I remember 2003 being pretty solid. Had a classic OT game against Bellevue at Community Stadium rallying back from down 28-7 and it took a 2-point conversion from Bellevue to walk it off

Actually we won’t be calling him a bad coach. I already know gow good of a coach Valentine is. If he cant turn Madison around then no ones going to. However I have a good feeling that he will. Who knows if it will be this season or not. I can say that im hearing alot of positivity coming from the Rams program. I said from day one that Madisons last coach wasn’t the guy for the job. If everyone buys in quick and puts in the work Madison could be decent this year. Look what happened when Madison Got the new Basketball coach. Im glad Ontario took that one off our hands. I couldn’t have been more excited when I heard he was leaving lol.

Valentine will have his work cut out for him. 5-5 & playoffs is quite a lofty goal considering...
5 wins would be 5x more than they've had in their last 50 games (1-49). Their lone win?
Akron North in 2018. Akron North's record over their last 50 games? 1-49.
I'm wishing the Rams the best of luck. Sincerely, I am. However, we need to keep the above
facts in consideration. I'd hate the fan base to get down on him if he doesn't have immediate
success.

Madison actually has two wins lol. They beat Mansfield Senior two years ago 13-7. Also I believe their record was actually 2-45 with 2 games canceled last year and 1-8 in 2020

Touche. Good point. Like a buffoon, I was looking at the regional page and didn't click the Madison link. Guess next time I talk trash, I need to get my s--- together.

Besides the point lol what he’s trying to say is that they have sucked and been one of the worst teams in the state. Only up from here Madison nation.

Does anyone know anything about this years New Philly team? How many do they return on each side of the ball. I know they were just ok last year.

Well they better be improved by a lot if they are going to beat West Holmes or Mansfield. They didn’t beat a single team with a winning record. Best win was against Canton Central Catholic. Also looks like they lost a couple of their better players from past years team.

Pay no attention to bucky, he is a troll. Quakers did lose a few good players. Returners are good but no real “studs” that can carry a team like WH has. Coach is entering his second year (ever) so it is unknown if he is capable of building his own program or last year was left over from Dennison. Their record last year may have been so-so but the 5 losses were to teams with a total record of 58-8, including 1 state champion. Just not good enough to get over the hump. Looking forward to getting back into the Cardinal Conference, but do not expect them to challenge for the league title with what West Holmes has coming back.

Does New Philly return their QB?
They might end up 3rd this year
Don’t believe what Dover people say ?

Agreed that Phila did lose to some very good teams- Chardon, Dover, Canfield, Steubenville, and Hubbard were some of the best teams in region 9 last year, with some of them being the best in D3. Because of this, their record was a bit misleading last year.

Yes their QB returns from last year.

Minus the state title game, New Philly gave Chardon one of their closest contests of the season. That's one helluva schedule they played last season.
NP will definitely up the football level in the OCC. Even in a down year. Mt Vernon and Lexington have never been consistent football schools. Madison has been down for years. Ashland has been maybe the most consistent until now. And Mansfield, West Holmes and Wooster have had ups and downs with success. NP will be a steady option as a favorite every year.
A few interesting things I noticed looking back at the OCC.
1. Every member has one at least 1 (full or shared) OCC title in football.
2. Ashland and Wooster each have 8 titles ( Shared or Outright)
3. Madison is the only OCC school to not have an outright title (shared in 05-06 with Orrville and 12-13 with Mansfield and West Holmes)
4. Ashland has the longest streak of OCC championships with 3 in a row from 2015-2018 (all were shared titles)
Overall a pretty balance conference in football spanning 19 years. Looking forward to year 20.

When did Mount Vernon win a football title?
From what I see of the 9 current and past members of the OCC, in the two major money sports 8 schools have won/shared football titles and 7 of the schools have won/shared basketball titles.

Always right, unless I'm wrong
That's what I was thinking too. Maybe of the "originals" everyone has won one.
Forgive me, Mount Vernon has not won a title in football yet. I sometimes forget they are in the league. All the original schools including Orrville and Clear Fork who are no longer members have won football titles.

Doesn’t surprise me. We all knew West Holmes was going to be good again. I think Mansfield will knock them off this year. Game between those two last year was really good. Couple mistakes at the end cost them a game that they dominated.
