SVSM used to be 2 schools, Saint Vincent and Saint Mary. But then 1970 OHSAA instituted playoffs with 3 divisions, 4 regions per division and just took the computer champion from each region to play each other. So Akron snobs changed up and consolidated, took them 2 fb seasons to get their ducks in a row but 1972 the 2 privates merged and took state. They've been buying wins since before these Dover boys were born. Props to the parent$ who's favorite movies are Remember the Titans and The Blindside but have never seen The Ten Commandments.

From what I understand St. Marys was an all girls school. So how could they have helped?

i believe st marys started as all girls but became co-ed or it was vice versa...i can't remember

...and the private schools recruit all the best cheerleaders ...and better cheerleaders leads to better spirit....leads to faster, stronger players....and there's the rub!

I'll make it clear..I'm not particularly a fan of private schools myself, but the guy comes across as a straight baby, sore loser. However, I think the real problem lies within urban private schools that control their enrollment to stay in a lower divison, giving them a competitive advantage. (NC, Ursuline, Wheeling Central). Its not like all the talent in Summit County goes to Akron SVSM. They have a good program, but are kind of like Massilon, they havent won anything in a long time.

My suggestion for private schools is to bump them up a division

St. Mary's won a state title in 1961, so my guess is that it was St. V who used to be an all-girls schools.

How could a team win a state title in '61 when football didn't start in Ohio until '72?

The Massillon hasn't won anything in a long time line if funny coming from a guy who's school finally made it past the reg. finals.
