2018 Playoff news and notes. State Finals Edition!

[LucasDavenport]

Brief interlude in the McComb v Trimble talk

Chagrin Falls Kenston is in The D3 State Championship v Kettering Alter.

Kenston is making its 3rd State Title Appearance

The kicking game has been the downfall or reason for both losses. 7-6 loss to CAPE in 1986. Blocked PAT with 39 seconds left. 3-0 loss to Clyde in 1995. 32 yard FG with less than 2:00 to play.

Therefore you know The Kicking Game is not overlooked by Kenston. Last year both kickers went down in Week 1. In the days before Week 2 the Trainer won the job. She has been their kicker ever since. This year Senior Anna Sanders is 59-65 on PAT and 6-6 on FGs.

Buddy this is Trimble 's McComb Thread DVII not DVIII Chargin Falls

[LucasDavenport]

I will try and figure this out RaiderCat! I just thought some people would like that D8 story on Chargin Falls.

Thanks for the heads Up!

It’s always good to make new friends on here. I want you all to know who read this thread that I saw this when I was brushing my teeth and I’m glad no one saw the outcome of that!

I changed the header on the 1st post a few times and yes a few weren’t the nicest.... enough shade is thrown in this board without me adding more.

Good Monday Morning!!

After I get back from Columbus there will be more info on Chargin Falls and possibly the DIX game as I haven’t touched that one yet!

There is no DVIII, it’s DIII.

Thanks. Somehow I’ve done all this work and there are at least 2 of you who have no clue.

I now know there’s no DVIII.

You typed DVIII and D8 at least twice. So if you know it, why do you keep typing it.

[one Oak]

Perhaps there is some sarcasm involved here.

I have really enjoyed this article good stuff I hope you keep it up very informative.ty

[VetteMan]

I have also enjoyed all the information throughout the playoffs.

Any possibility the Johnstown vs. Wheelersburg game will make an attendance record for non state finals or does the semi-final not count in that? Anyone know what the final attendance was? For DV the biggest game was 7000 something.

This is what caused it. Somehow you missed my D9 reference as well. And the Chargin Falls instead of Chagrin Falls.

I will post more tonight. Mattash asked that my Trimble v McComb info be copied and pasted over to the Game thread so I did that last night. Also posted some Orrville info on that game thread for JHS as I have liked his posts on here.

[CATillac]

Thanks for all the work you put into this thread. Found everything very interesting and well put together.

I’m trying to find an answer to your question.

The finals record listed in the State Records Book for a stand-alone game is 9098 in 2000
for the Amanda Clearcreek v Bedford St Peter Chanel game. However, I don’t believe that’s been updated to reflect last year’s crowd of 9778 for Wheelersburg v Pemberville Eastwood.

[55buckeyes98]

I thought I read in the program at the game that a non-finals game record was around 7000. Most were in the 5000s. I think that game could at least be on the list. Thanks!

Just to add on to LD's excellent post.

For those that don't know Marion Local is the same league as Coldwater, Minster and Ft. Recovery. Their league is 10-4 in state championship games since 2013. One loss came when two of the teams meet in the Finals. One loss was to Canton Central Catholic. The other two are to Kirtland.
