Yes, his first day of school was yesterday.
A teacher at Big Red, who shall remain annonymous, told me that OHSAA was there Friday.

Probably for their quarterly luncheon.

'IF' this is true. And I hope it is. I welcome this student/athlete into the big red family. I know he will enjoy his time at the red and playing on Reno Field @ Death Valley in front of the BIG RED NATION.

I can just imagine his thoughts of playing games Vs Massillon, Inkster, Brooke, Ursuline, Morgantown, Buchtel, St John's Collegiate, St Joseph and If 'Reno willing and the river don't rise' 5 playoff games as well.

Stepping up to the challenge to compete at this level, as many open enrollment student/athletes have done in the past, is not an easy task. I'm sure it will be a rewarding experience for him. You can read about one such story here on Eye Of The Past..."Tradition Speaks" Maybe these thoughts will be going through his mind during the transition. Enjoy the read.

Eye Of The Past...."Tradition Speaks"

Volume 7: Aaron Pease, 1989, 90, & 91.

"My Story, or Everything I Needed to Know About Big Red Football I Learned At Central!

I transferred to Big Red my sophomore year, for entirely unrelated-to-football reasons. Some Central people might say different, but one reason that I find this argument so funny is that, at the time, I was convinced I wasn’t good enough to play for Big Red.

One of the reasons was the 37-14 whipping the Big Red frosh laid on us Central Frosh. The loss was demoralizing. We were not just outplayed, but outclassed. On the bright side, however, I did learn a tough lesson in what Big Red football was all about:

Speed: In the first half we exploited Big Red’s poor pass defense by sending me out into the flat for screens and flare passes (I was a fullback then). Unfortunately, I was slow, so what should have been touchdowns resulted in 30-40 yard gains and only one touchdown drive (another TD was called back on an illegal motion play).

Conditioning: Even when we stopped them, they ran back to the huddle, called the play, whirled out of the huddle, and sprinted up to the line of scrimmage so fast it made me dizzy. I couldn’t catch my breath.

Speaking of which, at halftime my coach belatedly gave me instructions about open field running, but I couldn’t hear him over the sound of my own lungs gasping for air, sputtering and coughing like a broken-down car, or an old man with emphysema.

Blocking: On defense, I experienced a relatively new phenomenon: someone was blocking me!!

Until this point, my play at inside linebacker involved nothing more than “running to the ball.” And it seemed to work, until now. Even more frustrating, the Big Red offensive linemen weren’t huge and they weren’t dumping me on my ass. The ball would be snapped, the fullback (Mark Palmer) would get the ball, I would set myself on a collision course just beyond the line of scrimmage, and What the….??? Where’d he come from? Someone just got in my way, jostled past me, and was gone. It was like bumping into a glass door. Next thing I knew, Palmer was into the secondary for another 15-20 yard gain.

The second half was more of the same, culminating with Jonathan “Juice” Collier throwing a perfect fade pass for a TD to Big Red’s future All-State Offensive Guard and Defensive End, Nate Burress. Yep, Nate played wide receiver back then. Just a glimpse of the athleticism on display for the Big Red.

I hated Big Red because they killed us. With revenge in my heart, the last thing on my mind that day in November was going over to the dark side.

Yet there I was the next summer, at Big Red’s conditioning camp, struggling to run those damn 300s. Sometimes I think back on how slow and weak I was, and it’s a mystery how I made it on the team. But what wasn’t a mystery was that everything I accomplished was thanks to being pushed and cajoled, praised, teased, and (somewhat affectionately) punched by Coach Sac, Coach Bruney, and Coach Pierro; to the tears in Moe Pearson’s eyes as he told me what it was like to play his heart out in the Championship game two years in a row and come just inches short; to the friendly but intense competition with Todd Anderson, Corey Tomasso, and Steve Terry; to Nate Burress threatening to take my position from me; to Coach Camilleti and his weight room motto: a strong mind needs a strong body. (At the time, I mistakenly thought my mind was plenty strong.)

And the memories!

The Good:

Witnessing the incredible 31-7 comeback against North Canton Hoover from the sidelines. It was so satisfying to shut down their clown mascot and equally irritating bragging about their plyometric training methods. I did get in one play, our only punt. I downed the ball.

On 4th and 10 against Boardman senior year, Big Red driving for the tying score: Nate Burress throws his man down like a rag doll, then climbs back and blindsides another pass rusher about to sack Jeff Grill, who completes the pass to Buster Tillman for a first down. We score to tie and then win in overtime.

Jeff Grill, who everybody thought was too short to play QB, leading us to a 10-0 regular season and setting passing records. Also the only starter who benched less than me…I think.

