Here's what I can surmise from looking at Arbiter:
I believe I saw on the Open Weeks thread that Canton South is hosting Lakewood in week 2. Yes, the Lakewood where St. Edward HS's mail is sent, not the one east of Newark.
Would have loved to see a CS/Dover matchup.
Last year was the time for it, I wish AD's were more willing to schedule one-off matchups when the situation is right
I’ve seen accounts that were created yesterday, but rarely posters that were born yesterday.
Whoa. Those are some tough teams. St Clairsville, Streetsboro, Carrollton, West Holmes, Wooster, and Lakewood!?!?! I won't open Pandora's box on scheduling again, but let's just say that looking at all of the games laid out . . . some of these teams are "not" like the others.
Looking forward to the three team melee between Manchester, Tuslaw, and Sandy Valley in Week 2. I kid, I kid
Triway’s first 2 weeks look rough for a rebuilding team. West Holmes (recent deep playoff runs) with a Big10/SEC RB recruit and then Highland with the division 5 player of the year at RB. Better be able to stop the run!
Tuslaw playing the Smithies and Chipps is cool but it's missing a key old rival. I know it's beating a dead horse (bad Mustang pun).Whoa. Those are some tough teams.

Full disclosure - I LOVE the Wing T. That said, it's a tough commitment. For places like Clinton Massie, it's in their blood and that's who they are. They could have a Manning at QB and folks would still be upset about changing the offense. Connecting it to the PAC, Johnstown, the team Orrville beat in title game a few years back, was a true T team. And Coach Wakefield more than made it work all those years at Perry.
I agree 100% and Tuslaw has an adult problem. I don't blame the kids. It starts at the Tuslaw admin level.
The wing T scheme requires a level of toughness that Tuslaw hasn't had for some time. There would need to be a serious change in mentality within the program for that to be effective. Not saying that can't happen, but it would require quite a change.
1. That first line was (to quote Seinfeld) "GOLD! THAT'S GOLD, JERRY!"
Would agree that the girls basketball coach has been arrogant and assembled talent from AAU program that calls CVCA home. Also true that big donor to field house is father of one of their seniors. Certainly not like that in football though.
I don't necessarily have an issue spreading teams out from a formation standpoint, but it's more about what you do once you are there. I would prefer if they would go back to the power spread type offenses they were running in Held's early years when they had Combs and Brewer at QB and then in one of Gulling's first seasons with Woods at QB. Putting one of your bigger and better athletes at QB and featuring them in the run game can help neutralize the talent gap while also not reverting back to an ancient offense that kids might not be thrilled to play in, particularly when they already have a number of athletes in the school choosing not to play football.
Nice call @Stark Sports ! I couldn't remember the names, but that's exactly what I was thinking watching those teams with Marthey at RB. Teams over played the run so much because they only had 1 person to watch.
If I would have known people were clamoring to discuss the offensive philosophy of a program that is 5-23 over the last 3 seasons (with 3 of those wins against the same team), I would have jumped in a lot sooner.
Hahaha! I’m still thinking about the Combs reference. Remember thinking “that dude looks like an athletic nose tackle!” then watched him play and realized he played qb like an athletic nose tackle!
Hey, you know people still love talking about the Silver Stretch offense of the bad 1980's Detroit Lions, too.
I get what you are saying, however girls basketball at the end of the day maybe breaks even. It doesn't make sense financially to waive tuition dollars to get athlete's in a sport that if it makes any money I'm sure its very miniscule. I'm not saying CVCA doesn't have some advantages that others don't but handing out free tuition isn't happening on that side of Wyoga Lake road.
