WE ARE LUCAS.
I was joking, but I think a coach out that way is getting up there in years. Guys, help a R25 brother out...

How old is the coach at Matthews? He's for sure in his late 80s I believe?

Sorry, he just announced his retirement last month at the age of 88 (!!!)

Danville is on their 3rd coach since 2013-Honabarger, Smith, Blum
Plymouth had the same coach but will have a new one next year
Toronto has had 2 since 13 I believe

Yikes - what say you JFK faithful? This smells like a beat down? Confusing add for JFK right now..?
Win or lose will only help come playoff time, beating the Champion, St Thomas Aq, Ravenna SE, Cleveland CC, and Rootstown do nothing but get young kids reps

Why is it confusing? Unlike most D7s, we don't duck people and schedule nothing but cupcakes. Has worked out pretty well, don't you think?

Just seems like an off year to do it
Take what they can get not many teams within close proximity willing to play JFK

It's not like teams are lining up to play the Eagles. It isn't going to be as big of an off year as many think either. Remember, Kennedy returns something like 7 starters on offense and 6 on defense and a lot of the backups got a lot of playing time this year. Plus the JV went undefeated too.

JFK returns plenty to be good enough to win this region again. I dont know where that talk comes from. Their QB will be a 3rd or 4th year starter and they return a very good RB along with the backup that played well. They started a freshman on the OL last year. They'll be fine.

5-5 in 2018 and JFK still played for the regional title. 4-6 in 2017 got them the 7 seed. With 16 teams making it, they could go 3-7 and still get in.

This is what should happen with the expanded playoff. Teams should schedule tougher teams in the regular season. JFK, Lucas, Dalton have all done this. Danville is the smallest school in their league. Hillsdale has a good league schedule and Lucas non-league for the next few years.

FWIW, the region was much weaker back then than it has been the last few years.

Something I’ve always wondered. Are JFK parents too soft to send their kids to Harding or are their kids too soft to handle it?

The soft ones more than likely aren’t playing football

I read in the children's book Ferdinand that the soft ones always go down....

If you've ever seen a Kennedy football game "soft" isn't the term you would use. Smart would be the word you are looking for. Why anyone would want their kid to go to a failing school district is beyond me.

Lol. It would be special to be part of a failing football program I guess. Enjoy another 3-7 season young man.

Kudos to JFK. It's a win-win for 2 reasons. One, they are playing a school comparable to what they will likely see in the state finals. And two, it's providing them a respectable opponent that likely won't back out of a game/contract.

I would bet that if you saw a Harding practiced vs a Kennedy practice, a Boardman practice vs a Canfield practice, a South Range practice vs a Niles practice, an Ursuline practice vs a Salem practice, you would learn a lot on why those teams play a certain way.
Everyone knows Harding is the antithesis of physicality, but the queens of finesse led by a clown. Meanwhile, physicality is the utmost priority by the November teams mentioned above. If you aren’t physical in those programs, you fill up the water bottles.
Harding is too soft to handle the physicality of a regional final. Too soft to handle the moment. So in fact, I ask you: could Harding kids handle the demand of winning playoff games at Warren JFK?
