PVC 2010

Post schedules, predictions, and pre-season talk.

[ActionJackson]

Caldwell has been great the past 3 years.

[I drain 3's]

Very early prediction, but I'd say Caldwell and Monroe Central will probably be the early favorites. Frontier could possibly make some noise as well.

[carbon_dated]

If Frontier can find some linemen to protect Fickiesen it could be a big year in Cougarland, but Monroe Central always has enough underclassmen starters to reload most seasons. Seminoles need a QB cause Derek-London Dierkes graduated, but Coach Circosta always finds a way to piece it together.
Caldwell lost a lot, Fort Frye is building, Shenandoah won't stay down long, River is going to miss QB Dylan Potts, and Buckeye Trail has some young talent on the way.
My prediction - Monroe, Frontier, FF, Caldwell, Shenandoah, River, Trail - although the 3-to-7 positions could juggle.

Everybody said the same thing about Caldwell last year and I think they performed pretty well. This team was young for the most part. They'll lose a couple good players, but have some pretty good ones returning as well. It'll be really hard to replace a player like Todd, but hopefully somebody can step in and try to fill in that spot as best they can. They've got some key pieces returning. I think they'll do pretty well.

Enough Said Go Noles!!!

While Monroe loses arguably one of the most athletic QB's that Circosta has coached in his 38 years, they have a great deal of talent returning, with great team speed. Some holes to fill in the line as well, but it sounds like there's going to be a large influx of talent with the upcoming freshman class. Chief Jay isn't afraid to play them either, if they are ready for varsity.

I like MC, Caldwell, Frontier, and the Fort as the top four for 2010.

[I drain 3's]

Although I'd like to see Caldwell win the PVC, I think MC is set up best to take the crown.

Very early prediction, but this is how I see it shaking out.

1. MC
2. Caldwell
3. Frontier
4. Fort Frye
5. Shenandoah
6. River
7. Buckeye Trail

From what i saw last year's MC 8th grade was huge. Bigger than most teams, and talented. Look for the Noles to rule again as Chief Jay pads his all-time winningest OVAC record.

Monroe will dominate the league.After that it is up in the air.Caldwell,Frontier,Fort Frye,and even Doah could compete.Fort Frye will look to build returning alot of key players.QB-Ed Watson RB-Klinger FB-Skinner.Fort Frye could also get alot of help from new players Herndon,Jefferson,Kyle Brooker and Cole Okey.

[Steely Dan]

The Fort could be much better next season. They showed some promise in the MC game up in Woodsfield this past fall, which was my one opportunity to see the Cadets play in 2009.

Sounds like Jefferson will be a nice addition to the Cougars' offense. Fickiesen, if he gets protection, will look for him for that breakaway threat.

I'm interested to see how Caldwell does this year. It seems, for some reason, that a lot of people like to basically just hate on Caldwell, or basically give them little credit for what they've done. And i'm not coming on here complaining because we don't get respect or anything like that, because I couldn't really care less. It just seems odd that Caldwell gets all this hate. When Devol first came in, it seemed a lot of people outside of Noble County said it wouldn't matter and that they wouldn't be any good. Then last year it was all the inexperience and youth that Caldwell had that would hold them back, and now i've heard the same talk this year.

Of course, they're losing some good/great players. But they've also got good/great players coming back. I believe Sayre will be back for his 3rd year behind center (2nd as a starter), Morris will be, or at least has the potential to be one of the best, if not the best TE in the league, and I believe a good portion of both the offensive and defensive lines will be back. Sure they'll have a tough time replacing some of their big impact players, but it seems Caldwell finds a way to plug guys in and have them perform fairly well. I don't think this coming year will be any different. I'd love to see them win the PVC title. In my eyes, right now, it's between them and Monroe Central.

[NorthernLight]

I just don't see Frontier getting their second win of all time vs Woodsfield/Monroe Central. Over the years the record is something like 35-1 give or take a few.

N.L. - Maybe when "pigs fly". LOL! I don't see another dent in the win column for the Cougars vs. the Seminoles for awhile......... After that one loss, I believe that there is enough pressure on any Seminole team from the alumni to not drop another game to Frontier.......

[EasternDspy]

Fort Frye will have Watson at QB.Skinner will be the workhorse.Slots WR return-Spencer Lang and Matt Klinger.The OL will be a strength- Luke SR Spindler SR Garvin SR Dixon JR then the 5th spot will be between newcomers Smith, Garrett Scott Fr,Drew LaytonFr.Wriston returns but I am not sure he can play both sides.Alex Herndon a 6-2 TE-Wr will return from injury and will help in the passing game and blocking.Chandler Lang and Jordon Anderson will be Freshman WR.On defense they will have a great front 7 with 6 returnees.Dixon,Wriston,Garvin,and Luke on the DL.Skinner LB,Spindler LB,and Herndon rounding it out.DBs could be a weakness but they all return Watson,Klinger,Lang with Chandler Lang stepping into help as well.Fort Frye plays an easy schedule. @ River, Green, Waterford, @ RV. They could be 4-0 again with the MC game at home week 5.

I'll get back to you on that, Kapono. I'm going to poll some coaches to see if they agree with your infinite wisdom.

And, you ought to be proud of that racist post of yours that got scrubbed off of this thread. And you teach kids. Oh boy..........

[FANOSPORTS]

My pick is Monroe Central who since consolidation years ago has made many playoff appearances and continues to get to the point of seeming like they just reload every year with no drop off. Good program.

FOS - That is what continuity and great feeder programs will do for you in the small communities. When Skyvue and Woodsfield consolidated, it set the football program back a little bit, as the kids from Skyvue had never played football, and the additional enrollment moved a D VI program up to D V overnight.

Woodsfield had a very solid program before the consolidation, let's not lose sight of that. Having the same head coach for nearly 40 years and assistants who all played for Coach Circosta makes a big difference. Plus, the Sideliners club, with their financial support and volunteer labor, are second to none.

First class football facilities coupled with an outstanding weight lifting facility with ample mentoring, make for a great program. The people of Monroe county, with their financial and moral support, help to ensure that football is king in Woodsfield.
