Tyrrell has always liked to take his share of aggressive shots in the passing game, especially in the playoffs. They were incapable of it last year, no one had to worry about the ball going over their head. This year is different, Long throws a very pretty ball and has been accurate for the most part.
Yes. They perhaps went deep (let it rip) more in certain playoff games or maybe were a more aggressive with their passing approach in certain playoff games, but in 20 post-season games Hamm exceeded 13 attempts five times, usually in close games.
Those 2019 playoff games you listed were by necessity. By that time, Trayanum and Caden Clark were both hurt, and they were really searching offensively. But, usually when Hoban throws the ball in the playoffs, they don't do it with dinking and dunking in mind, they're looking for big plays. They've thrown at least one long TD pass in every state championship game that they've won, and Hamm had multiple TD throws in all 3 of his championship games, 10 total.
Right. As noted, while they typically don’t throw at a high frequency in the post season, they are often more aggressive with those throws, taking shots, etc. I didn’t articulate my point very well.
Hoban fans, how is Jay Crable doing, fitting in, contributing? What do you see for him at the next level?
He's doing what Massillon told him he should be doing.. just somewhere else now.
He threw a 27 yard TD vs STVM last year on a HB pass. I wouldn't be surprised if the now popular pop or jump pass out of the wildcat has at least been put in.
Nice article on his transition from earlier this season. Like Cougarfan said, he's more impactful on D, but has definitely been an asset on offense. He has around 40 catches, almost 600 yds and 4 TD's, and has been a physical presence blocking in the run game.

Hudson mom? No picture? Too bad! The Hudson football people I know don't talk like this... " generational" (what does that even mean).
So Hudson is closed enrollment?
Thanks for the numbers!
Yes.
I didn’t take that original post as an excuse. He didn’t say Hudson wouldn’t show up. But the privates have huge recruiting advantages that are undeniable. The side of the road is littered with undefeated publics that got completely mauled by top privates in the playoffs. Hudson 2014 team was the perfect example. 13-0 (beat Mentor twice) and lost 42-14 to Ed’s. And it wasn’t even that close.
Amen.
Geez - sorry I got the Gedeon timing wrong. I'm glad others, like trojan, see my post for what it is and don't play the "I'm a tough guy" role about this BS.
You forgot about beating Ignatius that year. They are private right? Mentor has shown the way on how to compete consistently with private schools.
Yep. Hudson had a very good win over a 6-4 Ignatius team in the playoffs. That Ignatius team also lost to St Ed by 30 that year. Which just proves my point that the top privates in a given year can amass a roster that makes for a very unlevel playing field.
You got an amen from Squintz for your post. Start a thread in June, or drive to Columbus and petition the OHSAA for separation if it's that big a deal to you. I think posting about "academies" the Thursday before the game is lame. It takes away from the players. I had to go back and reread my post because I didn't recall using the word excuse. I didn't, but I do think it's crap to bring it up now. Also I don't think your Nordonia, Barberton, and Highland examples are very good ones. There's plenty of examples going the other way.......plenty. I'm thinking about changing my handle to Macho Man.
Iggy had 4 D1 players on that team, a future starting QB at BC and 2 players currently in the NFL. It was pretty fun beating that academy.
I agree with you for the most part but most public schools don't the enrollment size of Mentor.
