High School Football Thoughts

Some random musings:

1) Absolutely impressed with the Avon Lake Shoremen. Not sure who might match up with them well. Whoever it is better have one heck on a "D" line. (Kevin - best thoughts. Hope you're doing well)

2) Avon and Wellington - Thank you for bringing an air attack to Lorain County. It's been one of my complaints over the last several years: Lorain County teams seem content to run the ball. Balanced attacks seem to do better in the post season. That and it's just more entertaining.

3) Oberlin - Nice job. Keep it going, there's a lot more work to do. Southview and Firelands - You're due next. Let's get one.

4) Brookside - What is up with the injuries? This is probably one of the stronger (as in big muscles) teams in the county. The last two years have seen the Cards brutalized by bumps, bruises, breaks and blown ligaments. It sucks.

5) Dino, Gibbs and I (and I think a few other Sports Krew members are on this page)were talking on the way to Tiffin this AM to cover the Yeomen, and this point was brought up. There are 6 (Midview, EC, Avon Lake, Keystone, Oberlin, North Ridgeville) undefeated local teams. That's amazing. And quite a few of those wins are against out of county teams (7-2 this past week). Very nice!

6) Praise to the Guys in Stripes this year. I haven't heard one complaint about one call or no-call this year. We're all too eager to give them crap when they make a mistake. They deserve a pat on the back when they do well.
