Good luck, hopefully he'll have better luck than we did.

Made it to the state final 4 two years in a row in HS, lost in the semi's both years.

We would have been one of the only schools to ever win a football and baseball championship in the same school year.

Mogadore.

1996 we went to the final 4 in baseball.
1996 we won the state title in football.
1997 (same school year as the football title) we went to the final 4 in baseball.

Nice. Thank you.

Serious question...did you have a bubble of talent those years? I know Mogadore football is always a contender, but those years did you have an exceptional group of athletes?

Congrats to the Knights( and your son , Mr 300)...I'll be following your exploits...good luck.

That might be some part of it.

The biggest part of it for baseball was that all of the best athletes that typically only play football and then lift/etc in the off season played baseball as well in those years. Those athletes that everyone 'knew' from the paper in the football season were also playing baseball. Typically at Mogadore this is not the case.

It has gone down as the best championship game ever in the OHSAA. Not only the huge comeback (down 32 pts late in 2nd Q) to win in 3 OTs.

It was also fun to play in :).

Last post as I do not want to derail this thread...good luck in the baseball final 4s!
