I mean Brookfield has indeed moved on, LaBrae is the major rival now for football and has been now for a decade. Brookfield and Hubbard’s staffs are still close and the game means more to the older generations in both towns. Does the draw of a large gate look good for the first game? Yes of course. But I can promise you Brookfield did not pay any money to Hubbard to come play the game. This isn’t Ohio State paying YSU to come play week 1.
Both are back and staying. Team was young last year, really only played 2 seniors, although 1 of them was Kirila who set the single season tackle record which will be tough to replace. All together Brookfield should be better than last year, especially with the RB, Rico Smith, being a year older
You better check your facts again that Hubbard is going to play at Brookfield for "free".
I mean Brookfield as a school and an athletic department do not have the money to waste on paying an opponent to show up and play, there were other options and decided to go with Hubbard.
That doesn't make any sense, visiting teams get part of the gate or a certain amount of money agreed to in the contract. Again, are you saying Hubbard is going to Brookfield to play for "free"?
That's probably true Spread, but Nancy would never play an away game and get "zero dollars for it" like Ohio Guy is stating about Hubbard going to Brookfield but Brookfield can't afford to pay Hubbard.
This game is a good "gate" game against two old rivals. I can't see anything being bad about this at all.
…… something something Trumbull county football
Last I knew Hubbard doesn't play "charity games", even at Brookfield.
That’s the reason Struthers is playing east at east this year while playing Chaney at homeLast I knew Hubbard doesn't play "charity games", even at Brookfield.
It was asked a couple of years ago why Hubbard would play Youngstown East at Rayen Stadium, the answer was money
Absolutely...
She stinksGive her a break, will ya?
She's obviously under a lot of stress.
No.Give her a break, will ya?
She's obviously under a lot of stress.
Better hope a couple of the players aren’t gonna jump ship because of this, there’s been rumors already swirling about a couple really good ones hitting the door
The Hubbard Faithful and "their older generation" have moved on years ago on this rivalry.
I can't imagine anyone leaving other than a couple of 8th graders.
That is precisely what she did. Sit on her hands. But Dennison didn't come through for her, so that was just wishful thinking.
No one else wanted the job the last time it came up.That is precisely what she did. Sit on her hands. But Dennison didn't come through for her, so that was just wishful thinking.
Wilmington picked up Northern Bedford County which is a pretty good team. So, it's not like they were ducking the Cats.
Why in the heck she can't plan OOC games in advance for 2 or 4 year contracts is beyond me?
Definitely need a new AD.
Confirmed?
If that’s true girard will struggle to win many games
Not confirming but I heard this yesterday as well.
Hard to believe that Girard would sit still and let him go. Great athlete.
I'm not sure on the situation, except I know he is still at Girard, but maybe he is moving to Warren in the summer. He can't just transfer there his senior year. He would have to sit half the season. Wouldn't make sense
