Yeah, got my league and overall mixed up. Maybe it's wishful thinking that this league gets more competitive. Right now, in football, it's Milton and then everyone else.
I think NE was senior laden. Ansonia is an unknown. I think Riverside matches up well with them.
Milton plays Versailles and Graham in 2024. This is the last year they play Valley View. The Spartans replaced Milton with Coldwater starting in 2024.
Who does Trail play now
No. MU just couldn't find anyone to play. They were close with Arcanum, Kenton Ridge and a few others, but couldn't make it work. Trading Valley View for Versailles is pretty similar, but the one overlap year where they play both is pretty rough.
Who do you think Milton loses too? Bethel was pretty bad last year. Jumping up that much? Could be, it is high school. I think Riverside has to get the nod for conference champs. I hear Milton will be down a lot this year. Plus they have a rough ooc with Valley View and Dayton Oakwood. They could start 1-2 or 0-3. Bethel needs to improve a lot to challenge Riverside. Also, I heard that Covington will likely play a scaled down schedule again. If so, who are some possible replacements for Milton and Riverside? I don’t see Covington playing either of those two. Maybe not Northridge again.
I caught a few of Bethel's games last year. You could tell they were close but still young and buying into the new coach. They are definitely on the right trajectory. I think they go anywhere from 5-2 or 3-4 depending on how Miami East and Lehman respond to the coaching changes. They could easily be a year off yet, but they will be one of the teams to beat in the years to come.
Miltons Jv's played most of the second half in just about all the conference games which is huge. To say they are going to be down big is far fetched for me. Coach Pearce will have those boys ready to rock for league play. If they lose a game in the league it'd be very close. For any D7 school in this league to get the nod for conference champs is like comparable to catching santa coming down the chimney. Not saying its impossible for one of the D7 schools to have a hell of year. I think the D7 school will be competing for the most part but it flat out comes down to numbers and they are competing with with a couple D4 and D5 teams which will be a tall order to win the crown.
How many kids are out at Milton? Just curious. And I’m not arguing your points.
I am unsure, I would guess north of 50? dograt would be the one to answer that one
If Bradford can get 30 kids before Covington can, that’s sad. I believed they (Covington) needed a coaching change this last offseason.
I think the pirates are going to be very good this year. With Milton being down, it could be a year to sneak out a win and a championship.
For PED's or street drugs? Not that I want my kid out there doing drugs, but if a school came to me and said they wanted to drug test my 15yr old kid I would have a problem. Seems like a massive overreach from the school in my opinion.
Interesting. New Bremen is a wild card to me and we'll see how they do against Mechanicsburg but considering West Lib...they have been down and may not be the best to judge for a 7-7, they are kind of a full package deal and can be very good. Northwestern, they couldn't beat themselves out of a wet paper bag in a 7-7 or inter-squad scrimmage.
Not sure maybe someone would be able to explain.
You originally asked if all teams in the TRC test. I'm not aware of any testing, do you know of any schools doing drug tests in the conference?
Covington not sure of anymore. Heard it over the weekend.
