Because certain posters have a strong dislike for some schools and the posters affiliated with the schools. It's very evident when reading through misc. threads and posts.

I completely understand.

Since you guys want to talk Mentor in the Medina thread I will to. Was at my uncle's house yesterday in Paienseville and my cousin played there. We talked about this and they said Mentor is getting worse since the youth program changed years ago. They told me Mentor had a good youth program for a long time and then it got switched and run by different people. They said for sure the guys running it for the last like 8 years had no idea what to do and only tried to show off there kids. They said the feeder system for Mentor sucks and will never make teams like when they made the big runs in the past.

Maybe the head coach can get involved and get the coaches to run his system. And lay out a fundamentals drill/practice sheet for all the coaches to follow. And for all I know, maybe he already does.

Mentor is closed enrollment. Those kids both moved into Mentor to play there. And yes that was a one off with AAU.

People try to point out the few exceptions for Mentor when I bring this up, but it's disingenuous. Those exceptions don't compare to the norm of programs of which I'm speaking

“Moved In”. Ok

You do have a point here. Imagine if OHSAA really looked at what is happening at Glenville and sanctioned them. The race card would come out so fast your head would spin. I can just picture the community leaders and celebrities that would speak out against investigation no matter how neutral it was. OHSAA does not want this heat.

Nailed it. Both of you may be forgetting OHSAA suspended Coach Ginn and barred Glenville from postseason play just a few years ago. Now all of a sudden OHSAA is afraid of punishing the same coach and program?

Again exception to the rule here. I know they moved in for basketball only. I don't even know if they just rented or not. Others who move in do stay so they are indeed exceptions to the rule for Mentor

People try to point to this one year and they think they have some great point. But it just isn't normally what happens with Mentor.

And again this is about football anyways. That you have to go to another sport should tell people all they need to know

Aren't you a Akron St V fan? Really want to talk about this ?

Nothing to do with what I said but yeah it's definitely a lot easier to win at lower levels with talent from all over.

Needless to say , the D2 and lower players in terms of college aspirations who moved into Mentor weren't driving hummers to school

Plus your football isn't the same now. Your coward program stopped the Hoban series for God sakes

And Mentor beats up on schools they are 2…3…4 times bigger than and pound their chest. They’ve been voted out of at least 2 or 3 conferences because of that.

Go Bees!!

I heard they had a new QB transfer into the program?

Show me when we've been voted out of a conference? Id like to see it

We did own the GCC name because others left before Mentor and Euclid and such went to the LEL . We are in a big school league and our AD actively looks to add schools with big enrollment. Lorain, Brunswick ,Medina etc are 100 or so or less away in boys enrollment for God sakes. You are struggling

Good try though

You can vote with your hands or your feet. The original GCC schools (Eastlake North, Willoughby South, Maple Heights, Brush, etc) left Mentor behind and didn’t invite them to join the new league. There was no “and such”. Reminds me of the PAC 12.

I thought this was a MEDINA thread? Lol.

As far as MEDINA goes, who all is coming back on both sides of the ball? Who is gonna be the next signal caller? Whoever it is, they have some BIG shoes to fill, having been behind Drew Allar and Danny Stoddard. Who are gonna be the receivers to look out for? Linemen? Secondary?

Are they in any 7 on 7s? Etc.

From what I understand a new QB has transferred into the program

So in other words they weren't voted out of the conference? They just outgrew it and had teams flee from Mentor ? Ok glad we established that.

You got your history wrong yet again clearly. Since then , Mentor has left the LEL for the NOC. When schools like Hudson didn't want to play schools like Mentor , Medina etc. the league went away. 7 including Mentor made the new GCC. Since then 2 more left and 2 replaced them

None of that was voting us out. In fact it was teams fleeing schools like Mentor and Medina if anything

The guy who made the thread I don't believe is a Medina fan. He's called out Mentor in every post and hasn't at all kept it on Medina.

He's tried to hate on Mentor since he started. Clearly more of a Mentor hater than a Medina guy here.

Who is the new Medina QB? Where is he from? Walsh?

John Marshall

John Marshall

Click to expand...

The Carson kid?

I think his name is Cason, but either way, a good pickup for Medina. He did pretty solid at John Marshall.

What I noticed that last year, Walsh Jesuit had 4 QBs. Of those four, one of the backups last year transferred to Hoban, and Cason transferred to John Marshall (was enrolled at WJ at some point?).

MentorGrad2002 said:

Im seeing

Stow week 1
At Olentangy week 2
Wadsworth week 3
Cass tech week 10

The week from 4-10 where everyone has non GCC games are one offs. Lorain comes in next season

Yes they did play Avon a couple times recently too

Click to expand...

I didn't see that they are playing Cass Tech. That's a solid non-conference schedule.

Stow has been down but it made sense at the time those schools signed on. Stow was coming off some good seasons and Medina was just starting to fulfill its "sleeping giant" potential when it started. Hopefully this will be the last year.

The other three look good.

I don't know what the expectations are with Olentangy, but it's the return game from last year when Medina scheduled them when they had their Penn State QB.

Wadsworth is an annual rival so they aren't going anywhere. Plus, Wadsworth is a solid program even taking away that the schools have probably played for 100 years in a row.

Cass Tech is like the Detroit version of Glenville, so that one isn't exactly a bye week before the playoffs.

They may take a step back this year only because at some point, you would think you can't keep plugging in QBs to replace record-breaking QBs and the next one continues to break records, but unless the QB play falls completely off the cliff, the Bees will be in the mix with Mentor and Cleveland Heights again for the GCC title.

And don’t forget Shaker this year.

Depending on how good Jason Trusnik is as a coach, Strongsville too.

I do agree, though, Shaker is the way better bet at this point of a team outside "the top three" coming in a blowing it up.

I think Trusnik was a home run and Strongsville has pieces. GCC will be real goodd this fall

Cason Diiulio was at Walsh his freshman year then transferred to Marshall and was the Senate League MVP and D1 Honorable Mention All State. Looks like he’s now at Medina.
Trent Hayden was the backup at Walsh last year and transferred to Hoban. Either he or Brunswick transfer Ethan Roksandich will start for Hoban.
Walsh returns Keller Moten who was D2 Third Team All State last year.

We've played Ignatius every year since 2005 moron. Eds was always a fill in game. Not a valued game. Not a rivalry like Hoban and St V.

Not many publics scheduled Eds in 3 home and home series in a span where you guys started winning titles. So by that rationale, every public school would be cowards. Medina for example never schedules eds or Ignatius

As for you, well I ignore most of your posts. Just figured I'd chime in on this one for the ignorance of it.

Clearly you must have been one of the blockheads who got into eds because of sports
