Ok, thanks for the update. Congratulations to the Shelby Whippets on their new bff the Ontario Warriors. This will make for a nice rivalry between those two neighbors.

Do you know if the NCC also granted Lucas on their request?

[superdav62]

Haven't heard anything official, but I can't believe Lucas would be denied considering everything that has happened.

Heard today that Vermilion's starting to reconsider their NOL membership for the next school year, as well as Ontario being on board to join.

[DaPlane]

From what I know, Vermilion is going elsewhere. Ontario is coming to the NOL.

St. Mary CC is going to stay in the SBC.

Not sure which two schools withdrew their MAL interest, but that league's uncertainty was understandably too much to worry about.

Supposedly - Lucas, Loudonville, Danville, Mansfield St. Peters, Mansfield Christian and looking for other interested "small" schools, most probably private schools. Lucas, Loudonville and Danville will play independent football schedules.

The latest is that Crestline is interested in joining this league. They are one of the 6 schools originally leaving the NCC to form a new league called The Northern 10. Which is starting to crumble already, 2 years before they were to begin play.

Riverdale, another NCC school leaving for the N10 is now being courted by the BVC, their all time #1 choice for a league.

Carey, from the MAL, another new N10 member has also been approached by the BVC and are considering.

If Riverdale and Carey join the BVC, Seneca East and Mohawk might reconsider and go back to the MAL.

The new N10, before playing their first game, could become the N5.

Carey has already said no to the BVC.

Ontario has accepted their invitation to join the NOL.

I am confused as to what the moac split is, they say east west but you have elgin and galion mixed up for that, and big small, fairbanks and highland. i would like them to split it one way or another. i have the enrollment numbers on another computer, but in short
elgin Boys Class A (152)Girls Class A (157)
Galion Boys Class AAA (215) GirlsClass AAA (216)
Highland Boys Class AA (234) Girls Class AA (213)

So MOAC What are you doing, geographically Galion fits with the East split, it is smaller than/ same size as highland. it is only 60 students more than elgin, which seems like alot, but the reason for expansion was reduced travel. so please reevaluate. Either split by size or location!!!

As we have discussed, Highland wants no part of the large school division and neither does Elgin. Both have threatened to take their ball and go home if put in with the bigger schools. Because Highland won't budge you can't have a perfect big school/small school split. Because Elgin won't budge you can't have a perfect East/West split. Consequently, Galion gets put in with the larger schools because they fit size wise and Fairbanks gets put in the division because they fit geographically. Is this a perfect solution... absolutely not. Will it probably lead to more schools jumping in and out of the league sooner rather than later.... my guess is yes. But it is what we have for now.

Those AAA, AA, A classifications are meaningless when determining what Division a school plays in, in any sport. They are only used for OHSAA Governance Classifications.
