Classic matchup here. A power team from Ohio. How in the world in I missed this one. Definitely interesting game coming up. Any thoughts on this game.?
Archbishop Moeller vs Mallard Creek
- Thread starter Vik-Val 86
- Start date
Because of the Cardinal Gibbons games not happening. Creek was able to schedule this one, as they needed a game. So, looks like we'll be playing this one during the bye week.
Vik, should I call you Vik-Val or something else?
Man Yeah to your question. So with Mallard Creek competing against these incredible, thrilling, heart-pounding high skilled programs, traveling miles and letting everyone know they cant take the shine away, I think we may witness a new champion rise. But if not, yes, yes, yes, yes I know many of the athletes are destined to college, which is always the cover up for not achieving the ultimate victory!
Love what Tinsley is doing a Mallard Creek. Awesome coach even better person

As a Butler fan, Mallard Creek is probably the other Charlotte team I watch the most. They don’t duck anyone.
Hopefully they are going up Friday night. That would be rough getting up early Saturday morning then drive 5 hours and play a game.
Interesting as that is about 2 1/2 hours for Moeller as well

My brother use to live up near Cincinnati Ohio. I would go visit about twice a year. Seems like more times than not we get caught up in traffic jamb on interstate due to a wreck or something. Good thing MC is leaving Friday evening. Safe travels for MC as they go up.
Tanks Memorial Stadium was the home of the Ironton Tanks semi-pro football team, which played in the American Professional Football Association that later became the NFL in 1930. Their overall record was 83 wins, 19 loses, and 14 ties, and they beat the Chicago Bears and the New York Giants. The Tanks disbanded in 1931, and many of their players moved on to other NFL teams.
This information is shown on a State of Ohio Historical Monument at the stadium which can be read on Google Maps photos, so I assume it is all true.
Ironton is in Eastern Ohio on the north side of the Ohio River. Kentucky is across the river on the south side, so Ironton is very near the intersection of Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia.
Sounds like a pretty interesting old place. The stadium is old and oddly enough the stands are covered, but the the whole place looks very well maintained and the artificial turf looks to be in great condition.

The anticipated matchup between Moeller and Mallard Creek high schools may not take place at Tanks Memorial Stadium in Ironton, Ohio. The game may be called because of a weather system moving through. My wild guess is that MC will stop Moeller on their previous series. They will drive down inside the 15 with 4 minutes, 46 seconds left to play. Game will be called because of weather. Tied 31-31!

Beautiful weather all day.
No disrespect to Ohio or anywhere else but its a pisser that currently there are teams from Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Nevada, etc...ranked ahead of North Carolina teams. Kentucky? Seriously. I like the Creek in this one.
Idk about the other states you mentioned but it’s been some big time nationally recognized programs in Ohio. I dare to maybe say Ohio is more respected than NC in HSFB. NC still has the stigma of being a basketball state. This state has pumped out some incredible basketball players, including recently. NC hoopers are consistently going in the lottery in the nba draft.
You pretty much have it right. Ohio has some very good teams, Moeller, St. Edward, Washington, Archbishop Hoban, Avon, Olentangy Liberty, St. Xavier (Cincinnati) among others. With Kentucky I'd raise the same question, unless you're talking about Trinity out of Louisville, KY. Apart from Bishop Gorman, I'd wonder about Nevada as well. In Tennessee, there are a couple of pretty good teams. You have McCallie out of Chattanooga and Oakland out of Murfreesboro.
Spent a ton of time watching the storied programs when I lived there 1990- 96. Not as familiar now but I would say athletically some of the top NC schools and certainly schools like Grayson and Bufurd could hang all day. Systemically and coaching is where the difference lies. Schools ST X, Elder, Mollerr have college level position coaches versus NC schools where your lucky to get a guy to show up in many cases.
0-0 7 minutes left in 1st quarter. Creek just got a 4th down stop.
Mallard Creek with another stop. Defensive game so far and still 0-0 with 2 mins left in the first.
I’ll let you take over from here. No need for both of us updating.
