West G vs. Kenston football photos

You can find a huge gallery over at the Kenston site. Here are a select few to enjoy.

Chagrin Falls sneaks into latest PD football poll

The Tigers are now ranked No. 23 in The Plain Dealer’s football poll, after their surprising 4-1 start.
Solon is ranked No. 14. The Comet offense has been too inconsistent to garner a higher ranking, but Solon’s defense is top notch. If Solon’s offense can step it up, expect the Comets to improve and march back [...]

An update on our football predictors

It’s time for an update on our predictors.
Our predictors didn’t predict the first week of the season, but, on average, they have been pretty accurate. Week 3 saw Sandra Klepach put on a clinic with a 9-1 record. The only miss she had was the Beachwood vs. Lincoln West game.
Week 4 of the season was [...]

Solon playoff update: Comets not in top 8

Currently the Comets are tied for No. 14 in Region 1.
The top 8 teams make the playoffs. Region 1 is very rugged with Glenville, St. Ignatius and St. Edwards all in it. All three should easily make the playoffs.
Beyond that, Strongsville is looking good this year. So are Boardman and others.
At this point, Solon has [...]

CVC playoff update

Division II:

Kenston is the lone Division II CVC team. They are currently No. 21 in Region 5. The top 8 make it in the playoffs. It appears extremely unlikely that Kenston will make the playoffs this year. Even if Kenston won out — which is extremely unlikely — I can’t see how they would get [...]

Week 4 yields big surprises in the CVC

I must say that I am genuinely shocked by some of the outcomes that happened in week 4 of Chagrin Valley Conference play.
There is no better place than to start with Chagrin Falls. Wow, this was a shocker.
Chagrin Falls defeats West G 25-0 — I thought this would be a good game, but I didn’t [...]

CVC and Solon pick-em week 3

Here are the games this week. There are 8 games now to pick because it is in CVC play, and the games should be much harder to pick. The first four games could go either way.

  Solon at Mayfield
  Aurora vs. Perry
  Chagrin Falls vs. West Geauga
  Kenston at Beachwood
  Orange at Wickliffe
  Kirtland at Cuyahoga Heights
  Newbury vs. Richmond Heights
  Hawken vs. [...]

Thoughts on the CVC after three weeks

Making predictions in preseason is a fools game — even in the NFL.
Making predictions in the preseason for high school football is idiotic. After three weeks, however, the landscape becomes a lot clearer. Perry and West Geauga look like the clear front runners right now. The team everyone picked to win the CVC, Aurora, is [...]
