Somehow someway I am not going to want to know what is an Ahiga Donut...pretty sure Dunkin Donut and Krispy Kreme don't sell them...so you must be able to buy them at ACME...same place where Wily Coyote buys all his contraptions that fail with The Road Runner yet work to catch him....lol

The guessing game has been fun, there's actually two parts to this so I'll give you the first one. The Navarre/Brewster/Beach City/Justus/Little bit of Massillon Falcons have announced they're moving on from the man who allegedly shoved CVCA out the door, Nate Held, as their Athletic Director. Now the question is, why would they do that? What does it mean? What's going on in Johnny Cash land?

During the first year of the Mick Era at Northwest they were so full of themselves that they thought they were going to stroll into France Stadium on a Friday night and run rough shod of the Panthers. So confident they were they they intended to plant the Northwest flag on the 50 in a post game celebration. The football Gods as well as the ghosts that inhabit that field weren't having it and the Panthers not only took Northwest to the woodshed but Northwest put a big ol Donut on the scoreboard while Manchester I believe put 40+ up. @Raylan_Givens coined the phrase the next day and its just part of PACtion™lore as anything else.

It could be a simple retirement....but you never know. Let's say hypothetically Held and/or some others in The Flock were pushing the IVC.

If I'm a Board Member, and I see that Fairless is in a conference with nearby schools basically all in the SR 93/US 30 geographic footprint, and competing quite well, I'd be asking what is so da*n appealing about trips to Gnadenhutten or West Lafayette?

The alleged CVCA issue....CVCA was going to leave on their own....maybe some other schools behind the scenes were not happy with how that all came down with the alleged Fairless "shove 'em out NOW or WE'RE LEAVING" effort, but went along with it anyways because....."go along to get along" is the easy way out and they knew CVCA was going to eventually leave anyways. Perhaps that got back to some Fairless leadership and they didn't like it. Just guessing. I could be really wrong.

Coach Kotite has described AHIGA previously, it was simply a rallying cry for Northwest. Last Fall, I put together my list of Top Ten games at the old France Stadium, I had this one at #3. That season ended up being Koach's last year at the helm as coach and Principal.

3. Oct 18, 2019 vs. Northwest – You knew this one was coming – The AHIGA Donut Game. At that time, Manchester’s season was in a spiral with a 4-3 record, having lost to Tuslaw (4-6 record), Triway (6-4 record), and defeating Fairless (4-6 record) by only 7 points prior to this match-up. With NW, Orrville, and CVCA to close out the season, how could a team led by Ethan Wright and Hunter Foster possibly finish 4-6? Would this be Koach’s only losing season ever? This game became the ultimate in the Manchester Mystique (or as others call it, getting homered). This team had many sophomores in the trenches, and at QB as well, but what transpired starting that night was unreal. Northwest was confident they would blow out the Panthers, they had a midfield post-game flag planting ceremony all planned out. But not so fast my friend, Manchester dominated to the tune of a 39-0 victory, therefore the infamous AHIGA Donut Game. Manchester ended up defeating Orrville and CVCA and finally lost in the regional finals to some school named Kirtland. Some folks joke about Koach being named Coach of the Year in the state that year; I agree that there was an element of “lifetime achievement”, but how that team got turned around in week 8 comes back to his credit.

I can't think that Fairless would change leagues as Nate Held is going out the door and say "here Mr. or Mrs. New Athletic Director. Enjoy starting in a whole new league in your first year on the job."

I say it means The Silent Flock is staying in PACtion™.

As soon as I caught wind of the Northwest flag planting plan I knew that the football Gods were not going to allow that foolishness to take place in that old dilapidated, crusty stadium with the nasty water trough on the visitor sidelines. That is the only time I "cheered" for Manchester during the regular season 😂.

That sounds about as tuff as a car dealer water fountain or cup of coffee while waiting in the dealership lobby.

Dam it @Rich Kotite you are a freaking prophet!! I took a position as a Project Manager with a Roofing and Siding company. Essentially I work with the customer during the claims process to keep the insurance company honest and make sure that when the insurance companies try and weasel out of paying claims that are the legitimate work of weather related failures to the home. Insurance adjusters lack tuffness.

I was thinking you whacked people over the head with some siding.

When I go to Wilmington, I take US 421 from Greensboro. That adds about 20 minutes, but bypasses that I 40/I 85 stretch. I do take 40 back at night.

Greensboro to Wilmington - Rural (Future I 695)

I haven't done I 73/US 74 though it looks to take the same amount of time as going 421. Going to Raleigh, the middle option below works best for me.

I've made that 220/73/74/130 run to Ocean Isle from Roanoke. If I know I'm going to be driving at peak times, that's the route I'll take. It adds a few minutes, but avoiding that Raleigh-Durham traffic can save hours.

Absolutely. I'd rather burn 15 minutes each time than sit on a freeway. The 73/85/840 loop is a god-send, practically eliminating the need to get on 40.
