We improved to 2-1 with a solid win over Vemilion on Thursday. We started in the hole when our QB fumbled on a sack and they returned for 94yrds, but our boys responded with 22 unanswered points. Ty had a couple decent runs, and got in on a lot of tackles, 2 of them showing that he is learning to flip the switch. Nothing better right now than seeing the ah-ha moment the first time a player realizes how fun it is to launch/collide at 100% and the feelings that come with it🤘

Last night was our first home game for varsity, and field dedication wirh the Cleveland Browns and Cross Country Mortgage. While the weather didnt cooperate, it was a nice pregame tailgate, team introductions for all sports and a great tribute to Max and his legacy. There was a medical emergency on the visitors sideline, and 1/2 way through max showed up with a double rainbow and quite the painted sky.......chills.

2-2, half way thru the season. Last Thursday they lost to Huron, the fear of God in their eyes at half time trying to stop their big tailback. They went in 0-8 at half, ended 0-30🫤 Films don't lie, and there were a lot of ah-ha moments yesterday lol. Today a couple more stepped up in tackling drills, hopefully it carries thru for Thursday.

Ty had some good runs, struggled blocking, and was scared to tackle. He shows glimpses of aggression, but as a safety he is still not flying up and helping the run game, which makes up 90% of the game at this age. His punts are working out well.

Wow I got to watch one of the best football games I've seen in a VERY LONG time last night.

One of the biggest small-school matchups in the Buckeye State takes place in Jeromesville where defending league champion Dalton (3-1, 1-0) takes on undefeated Hillsdale (4-0, 1-0) in a pivotal WCAL showdown that you can only find on The OH Report



Dalton was the state runner up last year and is a division higher than Hillsdale, this game is complete with flea flicker, hook and ladder, fake punts, and huge plays made by both teams.

Only 2wks left in the season, it's flying bye! 7th grade currently sits at 3-3 after a big loss to Bellevue last week and a win over Norwalk the week before. It's amazing the size and speed difference of kids at this age, and again between 7-8th grade. Overall the kids are having fun and getting a good dose of what the game is like, from wins/loses and also on the field when they have to learn to gang tackle the big guys, or fight off blockers putting them on their butt play after play. Growth is happening and that's the goal.

The clash of the undefeated local Titans took place last night and we came out on top! Perkins (my alum) came in ranked #1 in D4, we (Edison) were #5 in D5. One heck of a running and defensive heavy game. I expected it to follow suit like last year, a blow out by half time. Perkins has 3 D1 college signed players, and a line that rivals most college sizes. Our coach gambled with MO on their side for the 2pt. conversion and it was enough.......aaahhhhhhh!!!!



Ty and 7th grade team put up a good fight on Thursday against Perkins. We were slow out of the gates and let them get up 16-0 on us, but came out after half and tied it up. A couple big plays thru 3rd and 4th qtqtrfoe their big guy ,#4, let them open it up. This was the most points our team scored all season, with Ty accounting for 2 scores, 1 running and 1 receiving. Tackling continues to be our cryptonite.

Hard to believe but Ty's first year of football is in the books! They finished the season 3-5, definitely looking forward to seeing that improve next year and just getting better at the game all the way around. There were only 3-4 kids that stepped out of their shell this year, with both the game really clicking & tackling w/o hesitation. Ty was not one of them and he knows it. He's decided to wrestle this year to help him continue on his both his mental and physical strength journey.

Our varsity team is still on their roll and things are looking good for a deep playoff run! They're tied for #2 in D V, and if they secure the win Friday they'll go 10-0 for the first time since 1981.

First year of h.s. football done as the JV won their last game easily.

This Friday night should be a great game with 9-0 vs 8-1 for the conference championship AND potentially the first team to ever go 10-0.

If anyone wants, I'm sure it'll be live streamed and I can share the link.
