Maybe Grove is better than we're giving them credit for. I mean if we think about it, 2 teams in history have beaten ML in a state title game: Kirtland and . . . You guessed it, Columbus Grove.
Idk, man. They only beat LCC by one score and PH by 2 scores. ML wins against those two teams by 35+.

I know this isn't a hot take, but I don't think any team from D5-D6-D7 beats Local this season. If Glenville
wasn't in D4, I'd throw them in as well.

Here’s my analysis.
Grove beat a 9-1 Liberty Benton team who D5. 42-14.
The PH game they were up two processions right before halftime when they lost their quarterback so basically they played whole second half without game plan and still managed to win by to 2Tds. Also PH is 8-2 and took Liberty Center (D5) down to the wire. Lost by like 5 I think. PH is a solid D6 team.
LCC game was kinda like a trap game for them. I guess right before the big game with Bluffton. which Grove just dismantled that Bluffton team 42-0 at their place. If Grove plays LCC again I bet it won’t be as close. IMO.
At the end of the day, let’s say both Grove and Marion local play in each other in the semi. Or state final would you want a good Competitive Game vs a blowout by 30? Just my take.

I want a good game. Unfortunately, this Local team is on another level. If Grove keeps it within 3 scores, I say that is a good showing.

The worst part about all of this is that the moment they put ML in D7, every team in the state instantly knew they had no shot. No
legitimate shot. 0.0001%.

I bet minster and grove think they got that shot if the opportunity presents itself. But that’s why they play the game. Got get there first.
