No reason not to schedule them since they're the remnants of Lorain Senior and AK.
Sandusky has been playing Lorain off and on last 6-7 years. Streaks won handily this past year
I attended the 2016 game where Lorain gave the Streaks their only regular season loss, 24-23. Lorain won a couple of playoff games that year. They had a running back that was clearly the fastest kid on the field and that's saying something.
As I had mentioned in another post, Ross has played the Steelemen of Lorain which later became Lorain Senior, the Admiral King Admirals, and the Southview Saints. It's time we play the new Lorain High Titans.
I saw Genoa twice last year. He is a good coach.
I did as well and was very impressed. I know some people in the genoa community and they very much liked him as well. I also think he did a very good job, they were playing excellent football down the stretch, and the program is in very good shape there. Not something you often see from a one year coach.
I agree.
All very much in Anthony Wayne Schools...nowhere close to the border with Maumee Schools. Short of the large Stone Co operation going out of business behind Meijer or a large swath of old disused buildings being wiped off the planet around the old Fort Miami School, there is nowhere to develop a large scale housing project in Maumee anymore. They have to rely on move-out recharge for enrollment (see my post a few pages back), which doesn't happen quickly.
The district does have some strange boundaries IIRC. There are parts of Toledo off of Byrne Road and some off of Detroit Avenue as well that are the Maumee district.
School districts are separate political entities.
Yes. Both have the potential to be great jobs. It will be interesting to see which way both programs choose to go.
Yep, one of the goofier district maps this side of Washington Local/TPS around the Douglas/Tremainsville area or the Spencer Sharples area of TPS (only non-contiguous area of a school district in Ohio, where kids are bussed to Rogers HS while residing between Springfield and Swanton), which a whole bundle of craziness in and of itself lol
Went with some friends of mine to the Ohio State vs. Michigan wrestling match a couple of weeks ago.
Washington Township. The little nugget South of the 184 number and the Shoreland Community.
I love that they've been approached multiple times over the years to consolidate with TPS and each of those meetings has gone about exactly as you'd expect. The biggest coup for that district is that Franklin Park Mall ended up in their territory...that has been a ton of added revenue for the last 40 years.
Agree and look at the stark difference between the two and how they are managed. WLS has benefited from being it's own entity.
What about the area off of Detroit avenue where the old Value City used to be? Also, several years ago there was talk of the rec center being developed.
One of the two Value Cities turned into a wedding venue, and the other has next to no land space needed for large scale SFH development (would fit 40 houses at most, and that's probably being aggressive with how oddly shaped that space is)...plus, no way those residents would go for apartments, which would probably be the more effective use of that space. By comparison, we're talking about a 270 home development just popping up again in AW, that has the potential for an influx of 400-500 students in the district, whereas 40 homes would maybe bring in 30 kids...that's the arm race Maumee has lost. The housing developments in the AW district that are coming up are 200-300 homes, each one could bring as many students as are currently enrolled in the entirety of Maumee High School...they're just playing a different game, and have the resources to continue to do it. It's more interesting to me if that district would ever consider splitting (I know it isn't at likely, but it's one of those thought exercises I like to do occasionally). At some point, Moncolva Twp., Waterville, and Whitehouse are all going to have enough people to self-sustain at least into the junior high levels, much like Sylvania has done. With the amount of bussing that may have to be done as their district fills out, the cost/benefit analysis may start skewing towards having separate, and smaller, 7/8 buildings (with enrollments in the 300s) in those dedicated areas to cut down on district transportation costs, plus I'd imagine residents would be happy with more 'local' schools in one of the larger (by land area) school districts in NW Ohio.
Thanks for a great reply.
I'd lean closer to 5
There's just no way we don't end up with the TRAC all over again, this side of town is seeing Columbus like growth. And it's noticeable on Farmers Market days how many families are here compared to other parts of the area. Looks like an invasion of strollersThe only way it doesnt happen in 5-7 years is if Perrysburg and AW split their schools like they did in Pickerington, Westerville, Dublin, Hilliard, etc... (and Sylvania too).I'd lean closer to 5
I think they built the high school to be able to achieve modular growth if needed (like Olentangy Liberty was). Lord knows they got a ton of space left on that property to do it if they need it.
The $250,000 Buckeye homes in PB built 5-6 years ago are selling for almost $450,000 now…
