POST 23 Game updates

[alabama mike]

Thanks for the support bucknut23!

Freesafety, I do not believe Noel is going to play football this year at ND. White, Kemper and Oesch do play as you mentioned.

I am glad we have had the chance to play Legion ball and get to know the players from other schools and families so much better. It has been an experience that the Bama household will never forget.

[free safety]

alabama mike, have you heard anything about playing the Del Rice champions this week. I was told that may be in the works.

Who are the two young men not going to Athens?

[PDTfan10]

sense when is noel not playing football? its a bit suprising to me.....but good luck in state have fun and paly hard and try to bring home a championship

Coach Brannon is a class act and his kids follow his lead.
As a legion umpire, I was impressed with the quality of coaches and kids I saw this summer in this area.
It was a joy to umpire this year in the districts because of the quality of people I dealt with this year.

doesn't bricker and the other boy from west play football, also buckieweiz is playing football I think

[Ptown Playmaker]

Good luck Post 23........also, Coakley from Portsmouth plays football....glad to see he's committed to 23!

[little doggy]

I believe the first scrimmage games for football are on august 9th, with the tournament for state starting Aug . 4, wow what a log jam,

[bucknut 23]

It's been this way for years though and it's not going to change now. We all know that once it's the actual date to start all football coaches are eager to get going. Hopefully, all things work out for the best.

This is a great reward for these players and coaches on a good Legion season and nice District 7 Tournament run.

[bushmaster24]

I think they are at least 7 players that play football.And they all will most likley start for football team.

[falconflyer]

Reading between the lines, it sounds like Wests' football coach forced Bricker and Journey to quit. Is that correct?

[Catch24]

That's the way it sounds. Absolute garbage if that's the case.

[SENDEM]

Yep thats the way I feel, also. They was 2 very nice young men. That cost us 2 good outfielders an 1 of our left handed pitchers. But I wish them well in their football season, an look forward to seeing them again in the spring on a baseball field. Just wished that they were both there to enjoy the end result of there hard work just like the rest of the young men on the Post 23 team.

Can anyone tell me why the American Legion State Tournament starts so much later than the District Tourny Post 23 played in?

[volsfan]

Bryan said that Coach Woodward told him to just keep winning games, and be there when he could. And we expected nothing different from Coach Woodward. But he knows he will have to run some for missing, and that is ok. My oldest son Brandon went to state his senior year with Post 757 when Post 23 did not have a team then, and all he had to do is run some too. Was worth it he said. I find it hard to believe than any coach would tell a player to choose or he was going to be cut from the team. Most coaches will tell you that they don't like it, but they understand the situations. But that is just my honest opinion on the whole coach saying that the player has to choose.

Baseballfan61, I agree, Baseball should be 12 months out of the year! And football should be every Friday night

Good Luck to Post 23

Does anyone have any information of a radio station that is web casting/streaming the tournament games? Especially Post 23's games!

[alabama mike]

oldtrojan, I am not sure if any games are being streamlined. You may want to check the state Amercian Legion website and see if you can find out anything. Listed below you will see the games and times thanks to sportfolio.

There is a blank bracket on the Ohio American Legion website

Here is the schedule, but the spots won't be filled until the

banquet on Sunday night -- it is an open draw

Back in the day, WNXT and Roger Gray and the crew broadcasted all of the State Legion Tourney games. They would also do about 30 regular season games as well.
