High School Football Playoffs?

[Unassisted]

I'll be at the Newark game tomorrow night. A friend of mine coaches for Gahanna.

Lucky you... I'd definitely go see that game if I was there.

Strange situation for those two teams, playing each other two weeks in a row. From what I've read, the Gahanna team was strong early in the season, but they've struggled in the last few weeks. Newark should bring plenty of fans, since it's a short trip and they've been waiting 30 years to return to the playoffs.

I'm listening to the Licking Valley game right now on what may be the worst streaming feed I've ever heard. (On for 10 seconds, off for 5 seconds, over and over again.) Plus, every other commercial is for a crematorium in Dover.

My alma mater, Fairfield, is probably going to get slaughtered by St. X. Although, they have won 8 in a row losing only to Wayne and Centerville the first two games of the year, and not by much. Who knows.

I think Colerain is going to win state again. If they played St. X in a rematch I think they'd get the better of them this time.

West Virginia native here, so I don't have a horse in theis race. I teach for a school that sends a lot of kids to St Xavier and I live in Fairfield so I'm kind of interested in that game (my wife is a Fairfield alum as well). My alma mater in West Virginia--Williamstown--just broke the state record with their 45th consecutive regular season win. If they beat Parkersburg Catholic tonight they complete their 4th consecutive undefeated season and wrap up the #1 ranking.

What year for your wife? And where in FF do you live. I lived there almost my entire life. I moved last summer.

My wife graduated in '97. We currently live in Timber Hollow just off of Mack/Gilmore/whatever they call it at that point. We moved here from Columbus in August and decided to rent for a while before buying again; you can't beat living less than a mile from Jungle Jim's!

She's a little younger than me (about 5 years). Any older siblings?

My wife and I lived in Timber Hollow the first few months after we were married. I lived there for about 5 months before we were married. Nice place, we liked it. That puts you right across the street from the jail, er...new high school. And I REALLY miss Jungle Jims. It's the best grocery store I've ever been to. I went there all the time.

Nope, no older siblings...just two younger brothers. You're totally right about the high school: it looks like a gigantic prison. I swear southwest Ohio builds schools that look like jails and jails that look like schools.

They play good football up in that neck of the woods. Good luck to all the teams.

Mason is hosting the Colerain-Glen Este game. We're about equi-distant between Glen Este and Colerain. They're expecting 8000+ fans at the game (SRO). My wife and I are working the concession stand. Wish us luck.

Good Luck Roy, and Go Trojans! Hate to go against the alma mater, but I wouldn't take GE plus 35 at this point. GE is by far the smallest D-I team in the area.

Sorry, I only checked the ohio HS scores.

Congrats to Newport CC too.

No Beechwood or Highlands and NKY still got them a title.

In other KY scores:

Trinty upset St. X in 4A

Lex Cath finally got their title in the Boyle/Highlands league, or as some others know it, 3A.

Don't have a clue about 2A

All 3 of those are privates as well. Unfortunately, the publics are getting more fuel.

Williamstown lost to Wheeling Central in the championship 35-20 last night.

I know; I'm sick and tired of losing in Wheeling. They should just rename the State Title game "Yellowjackets vs. New State Champs" from now on. Does anyone know what the West Virginia state record for most consecutive title games lost is? Grrrr...I'm getting tired of going undefeated only to lose in the finals.

Impressive showing by the city of Steubenville (pop. ~20,000), getting 2 teams to the finals.

I'd like to think that D-VI SCC left a lot on the field after last week's close win vs. Newark Catholic. The Steubenville Big Red impressively rolled up Licking Valley a couple of weeks ago.

Here in Texas, there are 2 more weeks of HS playoff football.
