"Reported the turf at the football stadium will be replaced this summer. Superintendent Bryan O’Hara said the current turf has aged and needs replaced."

Struthers playing Cincinnati dohn prep week 3 at home giving the wildcats the first 4 games at home.
Basically a bye week against a team that isn’t good and a game you don’t get any points from
Struthers will operate as if they’re only playing 9 games in terms of playoffs but also giving a 10th game for the kids to play mainly the younger kids. It’s not ideal but it’s better then nothing I guess

I saw Dohn against Ytown East last year. Brutal. Dohn had 1 athlete ( #5. Apparently back for his junior year). The rest of the team was........ let's just say 'meh'. Dohn was flagged for a penalty when the QB threw a 10-15 yard 'completed' pass to the left guard. But it wasn't a QB scrambling just heaving it to a teammate to avoid a sack. The guard actually ran a route. TWO TIMES IN A ROW!
If you're a parent of a Struthers back up, get ready to witness some serious playing time

I think that can be good for the backups because most likely there will be no jv game that week. That guard got something to brag about to his WR’s tho lol

Maybe 4-6. But 5-5, is a possibility. They could beat Lakeview, Niles, or even Hubbard

Hubbard is def a wildcard, they return a lot from a young team but returning a lot doesn’t always mean those returners are good. Time will tell with them

Wonder if they’re gonna have the same design as the last one^^ Quoting my own post here from about a month ago.

48-14, I see on their website. Five games. I counted about 30 team members on last year's squad. Cats starters should be out early.

They shouldn’t play at all if it doesn’t count in the standings.

Struthers will definitely have a home game in the first round, possible the second, so just getting the in-game reps will be worth it even if there's no computer points away.

It won’t if the quarterback or running back gets hurt (in a pointless game) because that’s the entire offense.
Targeting!

I still think it’s better to have an open week.

Yeah, given the alternative, which is a game that does not count towards the standings I would lean you side. But if the starters do not play and they play back ups for experience against kids that probably aren’t as good as most of JV teams it’s whatever.
I’d think Bayuk would give the starters the first half and let the young kids play the second half

Believe me. That game will be WAY out of hand on the scoreboard before halftime. Put it this way. You guys saw the East/ Struthers game last year. The gap between East and Dohn was MUCH wider than the gap between East and Struthers.
I honestly think Campbell would take Dohn

Treat it like a 3rd scrimmage. Evaluate the first couple ball games, see what 'needs work' and focus on that for several possessions. Put the backups in & let them finish it up.
Well starters need reps, playing them a whole half no matter the score isn’t a cheap shot.

Any game earlier in the season helps. If it were later in the year I woulda said take a bye but not early in the year
I was thinking the same thing. The scrimmages and first couple games should decide, especially the Chaney game.

It’s no different from guests playing a tiny school like py valley, I’m sure they’ll treat it like a normal game and pull the starters when the game gets out of hand like most schools do

Anyone know what college Anthony Carter (Struthers) is going to?
With the new CB numbers released and all but Niles, Struthers, and Hubbard now Division 5, is it time to think about adding Liberty or Crestview or both to this league? Both are higher CB numbers than South Range. Liberty has a rivalry with Girard and Lakeview already and Crestview and South Range could renew theirs. I know that Crestview would love to get out of the MVAC especially now they have to travel all the way to Portage County for some games. Liberty is close in CB numbers to Lakeview, Poland, and Girard. Geographically either makes since to me.
Why would either want to join? They’re in a league that fits there demographics better and have a much better chance to be competitive in the current league. Don’t see this happening anytime soon

All due respect, a lot of Struthers posters are here again another year acting as if they are the clear favorites for the NE8 title. I’ve watched this be the narrative every year from struthers but it doesn’t happen. Just so I am clear and not misleading, didn’t they lose 2 or 3 games last year? I do hope for a challenging league war this year but I don’t see anyone In the NE8 beating my Range, including struthers.

Struthers returns a lot thus making them a favorite to win the league along with South Range. Week 5 will be a great football game.

Oh this guy again, they lost the same place in the playoffs as “your range” to a really good team, as to why I think that since you’re not too bright and don’t know anything but looking at the vindy Saturday morning….
I give Struthers the edge because they return dukes/Braham in the backfield both 1000 yard rushers as well as 4 of the 5 OL and on defense return basically all production outside of pasqerella and Carter.
SR needs to replace their RB and their OL, that’s why I have Struthers over SR right now. That’s not bias that’s just what most people believe outside of you
