And that would be a huge step for Central Ohio and validating to Cleveland/Cincinnati area that we play pretty good football down here too. Some people still contend that because Davidson played Mentor and not a traditional power like X (who they beat to get to the title game that year) or an Iggy or a St. Ed's or a Glenville that the '06 title didn't mean a whole lot
I disagree. I've spoken to a lot of people down south that said the 2006 Davidson o-line was the best they have ever seen in high school and gave due respect.
Hilliard Davidson has now played St. Xavier, Cincinnati Colerain and Cincinnati Elder all tough (two of them obviously).
I think more of what the perception for the rest of Ohio is, is that a team like that (2006) comes once in a blue moon from central Ohio - 2 state champions in 30 years. A win by Davidson would bring a D1 title to central Ohio twice in four years...more than any other part of the state. It would also mark Davidson as one of the premier teams of the decade. Both HUGE accomplishments. To say Davidson is playing just for Hilliard is an understatement...R3 and central Ohio by and large needs a Davidson victory.
