Round 2 (11-0) Sheridan vs. (10-1) Eastmoor at DeSales

[ironman02]

Does Lancaster still have a grass playing surface? If so, Logan has the advantage over them.

[Brutusfan]

Yes it's still grass. Not in very good shape either!

[dazed&confused]

I watched the Generals physically wear out Franklin even though they didn't have the sharpest game last Saturday. As a fellow Perry Countian, beat Eastmoor and maybe I'll get to see you again at the Chief next Saturday. You'll love that field.

[black76]

Sheridan wins! Good Luck, I think you are the team to beat!

BuckeyeCav ...

You lost me as soon as you started comparing a midsummer passing league "game" to a game in Week 3. Are you kidding me? That's not even a worthy comparison.

And to add more about your New Lexington "assumption:" Those two schools are bitter rivals, the game was played in slop and New Lexington is very, very good. That 7-0 didn't surprise me. In fact, in that series, that almost qualifies as a blowout.

Playing at DeSales does not give Eastmoor an advantage, and I don't understand why anyone would think that it does. It may be closer to their school building, but it's not like Sheridan is venturing halfway across Ohio to get there, either. But of course, they'll have to put down their pitchforks and shut off their tractors before they leave.

Sheridan plays Chillicothe again -- same result. And you better hope it's on turf at Logan or similar, rather than at Fulton in Lancaster, because THAT would only favor Sheridan even more.

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

GOOD LUCK SHERIDAN , FROM FIGHTING TIGER COUNTRY.

highlights from last weeks Sheridan game...crader is a beast. watch it.

[Falcon01]

i said it on jj and ill say it here.....playing at desales still doesnt give eastmoor any advantage...its a city school...they dont travel well at all. even if it is right down the road. In all honesty i bet if this game was AT eastmoor sheridan would have more people. Schools down here follow their teams with their whole communities there....its not like that in the city. Sheridan wins this game big. eastmoor will make a couple plays that make you say wow but they will not be able to withstand the hitting that sheridan will be doing.

Hey ZV,

Is there an issue with your egotistical ego or something? I was only expressing an opinion. One right that everybody has on here.

Evidently, you have become the expert on Chillicothe Football.

Are you jealous that Chillicothe defeated your team once more, I might add, on that new turf at your stadium?

If we win Saturday against Logan Elm and Sheridan wins this week against Columbus Eastmoor, we'll have to wait and see. Week 3 verses week 13 might be different. Who knows? Chillicothe played Sheridan in a tuff 1st half in the rain and then made several mistakes in the second half losing 34-14. Were you at the Chillicothe vs Sheridan game in week 3? If not, how do you become the ultimate expert of what the outcome will be if Chillicothe has to play Sherdian again? If memory serves me right, your team is not even in the playoffs this season right? They couldn't hang in the SEOAL but three short seasons before they decided to boot the league. Right? I also know the CAVS were 2-1 against your team in the SEOAL. Maybe that is were all this negativity stems from, I don't know?

And, what makes you the resident expert what type of field would benefit Chillicothe, if they have to play Sheridan again in the playoffs? Have you watched the CAVS play every game this season? Do you know what type of field the CAVS benefited from this season? Grass or Artificial Turf?

Don't count out any team in the playoffs. It's a new season when week 11 starts.

BuckeyeCav, you can change your user name all you want, but you are still the most ignorant poster this forum has ever seen. Opinions? how about stupid, period. Dude, you are truly about three french fries short of a happy meal. A passing scrimmage? Close games with New Lexington, Tri Valley and John Glenn. New Lexington has been rated in the top of the state polls and region all year. Tri Valley in the top ten all year. Here are a few facts for you bright guy. Sheridan beat the snot out of your Cavs, didnt just win, beat the snot out of you. Played with three key starters on the bench and the QB and DB injured. The rain you like to cry about helped you more than them or it would have been worse, their jv's would have played even more than they did. Speed, i can not get over watching the tape and seeing Sheridan out run Chilli all night long. They have plenty speed and athletes.

More facts. New Lexington, Tri Valley and John Glenn would beat Chillicothe anyday of the week. If you get this rematch you are running your mouth about, Sheridan will beat you worse than last time. All their kids are healthy and they are passing, running and hitting on all cylinders. Fact, you have only played three really good teams and have lost to all three. You did not win the SEOAL, Logan did and your wins are against average teams at best. I pray you do win Saturday, I want nothing more than to get to go to this rematch and watch the beating in person this time. Then as usual you will go back in hiding untill you can beat a average or below average team, and you will pop up again to run off at the mouth. Man, you make it so hard to talk without being mad, but your comments are just incredible.

By the way, all your preseason smack ended up as predicted. Lost to the good, beat the bad, and once again watching the Purple take the Championship home.

[Army]

Drifter,

Keep up the great work with your insults. That's real maturity huh?

[BuckeyeCAV]

Army,

Thanks for recognizing the same. I don't know why Drifter has to be so angry. He thinks I am someone else on here evidently. I guess one cannot express their opinion concerning the speed of one football team without being cut down and insulted by cyber bullies that have all knowledge; and no one else can have an opinion. If they do, they get insulted.

[Zanes-Vegas]

BuckeyeCAV ...

And I was only stating MY opinion, too. It's laughable for anyone to use a passing scrimmage from 4-5 months ago to handicap a playoff game in November. Raging guffaws come to mind.

BTW -- You were down two TDs with about 10 minutes left against us, and got lucky against a tiring team playing a lot of first-year players. To that point in the game, you were dominated by Zanesville. Just like last year. So what exactly are you bragging about?

