Three weeks in ... do we know anything yet about this region?
Yep, outside of Lasalle it sucksThree weeks in ... do we know anything yet about this region?
Could Turpin or Kings be kind of a sleeper in this region? Obviously they can’t beat LaSalle.Three weeks in ... do we know anything yet about this region?
Always appreciate Zeeman's well-thought-out posts.
It's well thought out. He just jumped to the punchline.
What kind of sleeper do you mean Turpin or Kings could be? They are clearly 2 of the top 4 teams in the region (which isn't saying much) and will each 100% lose to LaSalle. Nothing sleepy about that, it's right out there in the open and don't think anyone is going to dispute it.
With the playoff expansion, I'd think they would easily be in at 4-5 with the IMG game not counting in the harbins. 3-6 would probably be fine as well IMO.Does LaSalle make the playoffs with 4 wins?

Just glancing at the list of teams in the region, outside of LaSalle and a few others that are probably a few notches below them (Kings, Turpin and maybe Anderson and Harrison?), there probably isn't much else in this region that could contend for anything.
Dayton area the schedules the teams in this region play are awful compared to what the teams listed above play, especially LaSalle. It's hard to tell how formidable somebody like a Piqua is in comparison. I wouldn't really be surprised and might even expect to see a second round game where LaSalle demolishes an undefeated or one loss team that's a top-3 seed.
They might have two games on their schedule IMO where they might face any real resistance. I would expect them to go undefeated, but there's going to be a lot of question marks until they lineup against somebody from outside that league. I would think they should be fairly good for D2, but I don't think they'll be prepared at all to play against better competition. There are a lot of teams in that league that probably range from very bad to very pedestrian for D2.Piqua is a mystery to me. I've seen La Salle play a couple playoffs games at their place and it's a really nice facility. It's hard to imagine they don't have a formidable program with digs like that. But they sure haven't been a factor lately.
That was Dunbar's only win so far as they are 1-2 with the two losses to DI Wayne and DI Northmont.Gut reaction, but I would be surprised if Piqua doesn't win by at least 3 scores and more than likely by a running clock.
Both of Xenia's wins so far were against teams that are terrible. Dunbar beat Beavercreek by roughly the same margin as Xenia, and Tecumseh nearly put a running clock on Fairborn.
LaSalle's facilities are garbage compared to most of the teams in region 8. Not sure what is so impressive about it. Their strength of program is solely rooted in the ability to recruit the region with impunity.Piqua is a mystery to me.

Learn to write and you won't be so misunderstood. So sorry you are so sensitive.Reading comprehension is not your strong suit, huh? I was talking about seeing La Salle play at Piqua's stadium and wondering why they weren't a formidable program with those facilities.
It seems your ability to form a rational thought is also lacking. You'd think a school that can "recruit the region with impunity" would have better facilities than La Salle does so that they could attract these "recruits." It's a wonder they ever lose a game with such access to all-star team formation.
You should really try harder.
Learn to write and you won't be so misunderstood. So sorry you are so sensitive.
Yes its a wonder, but the competition for the pool of recruits is strong. Maybe a better facility and program would net a better result.
I think you both should keep this argument going. Using words like impunity and rube was very refreshing compared to the normal you are dumb and you're idiot comments that tend to dominate the forum. Keep up the good work gentlemen.Well, that's a better try but you still fall short. There was no mystery as to what I was talking about unless you're a true rube. Do you have anything to add about the region aside from crying about better programs?
Explain what you mean by garbage. The stadium has field turf and seats 8,000 total combining both sides.LaSalle's facilities are garbage compared to most of the teams in region 8.
Ghetto location with no parking. Poor access to stadium seating with limited room around concession and restrooms. Pretty straightforward. Not even close to the facilities offered by other schools in the region. Sorry, just the facts.Explain what you mean by garbage. The stadium has field turf and seats 8,000 total combining both sides.

Agree that parking is a problem since you have to park on the street, also agree with long lines at concessions and limited restroom facilities. The only people who can park in the school lots are season ticket holders who get parking passes. The school is located in Monfort Heights which could hardly be called ghetto. Have you been to Elder's stadium called the "pit" . Now that is ghetto in Central Price Hill. You also have to park on the street there, but they are not region 8 but region 4, so let's not talk about them.Ghetto location with no parking.

For a lot of people, anything that isn't new build that was a cornfield a generation ago is ghetto.I actually liked Lasalle's atmosphere and stadium when I have watched games there. I know the away bleachers could use some updating but I very much liked it. That area isnt "nice rich suburbia" but its not "ghetto" either. Pull to Trap is a SWOC guy (Edgewood I think) who thinks anything in the city is ghetto. Parking was the only issue at Lasalle and their stadium. But you find that a lot in Cincinnati schools. I think for a playoff game I parked at a church and was bussed in.
