And now some rational thoughts after listening on the radio last night:
Great game by both teams.
Great coaching by both staffs
Officiating was at best average for both teams.
Wishing both teams good luck in the playoffs.
State of the NWC going forward:
Bluffton is in the rise again, they will continue to improve.
Jefferson and Spencerville, good coaching, solid programs, will cotinue to be solid teams.
Crestview may be the team to beat next season. Lots of young talent, good coach.
Columubs Grove will have a better year next season, solid program, good coaching staff but got a late start.
Allen East will continue to get better, just need more athletes to committ to the program.
Paulding, wow, where to they go now? They have athletes, why are they not more competitive?
And finally Ada: Best coach in the league, good players, system in place, tough mentality, will continue to be at or near the top.
Overall, the NWC will be stronger next season from top to bottom. Just my opiinion.
