unfortunately, 2002 probably had 2 of the best wcal teams ever - Dalton had a great shot of making it to the title game had the smithies not been even better that yr.

Bedford St. Peter Chanel: Defending state champ ... ridiculously fast and athletic
Dalton: Tough team that year; only lost to Smithville by 2 points in the regular season, though they lost 35-8 in the Regional Championship.
Delphos St. John's: Back-to-back-to-back state champs in D6 before this year.
Marion Pleasant: Game was going well until it started to snow, and the Smithie passing game went to garbage.

I was once told by the Godfather himself that the 1980 team was possibly his best team. His first league champion.

10-game season. 5 shutouts. One opponent scores 28. So the remaining 4 teams scored more than 0 each, but only 9 combined? What, did three of them safety the Bears and the fourth kick a fieldgoal?
I smell shenanigans.

Congratulations to Norwayne for the outstanding play off run resulting in the DIV State Championship. It will be a long time before people stop talking about the final game! Congrats also to the WCAL.

Congrats Norwayne on an amazing season....one that will never be forgotten!
The WCAL is a great conference and is very deserving of a state championship trophy....Now if you would've said that Norwayne would be the first in the conference to win one, I would've disagreed....this just shows that the league is even more competitive now and new traditions are being made (Hillsdale/Norwayne).
Congrats again! Great season Cats!

Congrats to the 2011 Norwayne Bobcats (All time greatest WCAL team)
Thanks for bringing the 1st ever state championship to the WCAL.
Also thanks for effectively ending the WCAL all time greatest team debate.
Its been a fun & exciting year
One Final complaint----
I, Red Rum was the victim of selective enforcement.
Otrap edited me for using the word that starts with a D, ends with an N, and has an A then M in the middle.
Skank, a major troll, used the same word in the same thread but did not suffer an edit.
Let this be a lesson to all others who dare challenge Otraps opinions on Smithville
See everyone next season

Doubt they'd have it any other way.

PM me a link or refer me to it. I'd rather some other Mod not see it and start handing out infractions, unless someone becomes a repeat offender (like you did this week ... but I assumed you forgot it was a rule and thought I was just picking on you).

And no worries. I enjoyed the back and forth with everyone this season. Met some stand-up guys (OQB, thePITman, 4RINGZ, GoFalcons, Dr. KnOiTaLl (or however you spell that nightmare of a name), and oldsmithie), and it was a great ride seeing one of the champs from this league bring some recognition back to the WCAL!
Looking forward to next year!

In hindsight, how sad is it that Hillsdale lost one game....to a state champion and didn't even get in the playoffs!!!

True, and it sounds like you are shoring up your OOC schedule to help prevent this from happening again.
