I'm sorry, but as long as Piqua doesn't have any major injury's they should beat Tipp by as many as they decide. I'm not getting into this debate until after week 7.
Xenia will go 10-0 providing they don't have a huge meltdown! I said before the game last night, the winner will go 10-0 and the loser will go 9-1.

The kid from Greenville may have something to say about that. We’ll see what it looks like in 3 more weeks after he goes up against the Xenia and Piqua defenses.

I don’t think you put anyone up with Xenia after they destroyed Piqua like that. Sorry. Tipp and Piqua belong to tier 2 and then tiers below would be tier 3-4. Tipp might catch Xenia off-guard but until then, I see them with Piqua in Tier 2.
Tier 1: Xenia
Tier 2: Piqua, Tipp
Tier 3: Troy
Tier4: everyone else.
Just my opinion.

I definitely think Piqua is better than and should beat Tipp, but saying "by as many as they decide" is a little naïve, especially after what Xenia just did to them. Tipp is solid and should be able to compete with them for a while at the very least.

Xenia was definitely the better team but I thought Piqua looked flat and was just off on all aspects offensively defensively and had some penalties on kick and punt returns. Maybe from playing Troy last week or returning to school for the first week.

I'm going to bet Short gets it. He's a stud on defense, too. He's about 100 rushing yards ahead and has way more receiving yards too.

Don't worry West Carrollton's coming up!

No one seems to be saying they're great, but they've done enough the last few seasons to be treated with respect and not disregarded. You can say the exact same thing about Xenia and Piqua's first three opponents.

Sidney looked solid last night, especially on defense. Played a complete game after apparent meltdown late at Greenville last week (I didn't go to that).
West Carrollton and Fairborn should get them to 4 wins. If they can beat Stebbins and or Troy, they can get to 5 or 6.

Have to agree. Stebbins is still a team on the rise. Not so long ago the Indians would be easily last in whatever conference they played in. Now I see them as sort of "best of the rest" in the MVL, which is a massive improvement. Piqua, Tipp, and Troy are still better programs. And Xenia (by way of a very good coach) has skipped the line to becoming a very good program. But Stebbins is right on that edge. I think they end up 6-4, which is historically good for Stebbins.

Why is Greenville struggling so bad? You would think being the biggest school in a football crazy county that they would experience some level of succeess

How do you explain Darke County being a football crazy county?

Versailles is a Historic Program, Ansonia has had some good teams over the years. Arcanum too. Tri-Village since they've began has been doing really well. Yet idk why Greenville has struggled to win.

I’ve been wrong before but I think Stebbins has chance vs. Tipp Friday. Tipps defense is playing well, but the offense still has some questions IMO. Plus with Xenia the following week it would be my upset pick of the week.

Just asking a simple question on why Greenville is so bad?

I don't know. Only thing I can think of with those other small schools, is that they have fewer fall sports to draw from.

Tipp is averaging 37 points a game, while only giving up 5 a game. Tipp has the best run defense in the league, giving up only 67 yards per game on the ground. Stebbins has the 2nd worst passing offense in the MVL. The only way a team is gonna beat Tipp is by beating them over the top, hence why Xenia is such a bad matchup for Tipp and Piqua is not. Stebbins is gonna have to throw the ball to beat Tipp and they haven’t been very successful at that this year
If you look at programs that are strong on a regular basis, they tend to have coaches who have built strong foundations which kids and the community has bought in to. The development starts at a young age and continues through high school. In coaching, it’s more than X’s and O’s. It’s a culture. Look at a program like Piqua. Bill Nees has been there a long time and has built a program that the kids and community are well engaged in from a young age.
I can't wait for the Tipp Xenia game, battle of the two best defenses in the league. Not to diminish what Tipp has done this year, but Sidney, Butler and WC versus Fairborn, Troy and Piqua is not really a comparison. I think Xenia's offense is harder to stop than people are expecting. But this is why the game is played, anything can happen.

Tipp is now #3 in the AP Division 3 State Poll. If I am not mistaken that is their highest ranking ever. Xenia is now ranked #4 in division 2.

I'm interested to see what their ceiling really is, especially come playoff time. We all saw Piqua make a nice run last year, winning 3 in the playoffs before running into Winton Woods, so I'd like to think Xenia might be capable of that as well given the right seedings. Heck, maybe Piqua gets a rematch with them at some point?

Greenville probably has one of the most exciting RB in the conference. Plays D as well, all around really good ball player....really like the kid and too bad the team is not doing well.

Pretty cool story, when senior football Player Gordon Haas found out that the new bleachers at Tipp had a reduced capacity, he asked the school district for permission to get portable bleachers. He then found a vendor, secured a contract and has raised over $8,000 in the last 20 hours. Here is a link to the go fund me which has a more detailed description of the cause. The portable bleachers will be delivered and installed Friday morning just in time for the game.
