Waverly 50 Piketon 6

Valley would be the perfect alternative and a great venue for this County rivalry.
Plenty of parking, good seating, nice turf field.....

Absolutely agree. Very nice of the Valley athletic department to open up their venue to allow this game to be played. I’m still assuming the game will be played the 24th since Valley plays Portsmouth the night before

As long as we get Piketon’s announcer and not Waverly’s, they can play the game anywhere them want!

Come on Mike, it’s a neutral site - pick which half you want to announce, LOL Piketon already gets the home side bleachers
Is it really already moved to Valley??

No idea. But, regardless, its our home game so you gotta pay to get in. Im announcing both halves!

Ya, but you can’t blame me for trying.

Anyone have a round about number of how many kids Piketon is going to have this year? Also, is one of Gullion's sons a freshman this year? Thought he had one as an 8th grader last year that played QB, but I could be wrong.

Low number for Piketon. I think somewhere in the high 30’s low 40’s. And yes, he has a son who will be a freshman.

Cal Preps saying Waverly 27 Piketon 10 so take that with a grain of salt

some up n young coming talent into that program

I think it's hard to make a prediction of how this game is going to go as of right now. I'm excited for these scrimmages coming up so we can all get a better insight on how these teams will stack up. As far as what cal preps is predicting, I think that is a decent guesstimate up to this point. Waverly has had Piketon's number for the past few seasons and I believe the Tiger's have more athletes than the Streaks again this year. Piketon does have some experience coming back, as they started a lot of fresh faces last year so those kids can take that experience and bring it to this year. Waverly is going to have some experience back as well, but there will also be a lot of new faces. Having a new guy running the show for the Tigers at QB could make for some early struggles. I could see Waverly having a bit of a learning curve at the beginning of the season, which will definitely play in Piketon's favor.

Got my first look at the 2018 version of the Waverly Tigers this morning. The Tigers lost some key players to graduation but from I saw today this Tiger team could very well be more athletic and deeper then last years squad.
No way do you replace a 3 year starting QB like Clayton Howell but as long as Shanks plays within himself he will be fine. He will be surrounded by an amazing group of WR's and RB's to take the pressure off of him. Shanks has a very strong arm, is quite a bit taller than Howell and has a great grasp on the offense.
One thing that really impressed me was their conditioning. They are in great shape and still have 2 1/2 weeks before the first game.
I only noticed one player nursing injury but he should be ready to go soon.

What's going on in Redstreak land??

[MasterOfNone]

Not much chatter going on lately here...
We will get our first look at the redstreaks tomorrow as they scrimmage Minford @ home. Will be eager to hear how things go. Haven't been able to get much insight on how things are looking for Piketon. Anyone have any updates on them?

[MasterOfNone]

Also, will the scrimmage tomorrow be at Piketon? Didn't know how the field conditions were at this point.

Looks like a low number of kids but return almost all of the offensive output from last season. You’ll be hearing Grooms, Galloway, Henderson, and Little a lot this year. Lost our anchor on defense (Thacker) at safety to a torn acl. Other than that it sounds like we are pretty healthy. I’ll be at the Minford scrimmage and will try to have some updates on here as to how they look

[smurray]

Sounds like they made the same mistake I made in trying to plant new grass this spring. I did some of my yard last fall and it's awesome. I did the exact same process (same dirt, seed, etc.) to a different area of yard this Spring and it's terrible.
I guess you don't do any of that kind of work in the Spring because the grass doesn't have time for it's roots to get down deep like it does if you plant in the fall......

[whompascat]

what time is scrimmage an where ?

[smurray]

Is there any definite decision yet on the location of this game? It's only 2 weeks away and I doubt the field will improve any with it being August already.
Is it Piketon regardless of the field? Will it be at Waverly if the field is not at a certain level of satisfaction or Valley?

From everything I have been hearing from different sources, some of those being Piketon parents, is that the game is looking like it will be played at Valley. That seems to be the common answer I keep receiving at least.
