Battle of Pickerington - OCC

All this talk about PickTown football and these loaded rosters, early signing day looked a little rough. UK kid from North along with a few MAC kids, Central had a Cincy, Marshall and maybe Tenn State. I'll take Gahanna's rosters over these any day. Why does Pick always think they have the best rosters? Gahanna the past 2 years has sent probably 15 kids D1 - this year alone they had multiple kids to Army, qb to Kentucky, LB to Cincy, and a few YSU guys. Last year half their oline went D1 with a WVU rb. Maybe the hype in Pickerington is a little inflated

Gahanna won the region last year, and if they didn’t lose their Kentucky commit qb they would have probably won it this year with the way these teams play if that’s what you mean. Embarrassed both Pick teams the last few years. I just laugh how PickTown always think they have these “loaded” rosters. Like the star qb in Pickerington this year, with a Campbell, Florida a/m, offer….when I think star qb I think of a kid choosing between P4 offers. What makes a “loaded” roster. Even UA who is always the “no talent” best coaches team in the area had a Big Ten defensive end.

Gahanna was definitely loaded in 2022 and 2023, not quite as much in 2024. Their Kentucky commit QB played when they got boat raced by Liberty and lost to Groveport...right? Liberty and Groveport held Gahanna's offense - with their star QB - to a combined 7 points.

Gahanna can thump their chest because they've done well against Pickerington lately; however, the Tigers are 17-4 vs. Gahanna this century. Gahanna won in 2022 and 2023, but the Tigers and Lions meet up again in 2025 so we'll see how that goes.

This was not meant to be a Gahanna is better than Pickerington post. It was meant to be more of all this talk of loaded rosters in Pickerington, but I'd say Gahanna's rosters were actually loaded in 22 and 23 if you want to talk about "loaded" rosters. I'm just an outsider laughing at how Picktown people think their rosters are so much better than other teams, and I will agree there is some talent in Picktown, but to think they are just that much better than other schools is laughable. I was so excited to see this North team, and what I saw was a good football team, but nothing more than that. I saw a decent RB and a stud WR. I didn't see a team that was just going to walk through the region. After watching the central/north game, I think Central benefited from an average schedule, and North won as many games as they could, and after watching them play Berlin I'm not sure they were better than Berlin, and def weren't better than Liberty. All in all, both teams had great seasons, and made it about as far as they should. Anyone that says different is delusional.
