Miners host Marion Local........ from Ohio. in week 1. A huge task to open the season. CANTON — The winning streak continues for Marion Local. The Flyers won their 48th consecutive game and took home their third consecutive Ohio high school football state championship with a 38-0 win over Dalton in the OHSAA Division VII finals at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium on Saturday. Marion Local has won 14 OHSAA state championships, most out of any program in Ohio. The Flyers take home the Division VII trophy after winning the Division VI state championship last year and Division VII in 2021.

Good for him! Congrats!

I’ve just been super busy this year. Trying to hike 500+ miles before the year ends. Still read through the stuff from time to time

Shelbyville is one possiblity, i am not sure about Greenwood, I know they were in talks to join before the split up. logically it makes sense.

Amen to that!

I hate that a local school can't offer both Mechanical Engineering and FCS football like they did 25 years ago.

Sounds like that DeLong kid made a decision based on maturity. I don't know, but I think if I had a chance to speak to his dad, I'd tell him that he had done well raising that kid. I mean ultimately what is going to pay the bills, right? Maturity wins.

I must admit....the one GO DEEP (game-winning play) and little sisters of the poor won them a semi-state. But they can make themselves even better....hope they don't listen to me lol. I hear the DeLong kid has decided to pass up multiple scholarship offers to follow his older brother into Mechanical Engineering locally. The guaranteed internship and industry connections were more valuable than the scholarship dollars in his view. It appears that football needs some kids more than they need it. I'll be in the corner sobbing if you need me. Don't ever marry a girl who is a math wiz.

It's good to be the king. Um, democracy and capitalism. Errr, Republic, and Mixed economy.

According to Harrell's website, Jasper was something like 13-4 (or close to that on a quick skim) against MC in the last 20 years or so. Reitz may have a winning record against Jasper, but they aren't a small school and haven't played all that many times. BTW, good to see you back on the GID..

With the way HH runs an offense who knows lol. The best athlete on the team is usually the QB so maybe I just assumed he was QB when recalling him playing

Kenton wasn’t a QB but definitely a game changer. Might be thinking of Sigler at QB and his running ability? Or both?

I would bet Mt. Carmel does without looking

Not many schools or coaches have winning records against Jasper, especially smaller schools.

I could easily say Brady Allen or any of the other Gibson Southern QBs….but when it comes to QBs that were just “That dude” and unforgettable… Kenton Crews, Heritage Hills (2012-2016?) His stats probably were not anything crazy but that dude put the fear of god in me. GS runs up tempo offenses…I was praying for GS to milk the clock so he wouldn’t get the ball in his hands. it’s a decade later and I still think about that dude every time GS plays HH

Hmm, so it's government that is the problem with government education. Color me shocked. Maybe these private/parochial and homeschoolers really are on to something.

I suppose, but sometimes there is a bigger story, the last coach was only 1 year, so 1 - 0 against that one--but it counts!!!

It’s funny how concerned you’ve been on how HH runs things lately! Worried about the pass routes being called, the strength of schedule … LOL. The Semi-State champs seem to know what they’re doing. 🤫 On another note, where will Sean be taking his talents in the fall?

Shelbyville or Greenwood possibly?

My guess is the total football attendance is about the same. I would disagree. The old big 8 schools typically didn't travel well to Jasper (VL included) unless their teams were good, which for that last 20 years was few and far between for most of them. If I had to choose the current schedule or the old schedule, I choose the current schedule.

Yeah but my Caliper test showed empathy as one of strongest character traits.....So I got that going for me.....That and my stability....

That is pretty impressive

We miss this game on our schedule. Terribly miss it. This is historically one of our best rivalries (SR would be the next) as we were 11-10 against them....so at least we can always say that we got a game on them. Not to mention that not one Jasper coach has a winning record against HH. Love that one! I laughed too hard at this....because it's true. By the way, not everyone enjoys that schedule.
