20+ years. Bigger programs would upset their balance. Let's put Trotwood, Ross, Edgewood and Mt Healthy in the SWBL. Bellbrook would struggle to compete with those schools. Clinton Massie would upset the balance as it is. SWBL has never built around a single School, more around a geographic center which I believe is now Franklin.

Don't know Franklin's exact schedule but know out of conference they play Beavercreek, Fenwick, and Edgewood so no cupcakes there. Love that schedule.
I am in the minority that would love to see Massie and Wilmington into the league I think. But those two would be great additions and fit the size and close enough geographically if you kept them in the opposite division of Brookville and Eaton.

Trotwood would never be in the same league and I’d have to respectfully disagree , I believe with the rate the community is growing and the level of play in ALL sports they are more then able to compete . They’ve been doing that the last 5-6 year’s , the 15 years prior to that you can’t say the same . Times are changing my friend

That is a nice schedule. Tipp City and Badin should be strong competition in the OOC, but also games that are potentially winnable too.

Franklin hires Larry Cox as head coach. Looks like he’s coached at Bellbrook, coached at Lakota West for 21 years, and spent the last 2 seasons at Talawanda.

love the Knights and Grey Ghosts!
if true then throw his name for any area head coaching gig. he’s a good coach and more importantly a leader of young men.

I played in the early 80s. We beat Bellbrook 21-0 in 81 and finished 9-1 SWBL Champs. Bellbrook went to the playoffs in D4 and Milton didn't in D3. We were so upset about that. We lost to Greenville by a td that year. Yes, Milton was bigger than Bellbrook back then.

I played football for Northridge way back in 1986 - 1989. We had some pretty good teams back in those days. I have lived in Pickerington for about 20 years and all of my sons have or will play for Pick Central.
My question is how can Northridge be so bad for so long? I know the coach is older than dirt, he was a coach back when I played 30+ years ago. How does a coach keep his job that long when his teams suck every year? They have enough athletes to compete in basketball so why not football? For those in the know, what gives?

I think some schools just never built the program to be a winner. I think it's the kids and a good coach. Many good athletes over the years at Northridge. We had a back at Milton back in 10-12 who's dad and mom graduated from Northridge. Brown was the last name. He was a stud back.

I coached baseball for Northridge a few years ago. The have way better athletes than Milton (where I graduated from). The problem there is keeping the kids interested and out of trouble. If they could get a coach that could really get the kids to buy into being disciplined and committed sky's the limit. I just know that once the kids lose one time their spirits are down and its all over. Northridge really isn't as bad as they have been portrayed.
