DSJ beat fellow MAC team Marion Local 17-13 on a last minute TD. Shadyside couldn't compete in the MAC.

The biggest ones that people are upset with would be Mooney (who has moved up to D3 now, but will probably be dropping to D4 again), Ursuline, DSJ, and Newark Catholic. Those 4 schools combined have 20 state championships in those 3 divisions. So yes...the private schools do very well in D4-D6. And on the surface, it would seem like there's a little bit of inequity there. That is, until you look at the other juggernaut of the divisions. Coldwater, Versailles, St. Henry, and Maria Stein Marion Local account for 17 state championships in D4-D6. Historically, public schools have won more state championships than privates in the small divisions.

So as I've said before, go ahead and put in a multiplier. Screw over the private schools that hardly ever even sniff the playoffs like St. Thomas Aquinas, Purcell Marian, and Youngstown Christian. And then watch Coldwater, Versailles, St. Henry, and Maria Stein Marion Local win just about every state championship in the divisions.

sirclovis;589874 wrote:I know Jefferson is a BIG public school.. Oh wait isn't DV small? And I would love to hear some concrete proof that a DSJ player was recruited. DSJ is one of the truly special schools where you can go from preschool to highschool and still say you are apart of the same school. Is there anyway that THIS could be the reason why they are so good? Think about the comraderie and the brotherhood you form when the person you are playing beside has been with you since you were both small children. People always think that sheer talent wins games, a common misconception among the private haters. Thats why bashers think private schools just blatantly have more talent, because they think that the only way a football team can win is by the talent of their players.

They were completely outmatched and that is just no coincidence.. I saw the size and speed difference also ..incredible .....I know that your private schools get boys in it for football because it is prestigiuos and it means alot of money it only makes sense...You guys have a free hand ..Its really the Ohio board that I have issue with ..Something needs corrected ...dont give me more smoke and mirrors pls

sirclovis;589752 wrote:Sherm03 I seriously feel for ya. The fact that all these people are ignoring the FACTS you put out, are completely rediculous. Everyone is so upset over the private's success that they can't take a step back and focus on the cold hard facts. mvred had it right "The one game was decided by an XP, the other game was decided in the last minute.". Also, the DSJ game everyone is soooo uspet about blows my mind. DSJ is a small catholic school in a small town, enough said.

sirclovis;590090 wrote:First off, I went to bishop hartley and to say that it is made up of kids of suburban doctors and lawyers is just plain ridiculous. Secondly, a family member of mine currently teaches and has taught at several of the public inner city schools in columbus and I would be unjust for saying that it is not a hard job. But to say that private school teachers don't work equally hard is ridiculous. They receive a HUGE paycut for not working in the public schoo system and in my observance of private school teachers, they are just as hard working and passionate as a public school teacher because they generally want to do it, regardless of pay. I can't believe that we got to this point but it is absurd that I have to defend private school teachers. Oh, and what about facilities?? What kind of argument are you trying to bring up?

Outscoring opponents in the playoffs/championship by a combined total of 297-61. WOW...but those are all just corn fed homegrown boys that work harder, lift harder and have better coaching......SMOKE AND MIRRORS...LOL
