Ross has some monster kids. Three wins?

Where are the numbers at for Ross? I remember they were down a bit last year. Anyone know where they are this year?

Tiffin has monster kids. Perrysburg has monster kids. Whitmer definitely has monster kids. As does Findlay. And, Southview and likely Napoleon will beat up Ross physically

As far as I'm concerned, talk is cheaper than I in a Dollar General

I mean, the Little Giants DID beat Clay at Clay last year. Ross leaned on Clay late and ran away with it. Ross returns their O and D lines and Clay lost the majority of theirs. I think Southview is a toss up at the moment as they lost quite a bit as well.

I asked before and will ask again, anyone know what kind of numbers Ross has out this year?

Last year, there were 60 in 10-12. I'd imagine about the same, maybe +/- 5

Typically, Ross has Clay’s number
 
After a few days to sleep on it, I wish I didn't see that Preview. I knew it'd be talk is cheap material. And, coach Lutz and Tiffin had to be laughing. He brought up physicality a few times during Advertiser-Tribune game interview
