Unfortunately, the Columbus district dominates in Athens for years for the most part The eastern districts just doesn’t have the horses to beat the Columbus teams at the Convo
Who wins D2?

Made it to the Stroh center for the first time last night. What a great place to watch a game.
Very impressed with Lutheran West. They dominated and controlled the game against Sandusky.
Van Wert was very impressive as well, beat a good Rossford team.
Saturday should be interesting

Cousin played on that '70 team that won it all. "69 team got beat in the state semis. Great to see someone else here is as old as me
. This year's team is good enough to win it, but not as dominant as that '70 squad. (27-0 and beat 25-1 Rossford in the finals).

That is absolutely correct. The same Lutheran West team that beat Saint Ignatius by 20. Mentor by 18. Gilmour by 16 or so. Shaker by double digits. And Maple Heights who had a huge win streak at the end of the season. That would be them.

The same one throwing alley oops off of baseline inbounds plays against a team that came in with one loss…they’re not bad. Unlike Sandusky, Van Wert won’t try to run with them or take terrible shots. Not sure they can hold up against West’s ball pressure for 32 minutes, but Aidan Pratt is one of the most competitive HS athletes I’ve ever seen.

just checking, thanks for the run down. In that case, VW might want to save the gas money and just stay home.

Gilmour Academy HC Dan Decrane previously was HC at Bishop Ready.
If both teams advance today they will face off in state semifinals on St Patricks Day which would be kinda cool.
We’ll see how it shakes out.

Lutheran West is an impressive team.
They have a decent shot at winning it all IMO.
LW did beat up on defending D2 Runner Up Gilmour although GA was really limited with injuries much of the regular season.
If a now healthy GIlmour can get by Buchtel today and return to Dayton for the 2nd straight year it would be quite an accomplishment with all the adversity this season.
GA’s 1-2 senior punch of Moulton and Rose may just be able to keep ‘em going.
We’ll see.

Buchtel is on a roll. Would love for them to bring the trophy back to Akron.

I remember watching that game. What a great win. All those practice shots off the sides of the barn really paid off. (Sarcasm alert)

Always been that way as long as there were 4 divisions. Lexington played at 10:30 or 10:45 in there 89-57 state championship win over West Geauga in 1989.
Fun team to watch. Very impressive, well-coached team.
I was really impressed with them at BG. I was only there when they played Sandusky, but they were big, athletic well coached. I would assume that would be a good one.

I had heard that CJ had some transfers related to the UD coaching staff but didn’t know the story til I saw it by chance on the Spectrum channel. The Dayton womens head coach has three sons..George Washington 3 Michigan commit , a Junior and a Freshmen on the team and the Head coach has a son Micha? Quite a haul.

I wasn't able to get off for the Bishop Ready game but I bought my parents tickets for Friday's game. I hope they can pull it off. If so, I am definitely going to make the trip for Sunday's Championship game.