Wondering if there is any position Todd Anderson can’t play well…as he subs in for an injured Nate Burress in the playoffs and our defense doesn’t skip a beat.

Senior year (1991), every offensive and defensive lineman previously played a skill position, and I’m not talking in Pop Warner.

Going out with a bang, stopping Matt Christopher on 4th and 1. I still kick myself for my poor tackling form on that play, but everybody piled on so it didn’t matter.

The Bad:

Losing 3 straight times in the semifinals.

Having an easy interception bounce off my chest against Columbus DeSales, who beat us 13-0 by running 5 plays over and over and over.

Losing 18-7 in my last game ever for the Big Red, to a Uniontown Lake team that got bigger and faster from when we ended their season the year before. At the same time…if the refs don’t call a phantom roughing the kicker when we had all the momentum…

Busting my ACL and missing 4 games senior year.

Not being cool enough to get into the Cemetery picture…the excuse was that it was only starting linemen…I don’t buy it.

The morning after a regular season loss…having to swim in the Community Center cesspool, win or lose…the junior year game against Boardman when their QB made me look a fool.

Nate Burress. Jimmy Keaton. Darius Alexander. RIP

The Fun:

In the film room, coaches hand out praise like $100 dollar bills to beggars. So Todd Anderson, sitting out of the coaches line of sight, watches himself make a good play and calls out with his best Coach Sac impersonation: “Nice play Todd!” Immediately the other coaches chime in, “Yeah Todd, great play.” “Good Effort” “Way to go.” If you want something done…

Watching Coach Sac, in Bike shorts and t-shirt, lining head up over hulking Paul Kokos during practice. And Kokos was the one intimidated.

Those little victories in between beatings on Scout Team, like when I caught Chucky Hython about to blindside me out of the corner of my eye. I sidestepped and threw him to the ground (easy, because he was airborne). The downside: Chucky saying “I’m going to get you Pease” and me shaking in my cleats the rest of the day.

Watching the WTOV broadcasts of our games and hearing Coach Bruney’s high-pitched rantings occasionally drowning out the game feed.

Coach Bruney spitting his coffee all over the Time Out room when, during the offseason, he finds out that Todd Anderson, his starting center and defensive jack of all trades, is wrestling at a puny 160 lbs.

Coach Bruney inspecting my oh-so sculpted upper body and telling me that I have a Pirate’s Treasure: a sunken chest.

Basically, everything Coach Bruney did or said. In retrospect, of course.

Never getting tired of the 1988 season montage by WTOV 9, “One Moment in Time.” Cheesy, but effective. Very effective. I still get shivers and chills and watery eyes, and I wasn’t even a part of Big Red then!

The mythology of the Big Red. The stories that are passed down. The standards to meet, and perhaps surpass. For each class, we enter our sophomore year thinking that the best days came just before. When I showed up, the days of the Yetts brothers were over. The stories of a team so tough that coaches and players went at it regularly fed into the myth. We could never hope to live up the standards they set. But we did. And we tried to improve on them. And we are always surprised when it happened. We felt like we didn’t deserve to be where we are. But the next generation is there, looking up to us, striving to reach our goals, and accomplish more. And they do. Roll Red Roll. "

Nice article, but my only question is how is this kid allowed to play when he transfers in the middle of the school year? Oh, that's right he now has a apartment in Steubenville. All I know is the Harrison coaching staff is pissed and is not going to let this die. So the Red better have all their i's dotted and t's crossed.

Bylaw 4-7-2, EXCEPTION 1 — If the parents or legal guardian have made a bona-fide legal change of residence from one public school district to another public school district, the student may enroll in either the public school within the boundaries of that public school district that includes the new residence of the parents or legal guardian or any non-public school, and be immediately eligible insofar as transfer is concerned.

This rule applies to (ALL) schools, public and private, but there are exceptions. For instance, a student is “immediately eligible” to participate in the athletic program of a new school if the student’s parents or legal guardian have made a “bona
fi de legal change of residence from one public school district to another”;
if one of the student’s parents in a shared parenting plan has made a
“bona fi de legal change of residence”; or if the school in which a student
was enrolled closes. To determine a “bona fi de” move, OHSAA considers
such factors as where the parents and family sleep, receive mail, and
prepare and eat meals, where the parents are registered to vote, and
where “important family activities” take place. A student who transfers from the
State School for the Blind or the State School for the Deaf is eligible upon
enrollment in the new school. Commissioner rulings. If a student who is a ward of the state receives a new court-appointed guardian with whom the student lives, or if a court orders a custody change in parent and a student moves to live with the new custodial parent, that student may be ruled eligible by the OHSAA
Commissioner. The Commissioner must also rule on the eligibility of a
student in the following cases: (1) A student whose parents’ residence is annexed to a different district or consolidated with another
district and that student transfers to a school in the annexed or consolidated
district; (2) A student who resides in a different district than the student’s parents, is considered “self-supporting,” and enrolls in a school in the district in which the student resides;

