[joepa66]

Hell New Phila is Dover's crosstown rival and the game is 2 weeks away. It's like the 3rd oldest rivalry in ohio.....and meaningless since the gee I thought they were pacifists Fighting Quakers can't beat Dover and is losing to Cambridge 24-14 a team Dover trashed a couple of weeks ago 45-7 and led at halftime 42-0!

Can't say I'm surprised with this outcome other than it was more one-sided that I thought. I predicted a 7-10 pt Ursuline win. I gave everyone fair warning they are for real!

[joepa66]

I know they are always tough but sheesh I didn't expect anyone to RUN all over Big Red and thought it would be much close....like 6-7 pts.......

[MParris86]

At the high school level, if you have an elite running back playing in front of a good offensive line, its difficult to stop no matter how good your defense might be. I can't remember which thread, but I mentioned the name Akise Teague and he didn't disappoint tonight. Kid is a player and has been for a couple years now.

Tonight was the night of running backs in big games. Harding played Massillon and Demond Hymes (WGH) rushed for 348 against the Tigers' defense....the same one that shut down Steubenville last week.

dude- i might need a new team if this losing continues.....:bang:



someone still needs to answer my question......how does a school with 181 kids field that good of a football team????

[irishmike]

They field a team like that because there are no schools left in Y-town!!!
There's nothing left period, of Y-town.

Teague is special, nice young man, met him this summer at fundraiser, he will make some coaching staff very happy at the next level!

Good luck to both teams the rest of the way!:thumbs:

Go Irish, beat Mooney!:beerbang:

[irishmike]

Teague may end up at YSU, Iowa St., WVU!!! Wow, great player.

Yes i will be in cbus next weekend:thumbs:
FF, take you up on that tailgate offer, or VC, probably come in Friday night!
Let's get the predictem boys together???:thumbs: Would love to meet all, JoPa, Boiler, etc....

Enjoy your weekend all! GL

Go Bucks!

There aren't many good schools left in the Youngstown area, just like Cleveland. If your kid doesn't go to a smaller county school, then the choices are slim. You get great academic prep, safety, a chance, etc. at a good school like Ursuline, Iggy, Ed's, et. al.......so lots of kids are sent there. Ursuline just gets the cream of the crop and no doubt they "emphasize" their football success when attracting kids. So if you get all of the above AND a good football team, what's not to like?! It's no different than why Glenville has been great. Ted Ginn, Sr., stresses academics, how to be a man, and most of those kids are from broken homes and he essentially is their father figure. Y-town it's on a smaller scale because most of the public school programs there are essentially dead.

I think Rayen and Woodrow Wilson both closed in 2007-08, and combined with the old East HS neighborhood. They built a newer building were going to build some newer lower grade buildings but enrollment/population is declining in the area so the plans were junked. So that only leaves public school choices Chaney, East, Liberty and a school they dubbed Choffin and "early college school" were the kids actually earn college credits....I don't they Choffin eve has sports its just an academic center. None of those schools I think it's safe to say, is very competitive and languish in mediocrity at best. But the Y-town area has been depressed since the 70s when the steel mills started closing.

Another choice obviously is Cardinal Mooney besides Ursuline!
