The entire YTown area has kids recruited away from them, and in this case Mooney tried to take 2 of Struthers' best upcoming freshmen. Only 1 agreed, and he is a future D1 athlete barring any major injuries..(knock on wood) he's a good kid and we all wish him the best in his endevors. Mooney does this every year or tries to every year with Struthers athletes. Stewart recieved calls from them, didnt accept and ran from over 1500 yards this past season. You don't have to go to Mooney to be successful.

BTrev- From what ive heard, Struthers knew about this dinner because one of the kids told the coaches about it, but they weren't going to tell. Im thinking another school like maybe a poland or a canfield (maybe) told mooney they were gonna tell if mooney didnt fess up.. The guy from the diocese said it best on the news at 11 "We could of covered this up" - doesnt that right there say something to you? They've obviously covered stuff like this before. Damn shame really.

But hey, they're successful and represent Ytown very well every post season by beating the snot out of the river people in stuby, and i dont expect anymore to come of this, even though i believe they should have more severe consequences.

Pretty crappy that they pulled this. But I'm glad that the coach that did it is gone. Don't need anyone like that associated with the program.

sherm03;1458561 wrote:Yes...I'm sure a guy would gladly just quit and keep his mouth shut if he was being forced to be a "sacrificial lamb." They self-reported because they found out what happened and realized it was a violation. Mooney told the OHSAA, the diocese, and Struthers.

You can try to make it out to be whatever you want. But the real story is that the coach didn't think it was a violation (his fault for being stupid) and he put the integrity of the program in question. He was forced to resign and I'm sure all the coaches are making sure they understand the rules on recruiting. I do feel bad for the kid. Because this coach screwed up, the kid has to suffer.

I really don't understand why you would get so mad at me for pointing out your mistake about Boardman schools. It wasn't a knock against Struthers. It was just a bit of information. As far as Campbell and East go I know they're below Struthers in the rankings. I graduated in 1990 from Campbell and have lived in Howland for the last ten years with my wife and children so it doesn't really bother me when you talk nonsense about Campbell. Besides your probably one of those guys that's scared to even drive through Campbell!
