    Regardless, he will be better off for it.
    Probably true, except for the part where he's now pitching at a Junior College in Mississippi.

    I'd just rather see a school pull an offer than an actual scholarship. That's my perspective. Can you imagine being that kid's parents? Talk about financial strain. If the kid's not any good, tough. You shouldn't have offered him. If he's getting in trouble with the law, etc., then that's a different issue altogether. I'm guessing Akron will encounter this issue with one of their soon to be receivers in a year or so.

    If Akron keeps the offer on the table for Dennis then their recruiter for this area should be fired!!

    He should already have been fired...

    Seems like if a school realizes that someone has smaller-school talent after they've already given the scholarship, then they didn't do a good enough job watching him during the period of the offer.

    I will say this about the Dennis situation. I hope he gets good enough to be a functional part of the team at Akron. I don't think he will, but I hope I'm wrong.
  • RobBamsey
    I think he will be a part of Phil Steele's preseason All-American team. IMO.

    All D1 and D2 scholarships are offered on a year to year basis. All prospective athletes are informed that they must prove each year they are valuable enough to the program to be offered a scholarship the next year. This is nothing new. If it appears you will never be able to contribute, your scholarship will be pulled and offered to someone else. It's just the way it is.

    Agree to both, you think someone at Akron would be up in arms, lets face it the are not winning and this shows why.

    Norwayne maintains
    high state ratings
    NORWAYNE—Superintendent
    Karen O’Hare
    gave an update at a recent
    board meeting on the district’s
    state report card
    ratings.
    It was the first report
    card released under the
    new rating system.
    “One of the goals of the
    new report card was to
    make it easier for parents
    and the community to
    read and understand their
    school district’s results
    and ratings,” said O’Hare.
    O’Hare said it is still a
    complex system, and it is
    the district’s responsibility
    to make sure the parents
    and community members
    can understand how the
    district compares with
    others in the state.
    Norwayne ranked 38th
    out of 882 schools in the
    state. The district met 24 of
    24 indicators and achieved
    an A rating for indicators
    met. It had a performance
    index score of 89.6 percent,
    which resulted in a B rating.
    In the progress category,
    the district’s overall valueadded
    rating was an A.
    “There will be more component
    grades added to
    the report card in 2015 and
    our challenge as a district
    is not only to maintain our
    high ratings, but to respond
    to the new challenges facing
    education today,” said
    O’Hare. “Norwayne is considered
    to be one of the best
    districts in the state and this
    distinction only comes with
    the commitment and hard
    work on the part of the students,
    staff and the support
    of a very caring community.
    Our goal is to keep all
    stakeholders informed as we
    move our educational programs
    forward continually
    evaluating what is best for
    our children at every level.”
    Various permanent
    improvement projects
    were approved at the
    board meeting.
    The projects included
    guards on band and storage
    cabinets, at a cost of $910
    by Stoller Custom Cabinets;
    fencing, at a cost of $4,810 by
    Austin Deck & Fence and
    water treatment for boilers,
    at a cost of $800 by Patriot.
    All of the projects will take
    place at the middle school/
    high school building.
    The board also approved
    expenditures for the new
    concession stand that is being
    constructed at the school
    stadium. They approved
    expenses in an amount not
    to exceed $50,000.
    The board’s next regular
    meeting is Oct. 28, with
    an executive session at 6
    p.m., followed by the business
    meeting at 6:30 p.m.

    Thanks Paul!

    In other news...it rained today and the Gov't shutdown this week.
  • O-Trap
    Boy, I sure do love copying and pasting things.
  • Havin Fun
    Gee, Norwayne got the same school rating as nearly every other WCAL school. How unique!!
    As for the Zips, I think we now know why they are 1-29 their last 30 games. Seriously, maybe Dennis will be an improvement?

    ^^this sounds like bull. I bet this expenditure is actually the last hush payment in the "infamous spanking incident cover up of 2011".

    Whenever I think of Norwayne's title, I think of Maty Mauk and his scooter.
  • rrfan
    When I think of Norwayne's title I just think how good and lucky you have to be to win a title. I am an Orrville fan and we were both good and lucky when we won and when we lost we were good and not so lucky. It is so much harder than most think it is...

    Not sure the tape caused the state title. Pretty sure being awesome at football did that.

    At Norwayne - Chippewa game and what a good one. I would like to say to Rittmans Head Coach what were you thinking when u said that u didn't need Austin Jones and that u could win without him? That kid is making some big hits and plays for the Cats D. But hey what do we know when u can't win with what u have.
  • Slick Rick
    Great Win Chipps. Norwayne too many mistakes and the defense got shredded. The tide is turning in Wayne County.
