I don't see an overwhelming favorite in this division.

According to Genoa's fans, their JV would give Orrville's varsity a good game.

I agree, there are a big handful of tought teams here this year

Alter, Amanda, Ch Falls, Genoa, Girard, Galion, Cl-Massie ...

maybe even NCH I guess

I think Alter is the favorite since they are the defending champs. But I think there are at least 6 teams that have a good shot. I see some of these first round games being blowouts but in Region 14 with a potential 2nd round matchup with Genoa and Orville being a good game. With that winner winning the region. Not sure how good Gallion is. I think Eastwood might be able to pull the upset. Finally the playoffs are here.

Genoa's JV can probably beat alot of teams but lets be realisistic...they are still JV.

Just repeating what I've seen elsewhere: Amanda-Clearcreek lost their star running back (broken leg) in week 10.

So it's hard for me to believe their offense is still going to be anywhere near as effective as it had been. BUT one of their team strengths is their defense, which could be good enough to take them quite a way.

Right now I'd say Region 15 is wide open with A-C still a slight favorite to get to week 14.

Why in the world did my post get deleted? I made a very valid point and I received no clarification.
