Toledo CC off the schedule, replaced by Benedictine. Anticipating that the remainder of the schedule to be the sameAny major changes to the schedule?
So another slobber knocker of a schedule. Hopefully they can improve more in the win column and get a little more favorable playoff positionToledo CC off the schedule, replaced by Benedictine. Anticipating that the remainder of the schedule to be the same
Home and home with Avon and Mentor ( both were home games last yr.). Pick North a new opponent. A number of games away to start has happened several times.3 road games to start off the year? That’s not very common. Another component of Franzinger changes.
Crane’s Cleveland Business has an article of about a $5M gift toward capital campaign. I’ve reached my limit though and can’t read it but maybe someone else can share.

They scheduled the Chiefs for game 8 in hopes that Taylor Swift would make her way to Wasmer.Slap me silly
Pick North’s QB is a Jr.If it helps, PN was a very senior heavy team, as they will lose 4 starting WRs (2 d1 ones), starting QB, starting RB. They do return all but one of their D1 secondary, but should be a worse team than last year.
Bad news, they usually have a handful of transfers come in, an OSU WR commit lives 20 minutes away and isn't being utilized on his current team, and PN has had a couple OSU commits go through their program, Sam Williams-Dixon was the most recent one, originally played on West Holmes, but moved to PN his senior year.
QB is a junior yes, thrown off since he committed so early. So thats also another attraction for families wanting their receivers to get more D1 looks. He's a dual threat QB, threw a couple more INTs than he would've wanted to this year.Pick North’s is a Jr.
What’s funny is Fitzpatrick told the team that he had to do better scheduling… then he turns around and does this.Slap me silly
Where's he going now?Season is already off to another great Franzinger start… impossible schedule and Tristan Hughes transferred out (right after the season ended).
He is at Rocky River, but I heard that his ultimate destination is Avon.Where's he going now?
Most of the teams on the schedule are multi-yr contracts. It will be a while,What’s funny is Fitzpatrick told the team that he had to do better scheduling… then he turns around and does this.
I’m surprised he left such a historic program…Where's he going now?
Especially once the inevitable NIL comes to Ohio hs sports.I expect the transfer circus with players to become more and more common, unfortunately. Blame modern college football for that. I think a lot of it has to do with helicopter parents convinced their kid is the best and needs to be playing somewhere else, isn't playing enough, etc.
Ironically, it's the kid who gets forgotten in all of it. Bouncing around to 4 different high schools can't be good for a kid who may not have all that much of a say in the process.
We remember that too. Now we can’t get QBs to complete 50% of passes or stay healthy.Still remember the days of the next QB coming in better than the last one (always First Team Ohio) and that lasted for seems like 10-12 years...
Program(s).I’m surprised he left such a historic program…
