I’m curious if LaSalle has any intentions of playing IMG again next year at their place. Or was this a one year deal?
LaSalle had nothing to lose by playing IMG. The LaSalle AD got the best HS Team in the country to come to North Bend rd. This in my opinion was a “steal” for LaSalle an the entire GCL. When the last time (if ever) a Top 5 Team from outside the Region came to play a GCL School on their Home Field?Mickey i normally agree with you but i said back on page 1 or 2 that this was a terrible decision for LaSalle to play them and that if IMG was going to play anyone it should have been X. X has imo their best team ever this year and they still would have lost by 30. X will turbo clock all 3 GCLS opponents or come very close. There are def teams in Ohio that would have faired better than LaSalle tonight. Elder would have been beat by 50 as well so im not saying they are any better. I just dont understand why the AD scheduled this or let it happen.
Point 6 is all that needs to be said.I’ve read maybe 5 posts of this thread, so if someone said this already I apologize.
1) IMG is a College team. You take there last 4-5 classes put them in a college together with a decent coach and they are ranked up there with BAMA, Oklahoma, Clemson, Georgia, Ohio State!! Period!!
2) Ohio HS Football hasn’t dropped off. The game has changed to a more athletic and speed game than strength and physicality. And not by accident.
The offense has rules added to help it score points 2)
The defense has new rules to help the offense score points 2)
3) Ohio hasn’t fallen behind, other states have just caught up. Ohio doesn’t have a monopoly on great coaching like it ounce did.
4) Ohio’s demographics and coaching tradition/culture dictate its style of football. Old School-Spread-RPO etc..
5) The negative brain trauma propaganda and press has taken its toll on mom’s and dad’s and “little Timmy” now plays Soccer or Track.
6) Ohio doesn’t have a State All-Star team to play IMG types. That’s called “COLLEGE FOOTBALL”
Ohio has a localized HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT sized teams.
7) Ohio doesn’t have “Spring Football” to promote their players to College and Recruiting Services. Huge recruiting disadvantage and that’s why teams like IMG exist in the 1st place.
-IMG kids typically come from states like Ohio etc.. where the kids get maximum exposure.
Tardy logic. Getting beat by 50 points is a “steal”.LaSalle had nothing to lose by playing IMG. The LaSalle AD got the best HS Team in the country to come to North Bend rd.

Boothmark I think this was just a 1 yr deal. I can about guarantee that LaSalle will not be heading to Bradenton,FL next yr to play IMG. Kudos to LaSalle for not being afraid, can’t win em all!
Competitive logic unlock your always wimpy logic! You admittedly never were an athlete but you have admitted your a wuss??.Tardy logic. Getting beat by 50 points is a “steal”.
There was absolutely nothing competitive about this game.Competitive logic unlock your always wimpy logic! You admittedly never were an athlete but you have admitted your a wuss??.
You always name calling knowing damn good and well if you talked like that in person to anyone on hear you would get your little wussy a ss beat!
Ohio doesn't have 1 team in Ohio that can compete with IMG. You would need a GCL South all-star team to have a chance.Well gentlemen I think we have beat this game to death ...time to move on. nothing really gained from the debacle. One thing that was not settled was the quarterback situation on LS. Neither one showed any significant improvement than previously. Let’s move onto the Trinity game and discuss that

Let’s move on. Nothing here
Most Competitive people want the opportunity to compete against the best! Obviously you know nothing about being competitive. Face the facts pboy you know way more about being a p ussy than being competitive. Just the facts of the matter!There was absolutely nothing competitive about this game.

ok, go fight Connor McGregor, bc that’s the equivalent of this game. It was amateurs(don’t mean that derogatorily) vs professional. But keep living in that fantasy world, f’n dunceMost Competitive people want the opportunity to compete against the best! Obviously you know nothing about being competitive.

No excuse. They have players jump teams in that Catholic League from year to year. Same with coaches. It’s a pay for the best players with entitlements, tuitions, jobs, etc..Which point(s) above is the excuse for Bergen Catholic NJ putting a running clock on Hoban a few weeks back? Thx.
It’s either draw a line in the sand and say “ this is how high school sports are to be regulated “ or these teams like IMG and a whole host of others recruit just for football pulling kids from different cities, states, regions of the country.Which point(s) above is the excuse for Bergen Catholic NJ putting a running clock on Hoban a few weeks back?

Funny how LaSalle people are so “proud” of the team’s effort, but is still not reporting this game on the GCL site. As far as they concerned this game never happened. Where’s the pride?
Kind of like being proud of keeping in close against a D2 powerhouse two year years in a row, right?Funny how LaSalle people are so “proud” of the team’s effort, but is still not reporting this game on the GCL site. As far as they concerned this game never happened. Where’s the pride?

But you did recruit that same player from Princeton....and then proceeded to let him fade away because he didn't appear to be of any use to you. Pathetic.LaSalle has never recruited a player from Massillon, the same can not be said of Massillon.
Huh? stick to your false narrative about being an elite programBut you did recruit that same player from Princeton....and then proceeded to let him fade away because he didn't appear to be of any use to you. Pathetic.
So LaSalle was shown the exit last year by a NON elite program?Huh? stick to your false narrative about being an elite program
Yes, it happens. Elite is winning state titles, not going 0-6 against said elite programs, get it?So LaSalle was shown the exit last year by a NON elite program?
Why doesn’t the game count toward harbarin points for LaSalle?

"They're getting the best players in the country," McLaughlin said. "It got ugly a little bit. Our kids can say they played against IMG. I don't know if they're one or two or five in the country; we did it. It's a completely different level of football. They're not even in the Florida High School football association. I think we're still 2-0 after tonight and we'll go down to Louisville next week ready to go."
