IMO, Valpo’s move to 5A makes them an immediate contender to rep the the North. They are going to have some very large and disruptive lines on both sides of the ball.

Agreed with the statement!

No one is saying they aren't the favorite. I'm just saying that when Dwenger beats them in the state finals, it won't be a "monumental" upset.

Okay

If Cathedral or Dwenger win, there won't be anything "monumental" about it. I think it's ok to say that NP might be the favorite. If Cathedral or Dwenger beat them it's because they are the better team................and it might happen.

Okay lol

Might be the favorite? That’s comical... not even debatable they are the favorite.

NP does return 7 offensive starters and 8 defensive starters as well as punter and kicker.

It would be a monumental upset if NP doesn’t win the 5A state title.. they are absolutely loaded this year. Heard that Hook kid is pretty good 😉. 

We will find out how good we will be in the first 3 weeks against 3 ranked opponents.  

Well deserved for that program and it’s fans. They have earned it.

What is the expectation of these games? What do the teams have coming back, etc.? 

I would be happy with a 2-1... I think East beats Whiteland (I believe they were a senior heavy team last year), I think they beat CN and I think they have a competitive game against PC, coming up a bit short. 

East returns a ton of talent from last years team (4 preseason all state kids, and 1 honorable mention). Last year the line had some issues, I’ve heard they are much improved this year, I guess time will tell if that’s true. 

East opening up with Whiteland, CN and Pickerington Central is a 3 game gauntlet. PC is one of the best teams in Ohio.

Going to be exciting to see how East fares in the 6a tourney. Too bad it isnt New Pal that was bumped up this season. Either way  should be a great year for both teams. 

Mule! Hope your summer has been well, been too damn hot for me lately lol. How is South looking this year? I expect them to be a pretty good team. 

Maybe CS can transfer just before sectional time.. that sounds like a swell idea to me 🤪 

You know, give everyone else a fair shot in that sectional this year lol.

Where is Carson Steele at career rushing ? Will he be a threat to break all time numbers? Probably school record state record may be pushing it? 

I would say the state record will be almost impossible after what Charlie Spiegle will put up this year.. I think he is only 500 yards away from breaking the record, he will run for 4000+ this year I’m sure.

"This will be the first season of existence for Bishop Sycamore as a school or as a football program as they are a start up non-charter school aimed at offering kids in the inner city of Columbus a better means at an education and also top level football. 

It appears Bishop Sycamore is a re-boot of the Christians of Faith (COF) Academy out of Columbus that played its first season last year as the same type of school. 

Last year as COF they played a loaded schedule including traditional Ohio powers Huber Heights Wayne, Cleveland St. Ignatius, and Lakewood St. Edward and such major out-of-state programs as North Alleghany in Wexford, Pennsylvania, and IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. 

Last season, the Ohio High School Athletic Association ruled on September 21 that the COF Academy was no longer considered a school and would not count towards points in the Ohio state playoffs. 

They did however play out the majority of their remaining games, but finished with a 1-9 record against the daunting schedule."

 

..........Williamson, KY Daily News

WHY are they on Warren’s schedule?!? LOL. I feel sorry for them. Warren is going to pick a score. 

Kid is an extremely good WR. 

To outscore every team we play... 

East came up a bit short last night. Was a great game.. 2 errors in the bottom of the 7th was the deciding factor in the game. Congrats to HSE, those pitchers were throwing smoke. 

East will return 5 starters and the top 3 pitchers. On to football season!! 

I guess I really didn’t word it right. Indiana is a fine program, Top 25 it seems about every year now. I would want to see how he competes at a program that is top 10-15 every year.

Well IU had 10 players drafted and Wright state (where IU's coach was at prior) had 4 guys taken in the top 10 rounds. If he wants player development, Jeff Mercer is the guy. You'd want him to live in Louisville for 4 years over Bloomington? ... eesh. 

I want him to win and be happy. Doesn’t matter where he goes, if he works hard everything will fall into place as it has now. BUT looking at what another Columbus kid did by going to Louisville (Devin Mann) I would say following in those footsteps would be just fine.

He isnt an IU commit anymore 

Even better, I would like to see him at a Louisville, Vanderbilt or a program like that. 

East will return 3 pitchers on next years team that have a combined record of 22-2

Columbus East defeats Avon 10-3 to advance to the State Title game.

Cole Gilley (IU Commit) with 11 strikeouts and gives up 6 hits. 

Columbus - Zwanzigs or 450 North... 2 amazing, locally owned Brewery’s/restaurants

Saw that yesterday

Congratulations and good luck next week. 

I just wouldn’t feel right about pointing out the one or the few losses East has this season was to BNL 😂

Floyd got us this year once as well... East starts 2 sophomore pitchers.. the future is bright.

Columbus East had a miraculous comeback against Jeffersonville today, down 3 with 2 outs and nobody on, they score 3 in the 7th to force extra innings, Dalton Back hits a home run in the 9th to advance to the Regional title game.

Dalton Back hits a Grand Slam in the title game, and East beats Castle 5-1 to advance to the Semi-State next week.
