Riverdale was disappointing. I think they lacked their stud scorer. It showed. Riverdale was useless on offense; they couldn't even generate a signal chance. The midfield wasn't much better and the defense was porous and the goalkeeper was slow of foot.
Is it just me or is Ottoville's pitch TINY? They have a GREAT facility, but the field is so freaking narrow. Hard to play pretty soccer when there's simply no space to do so. End rant.
Ottoville overmatched Riverdale in every way. Ottoville didn't play pretty soccer, but they knew what to do when the ball gets into the offensive third and are pretty athletic. A nice goal on a thru pass in the first half and a nice header in the second off a throw in (see above paragraph, ugh). The other three goals I saw were rebounds, far post trash collection, but well finished none the less.
The Riverdale coach blew up late in the 2nd half after a hard foul on one of his players didn't draw a booking or worse. Shocked he wasn't sent off. I was halfway to the parking lot and I heard him ranting. I don't know if he was blowing up at the foul or the fact that his side was on the wrong end of a 6-0 scoreline.

Why would Ottoville put that much money into a soccer facility, yet not make it regulation size. They had plently of room to put the track off to one side. You thought they would have learned something from their new gym design.

Where is the Stud Scorer? Grant right?
Yup, Grant and I think it's a knee injury.

That's too bad. He is a fascinating player to watch! I hope it heals fast!

Toffee: Been there, done that. Dont let it hang over you. Coaches get fired up, they yell, it happens. You are passionate and you dont have to apologize for that.
As for the Ottoville field, it had always been "the parking lot". Did it get worse? It had a wonderful downhill slant and was narrow as can be. The refs there always seemed to be turdish, but I never had a problem with the Ville.

former coach...ottovilles soccer field now is actually really nice great facility with a lot of seating to watch the game and a nice track around the field but like most are saying its a little small....length wise its definitely good enough but width wise its a lil small, but it definitely meets the state requirements, "the parking lot" that you are referring to still exists, its just down at the park which is used for junior high games only...but it actually is in pretty good shape, better than it has been lol...but ya their field now is really nice probably one of the best in the area along with kalidas and OGs

"A little" small is being overly generous. There's a big difference between a 120x70 pitch and a 110x57 pitch.
Facility wise, it's top rate, but because of the tiny field it still stands behind OG, Kalida, Findlay, Wapak, Shawnee, ect.

Thanks formercoach (hope all is well in your corner of the world).
Ottoville's facility is top-notch, with the exception of field dimensions, but I have to differ dkusma's order of field listings... as a Findlay grad I don't think anything comes close to the Graham. It was the first & will always be the best in my mind.

The list was in no particular order. Findlay's park and pitch are without a doubt the best facilities in the area.

Oh my pal Venom, how I have longed for your constant reminders of K-Town's tourney losses to the Big Green?! Except for this annual anomaly (I am referring yet again to these tourney losses), can you tell me where I have been wrong??? You cannot, I haven't said we would go undefeated, but have accurately detailed our wins, losses & ties -- every year, giving more heed to our opponents than ourselves (this means under-estimating our results, not embellishing).
Pray tell Dear Venom, please give us your annual predictions for the "Big Green":
Van Wert (Won 1 - 0)
Riverdale (Won 6 - 0)
Bryan (Won 4 - 1)
Van Buren
Lima Senior
Continental
Lima Central Catholic
Ada
St. Marys
Pandora-Gilboa
Miller City
Kenton
Kalida
Ft. Jennings
Temple Christian
New Knoxville
Then, once you post this, we can see how you do this year!

DISSENT first off what makes u think i am from Ottoville? i dont think i ever mentioned that i was? so sorry to disappoint but i am not i just talk about them cuz i go to some of their games, just like i go to some Kalida, O-G, and even some lima schools...and second of all i only comment on that because its obvious that as of late u guys havent been able to get by the big green in the last 3 years esp last year which im still kinda surprised..anyways, its just about the nonsense u post on here that i just read and shake my head...and im sure im not the only one, but ud think u would have learned ur lesson 3 years ago lol look im not a biased person what so ever, i just like talking about the game and how teams are doing, i dont need to make any predictions about schools that im not even associated with or talk about how great a team is gonna be and make excuses for some but you just get on here and tell us how it is with kalida and how untouchable they are like a young high school student who just comes on here and rambles on until that moment when u swallow all that u said and disappear for another year, but anways buddy im just gonna drop this and continue to talk about the game and allow you to do what you always do, take care and have a good season, who knows perhaps i will be seeing you the next kalida game

Continental is not a good litmus test for WBL play. IMO Napoleon is a better side than Continental. It may be a bit of a rivalry, but the quality and speed of play isn't in the same ball park as you'll see from the quality WBL sides.
I do hope you are correct on this because the Dawgs hung tough against Napoleon. I actually thought that overall they were the better team for a good portion of the game, especially in the final 8 - 9 minutes. The first part of the 2nd half however, Napoleon dominated by kicking beyond the Defiance midfield and putting pressure on the inexperienced defenders. Neither team could find a way to crack the code to find the back of the net. It was indeed a very good game.
Based on the scores I'm seeing from Continental AND from Bryan they both seem to be having some issues early on. Knowing both coaches, I have no doubt they will be working to right their respective ships before too many games are completed.
You get to the NEXT level only by being successful at the CURRENT one. Play today's game first, enjoy the victory, then and only then, look ahead!

I like Riverdale, but I hate watching games that have players who throw temper tantrums.
.... and correct me if I'm wrong but I think I heard of an Ada
(punk) throwing some punches at another player on the field last year. I think he should take a step in the ring so everyone can see what he's really made of, which prolly isn't that much....hmmm

Went to watch the National Soccer Festival in Ft. Wayne this weekend. The two fields were 120x75.
Kalida's field is 110x70. Not "relatively small"...unless you compare to Findlay's beautiful pitch.

There is no such thing as a "punch thrown from Ada in self-defense". If a punch is thrown, it is never in self-defense.

Check this out, im the ada kid that threw the punch. The kid raised his hand like he was going to hit me. So since I thought he was gonna hit me, I acted in self defense. Know your facts before you publish things sir
