Well facts are facts. Can argue all you want but its true lol.
Yes I know it is true, but you will see what I'm talking about when more people see the thread. Lol
Yep. Someone is going to be pissed. I won't say his name but it rhymes with Simkon.
I am actually working in a very remote area of Southern Indiana overseeing several projects for bridges and rock slides.
Chaney is terrible this year, Chaney reminds me of how a little kid plays Madden/NCAA on Playstation/XBOX. They go for it on 4th and a mile, they back track on runs for big losses, they drop back 15 yards and get sacked, they are completely inept at special teams. They had punts that barely got back to the LOS. Canfield still has several injuries and has limited depth, Canfield is not very good with those players out.
I really don’t think these teams are any worse than traditional Dover teams. I think they just play a much tougher schedule now as an independent. Oftentimes Dover would go 2-2 in the non league games against 4 good opponents, and then sweep the ECOL. Now all ten games are like those first 4 games of past- which unfortunately leads to 5-5 type seasons. They either need to get in a league, or water down the schedule a bit, but I know neither is that easy to do.
It’s not just about wins and losses. Playing the tougher teams weak after weak wears on their bodies so they’re not at their best for the tougher games. They also only have 50 kids- much lower than the old days of 80-90, so the depth is not really there. It’s pretty crazy that Boardman is the “easy game” left on the schedule.
Funny, the only schools there that are having really good seasons so far are both private schools.
Canfield only needs 4 wins to make the playoffs, they will be the #16 seed with 4 wins. Dover needs 5 wins if not 6 to make the playoffs, so it is more of a must win for Dover than Canfield. Canfield is aided by their week one win over West Branch, as they likely will go 9-1 or 8-2 (loss to Alliance).

In case you haven't noticed the strength of schedule has changed multiple times since before the start of the season until now. TCC started with the strongest strength of schedule at the beginning of the season but is now 10th. Canfield has bounced back and forth within the top 10 as well. Dover started around 10th and has gone up all the way to 1st apparently.
I think it’s because the D4 teams are all decent playoff teams, and the worst D2 teams are still better than weak league games for most other D3 teams. Having said that, I don’t know how TCC isn’t number 1.
Steubenville freshman had a 38-0 lead before DHS scored 14 in the 4th. I heard
that D7 is not really a D7. They are a WV Military Boarding school who has recruited a very nice team. The basketball team started 5 foreign players from 5 different countries. That said, they beat Steubenville, Mooney and Dover last year. They would be a very good D3 team in Ohio. Not eligible for WV state title because of some of the advantages they have.
Steubenville put the whammy on every team except the reserve game.
