St Xavier 2017 Football

Regarding JV, I suspect the big impact will be how many sophomores get meaningful playing time in the varsity game. That is a very talented group of players with several in the mix for PT. If it ends up that most aren't getting many varsity game reps then I'd think they would play in JV game. J.Kirby is going to start at guard and looks good. the other sophs are battling but not in the starting lineup.
 
You will not see a better thrown ball (that was probably 45 in the air) in high school or even college this year. That throw had a wow factor to it.

Per Specht, Wolf may be the best QB he's coached.
Poise, talent, arm strength, mobility, decision making, read progression, competitiveness, toughness, work ethic, holds the door open for the elderly......
 
Is week 8 still TBA? The cynic in me says that it is TBA because Specht may be waiting to see how the season goes before deciding whether to play the game. If that game could literally prevent us from hosting a game on the playoffs (or god forbid, getting in) just by playing, do we simply cancel? Do we have them come down and play our JV only?

Is there another possibility - i.e. finding a better opponent?

My personal opinion is that given the team this year, there is no reason not to forego a week 8 game completely and use the bye. Having said that, if the game happens, it may end up looking like a JV lineup anyhow. Any thoughts?

On another note, I assume that Moeller game at Lockland is set in stone? Man, I loved it when Moeller used to schedule that game at Nippert. Yet another attendance attrition downside...

Should be fun watching him compete for POY award with McBride and Khayo. GBM
 
Fox 19 has the top 19 football players in the Tri-State. So far, they have had 2 Colerain players, 1 offense and 1 defense. They are down to the #9 player tonight and I don't think there has been 1 GCL player picked. I am interested in who they think are the top 9 players left.

I vote bye in week 8.
Especially based on seeing video footage of their rumble with LaSalle last year
 
Wolf, Bacevich, Jefferson, Wittrock, Specht, Childs, Kreimer, Mesue and Kiessling

All will most likely be deserving candidates but I highly doubt they will name more than 2 players from St X (three max) I think it will be Wolf and Bacevich with Specht an outside chance if they pick 3 players from X
 
Offense play ratio 70/30 pass to run with half of the passes going to Specht and Wittrock and a quarter to Kreimer and Shamsi with the other quarter to the RBs (Fox, Payne, Newman), Lange, Stockman, Grause and McIntyre
 
Still no Bombers in the top 19 on channel 19. At least the GCL got some love; Brendan Bates is number 8. I still think that Vann, Hawkins and Carman have yet to be called. Maybe the GCL is having a down year.

They should try to sign up West Clermont Wolves, now that they're D1, however Wolves week 8 might be signed to league play that week. I'm too lazy to look.
 
They play Loveland that night. Joeeitel.com is your friend.

Thank you! I figured they would already have their schedule set at this point in the year. I'll keep that site in mind. My school computer wouldn't allow me on Cincinnati.com, which is what I used to use. I don't know why but wouldn't work.
