Pickerington Central coming off a state championship lost and losing alot from last year and is looking to reload. This should be a very good game. Who wins?

[picktownbanddad]

I'll hold off on a prediction until after the first scrimmage.

They have a lot of pieces to replace on both sides of the ball. History says the "D" will be solid, especially with Greg Basalyga in the middle. However, on offense the only returning skill position starter is Andrew Meyer at wide receiver.

New quarterbacks in Christian Whitner and Colby Simkins may share the load as this has happened in the past.

Two scat backs in Brent Walton and Jordan Pieczynski, who had limited playing time last season, will probably share the load in carrying the ball this season. Unless I am mistaken there will be no big stud at running back.

I'm looking forward to the scrimmage on August 11th.

Go Tigers!

[D'Oro]

First of all hats off to the Tigers for continuing to schedule quality opponents.Can't remember for sure but the Cards were a young team last year when I watched them on TV last fall.

Not one for predictions anyway but agree that making any calls prior to first scrimmage may be premature.

If history serves, the Tigers will fill the holes and be a solid team. After 2006, DII state final run, everyone thought the Tigers would be down and they went undefeated in the regular season.

I think the Tigers will put things together in the end. I am sure the coaches are figuring things out as practice begins.

Go Tigers!!! Beat Colerain!!!

One things for sure. This will be a tough game and should be close (ten points or less). It will be tough for the Tigers traveling to Cincy. I'd be surprised if this is a blowout. I'd give the early edge to Colerain but could change that thought.

What history serves is Picktown breaking OHSAA rules and restocking the cupboard with some other communities favorite sons. I got a real laugh when Jumbo Sharrett's picture and quotes graced the Columbus Dispatch expressing his concerns over the recruiting advantage parochial schools hold over public schools. That's akin to asking the CEO of Morgan Stanley why MF Global would lie and steal peoples money. I heard PC AD Tony Tucker tell the Freshman football players they would have to drug test this year during the playoffs as the varsity season will be ongoing even though their season will be over. I find this statement a bit presumptuous. I predicted last year the decision to rotate QB's two seasons ago cost PC the state title last year. PC won't make the playoffs this year without the best recruiting class they they have poached in years.

Obviously you haven`t already heard about this years recruits. It amazes me
how well they have been able to keep a lid on it so tightly! I probably shouldn`t elaborate on the situation not being close to the source but let me just say in 1 word huge! If there`s any truth to what I`ve heard no need to worry about what was lost or who returns.

smh ... huddle will start being as bad as the the other site. People may have griped when $1 a month was the fee, but at least most folks that stuck around were serious honest people.

I've heard Simkins (sp) was the starter, but Whitmer may get a few snaps here or there. I saw Taco a couple weeks ago, and I still feel like he should gain some weight for DL or gain some speed to be LB. I feel like he's too much of a tweener to be affective the way PC wants to play him.

Despite losing a ton of talent from last year's team, I feel like this will still be a pretty close game.

GO TIGERS!

Blah, Blah, Blah, go beat your drum elsewhere.

Perhaps the message delivered by the AD was one that every school had to deliver? Ever think of that Einstein? I suppose you believe everything that you 'hear' versus fact. Much like the first part of your post. I think there were likely more factors than the play of the QB which impacted the result of the State Championship game. It is a team game, and that is how the Tigers approach it.

They work as a team, play as a team and accept the results as a team.

Go Tigers!!!

I can vouch that the count is incorrect. Although I thought the previous moniker was a little different format which may have impacted the rollover of the count. Either way, Coke will vouch for the absence as being understood and justified. On the same note, I certainly understand your identification of the post count. (I also feel like I lost post counts a few years back for unexplained reasons. I think JJ must have plugged in a new server and trashed the old one.)

Hey Coke! good to see you still hangin out here! Yeah wasn`t sure what he was talkin about until I finished reading his post and noticed that all mine were gone. Sorry guys don`t know where they went to. Anyways I`m back just like our Tigers!! Spent a couple of hours at camp and am lovin it.The boys are really snappin,crackin,and poppinEspecially enjoyed a few extra curricular activities that took place during team D (No *%&^ if it didn`t bring back some recent memories!!!)

P.S I see we still have a few haters hangin on. Imagine having to go thru life like that.

[Tinkerbell]

I grew up 5 miles from Colerain High School. The head coach at Colerain was my offensive coordinator when I was in high school back in the late 90's. Now I live and work very close to Pick Central. I am EXTREMELY excited about this game! Don't really care who wins, but would love to see an instant classic out of this game.

You better believe that both communities will be out in full support! I wouldn't be surprised to see the majority of the fans from other high schools that are near Colerain come out to see this one!

[3TGRS]

I agree Tink. I know many Tiger fans waiting for tickets to go on sale. And I hear Colerain fans travel very well. Should make for a large crowd when you throw in all of those people from the other teams Colerain has on their schedule who have a vested interest in who wins.

BE FIERCE!!!!!

[pc_tigers]

Scrimmage Update ...... PC 3 Moeller 2 ............... PC 3 Springfield 1 ...... PC 4 Dublin Jerome 2 .....

[3TGRS]

Ah!!!! No action on that post PC! Probably should have posted that on the other thread where the haters are lurking!

[Webko]

tough tough tough call on this one

[Webko]

I have a tough time thinking that PC will beat on Colerain. I think just like Moe last year that PC will have their hands full.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Colerain and HD run similar offenses, so it will be the ground and pound game.
Every year the PC offense needs a few games under their belts to get firing on all cylinders.

Nice to know PC works hard in practice cultivating the dirty play and poor sportsmanship reputation they have so deservedly earned. I'm glad you find enjoyment in the extra-curricular activities that extend into your regular season and makes your program the undisputed champions of unsportsmanlike conduct penalties over the last decade .
Imagine going through life acting like a dynasty and never winning a title. Instead of Purple Tigers you are Paper Tigers.

Hey rattdogg! good to hear from you again!! I am truely sorry for not understanding what you are saying about PC working hard at cultivating dirty play and poor sportsmanship during practice. I maybe wrong here but I think you have misunderstood or took for granted you knew what I was talking about when I mentioned extra-curricular activities. You see there are a few faithful followers who know the meaning(s) of certain things that are discussed on here. You obviously not! How could you know? So giving you the benefit of doubt in which you desparately need I can see where you might misunderstand what was meant by extra-curricular. Once again I apologize for misleading you, but sometimes,and I believe it happens to all of us you just don`t know ****** your talking about!
