Woodmore had the ball inside the 10 twice and came away empty both times. The only thing that is a question at this point is strength of opponents. Oak Harbor is the real deal and Genoa found a way to win that one. Only time will tell at this point.
Genoa should be beating division 4-6 schools. If Orrville played in the WCAL (wayne county athletic league, which is about the exact same league as Genoa's) which is comprised of;
Doylestown D IV
Smithville DV
Waynedale DV
Hillsdale DV
Northwestern DV
Norwayne DV
Rittman DVI
Dalton DVI
They would go 9-1/10-0 every year and score 50 points a game, but when it comes playoff time you need those games against good Div. II and III schools. Not many public Div. IV schools play a tougher schedule than Orrville. All opponents are Div II and III, with two being big Div IV schools (on the verge of being Div III). We take pride in playing bigger faster stronger schools, and when we beat them, it makes us that much better.
Genoa's conference/schedule really holds them back from being a really great football team.
