Ugminer Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 So I was browsing looking at schedules and came across Linton's. I see where they schedule Akron Hoban. I know Linton having a hard time finding teams. Aren't they like really really good. Kinda like Mater Dei? Just curious if anyone knows anything about them?

Comparable to a 5A/6A state champ in Indiana. Probably not a good match up for the miners! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobref Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Is this true? Starting in 2015, Hoban won 5 of 6 Div. 2 championships, and they’ve been runners up the last 2 seasons. They routinely go toe to toe with Div. 1 heavyweights St. Edward and St. Ignatius. According to Calpreps, if the 2022 versions of these teams had played on a neutral field, the Knights win 62-13, fwiw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWFan Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Listed on Harrells.....why in the world would either team want this game? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobref Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 (edited) We have had a pretty good presence from Linton on here in the past. I’d love to have someone share what the thought process was in Linton making this game. The Miners are a traditionally very successful program, with a great fan base … for an Indiana 2A school. But Hoban is on a totally different level. Take last season as an example. Linton finished 13-1 in 2A, losing only to eventual state champ Mater Dei in the semistate. A great season. But think about Linton trying to match up with Center Grove. Hoban was Div. 2 (corresponding roughly to Indiana’s 5A) state runner up … which is actually below their average finish in the last 8 seasons. Yet, Calpreps has this to say about a matchup between Hoban and Center Grove last year: neutral field [2022] Archbishop Hoban (Akron, OH) 35 (73%), [2022] Center Grove (Greenwood, IN) 26 (27%) That’s how good an average Hoban team is … compared to Indiana’s 3 time defending 6A champs. The better question is why would Hoban want this game? Beating a 2A school doesn’t do much for their point accumulation under Ohio’s playoff qualification system. Even though Linton is likely to have a successful season, Hoban won’t accumulate a lot of “second level” points, since Linton plays small schools. It’s a head-scratcher.

whiteshoes Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Archbishop Hoban (13-2) last season with losses to Lakewood St. Ed and Toledo Central Catholic in the Division II State final game. Wins over Cleveland St. Ignatius, Erie (PA) Cathedral Prep, Massillon Washington, and Hudson. Linton will look strange on their schedule this season.

WWFan Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Now Linton picks up Phalen Academy week 9. Start up program with 1 win. Now they went full opposite of the spectrum.

Not only could Linton and Lutheran have played but Phalan could've scheduled South Decatur which is more in line for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
