Oh I know my friend. I was there every week. If you are looking for a stiff rebuttal you won't get it from me.Brookfield team was tremendous and I thought about those Niles 60’s teams. All great teams.
1974 Harding team
21 out of the 22 starters or all 22 ran a 5.0 flat or below.
Ziegler Richburg, Hudson, and Valentine were well below a 5.0 flat.
Won the state championship game 40-8. Only reason they lost to Mckinley late in the season is I believe Jim Richburg the QB got hurt.
I was there. Vs brecskville bees and Tom tupa at the Shoe.
That year is very much in question. Here's what MaxPreps has to say about the one man organization, National Sports News Services -The oldest of the national rating systems started in 1927, National Sports News Service (NSNS).
Mooney would've won D1 in '06 & '09. A healthy '07 Mooney squad would make things interesting, but X was very dominant that year.Mahoning
1. 2009 Cardinal Mooney 15-0 D3 State Champs
2. 2010 Ursuline 15-0 D5 State Champs
3. 2007 Cardinal Mooney 14-1 D4 State Runners Up
4. 1999 Poland Seminary 15-0 D3 State Champs
5. 2005 Canfield 14-1 D2 State Runners Up
Those are just the ones that I’m familiar with. A lot of people would say 1973 Mooney is #1, but that was way before my time. The State Championship Mooney teams of the 80’s were also before my time.
2007 Mooney and 2005 Canfield would probably be 1 and 2 if they had been able to stay unbeaten and complete their undefeated seasons with state championships.
Trumbull
1974 Warren Harding Panthers
1972 Warren Western Reserve Raiders
1990 Warren Harding Raiders
1971 Warren Harding Panthers
Tie: 1973 Warren Western Reserve or 2002 Warren Harding Raiders
Barberton’s state title was in 1947. Great team.For Summit County, I'm sure that the 2018 and 2016 Hoban teams would be in the top 5 as well as the 2013 SVSM team. Tough to compare Mogadore because they are so much smaller, but some of their teams from the 1990s might have a case. SVSM teams from the early 1970s, and the Buchtel teams with Ricky Powers should be considered too. I believe Walsh Jesuit has a state title, and Barberton too (but way before the playoff era). 2015 Stow and 2014 Hudson both went 13-1 before losing in the Final 4 to eventual state champion St. Ed's. Lots of great teams to choose from.
2007 Mooney was probably the most dominant team I’ve ever seen. Even more so than 2006 and 2009. If Danny McCarthy had stayed healthy, they probably would’ve won state easily. Maybe not in D1 as you mentioned, but they would’ve made it interesting against St. X.Mooney would've won D1 in '06 & '09. A healthy '07 Mooney squad would make things interesting, but X was very dominant that year.
1974 was year #3 for PlayoffsRichland County, so far as the Joe Eitel era is concerned:
1. 2017 Shelby 13-1 Final Four, lost to 15-0 Steubenville after having a 4th quarter lead, had the highest avg. margin of victory in the entire state, regardless of division (roughly 50-5). From memory, at least 9 games began the 2nd half with a running clock. Led by the current University of Virginia QB, Brennan Armstrong.
2. 2019 Mansfield Senior 13-2 State Runner-Ups, lost to Trotwood-Madison in 2OT after blocking a PAT to force OT. Their star was Angelo Grose, who is a Michigan State cornerback currently. His younger brother is fielding several D1 offers at the moment.
3. 2019 Lucas Cubs 12-3 State Runner-Ups, lost to Marion Local, but kept the score reasonable. Using the ever reliable Transitive Property, they were just three degrees of separation from beating 9-3 Dublin Jerome.
4. 2008 Lexington 11-1, lost to 15-0 Sylvania Southview 38-24. Had big regular season wins, and a UMichigan recruit at QB (he didn't pan out spectacular at the next level, but hardly a slouch).
5. 2016 Shelby 11-2, lost to 13-2 Steubenville (state runner-ups). This game is characterized by Shelby fumbling the ball in Steubenville's redzone for a reverse TD as time expired. Turned a potential 14-7 halftime lead into a 7-15 deficit. Steubenville goes on to lose to Bishop Hartley, just *barely*.
Honorable mention for someone who is too young to recall: 1974 Shelby Whippets. This was the first year the OHSAA had a state playoffs. Norwalk won the state championship that year, but they went 9-1, with the lone defeat coming to 10-0 Shelby (who did not qualify under the much reduced field of playoff qualifiers). I imagine a team like this makes it up there in the top 5, but I don't have enough judgement to say where.

But he got to watch all the games on PPV so he could see just how good teams were all axross the countryThe talk of a national championship is a joke. Those were being picked by one man, Art Johlfs, who ran National Sports News Service, his own one-man organization.
You mentioned the 1961 Massillon WHS twice. (On the list & Not making the list)STARK COUNTY
1934 Canton McKinley
1940 Massillon Washington
1950 Massillon Washington
1961 Massillon Washington
1997 Canton McKinley
Note: all five of these teams were National Champions
Notable State Title teams not making list of Top Five: 1959 and 1961 Massillon Washington; 1981 Canton McKinley
But the post that you quoted mentioned Massillon in it at least twice.I've said NOTHING about Massillon.
Your paranoia is extremely telling.
Wasnt Mansfield and Lucas in 2019 the only two teams from richland county to make the championship gameRichland County, so far as the Joe Eitel era is concerned:
