Does anyone give salem a chance in D3 region 11 to get to the playoffs? if so any chance to win a playoff game?

Tell us more about your team.

returning most of our skilled players, new transfer at QB quickest kid ive seen since ben eisel, big O line, great speed and a coach who is just as hungry for a title as we are

well good luck until you play us if you do . winning is contagious

I'm worried more about the new league and the new Region 11 (both are loaded) than I am about the player turnover. I'm not saying it's going to be a bad year by any means, but it's definitely going to be an absurdly tough road just based on the competition.

yea i remember a couple of years ago playing you guys, idk if you are still as good as u were

Salem lost arguably their best player in 20 years. They have a great coach though. With that being said, i see them going 5-5. Too much talent in the AAC this season.

Salem isn't in the AAC anymore, so that won't matter.

What's their schedule? That will determine if they get in or not, after that', it's anyone's guess!

Thurs. 8/25 - Labrae
Fri. 9/2 - United
Fri. 9/9 - at Niles
Fri. 9/16 - at Carrollton
Fri. 9/23 - at Marlington
Fri. 9/30 - Canton South
Fri. 10/7 - at Alliance
Fri. 10/14 - Minerva (Homecoming)
Fri. 10/21 - at Louisville
Fri. 10/28 - West Branch (Senior Night)

All games at 7 pm

I see them going 6-4 possibly 7-3. They could even make a 8-2 bid but it all depends on staying healthy. this is the problem with not being in a league. they have to go outside the county to get games. And take it from someone that knows about not having a league to play in. Campbell was Kicked out of the MVC. It was the last Time since 2 years ago that Campbell was in a League. It was a rough rough 15 years to say the least. We had one good season in 99 at 10-1. We had to travel some great distances to play a game. Wish Salem renewed the contract with Campbell. But i have to go with 6-4 they have a rough schedule.. Why did they leave the AAC? Good Luck Salem on your upcoming season!!

NBC

They joined the NBC when Northwest had to leave.

Not in the first year of the NBC. Louisville, Marlington, Minerva & Canton South will be pretty tough to beat.

Oh then that cool.. Very cool. glad they just didn't jump without going into another league. I hear they are a hard league to go up against. But Salem should hold there own...

Who's the transfer at QB? I talked to a couple of friends who usually have info on the football team, but thay had nothing to report. With Kopachy as coach, Salem will be well coached, but their performance in the NBC will be a question mark until the season unfolds. I'm just going to kick back and enjoy the season. It'll be an adventure for sure.

the transfer in from beaver local, he ran a 4.5 40 yard dash as a freshmen and is very athletic. only 5 foot 9, not as strong as toothman was by any stretch of the imagination, but he can hold his own in the weight room as well. very exciting things happening in off season workouts. we will surprise people this year.

^ despite your optimism, the Quakers are in dire need of a QB.

Thanks for the info.
