Ada has a few solid linemen, but that's about it. Not much in the way of skilled kids. They also lost their coach, which is always a difficult transition, even if the new coach is from within the program.
Jefferson is as bad as I've ever seen them. They lost a tremendous amount of talent. They are small and slow, which is a bad combination. Taviano isn't a particularly skilled coach, imo. They looked disorganized, unprepared and barely under control when they played at Allen East. Most of their behavior seemed to model their coach's behavior, which was barely under control.
If junior high is any indicator for future success (it rarely is, though talent is talent), then there could be a few tough years before it gets better. The Ada JH has a really good QB, who I can't imagine won't start as a freshman next year. Not a lot around him, but in that system the QB is everything. Jefferson had some decent talent this year. Pretty stout up front, but not overly athletic.
As is always the case, this tends to be cyclical. It's difficult to stay at the top forever, especially with the coaching turnover both of these programs have faced.

Slicer was the glue that held the RC together...not exactly sure but I do know she ran into some physical/emotional issues and she moved up towards the Port Clinton area 2-3 years ago.....we used to stay in touch, but........
Awww....that's too bad. I always loved her enthusiasm.

Versailles at Celina: I don't know much about either team. I'll go with the larger, home team.
Defiance at Napoleon: Defiance has been struggling as of late.
Elida at Tiffin Columbian: I know absolutely nothing about the Tornadoes. But I think their mascot is stupid.
Coldwater at Kenton: By far the most intriguing matchup. I've heard Kenton will be tough, but it's hard to pick against the Cavaliers.
Eastwood at O-G: Eastwood lost a LOT to graduation. Should still be a great game.
Shawnee at Jefferson: I think the Jeffcats are going to struggle this season. Gotta go with Shawnee's stellar QB.
Sidney at St. Marys: The Riders are back to their old form, or at least close enough to it.
Bryan at Van Wert: Toss up game.
Wapak at Bellefontaine: Upset special. I've heard good things about Bellefontaine.

Couldn't agree more. The whole thing is cringe-worthy.

There's a couple dark horses out of the barn ready to run for the roses... I have said pretty clearly that Coach Cramer isn't a candidate. Brunow might be talked into the Ada job if it comes available. One of those LCC assistants might be up for the Shawnee challenge. And the AE coach is sniffing the Bathwater.
That would be surprising.
