  UGLY

  You didn't write UGLY correctly. It should be bold, underlined and italicized and probably a larger font if possible. UGLY
  
  Or whatever synonym you want to use would work too: unattractive, unsightly, nasty....

  The Wood better have all their freshmen dressed for this one.

  What happened at Trail?????? I watched them play in the Play-offs just a couple of years ago......they even hosted that game. New coach or something????
• barbarian

  Yes that coach is gone, but I think he was there for the following year when they went 0-10. Trail just had a nice couple of classes. Most of their history has been dismal with a couple spikes here and there. When they had Jeff Snedegar in the mid-90's they were pretty good. Seems like they are a program of sub .500 teams with a great team or two every 12 years or so.

  If Trail is not that good why in the world did Ridgewood put them on there schedule for? No disrespect intended, just wondering why.

  How did Ridgewood look against Newark Catholic?
• pretender

  I heard that they did not look very good against Newark Catholic but was not able to be there my self.
• SilverHammer

  The Varsity part of the scrimmage ended up 1-1. NC scored on a long pass, Ridgewood on a long run. They ran three series of 10 plays each I believe.

  Was wondering that myself. Ridgewood went 10-0 last year and only got the 6th seed. Undefeated teams should get a week 11 home game at the very least. Then they replaced their only good ooc team in Shadyside with Buckeye Trail. Trail might win 2 games but I doubt it. Unless River View is expecting a big year, Ridgewood can't rely on much OOC Harbin points at least from SCC and Trail. I don't know what Ridgewood is expecting to have, but if Reg 19 is as tough to get in as it was last year then 9-1 won't get you in. 10-0 might not if 19 is what it was last year.
• general94

  I think they scheduled Trail after 2007 when they went 10-0, and nobody expected SCC to fall on the hard times they are having now. You never know when you schedule teams 2-3 years in advance. I agree though, the Wood will probably have to run the table this year to even sniff the postseason, as the IVC will probably be subpar again too. I would have liked to seen Shadyside stay on, and I wish RV was off all together.

  On Trail's end I think they are overscheduling. Ridgewood was a state semifinal team last year. Barnesville is a tough D5 team no matter what they have. And Linsly is a private academy that you never know what you will be getting. This year Linsly is loaded. St. Johns is a winnable game for Trail. Kudos to Trail for playing such a rough ooc schedule but they may want to tone it down a little.
• barbarian

  Ridgewood should give Barnvesville a call. That's a good matchup and a good points game for both teams. Barnesville can usually be counted on for points. They did have a down year recently, but usually they have a solid program.
• SilverHammer

  Next Year Ridgewood Will have Applecreek Waynedale in week two, and a good chance that Shadyside will be week three to replace Riverview from what I here. Problem is, thats next year.
• general94

  ^^^^^Sounds good. As for this year, I believe the Wood is very capable of running the table. Just do that boys and let the chips fall.
• tigerfan82

  the way Hiland is loading up, running the table might be tough 94.............oops, damn, sorry about that buddy....wrong sport

  Who are some key players for the wood?
