Ohio 2024: Week 8


OdbCle

Recommended Posts

Biggest shakeup this week comes on the heels of Walsh's victory over rival Hoban. The program is heading in the right direction under head coach Nick Alexander and he looks to be poised to loosen the stranglehold Hoban has had in the Akron area when it comes to talent. Most of the top ten held serve this week, but the X offense got stoned down in Louisville over the weekend and they fall from the rankings this week. 

1. Moeller (previously #1, beat Elder 42-14) - Might Moe's offense keeps on rolling, and looks to be comfortably ahead of the rest of the D1 field. 10/11 @ Ignatius.

2. Massillon (previously #3, beat Football North (ON) 45-6) - Tigers rebound from last week's loss with a decisive victory over Football North. I don't think this is the best version of FN we've seen over the years, but still, the margin of victory was impressive. They host some other weird football academy this week. 10/11 v. Legacy Sports Sciences (TX).

3. Avon (previously #4, beat Berea-Midpark 49-7) - Cruise control until the playoffs. 10/11 @ Midview.    

4. Walsh Jesuit (previously others, beat Hoban 19-14) - Warriors make the big jump this week after proving their legitimacy against Hoban. The rest of the schedule sets up nicely for an undefeated season and #1 seed in R5, where a potential rematch with Hoban will await at some point. 10/11 at NDCL.  

5. Hoban (previously #2, lost to Walsh 14-19) - Still a very talented team capable of taking it all in tough D2. No time to lick their wounds as Glenville comes in looking to make another statement against a big private school power.  10/11 v. Glenville. 

6. Winton Woods (previously #5, beat Loveland 49-0) - One more speed bump this week before the week 9 Anderson matchup. 10/11 v. West Clermont. 

7. Lakota West (previously #6, beat Sycamore 52-0) - Another 50-burger for the LW offense and shutout for the defense. 10/11 @ Oak Hills. 

8. Glenville (previously #8, beat Rhodes 35-14) - Not the blowout score I expected against an overmatched Senate League team, but I imagine plenty of backups played in this game. Last chance to make a big statement this week as they go on the road to Hoban. After that it's two more Senate scrubs and then the DIV playoffs, where their talent will far exceed the field. 10/11 @ Hoban.   

9. St. Edward (previously #9, beat Ignatius 28-6) - Eagles won comfortably against their rival making it 8 in a row, the longest winning streak by either team in the history of the series. Ed's has gone to Eaton as the primary ball-carrier and he went for 160 yards against a porous Ignatius run defense.  Ignatius' only score came off a blocked punt which set them up in Ed's territory (Ed's needs to get their shit together on special teams). They never really threatened at any other point in the game. 10/12 v. Football North (ON). 

10.  TCC (previously #7, beat SJJ 56-21) - Probably should have dropped TCC down a bit last week after the all-too-close win over Ignatius, but I was giving the Wildcats the benefit of the doubt in thinking they might have turned a corner. Turns out they haven't. 10/11 v. Orchard Lake St. Mary's (MI). 

Others: Pick North, Mentor, Bishop Watterson, St. X, Upper Arlington, Olentangy Liberty, Anderson, Ursuline, Elder, Princeton, Wadsworth, Anthony Wayne, Highland, Nordonia, Whitmer
