Akron STVM LB Dante Booker (6-3 215) Offer from Ohio State among others is rated by some services as the Number One Player in Ohio Class of 2014 and 19th in the Country. He should be listed in the D3 Top 10 players to watch.

Just an FYI - Licking Valley has more than two seniors returning - Yes Drew MacCartor will be tearing it up at RB again this year and Jake Cottrell is coming back on the line - Jake started at tackle last year, but we have quite a few other returning letterman coming back on both sides of the ball as well as 3 or 4 seniors that lettered both as sophomores and juniors.

Just wanted to make that point.

Good luck beating trying to beat Desales or Eastmoor Academy if yall are in that region. Watterson as well! And this is for Ivdad 45 Desales, Eastmoor, and Watterson are in Region 10. We are in region 11.

To be honest, I wish we were in Region 10.. Had we been in Region 10 last year we would have made the playoffs. We ended up 11th in Region 11 with an average of 16.15 points. Had we been in region 10, we would have been 6th and gone to the playoffs. Region 11 is stacked with teams like Steubenville, Mooney, Dover, Minerva, Sheridan etc.

Granville went 9-1 in Region 11, but ended up 10th in Region 11 and didn't make it to the playoffs. Had they been in Region 10, they would have been 3rd - not only making the playoffs, but getting a home game.

No disrespect to DeSales, Watterson, or Eastmoor- they are all very good programs, but Region 11 is a much tougher region. Hands down.

Can't count out the Sheridan Generals, I think they will surprise the doubters....My playoff predictions go as follows..1. Mooney, 2. Steubenville 3.Sheridan 4. Dover 5. Minerva 6. Marlington 7. Canal Fulton 8. Licking Valley.

Don't see Granville and Licking Valley both getting in so whoever wins that game should get in.
