Guys,
I just love this video. Is that the largest division in Ohio?? Got to love the spread vs the power/option and that Stack-I.

LOL.
DCOhio,
I was more into the Maryland-I (stack-I) at the goal line and the music. It was also nice to see some power offense doing so well at that division.
John

You have to be from Ohio to understand how tired we are of hearing about HD....You would think this team was Paul Brown's Massillion Tiger teams all over again

thats weird...... they certainly didnt DOMINATE by any stretch. i dont know why all the talk is about how they are an all-time great team. great video, and i can uhnderstand how they were a good team (their o-line was outdtanding)... but they won the state final in double (or triple?) o.t..... which to me means that they were better ... slightly better... than that mentor team. anyway, congrats on a state to those boys.

I'm not from Ohio and I've never heard of Hiliard Davidson. I can also understand how you can get sick of hearing about a team. Please understand then that I'm not being flippant when I say- beat them, then.

wow.. nothing like running a big bruising back in there behind all those hogs..
Now.. the kid got lucky maybe.. not sure if it would have mattered because the game was over.. but as he crossed that line and spiked that ball.. some officials out there probably would have flagged that.. but like I said.. the game was over at that point I guess..

I love their line splits! I mean HD. I wish they showed the Mentor highlights too though. It'd been more fun to see it where they showed highlights of both squads. (Though whenever it is for one team you get way more defensive highlights.)

It was one hell of a game. D1 State Title game, 21-21 at the end of regulation. Davidson had the ball first in OT, had to convert a 4th and 1, then went on to score. Mentor tied it. 2nd overtime, Mentor had the ball first, scored, kicked the PAT. Davidson scores. Calls 2 consecutive Time Outs, goes for 2, and obviously made it. I was on Mentor's side (not a fan, just closer to where I parked), it was a mad house most definitely but when they lined up to go for 2, you could hear a pin drop. Mentor was a spread team. QB threw for 320+ yards. Davidson attempted 3 passes...completed 1 and said "enough of that monkey business, pound the rock" and rushed for 300 yds. The reason HD is so fired up about it is because in Big School Ohio, the perenial powers are in the Northeast (Region 1) and Southwest (Region 4). Cleveland area and Cincinnati area. HD came out of Region 3, which is the columbus area. They are the first team out of Columbus to win a title for quite some time. They were the underdog all the way through the playoffs, no one thought they could win....you know, the whole RUDY story. The fans are the ones who keep poking everyone with the State Championship needle. Go to any Ohio HS Football message board and you can still read all about how great HD is/was/are/will be/etc. I'm happy they are proud of their team, but come on HD fans...you are SUPPOSE to win, they would have given you the runner-up trophy. And Phantom, we are D2 right now, but will be D1 before long and we will be in Region 3 and sincerely look forward to getting my hands on HD, always like to play good teams. DC, understand that I didn't mean that as a dig. In our league we have a national power who gets a lot of attention. From the 70s until 1990 we'd beaten them once, a forfeit after the guys won handily on the field. After beating them on the field in 1990, thay handled us for a decade. They were the local media darlings and we couldn't beat them. It was frustrating. I got really, REALLY, sick of reading, hearing, and seeing them. Still am. In 2000 we started a great run. We had a great run of talent, our staff matured, and we had some good luck. We started beating them and now it's not an upset. In 2005 they won states and I never got physically ill. I didn't like it but it didn't cause a visceral reaction. |

I would love that opportunity to get after them but the school I am right now is D V (the second smallest in Ohio)....maybe some day though...

Phantom - I've been at this a long time my friend. I in no way shape or form took that as a dig. At my previous school we played in a league with a 6 time state champion. We got to play them during the time they set the then state record 54 game winning streak. They were good, very good and even though we always gave them a black and blue ball game and our games were almost always close...14-13, 14-7.....they always seemed to make that one or 2 plays they needed to beat us. I never harbored any resentment towards them, I put them on the top of our list. I placed them on the "benchmark" pedastal, and eventually what we did was we took dead aim at them and tried to get our program to their level. Even though we were always close to them, we were never quite able to get over that hump. In 2000 we finally beat them. 17-14. We had a dramatic goalline stand 1st and Goal from the 3 yd line. With about 3 minutes left. FINALLY we had made the play to win it for us. What caught me was, as our kids were losing their minds, their kids were lined up on the 50 waiting on to shake up. Their kids came through the line saying "good game" no different in the year we beat them than in all the years they had beaten us. Their coaches were the same way. What went unnoticed until later reflection, in our pursuit of reaching that team was we became a pretty good football team ourselves. That win gave us the league title and was the last year of that league. We go into a different league in 2001 and we promptly win 5 straight league titles and our worst record was 8-2. I don't look down my nose at HD, I respectfully look up to them and their program...but at the same time, I want to play them, I want to play the best of the best, I want the opportunity to knock Goliath off his mountain top. Who wants to go out there and play that team you beat 70-0? I sure don't. I want us to play good teams & good programs. If you have comparable kids, that's how you get good. You won't get good..really good playing Sister Mary's Catholic School for the Blind every week. That's just my opinion. Great post. Good read, good background story, well written. Thumbs up. (And I totally agree.) |

DCOhio seems to always have something very insightful and positive to say. Good post. One question, what offense and defense did you run when you struck the Philistine?
