By the way, I think I did the impossible on my picks for Regional Final Saturday. I was perfect!!!

I mean it’s impossible to be perfect but I pulled it off!!

Thank you. Thank you. Yes, you over there — thank you.

I was 0-12. Missed every pick. All 12. The odds of missing all 12 if you blindly picked them are 1 in 4096.

I will stick to the notes and research and the slightly funny anecdotes and retire from picking.

Of the 12 teams who won Regional Titles tonight only 2 were defending champs from last year:

Wheelersburg D5 R20 (R19 last year)
Cuyahoga Heights D7 R25

Last night 9 of 16 were defending champs and tonight 2 of 12.

So 11 teams defended their Regional Title this year.

4 teams won their first Regional Title

Girard D4 R13
Seneca East D6 R22
Fort Frye D6 R23
Fort Loramie D7 R28

Seneca East was 0-6 all time before 2018. Is it ironic that they play Marion Local who at 75-10 is all-time leader in playoff wins?

[LucasDavenport]

Remember that Competitive Balance thing?

You can count the private schools remaining on 1 hand.

28 schools remain.

3 private. St Edward, Hoban, Alter.

If I’m missing one let me know. St Mary’s is public if you are wondering — cause I was.

Divisions 4—7 all public.

[LucasDavenport]

Good luck to Wheelersburg and Trimble !

Fort Frye is from the East District. Amanda Clearcreek is Central (I think).

I was wondering if Cols.Eastmoor Academy is private,they use to be just Cols.Eastmoor

[LucasDavenport]

May want to change the CH to Trimble if you want to go perfect again.Trimble a lot like the 2013 team to us not a upset

[LucasDavenport]

Did you read that whole post?

You should be paying me not to pick Trimble!

I am pulling for Trimble and Fort Frye and Burg. It’s good for all of us when southern Ohio has success.

Girard D4 R13

Fort Loramie D7 R28

Seneca East was 0-6 all time before 2018. Is it ironic that they play Marion Local who at 75-10 is all-time leader in playoff wins?

Would have been more fun for Seneca East and Fort Frye to play. Guarantee a new team makes it to the final.

Possibly. I understand the thought.

But, there are some who think that Kirtland and Marion Local will be the best final. And, that the 2 D6 semifinals will both be lopsided.
