Sure, I can agree with slightly above average for the district. However, outside of Liberty none of them have even BEEN to a regional final let alone win a D1 region. Even all the D2 years the schools have had the Olentangy Braves only went to (and won) one regional final.
The “they still beat Orange and Liberty” comment. Those were the “good” wins? They beat 3-7 Liberty in OT and 4-6 Orange by 7. Never said Berlin was bad just average or slightly above. I do not think Canal is great either but they won their OCC division too. Beat some of the central Ohio big boys consistently, make a playoff run, something of merit not Thomas Worthington and Jerome. By the way losing your QB is not an excuse to lose by 3 possessions and only score 7 points in a playoff game. Obviously, not ideal, but everyone has injuries and put out better products than that, especially in a game of that magnitude.
Orange did beat Coffman and I definitely did not think Coffman was great (Which is the team I follow by the way) but I will take the 7-3 with regional final appearance with that schedule over Berlin’s season. I watched that game and Berlin had talent but looked like a mess that night.. I forgot quarterback was hurt so cancel the season.. great mentality.
I'll start by saying, I realize this entire post is a politely disguised troll, but I will go ahead and address all the points as though you are the completely clueless football "fan" that this post wants us to believe it is from.
Let's start with Olentangy.
In addition to flat out factually butchering their playoff record, drawing a conclusion that they are slightly above average at best this past decade is an absolutely clown shoes assertion on a level that should result in your expulsion from this board.
Olentangy's playoff record this past decade is 12-10. 12 playoff wins the last 10 years.
They made the state final 8 (regional final, as you put it) 3 of those 10 years. 2014 as division 2, 2015 as division 1, and 2019 as division 2. It's no wonder your post is full of such ignorant remarks when you can't even start with basic facts.
Regarding Berlin, a team in their 6th year of existence, they were competitive with several of the 10 best D1 teams last year. The game at Bradley they easily could have and should have won. Plays, first downs, yardage, were all dead even and Berlin was on the Bradley 25 about to score when the game ended.
And you clearly did not see the Coffman game and are going off 3rd party info, because Berlin held Coffman to 9 first downs, yardage was dead even, and Coffman got nearly 2/3 of their yards on 3 fluke plays (which they admittedly need to defend better if they want to win). The backup QB who had almost no snaps this season came in and completed 14/26 passes, but his 3 INTs ultimately turned the game and a late pk6 made the score look much worse than it was.
To suggest that they weren't on the same level as Coffman or couldn't have beaten them with their regular QB in is the opinion of someone who clearly knows nothing about football. And to suggest that they gave up on the season is insultingly stupid when you look at stats from the game.
A lot more I could say, but really not worth wasting any more time with someone this clueless.
they should always be a player in R3
