I do have a lot of faith in our program. It's one of the most successful programs in this part of the state, and our players give their best every year. But I'm not one of those who goes into every season claiming we're going to win the league and make the playoffs.

Re: Fort Frye adds WV State Champs to schedule
It’s hard to count NY out in football. History shows the Buckeyes bounce back after “down” seasons. Ny vs. FF will be one heck of a game this year. Both teams should have playoffs as their expectation this fall.Orange and Brown wrote: Thu Mar 21, 2019 1:53 pmHave a little faith.Barber1973 wrote: Thu Mar 21, 2019 9:58 am Ill take talent over experience anyday just dont c much talent on Friday night s this fall

Re: Fort Frye adds WV State Champs to schedule
No one says we are "loaded", we have some weapons and we have kids who have some experience now. No one is trying to put the cart before the horse just yet but we will be better than last year on both sides of the ball.Ground Buck wrote: Thu Mar 21, 2019 1:59 pmI do have a lot of faith in our program.

We weren't strong enough last year. We weren't physical and the kids got the message. They know what they need to do and they are doing it.
Championship's are won in the off-season

Strong and physical is one thing Fort Frye will be for sure. They are loaded at Wr but QB is really young.Orange and Brown wrote: Thu Mar 21, 2019 4:31 pmNo one says we are "loaded", we have some weapons and we have kids who have some experience now.

Re: Fort Frye adds WV State Champs to schedule
Other than the fact we're losing our only real good lineman I agree with you. The Fort will be a tough test though, so kudos to coach Richards for beefing up the schedule.Orange and Brown wrote: Thu Mar 21, 2019 4:31 pmNo one says we are "loaded", we have some weapons and we have kids who have some experience now.

Re: Fort Frye adds WV State Champs to schedule
I just love how, no matter how many playoff teams Fort Frye plays, as soon as they get added to our schedule, the peanut gallery informs us they're all hot garbage.

Re: Fort Frye adds WV State Champs to schedule
It will end up being one of top 20 schedules in the state I only see one team with a losing record. I’m sure if they dropped Waterford and Belpre people would be mad about that.efarns wrote: Mon Mar 25, 2019 8:36 am I just love how, no matter how many playoff teams Fort Frye plays, as soon as they get added to our schedule, the peanut gallery informs us they're all hot garbage.

Re: Fort Frye adds WV State Champs to schedule
Fort Frye has defiantly become one of the best programs in our area. I was surprised when they hung with the best small school in the state Kirtland. I wish we could get Fort Frye vs Trimble
Re: Fort Frye adds WV State Champs to schedule
Exactly. It isn't like Fort Frye is a roster of **** recruits. They've had very few people go on to play in college at any level whatsoever. But now that they've had some success, there are a few posters who just won't be satisfied until they schedule themselves to go 5-5 every year. It's just small town high school football and our program isn't in existence to satisfy the whims of random Portsmouth fan.EasternDspy wrote: Tue Mar 26, 2019 7:08 pmIt will end up being one of top 20 schedules in the state I only see one team with a losing record.

I don't know if they would be elite, but Wheeling Central would be a perennial playoff team in Ohio. With the population and number of schools in WV, winning state is about like winning your football regional in Ohio. Yes, there are bad teams in WV, but the good teams are still good teams.
