  As bobcat4life mentioned, only one returning starter and he has a history of knee problems. I expect to current sophs to be take two positions and two current juniors to fill out the line. I expect them to be alright, not outstanding, but not bad either.
  

  champ01 wrote: will the big running back be effective again?

  Yes, if he is still a RB. Cunningham is a BIG kid, as evidenced by the fact he plays def tackle. He may just get too big to stay in the backfield, or the new coach might decide the team is better off with him playing some where else.
  

  champ01 wrote:Who's their best player returning? (on both sides of the ball)

  I would say Cunnigham on offense, Batt on defense.
  

  champ01 wrote:how will the defense be? (Winkle down there usually has the play well.)

  
  
  Defense should be ok. Few more players returning on this side of the ball. And there are some JV guys that I think will step up.
  

  champ01 wrote:and who is there captains gonna be who will lead that team? (i think if the have some good leaders they can turn that team around with a good coach)

  
  
  Batt is the only one I would say for sure, probably Jennings and Bankey also.
  

  champ01 wrote:Who will the coach be? (if you have any idea)

  Your guess is as good as mine. Aungst might be one candidate from the current staff. I have another name in mind that I think is getting consideration. Other than that, I have no idea.
• BGbobcat4life

  So far from what i have heard Bankey has said he will not play because of all of his knee injuries. However he might change his mind when it gets closer to the season but as of right now he is not playing
• champ01

  If bankey being not able to play that would kill an already thin o line. i heard a sophomore started last year some games as well? it may not be true. BUt do you know if any of the BG kids have any looks as of colleges or where they may continue their playing careers? if any of them have the ability to play at the next level? im just curious as i use to live in BG awhile back
• BGbobcat4life

  Yes a sophomore did start last year he was the one i was referring too in my earlier post but like i said he only started in 4 or 5 games last year

  I have heard the same thing about Bankey not playing next season. I didn't want to speculate since I have no idea if it is true or not.

  Jeff Nichols for president..i mean head coach..wait..never mind..
• NLLBEST

  The most important thing for me right now is finding out about A-W's o-line. I know last year green and Bridges were both jr's (the rb and slot). Both should be strong runners again this season but will they have a good line to block for them? If so they might be the top competitor with Southview right now IMO.
• rmolin73

  

  It appears as though AW took a big hit on the offensive line so I think they will have alot of first timers starting for them.
• NLLBEST

  Well from what I hear I now belive Maumee has one of the toughest out-of-conference schedules in the nll. (even though they play waite and bowsher). Now I hear Maumee has dropped Woodward and added...Columbus Desales the D3 state runner up.
• SVCougar1978

  Great for Maumee. Is the agreement for two years?
• phbobcat

  Is BG done with the Toledo CC series. If so, what team will they pick up? Will the still have Napoleon and Fostoria on the schedule next year?
• rmolin73

  

  That is a good pick up for Maumee.
• NLLBEST

  No it is a one year deal at Maumee this year.
• rmolin73

  

  But it is good that they are heading in the right direction when it comes to scheduling.
• NLLBEST

  Yea I believe they wanted to schedule a catholic city team but couldn't get any of them to agree to a 1 year deal.
• rmolin73

  

  It will give them an opportunity to see where they are at as a team. Where as the previous shedule kept people guessing. I lwould like to see more NLL teams schedule outside of Toledo.
• SVCougar1978

  I would love to see Southview schedule Cincinnati Anderson for a two year home and away series. They could make it a Saturday game.
• rmolin73

  

  That would be a nice grab by Southview but from what I heard about their AD and scheduling it won't happen.
• SVCougar1978

  Scheduling Toledo St. Francis is a good move for Southview. Love to see a state power from Cleveland, Columbus or even Cincinnati (as I mentioned Anderson.....for obvious reasons) in week three.
  
  I love Maumee playing Columbus St. Francis this coming year. Certainly a major transition from Woodward (no offense to Woodward.....I have great respect for their players and coaches and understand how difficult it is for them.....another thread on this perhaps?). Maumee will reap many rewards from this game. The local media will be all over this game. There will be great excitement and anticipation for the whole Maumee community (and NW Ohio) for this game. Even if Maumee loses the game they are still winners in many ways.
  
  Back to Southview....I have spoken with the SV AD many times about scheduling. I understand his logic when it comes to SV's football schedule. He has a tough job as the SV AD and I think he does it very well, overall. He did schedule SFS and I do not think he would have done that five years ago. So maybe the week three power from one of the three C's is not out of the question.
• rmolin73

  

  SVCougar1978 why wouldn't he have scheduled them five years ago. I will have to agree though that was a good move on his part picking up St. Francis just hoping that next years outcome will be better.
• SVCougar1978

  rmolin73....in my opinion, the SV AD knows that as a public school Sylvania Southview is at the mercy of the ebb and flow of talent in each class that lives in the SV district. Private schools (SFS, CCHS and SJJ) do win more consistently. A public school is taking a risk making a multi-year agreement with a private school. But I do believe that the SV AD has seen SV win very consistently and is now willing to take that chance. Again, this is just my opinion. I cannot speak for the SV AD. And of course, we SV fans are all hoping for a win against SFS next year.
  
  Coach Mayzes deserves a ton of credit for building a consistent winner at Southview. SV is now a state-champion and a state runner-up. Sylvania schools offer a great education. Now kids growing up in the SV district want to play football at SV instead of at the private schools.

  I believe that bg is going to play toledo cc at bgsu in the first game.

  Strangely, this schedule does show BG playing both Fostoria and Napoleon, but no game is listed for week 1.
• NLLBEST

  the site has all NLL games moved back to 730 again this year?
• phbobcat

  Hope TCC is on the schedule and playing at the Doyt will be a bonus..
