Hey Sports -- good to see you on a board again. It's been awhile. We visited Campbell to see them play Lakeview early in the season.

Hey Quake, nice to see you keep up with this section. I don't follow as much as I use to on JJ. I kind of given up because not much interest on this media. How are your dogs? I suspect they are scrappy due to having a lot of football guys. Does coach have the energy this year?

sports talk where have you been??????? havent seen you on any sites for the longest time???

Hey Wgh. Got a bit spent over high school sports for a while. Actually got blown away and disappointed the last time your boys were beat down at Columbus versus Sully. That was the last big game I was at. Hoops has been somewhat pathetic in the area. Oh well we know it is football country.

Here's an update going into tonite's games of 2/8/2011

Orwell Grand Valley 15-1; only loss to Pymatuning Valley
LaBrae 12-1; only loss to Lakeview
Newton Falls 11-3; losses to Struthers, LaBrae, Campbell
Pymatuning Valley 12-4; losses to Brookfield, Lakeview, Maplewood, Edgewood
Brookfield 10-4; losses to Springfield, LaBrae, Newton Falls, Warren JFK
Burton Berkshire 8-6
Liberty 8-7
Lakeview 8-8
Middlefield Cardinal 5-9
Girard 5-9
Garrettsville Garfield 3-12
Champion 2-13
Mineral Ridge 0-16

The seedings should (but won't) be:
1. LaBrae
2. Newton Falls
3. Liberty
4. Lakeview
5. Berkshire
6. Brookfield
7. Py Valley
8. Grand Valley
9. Girard
10. Cardinal
11. Champion
12. Garfield
13. Mineral Ridge

Labrae/Falls should be the favorite, If lakeview gets hot they could be dangerous along with Brookfield both schools have great coaches and know how to position their teams to win games.
