FYI...The following series were each of a home and home nature: BC/ED, SJR/ED, DBP/Moe, BC/Hoban

DBP/X, DBP/ED, PC/Iggy and DPC/Elder were one-offs. 

Hoban owes BC a return trip in 2023. NJ leads with a 6-5 record. More the reason that these states should be playing each other annually. 

And DBP should visit Ed to finish the one off

agreed a bunch of good programs here. More games like these should happen.

Iron Sharpens Iron. Serious question. Why do all the other power privates around the USA step up year in and year out to schedule elite competition EXCEPT your state? Honestly, why did they all stop playing teams like BC, DBP, GC, Byrnes, Lakeland, DLS, Hamilton, etc. 

Kudos to Moe and Benedictine for stepping up and scheduling GC and DMC in 2022! Hope fully, this tide is turning for the best. 

The last time Eds played SJR was just a simple intro that I made which included BC

i think unless there was a 2 year commitment they feared not having enough opponents each year

also the harbin points Ohio ‘s system for playoff qualification & seeding precluded some OOS games

im with you sharpening the iron & entering the playoffs battle tested

as I mentioned to you some 8+ months ago now 12 teams out of 17/18 per region make the playoffs so should open more opportunities for you since an extra loss does not mean anything but being battle tested.

As of late they've prefered to host OOS games vs Canadian teams. I'm doing my best to reverse those trends. 

Come on you know OHSAA by laws 

an Ohio team may only travel once per calendar year to a non contagious state

Once= SUCKS !

If a power private is going to play a public, I'd prefer MC, DV, Saguaro, Cen10, etc. Better than Canada, though! #progress #reggidsux

They lost OOS to Chandler by 3 so not bad 

you know the ridiculous OH rules but yah better than b4

Cherry Creek CO at St Edward on 9/3!!

@maxipadchobian 

I was going to let you know earlier but too busy at work.

CC #88 Calpreps and 3 time CO state champ with 4 D1 prospects so could be a good one

Ed’s # 1 Calpreps 2010   # 5 in 2014

after that the rankings became suspect 

They became suspect since the 2 states NJ & OH did not recruit or receive the gift

Ed's finished #20 in America last season. That's elite. 

Here's their final rankings the seasons the Eagles lost to NJ: #69 when lost to DBP in 2011; #5 when lost to BC in 2014; #5 when lost to SJR in 2015. 

Ed's is still elite. Or are they? We'll never really know until they start schedulling Tier One teams again.

This will be our mission

i stepped back a bit but can make it happen . We will discuss

The Top Ohio teams should not be scheduling Tier 1 teams.  But they should be scheduling Tier 2 teams such as Hamilton AZ, The Bishop, Chandler AZ, Top Utah and Top 5-10 Texas, CA and Fla teams.  Even a WCAC team would be a good match

Since there are only 5 tier one teams good point

23 hours ago, GardenStateBaller said:

Won't happen. Other than LaSalle, none of the OH elites will schedule Tier One teams.

@Sammy Swordsman

The last time this happened was 2011-15 when NJ-OH had some of the top teams nationally

You got after me pretty good when St. Ed was dropped to Tier 4 in week 6 or so.   At the end of the day You were right.   The rest of Ohio seemed to struggle week to week.

Tough to gage teams from different regions

i remember in 2018 after Eds won state you moved them to tier 2 because you said they improved greatly and earned it. You were right. 

Just now, GardenStateBaller said:

No idea. Didn't go through PGL. 

Ok I’ll dig in

i see parents from Eds, Iggy and others the next couple weeks

Who is their surprise week 3 game? 
do know? I have not reached out yet.

Yep should be a good one and good competition 

Ed’s has 6-7 studs coming back next year. One player Michael Kilbane made max prep 2nd team defense 2023 while Ben Robeck 2024 made max prep 2nd team offense 6’7” 320 with a slim belly. Ohio State & Ryan Day were in to see them. Both have 30 offers including Penn state, Michigan & Cincinnati. Ohio state , Bama & Clemson should hurry.

the other 5 have MAC & Big offers and much interest

their key like most teams will be QB but junior to be looks promising

Your OH restrictions are nowhere near as bad as MI and IN!! 

I know but talking OH now.

Working on a nice OOS game for LaSalle on 10/14. 

Somehow we need to change the OHSAA restriction policy and more games could free up

OOS teams recently scheduled by OH blue bloods:

Rock Creek Christian MD

Clarkson Football North CAN 

Beacon Hill HomeSchool VA

West Toronto Prep CAN

Credit where credit is due: LaSalle hosted IMG; Elder hosted Clearwater Academy FL; Iggy hosted DeMatha MD

 

They also played TCC, Iggy, Hoban, Elder & Moeller

Clarkson not as bad as some think

big game against BS was canceled- don’t ban me 😂

make some games happen- you are fully aware of the OOS restrictions

The top OH teams continue to seek guaranteed wins vs inferior OOS competition rather schedule the elites. Moe is stepping up this year nicely by taking on Good Counsel in our Ironton Classic. 

GSB,

make it happen. 12 out of 16 teams make the playoffs. Who cares about some losses. Prepares you for the playoffs.

Last couple of years it seemed like Ohio was down compared to other areas of the country.   The top ranked teams kept losing.   

I took  this as sign of parity where the talent was evenly dispersed resulting in no super teams that would be above Tier 3.

St. Ed has been the most consistently good, but even they struggled and have not had marquee wins that I can think of without checking.

Now that Ohio is scheduled to play a better OOS schedule it will give more visability and basis for The Tier placement.   Last years low Tier placements made the Ohio guys salty. In retrospect  St.Ed probably should have not dropped below Tier 3, but we’re sucked down due to the performance of the other top teams.

Sammy,

if Eds was below tier 3 last year then there are maybe only 20 teams in the top 3 tiers. Not sure there are 20 teams that would score more than 21 points on them last year. 
Everyone said X, UA and Springfield had the best D in Ohio but in the end it was about the E!

they only lost one game in OT

respect your thoughts😀
