How did Rittman score 26 points against Hillsdale?

I have seen much of the WCAL this year. So far I don't see anyone who is capable of playing at a D I or II school. As fun as it is to watch these kids, you really need to go to Cleveland, Akron, Cincinnati or some Columbus (and even on occasion Orrville!) schools to see where players at the next level come from. I could see Jon playing at a school like Ohio Northern, Wooster, etc. He is so talented for our league but lacks the size or speed to play past that level. DIII probably gives the best education so if he can get a good degree and still play that would be great. Good kid from what I hear as well.O-Trap;1293821 wrote:Zimmerly played a great game tonight. I do truly hope that kid is going somewhere after high school to play football. He is something special to watch.
WOW, just imagine how many the Cats are going to score........O-Trap;1293804 wrote:I think the biggest question of the night is this:

^^^^I would take this as a knock on the kid and the league.jaco;1293913 wrote:The talent you see in the WCAL is all relative. 5'9", 195 lbs, and runs a 4.7 40. There isn't a D1 or D2 team in America that's interested in that kid. I'm skeptical many D3 teams would be interested, in fact. No knock on the kid. There's nothing wrong with being the best of the small, slow kids in your conference.
There have been plenty of kids from the WCAL to have gone to D1 schools over the years. Perhaps not as many as larger schools, and that makes sense, because larger schools have larger talent pools, so they get more looks from D1 schools. However, If we were to compare a small school's talent over a couple years to a large school's talent in a single year, you'd end up with about the same kind of talent. In other words, they don't just magically grow them bigger in Wooster or Akron. They just usually have more kids.Havin Fun;1293866 wrote:I have seen much of the WCAL this year.
