D-1 Region 4

 
Moeller is going to be massive up front this year and very athletic. I would put the Crusaders on the list of teams that have a great shot at winning it. They may be as big as Ed’s was last year.

Highly doubt they will be as big as Eds last year.

A center at 275, a LG at 265, a RG at 250, a LT at 300 and a RT at 290. You tell me, is that as big as Ed’s last year.

St. Eds averaged 300 pounds per lineman.

Yeah the height is insane too. So okay I concede Moeller not as big but that’s still a pretty impressive and athletic group.

I'm sure that Moeller is gonna be super tough up front.

As a 2002 Warren G. Harding alum, we played Moeller four times & Elder twice. Split evenly with both, but Elder beat Harding in a third game 21-19, which was in the 2002 Division I state title game. I miss watching the Raiders battle the GCL powerhouses. Great times!
 
Eds, even by their standards, had a once is a generation height and sized line.

Their 2010, 2011, 2012 were all huge too.
 
Going in, will Moeller’s Ponatoski’s be the top QB in Cincy? He made big leaps as a sophomore. I can only think he will make another big jump his Junior year. He has a solid line coming back. Week one is going to be a big test for their offense.

In addition to the experienced O-line, there will be no shortage of targets for him as well. Moe is loaded at TE and WR.

Nobody is on the Marshall level at RB, but I believe their RBs will be just fine.

Defense will be interesting as they have big replacements in the secondary. Be curious if they can fill the voids.
 
Moeller has D1 guys all over the field. I do think Princeton will be pretty good as well. It's a long season with those playoffs being so many games now. They might play each other again in the playoffs for R4 title. Other solid teams this year will be Hamilton, LW and St. X and Winton Woods in R4 now

I didn't realize the shift in the region.

Lebanon, Springboro, and Middletown out. WW and Little Miami in.

I saw him play twice
1st game: 6 for 21 for 62 yards and 1 INT, zero TDs
2nd game: 16 for 29 for 160 yards and 1 INT, zero TDs

I can't wait to see what the pampered recruit does this year against X

With the recent transfers I think Princeton is the most talented team in the region. I believe they will get out coached in the playoffs though. I’m ranking the teams by how far they go in the playoffs 1 Region Champ, 2 Runner up, 3 and 4 semi finalists etc….
1. Moeller
2. Lakota West
3. Princeton
4. Winton Woods
5. St Xavier
6. Hamilton
7. Elder
8. Lebanon

Hamilton above any GCL school is absolute nonsense.
