Not really sure. The sequence has been big class - small class - big class - small class. Dayton will have 18 seniors, 6 or 7 juniors and 10-15 sophomores.

This is very true... it follows the 06 seniors who had 10 or 12 guys and this years 07 seniors who had only 6 or 7...

I know nothing about them... post away.

only lost two 2way starters, which is unheard of for a small school... lost a total of 3 starters on O and D... everyone else is back...

They will be very good. Should be a top 10 team in the state! If not they will surprise a lot of people. Great group of seniors. They are exceptional leaders and very athletic. Most are three year starters.

How about the Lewis kid that was a frosh last year is he gonna be a starter this year?

Does James Jones play football ?

from my intermediate knowledge, no and no...

Lickert staying or going does matter, alot!! One thing that kids need most is consistancy. Especially at a school like Dayton, where people view it as a stepping stone, or a lower tier job. The kids are hurt when the adults, coaches and teachers that they bond with and look up to leave after a year or two. You said so yourself they need to stay on track. That includes Lickert.

Just in case anyone is reading this thread for the first time, I think it is proper that we point out that Dayton's HC left the program to take a position at 5A Holmes.

When did he do that?

When did he do that?

Before school let out I believe. There is an article in todays enquirer that talks about him putting in the Shotgun at Holmes.

I was pretty sure he had left, but I wanted someone else to say it first because I was't 100% sure.

Thats do bad for Dayton he had them on the right track. I think Dayton and Holmes meet in the first week at Dayton.

Whose at the helm for the Greendevils now?

I just made a call to some Dayton people I know. They confirmed that Dayton plays Holmes at Dayton this year for game one of the regular season. That should be a interesting match up. I hope coach Lickert didn't set the schedule before he left. They said the coach's name is Zach but didn't know his last name.

Thanks for the details.
