I’m wondering how most of you guys that have made a score/winner prediction came to your conclusion. Is it by previous years records/trends? I usually try to watch a lot of film that’s available and look at position matchups. This isn’t a shot at anyone or an attempt at starting an argument, I’m genuinely curious.
Bexley’s program has just been uncompetitive for so long. Since August 2021 they have wins over three programs: Lakewood, Grandview Heights, and Mifflin. Go back another year, it’s those three and KIPP in one of their first years of football.
Lakewood — chronically underachieving program. Lions just lost to them by three scores a couple weeks ago.
Grandview — great coach, but a way smaller school than Bexley and has faced serious numbers challenges for several years now.
Mifflin — City League programs in general have been bad for the last few years. Mifflin may be the worst of them all. Haven’t won since 2019.
The way I see it, a win over NY would be the first time in a long time that Bexley football gets a win over an opponent they aren’t expected to beat. It would be great for them! If this was NY vs the Bexley when John Smith was there, it’d be a pick’em or slight edge to the Lions.
Fun fact: Bexley’s freshman starter at QB? Greg Frey’s son.
Thanks for the reply!
If that QB is a freshman he’s got a great future ahead of him. I went back on Maxpreps and saw their record of years past and just assumed what you explained as far as what’s happened to them over the years. Thanks again!
He’ll be pretty good as soon as next year. He doesn’t have far to go for training and lessons.

Took the words out of my mouth.
