I believe LB and McComb could be trouble especially if either/or are physical
Northwest Ohio Realignment
- Thread starter ghsknightsfan
- Start date
I don't know the answer, but LB, McComb, Leipsic (moving back to BVC), Pandora Gilboa, and Arlington are all usually physical teams.

I will state I'm mystified about Bellevue and Clyde's reluctance regarding Ross. Today's Ross and Sandusky don't matchup well with Lake's physicality.
To be fair, my comment about Maumee was about all sports, not football in particular. Eastwood and Oak Harbor are clearly the teams to beat in the NBC, and it isn't particularly close...but Maumee has already shown this fall, and will continue to do so in the spring, that they're going to more than likely win or be near the top of the standing in most every non-revenue sport. Their soccer teams aren't particularly good overall, and they may as well be the Amish National Teams with how many sheds they brought over to the NBC this fall for those sports.
I think any objective NLL football fan can see that, by and large, the majority of their teams have been hot garbage for years.
Throw in Pandora-Gilboa who beat McComb badly. Whether a D-V team and two D-VII schools could beat Ross I don't know, but the outcome would be closer than many might think.
No shed.

Also, I want to State these type of communities/schools strike me as hating to lose moreso loving to win. I could be off my rocker, but that's how I see it
I know I wouldn't want to beat one of them and then have to play them in the playoffs.

Fremont St. Joseph is joining the Northern 8 in 2024 to play 8-man. Not a bad or surprising move.

Again, all I have to say is Napoleon who had their handed to them by Liberty Center
So the hunt is on WHO will be the replacement for football in the SBC river. We have had some good conversation on who looks to be interested. Should they just go to ten in the river? Take on Fostoria, Northwood and Arcadia? Arcadia could be solid if they took on Vanlue in a merger?Fremont St. Joseph is joining the Northern 8 in 2024 to play 8-man. Not a bad or surprising move.

Side story, my Senior Year at Ross, Little Giants went down to Lancaster and basically won the Buckeye Central Conference, 18-13. Two weeks later at Arlin in Mansfield, Regional Semifinals, Golden Gales won 42-7. Talk about redeeming themselves
Does anyone know the definition of 42-7? You guessed it.. ..

if the River takes on another school they are going to have to end the double-round robin. It just doesn’t allow for enough non-league games.
Not this year.

Ada played Ft Loramie in a home & home series 15 years ago or so ago. Nice place and facilities

Now it’s official. The problem with these small private schools is that they’re nothing more than all inclusive havens for kids. Actual coaching isn’t a priority as much as parents getting their kids playing time is. It leads to some serious competitive imbalances in sports where they aren’t actually recruiting. I give Calvert a lot of credit for maintaining that consistencyPrioritizing safety, SJCC will move to 8-man football in 2024

No, the skill players at FR would dominate these teams. Great fundamentals, but the athleticism isn’t there

Could the Toledo City League be an option for LB?

Highly unlikely, to say the least. LB belongs in the NBC or NLL.

Don't think so. Imagine the volleyball games where TCL teams don't even score 10 point between all three sets.
I would say more so the NBC than NLL. Just my opinion

Totally understand just looking at a numbers/availability standpoint. If they did it... it would probably be for football only.
Ross couldn't even with the Cardinal.
Calpreps has Liberty-Benton as a 10 point favorite over Ross. McComb as a 12 point favorite. Pandora-Gilboa as a 6 point favorite.
I know Calpreps isn't gospel, but I'd put more money on them being right over 3/4 of Yappi posters who simply see "duhhhhh D2, no way they'd lose to D7 duhhhhh."
I think LB and McComb would absolutely beat Ross this year, meaning that no, Ross wouldn't win the BVC.
Oh God. We saw what happened with Lima joining. Now imagine LB getting in and their girls basketball winning games 95-21 and D5 football winning the league every year.
From an easily available spot standpoint, they'd fit in the NLL. Their best fit is the NBC, but it's questionable whether there's a spot. Maybe if Fostoria really does go SBC it all works itself out easily (except for the NLL, still stuck at 11.)
That would work itself out rather quickly too I'm guessing.
This has always made me chuckle about small town football fans. They are clueless about the size/speed/strength difference between a McComb and a Fremont Ross. I went and watched a Findlay game this year to see Montgomery play. Findlay is a mediocre D1 team and Carey has 1, maybe 2, guys who would start for them. Whole different world.
That's a terrible idea.

They'd get smoked. We played them and beat them. They barely won their league. They were solid but very average team