Reno has already lost one game in his illustrious career to an ineligible player and he isn't going to let that happen again. Believe me, if this kid plays for Big Red, everything will be legal.

wags6817,

Why try to yell FIRE when there is no SMOKE! lol . Harrison coaching staff can be mad all they want at the student/athlete or the parents. Fact is if the parents and the student/athlete wants to attend another high school it is allowed by law. I guess your informed about everything in this family circle huh. You heard from who??? What did you do PM the parents and kid lol

Here's a open enrollment form for ya. Since the big red is the only school in the history of OHSAA to use the form, thought you could use one. And you are right.... the I's will be dotted and the T's crossed. Not just by the big red, by all 3 parties involved. Parents, school and the OHSAA.

And can you do me a favor...keep talking about ALL the student/athletes that transfer to big red. The best advertisement is by word of mouth

Who is paying for this apartment that no one stays at? I recently met someone that owns the place that a former out of town Big Red player's parents rented... Funny thing is all the checks he received by mail had a Big Red coach and his wife's name on the check... What Section is that under?

It will at least hold up in a courtroom... If that is whats considered legal.

No SOS. It will hold up to OHSAA rules. I love the web of lies you spin.

I was standing next to Reno, Heatherington, and 2 guys I did not recognize when they took 3 OSHAA officials out to lunch in Steubenville. I very CLEARLY remember the officials saying how great it is when Steubenville invites them down there to tour their facilities and go to lunch. Suck up and pay much????

I see you changed the topic once again when your painted in a corner with facts. You bring up other sports when were talking football. Then you point out that IC is a joke..( I NEVER said they were ) and how was I "attempting to place myself as something I'm not"

I'm closer to the program then you will ever be. The closest you get is when your leaning on your stretcher waiting for the game to end. It crawls under your skin that your required to work a big red game now and again and are forced to watch big red play



Come on take a deep breath, count to ten and stop telling lies that you can't back up. My eyes are open. I know there is a world outside of big red. But we were talking about big red football, right. That's a world you know nothing about. But that won't stop you from posting lies on this or any other big red thread.

Just say what you want to say don't hide behind lies and innuendos. Come on, on the count of three. Ready...ONE, TWO, THREE....FU Big Red! That's it. Get it out of your system. You feel better. Now go back to your WIGWAM and fix another bowl of Cheerios.

Blah, Blah Blah.......
Stuff is old, they will do what they want! I am calling for an all sports ban by all schools that have lost a kid.
Jr high up.
Lets play each other and leave the BIG red to travel the state and country for games.

This one goes out to SOS...aka Pinocchio, Baron Munchhausen.

Big Red ten run ruled IC last year in the baseball tourny, beat them head to head in bball the last time they played, with a depleted team, and beat IC in wrestling, so I don't think you "own" anyone. You just said the other day that you don't follow any sport besides football, but now you act like ur an expert on every sport.

Once again. Everyone should drop big red in all sports from 7th grade up!

dominate big red in baseball and track..lol..might be one of the funniest things I have ever read. I remember of one time IC beat big red in baseball.
When was the last time they even made it out of the sectionals?

2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, & 2008.

Here are the results from this year's Jefferson County Relays..DOMINATION for sure

Girls
Team standings: Catholic Central 136, Steubenville 114, Indian Creek 91, Edison 79, Buckeye Local 52, Toronto 39.

Boys
Team standings: Steubenville 162, Catholic Central 156, Edison 69, Buckeye Local 54, Indian Creek 43, Toronto 29.

SoS,
Just a bit uneasy...Name the owner of the property then...that's what I thought. Just keep hiding behind your lie's.

How to Detect lies:
• A guilty person gets defensive. An innocent person will often go on the offensive.
• A liar will use your words to make answer a question. When asked, “Did you eat the last cookie?” The liar answers, “No, I did not eat the last cookie.”
• Liars sometimes avoid "lying" by not making direct statements. They imply answers instead of denying something directly.
• The guilty person may speak more than natural, adding unnecessary details to convince you... they are not comfortable with silence or pauses in the conversation.
• Using humor or sarcasm to avoid a subject.

"Girls
Team standings: Catholic Central 136, Steubenville 114, Indian Creek 91, Edison 79, Buckeye Local 52, Toronto 39.

Boys
Team standings: Steubenville 162, Catholic Central 156, Edison 69, Buckeye Local 54, Indian Creek 43, Toronto 29."

Like I said drop them in all sports and the line would go.
Steubenville 162
