    D1: 2 privates (St. Iggy and St X) and 2 publics (Whitmer and Pick Central) in the semis.
    D2: 4 publics (Aurora, Avon, Trotwood-Madison, Marion Franklin) in the semis.
    D3: 1 private (Mooney) and 3 publics (Chagrin Falls, Elida, Springfield Shawnee) in the semis.
    D4: 4 publics (Norwayne, Johnston-Monroe, Kenton, Clinton-Massie) in the semis.
    D5: 4 publics (Kirtland, Bucyrus Wynford, Coldwater, Hicksville) in the semis.
    D6: 1 private (Delphos St. John's), 3 publics (Berlin Center, New Washington Buckeye Central, Maria Stein Marion Local)

    So it looks like you get AT LEAST 50% of the titles this year. D6 State Championship will be decided this coming weekend between Delphos and Marion Local. D1 and D3 still have the possibility of no private schools in the title game.

    Good thing everyone wants the playoffs split. It would give the private schools a little better chance to get more titles.
    Go MOONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I like how he just ignored the whole "only 4 of 24 semifinalists are privates" part (maybe because he'd have had to add up numbers, which might be beyond him, to come up with that total) to attempt making a point that has nothing to do with that.

    Even by this site's standards of idiot trolls, he's on a whole 'nother level. I'd say it's the "too stupid to even make fun of" level, but, no, it's still entertaining to do that, so he's not there yet.

    Nice to see the Public schools making a come back this year. As mentioned by Heretic, 20 of the 24 schools in the semi-finals are public....way to go !

    50% aint too bad...but considering Just 14% of the entire playoffs were Privates.....I would assume 68% - 84% a little more realistic when talking numbers of Championships ;)

    When people bring this up...I just have to shake my head. This line of thinking just makes no sense at all.

    The AL East makes up about 16% of the MLB teams. Yet, since 1994 (when MLB went to three divisions in each league) the AL East has won 41% of the championships. They must be cheaters, right? They should probably have their own playoffs.

    Not your best analogy Sherm. Since 2 of the BIGGEST $$$ spending teams are in AL East.

    The point is, just because a few teams (in the analogy the Yankees and BoSox) win a bunch of championships, doesn't mean you should penalize everyone associated with them (like the Orioles and the Blue Jays). Why penalize all the private schools by forcing them into their own playoffs because Mooney, Delphos St. John's, Iggy, and St. Ed win a lot of titles? It just doesn't make sense.

    How about how from 1982 to 1997 the NFC won 94% of the Super Bowls yet made up 50% of the league. Those darn NFC cheaters! :mad:

    LOL...Now that you mention it...and factor in the Yankees and Redsox payrolls.....perhaps you ARE comparing apples to apple...;)

    According to Skank the Yankees and Red Sox spend squat compared to the parochial schools. Everyone knows that the parochial schools will spend any amount to win a high school football game. I knew a guy who knew a guy whose brother in law knew a guy who said the parochial schools spend millions to win. :rolleyes:

It's unbelievable that the hardworking students at these schools get all the accolades while Private school kids get called cheaters for the success that they have.

    P.S. After my team won state, leaving the stadium fans from the opposing team yelled things like; recruits, cheaters, and "we'd kick your "butt" if we recruited. All of this with me knowing that every player on my team (except one 6th grade) were classmates of mine since kindergarten.


    You guys kill me, always use the same couple of schools as an example. You do realize the are approx 750 football playing schools in Ohio, with MOST being public....Right?

    Never said that, but now that you mention it, looks like vouchers are the new, "free agency".

    That's because those schools win a lot of titles on the field. And guess what? They are public schools.

    Once the playoffs wrap up, look for my in depth analogy.

    And if Mr. Kasich has his way it's going to get worse for you before it gets better.

    Ok ok, I give in, you're right I guess, two or three publics win "a lot" of titles, (out of approx 680), so I guess everything is fair. ;)

    Worse? You mean 10% of the schools will win ALL of the titles instead of 75%?

    Thank you for admitting that I'm right. :thumbup:

    Well, if Moeller brought in kids from Texas....And parts unknown, Iggy gets kids from Brecksville, Rocky River, Painsville, Oregon...We all know about the Youngstown area all star teams known as Mooney and Ursuline....But if Coldwater can win a couple of titles, everything is on the up and up....Then you're right.

    The Steelers, Cowboys, 49ers, and Packers have won 44% of all Super Bowls played yet make up only ~13% of the league.

    The Yankees, Cardinals, Athletics, and Red Sox have won 50% of all World Series played (thats out of 107 World Series!) and make up only ~13% of the league.

    The Lakers, Celtics, and Bulls have won 63% of all NBA Finals played and make up only 10% of the league.

    So basically.....all sports are dominated by a few teams, none of them are fair.
