Sayer,

we are going to Willie's to watch the ball games tonight... come out if you want.

Coaching News:

Badin is going to announce their new Head Coach today.  Rumor is that Bill Tenore, former TMC player and coach will be named HC. 

MSJ has a new WR's coach..  Joel Lauer, who was the Madison Head Coach (OH) and was 15-25 in 4 years is moving up to coach college ball.  Joel is a Badin HS grad like Bill Tenore.

Thanks for the invite but I doubt I will. The wrestling check was about $300 less than what I thought it would be. I need to start being frugal with my spending.

DC hires new D Coordinator.  Former DC Grad who has been coaching LBs at Manchester the last couple yrs.   Last time Taylor hired an Alum for the DC position it worked well with Baumgartner...who just got back into coaching taking the head coaching job at Montpieller Hhigh School.  that is a tough one taking over program that was 0-10 last year with an average loss of 30-40 pts.

It may be a tough situation for him to walk into at Montpelier, but an improvement on an 0-fer season isn't insurmountable.    All he needs to do is lead the Locomotives over Bryan, and he'll be feted as the reincarnation of Loco Legends, Hobie Krouse and Cletus "Pete" Dreher.     I wish him luck!

Baumgartner has it easy just like Swartz does with the Lions.  All he has to do is win one game & it is already better than the year before.

[70_dc_alum]

will be interesting to see how he does...it cant be any worse he can only make them better.  last years results

Hicksville -  0-35 (L) 
Liberty Center -  0-56 (L) 
Patrick Henry -  8-48 (L) 
Swanton -  6-34 (L) 
Bryan -  8-47 (L) 
Archbold -  22-48 (L) 
Wauseon -  0-49 (L) 
Hilltop -  14-39 (L) 
Evergreen -  0-45 (L) 
Delta -  6-14 (L) 

they need help on the defensive side of the ball, and it will take a few years to get kids developed into more physical players but Adam should be able to scheme them much better than they have had before.  the thing i found interesting was one of the assitant coaches from last year was a priest/preacher or something.  that should be interesting during the first bad practice when Adam lights a few people up!!

[Adam Sayer]

It took them 3 games to score...sounds like they need help on offense too.

[dc_has_been]

Even with a man of the cloth they couldn't even get help from GOD!   Maybe if they bring a Rabbi & a Monk on board they could get something going.

Much of the challenge facing Adam is resultant of demographics.  The NWOAL is the second oldest league in the state, and has remained relatively stable with only Defiance and Napoleon moving up in class since its 1926 inception.

Most of the industrial/commercial base of Williams County is gone (has been a gradual drop-off since the 1970s) and the population has dropped off accordingly.
Coupled with the refusal of the various townships to cede their civic pride in favor of school consolidation has yielded only two league championships since 1980 - Montpelier in 1983 and Bryan's last in 1988.  Eight high schools (five that field gridiron squads) with a county base of less than 40,000 is a tough nut.  Sadly, a similar situation may be coming to Archbold with the shutdown of LaChoy.

Most of Fulton County (except Archbold) escaped this situation as many companies (and workers) have migrated west from Toodleedoo into the Swanton, Evergreen, Delta, and Wauseon districts.  Henry County went through a massive consolidation movement back in the late 1960s and 1970s, reducing nine schools to three - Napoleon, Liberty Center, and Patrick Henry.  With an exception for Kmic's frosh and senior years at Delta, Liberty Center and PH have dominated the league for the past decade.

Again, I hope some stars align for Adam - if not, the pheasant shooting is prime.

What is this...some kind of joke?

[SaintsFAN]

has to be.... everyone knows that would cancel it out.. 

plus I don't know any rabbi or monks who can throw a spiral or do any decent Pass Pro..

[dc_has_been]

What?  You don't like my humor Sayer?

SaintFan-good point. 

[Adam Sayer]

Well, a priest, a monk, and a rabbi walked into a bar and the bartender asked: "What is this...some kind of joke" Your comment reminded me of that. Maybe I've been hanging out with the special ed. kids too much???

I wasn't THAT banged up at Willie's...... was I?  You're comparing me to Special Ed kids?

[dc_has_been]

I only know one Rabbi & Priest joke that my wife loves to tell, but I can't share it b/c I would getting in some trouble with the big guy (Pat)! 
SaintsFan, what's wrong w/ Special Ed kids?  Doesn't the majority of Kentucky kids qualify for Special Ed anyway?
