Week 1 Portsmouth West at Newark Catholic
Just looked on the N.C. website and this game is listed as a Friday Night affair at Ohio Dominican?

Newark Catholic looks like a good group in the photo. What does everyone think about this match-up? Don't know much about West this year other than they have experience returning. How does West look?

That’s not the current team photo is it? #7 was the Crouch kid from last year who signed with Illinois right?newarkcatholicfan wrote:Just looked on the N.C. website and this game is listed as a Friday Night affair at Ohio Dominican?

Re: Week 1 Portsmouth West at Newark Catholic
Yeah I seen that. Thank you. NC was very quick on both sides of the ball last year from my take in the playoffs. Will have to fill a big hole at QB, the Crouch boy was very good.
This coming from the West post, they have a new identity and tons of speed/experience. This game could turn into a track meet? Should be exciting.

Seen west at Jackson 7on7. They looked good but I think NC will be a little too much for them.

I hope to catch a scrimmage or two from Newark Catholic, so I will be able to make a better prediction on the game.
As of now with N.C. has no ready to play QB in the system(From what I am being told by good sources), with that in mind I can see West winning this one easily.

Re: Week 1 Portsmouth West at Newark Catholic
How many did they lose from last years team? I doubt I would go as far to say West would win easily, but coming from you....you almost have to wonder lol.newarkcatholicfan wrote:I hope to catch a scrimmage or two from Newark Catholic, so I will be able to make a better prediction on the game.

I do hope West can bring back a victory to Scioto County though, but I don’t think it will be easy.

Re: Week 1 Portsmouth West at Newark Catholic
How many seniors did West lose? Is Newark Catholic D6 or D7?

Re: Week 1 Portsmouth West at Newark Catholic
N.C. IS D-6
They lost 18 seniors from last years team.
The would be starting QB played at MT Vernon last season and was all conference.
I think there are 5 or six other seniors playing and starting for other teams, that would have been part of this years seniors class.
I was told by some who took in the JV games last year that it was luck if the team moved the ball across the 50 yard line.

Re: Week 1 Portsmouth West at Newark Catholic
The one advantage I can see the Green Wave having is, West traveling this far on a Friday after school and then playing the game.
Re: Week 1 Portsmouth West at Newark Catholic
Sounds like West got lucky getting NC this year. Rally sounds like they could be down.
West should have a great deal of returning players this year. One thing for sure Coach - T did not leave and not have the new coach setup for success.

I agree. He started a lot of those players when they were sophs and freshman. Sounds like NC is the underdog in this one. Good Luck West!
Re: Week 1 Portsmouth West at Newark Catholic
NC is a perennial power in Ohio. They are a private school and they are always good. They may or may not be as good compared to the really good teams from the last couple years but they will still be very good and very well coached.
I keep reading about all this experience West and it's really not anymore than any other year. We have a few 3 year starters but we are quite inexperienced in several positions.

Re: Week 1 Portsmouth West at Newark Catholic
We have several 3 year starters, the QB for one and the a lot of others who saw valuable time last year and the year before. Good luck tonight in the OVC preview West! Beat the Grove!

Yes! Trip was very good at getting kids ready to play. West is the "Dark Horse" in SOC II this year IMO.game day wrote:

Re: Week 1 Portsmouth West at Newark Catholic
Does anyone think the 2-2.5 hour trip after school will have much of a impact on West?
Anyone know why this was moved from a Sat game to a Friday game?
