D4 R15

Very weak region.

Hartley & Steubenville top 2 then a huge gap from there.
Everyone says this every year, especially the last couple with Hartley and Steubenville up a division. It’s usually good regional semi and finals are great games. But truth be told the winner has competed very well in the final 4 and even in the state championship. The district may very well be a wasteland to the rest of the state but there’s still good football!

I still feel like hartley should be #2 even with the 0-3. Idk if any of these teams other than steubenville could keep it close with them but then again I could be wrong

Drew Pasteur's probabilities for Hartley's first round opponent:
25% Logan Elm (6-2)
19% Gallia Academy (7-1)
18% New Lexington (7-1)
15% Indian Valley (5-3)
11% Marion-Franklin (5-2)

Hartley most likely loses to everybody on that list. Keeping them at #2 at this point in the season is giving too much weight to history. The defense is solid, but the offense sputters. They've only had one solid performance all season. Steubenville puts a running clock on them handily.

I see where you’re coming from but I still think even tho Hartley’s record isn’t that good they’d still beat everyone except for Steubenville. I do have one question tho, what ever happened to clinton massie?

Losing best player for 4 weeks hasn't helped. Next week Watty will be favored but I feel it will be closer then experts think.
 
Good thing about it happening in a strong community is that they'll just keep continuing to cheer on the kids with the same energy and excitement. Even with a team that has been a perennial power a down year here or there is inevitable.

I think Hartley is finally starting to find their groove. They are almost fully healthy and getting the right people in the right spots. Obviously kipp isn’t great but I was still impressed with how they played. I also cannot not see them losing to most the teams on that list.

As long as both teams take care of business on Friday night this game will happen in round 2.
 
It’s funny how at the beginning of the season this was to be the projected regional final. Now it’s the 2nd round game lol.
Well Hartley got screwed scheduling wise, 4 teams that were supposed to reciprocate a home and home contract bailed, forcing Hartley to scramble to find replacements, they did and played 8 straight away games. They just didn’t have the horses to pull away. Three plays go different and Hartley ends up 7-3 and #2 in region. But alas 4-6 it is and a second round game with Big Red. Wouldn’t be shocked if Steuby got their revenge, I don’t think Hartley has the firepower to score with them.
Hope for an injury free game for both teams and always, GO HAWKS!!!!
 
Speaking of scheduling, let me be the first to predict that KIPP Academy beats the Hawks next season. Because it's August, and the boys start slow.
