If top 8 win, am I correct that puts Clay against AW?
2024 Northern Lakes League....both divisions

- Start date
Yep, 3v6. Would be fun to see both those QB’s on the same field.

I’ve been curious about this and I’m hoping for some answers: What happened to Anthony Wayne’s Joe Caswell
You obviously haven't seen much of Clay to know what Heintschel is working with in front of him. He creates so many things just on his own. Kinnee is obviously a special player, but his supporting cast is so much better.

Colgate is a great school in a beautiful location. They seem to be recruiting Ohio pretty hard. They have been recruiting Avon pretty hard the last couple years, so maybe they do have an Ohio guy on the staff. It’s certainly an easy drive from northern Ohio. Anyway, I would love to see an unbeaten AW get a crack at an unbeaten Highland.

Hamilton isn't even easy drive from northern Syracuse. You must know a special road without ice, foot snow, construction, old people pulling out of blind driveways and tractors. I tend to take the pike out of habit, then angle towards 20. I think I'd be smarter to take the southern tier then head north. Takes a bit longer but less traffic and pretty drive too.
At this point, that's pretty much the only way it could happen. Or is that what you were saying? Of course I'd like to see Start meet-up with Avon but that's not happening. With that off the table, I'd probably root a bit towards Clay being they are on the good side of the river.

Haha. Well, for a kid from NEO it’s not a bad drive. All I-90 most of the way, but yes…winter is a bit challenging up there.

I don't think he ended up going anywhere. Didn't get the offers he was hoping for, especially D1. I think he had a couple of D2 offers (possibly Notre Dame College in Cleveland) but decided not to play in college. Not sure if he ever was going to Notre Dame, but that small college closed I believe.

That’s really disappointing. He was up there with Walendzak at Perrysburg, now one is at Toledo and the other is likely in college or joined the workforce. It would’ve really been something if BGSU recruited him so their rivalry continued

Yeah, he was a good athlete. My son got to know him a little bit their Junior years when they played CYO Basketball together. Won the CYO State Championship......LOL.

D1R1 is kind of crazy this year. St. Ignatius, who is 1-9 and the #16 seed, has to play #1 Mentor. Iggy would probably beat almost every other team in that Region, with the exception of Mentor and St. Eds. Mentor only beat them 20-14 in Week 2. That's by far the best 1 vs 16 matchup in the state.
Toledo Central Catholic needed a big time come back to beat Iggy by 1.

St. Ignatius may have one of the hardest non-prep schedules in America honestly, as they played arguably 7 of the Top 15 teams in the State across all Divisions. Sure they lost almost every game on it, but they probably would be 10-0 with AW or PBurg's schedule

Easily. The only team outside of Pburg and AW is Whitmer. And I don't think any of those 3 could beat Iggy.

I mean Whitmer and Iggy had a common opponent this season and Whitmer won easily 42-14. Iggy had more trouble winning 35-21 on the road. I don’t think you sit here and say that none of those 3 can beat them with much certainty. They seem pretty evenly matched

Ignatius only lost to TCC by 1 and Whitmer lost by only 10, so I'd agree, match-ups could vary. There's no obvious predictor.
The D1R1 one seed isn't exactly the easy side of the bracket it's supposed to be. Cleveland Heights has two high DL recruits, a high RB recruit and still got gobbersmacked in-season by their first round opponent, Strongsville. Mentor/St I gets that winner.
I put on one of the prediction threads, I want a Whitmer - Cleveland Heights match-up so we can hope for a Taylor Swift - Adrianne Palicki smack-down.

Just my opinion, but I think AW is the only team that would have a shot at beating Iggy. To be fair, AW smashed both Whitmer and Perrysburg. Do you think any of these 3 would beat TCC? I don't and Iggy almost (probably should've) beaten them.
That said, Iggy is a very up and down team this year....even with their brutal schedule. I mean, they played Mentor, St. Ed's, TCC, St. Xavier and the Canadian team tough. But then got absolutely blown out by Moeller, Walsh Jesuit, Avon and Hoban (who are all very good teams obviously).
So I guess you never know and I'm not sure the injury status of Iggy, but if I had to put a lot of money on it.....I'd take Iggy over all three of them.

What % chance do you give any NLL school to bring home the state title?
Football, this year? 0%
I think the 2.5 hour bus ride is worth the extra TD on either side.

Agree with the others, but I'll say 0.0001%. And Whitmer has the only chance because D2 is better, top to bottom, than D1 this year.
IMO....AW has no shot at beating Avon, Highland, Hoban, Walsh Jesuit and Massillon (among many others). And I didn't even mention possibly the best team in the state in D2, Cincinnati Anderson, who I think might win it all. AW will win 2 playoff games (because their 1st and 2nd round games are cakewalks) and then lose to Highland.
Whitmer & Nap. make State Semi's.

I said weeks ago the playoffs would not be kind to the NLL and the Cardinal division proves to be pretty awful. Ross lost to a very good Highland team 54-7, BG was getting rolled by a 6-4 Defiance team 30-0 at one point, and Clay got beat at home against Sandusky 35-28. The Cardinal division was putrid.
BTW congrats to Sandusky and their HC who was named HC in July (I think). The Blue Streak D was coached up and schemed very well forcing three essential pick sixes and 5-6 sacks against a decent QB.
