Wow. Do you think the team will be able to compete very well being so young?

And how have the nll teams been doing in the tourney. I know in d2 Maumee beat bryan yesterday by 3. And is now scheduled to play defiance friday. While Rossford had a bye and will play whoever wo nthe scott oak harbor game. While In d1 I hear springfield was beaten by Lima sr. by roughly 20.

Springfield was really bad. Chester just had one of those games...3 fouls and 0 points near the end of the 3rd period. Devils will be back next year if they work hard...

NLLBEST I think they will be fine being so young they already play with the varsity during the summer time. Trust me they hold their own.

Most people I've talked with don't believe Southview will be any higher than 4th next season and maybe 5th. Not that the league will be all that great, but BG, Springfield and Perrysburg look stronger at this point for sure.

Are most of those people close to the program? In my opinion based off of what BG, and Springfield returns they should be favored. You also cannot count out Perrysburg because of their coaching advantage. But trust me after that it will be Southview for about 3-4 years.

Well, you pretty much confirmed expectations for next season. After that, too early to tell, but I agree Southview will be in the hunt. I thought the freshmen team was not all that strong this year and JV just OK. Putting an awful lot on kids who aren't even in high school yet.

Are you serious? I highly doubt that any of those kids are looking on this site to see what my opinions are. So I don't see me putting anything on them lol. If you reread my post I agreed with you regarding the top three teams and Southview being fourth. The freshmen team did ok hence me stating that the kids from the junior high level will jump over them. Also the jv did pretty good as well but once again out of the freshmen team only Jared Yoshino and Brandon Stewart were stand outs. On the JV the guards were good, Sinram, Hunt, and the kid Chris. But other than that the junior high kids are much better there are 3 from Timberstone and 2 from Arbor Hills that are dynamic to say the least.

Clarification: I didn't mean there was pressure because a few people read a message board. Just that people might be expecting a little too much this early in the process, that's all. Maybe they'll be varsity starters in 9th grade -- can happen.

Ok I gotcha

Although the NLL went down big this season, let's give credit to the Rossford Bulldogs for getting the win against Toledo Scott. They are fighters and really give it all they've got. Congratulations to the Bulldogs for edging the Bulldogs!!

I now don't they have to play the "Bulldogs" again? It seems like a "Dog Eat Dog World" out there right now.
