I have a 'feeling' it's going to be:

East = Wesley
South = MHB
North = NCC
West = UWW

UMU with a #2 Seed in a season where they are undefeated?  Blasphemy!  LOL

HA HA HA HA!  The guru has spoken.....book it!

The success formula is also elusive at the High School Level:

Only 11 high schools in Ohio have been to 20 or more post season football playoffs. Mogadore is one with 24 appearances. Only Cincinnati Moeller (29), Newark Catholic (31) and Ironton (28) have more.

Having worked with Mogadore youth for years and high school conditioning I can tell you there is only about a 15 minute break allowable every year if you want to stay on top.

Larry might think 15 minutes is extravagant.

BTW Success in the NFL means you buy free agents and use the rest of the league as a farm system

Yeah that's worked out real well for the Redskins and Cowboys.

Jerry Jones was an outlier in that thought.

For those that remember our discussion of "all-conference" in the OAC and the subsequent high school selection process and how stupid the NE Buckeye Conference is?  Well the NBC's all-conference team was released and there are five (5) 1st team, one (1) 2nd team and one (honorable mention) QB's in the eight (8) team league......   

1st team QB's were from:  Alliance, Carrollton, Canton South, Louisville, Minerva
2nd team = Northwest
3rd team = Marlington

Taking nothing away from the first team guys, because they're all good players, but come on!  7 of 8 teams place their QB's on the all-conference team?  That's just plain stupid.

How would you like to be known as the one guy that DIDN'T make all conference!!

This is a very good Mount team but also overall the youngest LK has ever had.

Shark,

Have you, or anyone, quantified that this IS the youngest team LK has ever had.?  My gut tells me that it isn't but I would really like to know how it stacks up with other younger Raider teams.  If it is the youngest, this IS LK's finest "hour".

Wait.......B-W players have a locker in the visitors locker room?

How is that possible, and what does that mean?

BW's locker rooms are for both the varsity and the JV. it is the visitors locker when we are playing someone, but during the week it belongs to the JV team.  This isnt the first time things have been stolen from the lockers.  It was a constant problem when I was in school due with high school teams using both varsity and jv locker rooms.  But usually there are a few sophomores and freshman who dress varsity that are in that JV room that need to clear out before the visitors show up.

Im sure that LK will take care of it if he finds out about it.  I also heard from some people outside the locker room during the game that apparently someone left their game plan behind in the locker room and Mount was using it during the game.  Of course that is a huge mistake on BW's part if true.  We were very diligent when I was there to make sure lockers were locked and nothing was left behind.  Hopefully that doesnt happen again. 

I am not real concerned about the play book anyways, you  need to perform on the field no matter what the other team knows about you.  But I hate hearing about people breaking into lockers.  Mount is a class program, but that doesnt mean that its impossible for someone on the team to do something wrong.

I'll take the GWOC! 3-1 DI 1-0 DII. I doubt any conference  in the state can top that.

I did hear that in terms of starters that this team has the most sophomores and freshman that LK has ever started. I personally don't remember a younger overall starting group. As HS Coach said there isn't much of a junior class. It is possible that there has been a starting lineup with fewer seniors but none with as many sophomores and freshman starters (once again due to the slim junior class). Maybe HS Coach or others can confirm.

Sorry for the double post.

Hmmm, off the top of my head would be 1994 for a team this young.  Especially at O-skill positions and along D-line.  I'll try do so some research and get back to you.   Next guess would be 1998, but I seriously doubt it.  The year Augie ran all over us ('99?) the D-line was young but not this young.