BTW2 -- Our "playoff-less" Blue Devils went 5-5 for the season. But guess what, we were FIVE POINTS from winning the SEOAL this season -- a bad three-point loss to you guys, and a two-point loss at Logan. That's with almost all new players taking over from last year's team. Five points.

I was not surprised Sheridan won easily at Herrnstein in Week 3. You see, what I may not know about Chillicothe football I most certainly DO about Sheridan football. I am not Zanesville-exclusive. I've spent a lot of time both broadcasting and covering the Generals over the years. And I will say it again -- they will do it again in a regional championship matchup. I don't care if it's Week 74. You guys are simply not as good as you think you are.

Lastly, regarding us leaving the SEOAL. You're right -- it is about competition (not the lousy travel that we cited in the first place). Let's see -- our other three losses this year (Licking Valley, Wheeling Park, St. Charles) were to teams Chillicothe would not come close to either, but we still elect to play those types of teams. But of course, you're an expert on all things Zanesville now that Chillicothe is finally in a league situation where it can actually be competitive.

Honest to God, I think the Ironton folks are going to be mad that Chillicothe will soon assume the crown -- for having the league's most overwrought fans.

Zanes-Vegas,

Got lucky, you must be kidding. Your team was defeated because they couldn't stop Caleb Knights. Period! As for dominated, you mean like Chillicothe did with Givens and Beeler in 2006 against your ZV Blue Devils? As for losing, it doesn't matter if the score was by 30 points, you all lost. And in the 4th quarter to our CAVS on your new turf.

Although it's just a scrimmage, Chillicothe has St. Charles Prep every year on their schedule. We defeated them last year at home in the last minute and tied them up there this season at their place. So yes, we do know a little bit about St. Charles Prep. As for larger schools Chillicothe has always played DI through DIII schools that make the playoffs almost every year. So our CAVS too, know competition. Like Brookhaven...2005 DII State Champions, 2007 DIII State Champions, Big Walnut who we defeated at their place this season. And Sherdian who is a powerhouse from the MVL.

In closing, the competition remark, I assume you are meaning that your team cannot compete with those SEOAL Schools

Because our CAVS are 2-1 verses your Blue Devils in the SEOAL. Logan is 3-0. And Ironton is 1-1. In the first season Chillicothe, Ironton, Logan romped you all. In 2007, Logan continued the streak. This year Logan and Chillicothe did the deed. Was it, that your Blue Devil's thought they were going to rule the SEOAL in football and basketball, so they joined the SEOAL and found out the opposite?

Just wondering?

Chillicothe isn't going anywhere....we are staying in the SEOAL.

It seems you all are not.

What was it you stated about the SEOAL? "Lastly, regarding us leaving the SEOAL. You're right -- it is about competition (not the lousy travel that we cited in the first place)."

As for Sheridan, we won't know unless they have to play against each other again. Will we?

Heck, maybe you all can get into the MVL if you try hard enough. Then Tri-Valley, Sherdian, New Lexington and John Glenn will have another victory to add to their tradition.

Good Luck out there being an independent again. I am sure Steubenville needs another win on their schedule too.

[loganlocos]

Although Logan is a SEOAL school it's way to close to Sheridan. Our CAVS are already playing on a playoff site that is only 10 miles from LE. And is a MSL School site.

Thanks but no thanks

According to MapQuest:

Chillicothe - Logan: 42 miles, 54 minutes
Sheridan - Logan: 29.5 miles, 40 minutes

Chillicothe - Lancaster: 36 miles, 51 minutes
Sheridan - Lancaster: 18 miles, 25 minutes

Chillicothe - Jackson: 30 miles, 38 minutes
Thornville - Jackson: 72 miles, 1 hour, 43 minutes

Logan is obviously a much better location for this game in terms of staying neutral.

I also wouldn't be surprised to Zanesville get the game, which in my opinion, would be unfair to Chillicothe despite being the lower seed.

Jackson is pretty much out of the question IMO. GREAT stadium, but I think it's obvious that asking either team to drive an HOUR farther than the other, over twice as far, is unlikely when there are so many other available sites.

[BuckeyeCAV]

True, but don't forget what the OHSAA did to Waverly last year concerning the playoff site vs Westfall at Teays Valley. Waverly traveled about 50 miles, while Westfall traveled what, 15 miles?

If our CAVS are fortunate to get week 13 and the game is a rematch against Sheridan, I would prefer Lancaster or even back to Teays Valley which would be a Non-SEOAL site. Just my two cents on here. Thus, creating no hard feelings from one school stating the field was from the other teams league, concerning Logan or Jackson. With that stated, Chillicothe wouldn't care where they have to play as long as they are in week 13. We are just excited we are in the playoffs and trying to advance against a well prepared LE team this Saturday. Time will tell after this week.

Both teams have to get by week 12 first. I know Chillicothe is not taking Bart and his Logan Elm Braves for granted at Teays Valley Saturday, no matter what they are saying on here. And I suspect likewise, that Sheridan will not be taking Columbus Eastmoor Academy for granted at Desales Stadium either.

Here's wishing best success to all three SEOAL Teams this week to advance.

Good Luck to both Sheridan and Eastmoor in their playoff game as well.

[WitnessProtection]

OHSAA seems to favor turf over natural, which bodes well for Logan, Jackson, Zanesville, OU and anywhere else in SE Ohio that has turf. Seating capacity is a major concern for OHSAA, too. I know Jackson seats a little more than 7,000. What's the capacity for Logan and Zanesville?

[noreply66]

With Logan I have heard from 5,500 to 7,000--
A top guy told me 5000 home side 2000 visitors ?????

[EDD]

Good Luck to Sheridan.

[LICKING COUNTY FAN]

EASTMOOR WITH THAT SPEED HAVE JUMPED OUT IN FRONT 14-0 LATE FIRST HALF.
