Hmmm.Sure. That's all that existed at the time and they were undefeated and rated #1 in the polls before it was stolen the next week. How can you possibly be undefeated and rated #1 one week but not in the top 10 the next week when you were idle?? And it wasn't mythical. Before 1972, the OHSAA used the AP poll to define each year's state champions.
I would think that would put him above Lamb and I know Jim Vandegrift coached there a long time prior to that.Brausch 10 seasons @ Lebanon regular season 81-19... 6 Playoff Apperence 9-5 record in playoffs
Barry SchaadLittle Miami- Nate Mahon
Let the program to back to back playoff appearances (when only 8 teams made it) beating Edgewood in 2018. Changed the culture around Panther football. Program had 10 straight losing seasons before he arrived, including only 4 wins in 3 seasons before he took the job.
Coach Martin won the FAVC title outright in 1992. Otherwise, excellent post. That has to be considered the golden era of Panther football.Barry Schaad
The Panthers winningest head football coach in school history boasts a record of 58-38-4, while also holding a six-year seasonal win streak with a record of 46-14. The Panthers claimed three FAVC titles under Schaad's leadership, and this also included four FAVC Players of the Year and three All-Ohio honorees. But Coach Schaad's positive impact didn't end there, the head ball coach also played an integral role in the addition of stadium lights and a Press Box at the original Panther Stadium that existed next to LMHS in Morrow (Current Salem Elementary).
• Career record of 58-38-4 as Little Miami head football coach.
• Six-year consecutive win streak at 46-14.
• Five-year unbeaten streak at home.
• Won three FAVC football titles (Only coach to ever win an FAVC title, outright).
To expand on Coach Dempsey a bit:For Toledo Central Catholic it is definitely the current coach, Greg Dempsey.
Greg is an alum in the class of '88. When he played and into the 90's, Central (as we call ourselves--not TCC) always had a respectable program. We were never great, nor were we ever terrible. Had some teams occasionally state ranked.
Central always had trouble with Toledo St. Francis. We never beat them in my 4 years.
Dempsey took over around 2000 or so. Early on he won the Hall of Fame Game, the Toledo City League championship game. That was a sign that things were going to be different.
He still had trouble with St. Francis until the magic year of 2005. Central then wasnt Central now. He had good players, including one who would play at Ohio St and in the NFL. But overall the team was not a group of superstars. It was just a good collection of kids that he took and won the D2 championship with.
That was the start of his run of major success. He won the D2 title again in 2012 and then beat Joe Burrow for the D3 title in 2014. He lost to Hoban in the D3 title in 2015 and then beat them for the D2 title in 2022. In the years he didnt win the title, he never lost more than 2 regular season games and many times went 10-0 during the regular season.
He has brought Central to football prominence in Toledo.
Game!Your website says that after Massillon played their last game, they planned to call up their friends to "rig" the poll some more to overtake Springfield. They wanted to "fight fire with fire." Then, there was discussion about whether it might be too late and any last minute attempt to rig the poll could be "futile." Those are the written words from your own archivists. Read your own website. And use a dictionary this time...
