You know the situation and the program well. Do you mind if I ask if you are one of the coaches?

 

No, not one of the coaches, I have 3 Sons who have been throught the program. #2 is a Junior, and #3 is a Freshman, #1 Graduated 2 yrs ago.

 

I have spoken to Coach Douglass quite often, and know that he really works for his players to get them into school.

 

I am an active member of the Booster Club, so I am around the program "Happenings" quite a bit.

 

to be honest I was one of the people complaining and bickering until after my first son was going into his senior year, and saw and heard with my own ears what the coach was doing.

 

*** I must edit, I do coach a Youth team with the Wee Rams (3rd graders). So I am a Trotwood Coach I suppose. LOL But I am sure thats not what you meant.....LOL

Make it stop. It seems like every time I turn around, Trotwood has another "MAJOR" D1 player either transferring in or moving in.:scared: This will be a huge challenge for HHS. Hey Ram, where does Trotwood see themselves ranked pre-season with all this talent? Can't wait for this game because I would like to see how close HHS can keep it. Like to see if they are as good as Colerain was two years ago. That was the best Ohio team that I have seen play.

 

 

That Colerain team was VERY good, and there are many who are excited about this season. And what potentially could happen. however no one is counting their chickens so to speak.

 

Highlands will be a tough game for Trotwood. Great program, great tradition, etc. So for anyone to say Trotwood rolls them is crazy talk. Players have to play the game still.

 

On how the team will do, .... Ohio high Magazine, who runs http://www.jjhuddle.com , picked Trotwood to win the D2 State Championship this season. Last season they picked 3 or 4 of the winners, so take that for what its worth.

 

My thoughts are that they should go deep into the playoffs, but that depends on injuries, match-ups, and plain dumb luck.

 

I see them 8-2, 9-1, 10-0 tough games vs Northmont, Piqua, Highlands, and Marion Franklin

Well, I wont post when the others come in the next 2 weeks. there are 3 others I did not post, and there are about 3-5 more in the next 2 weeks that will be in school.

Not all are seniors, but the Dayton Public schools levy failed this year, and they cut almost all the sports in DPS. So there is an influx of those kids going to schools in the area, Trotwood seems to be getting the top kids, and Centerville is also getting a few as well.

 

To make matters even more weird is that the local Catholic schools are getting kids fleeing from there to go to public schools and thats how Shaw came back to Trotwood. there are 4 from Dayton Chaminade Julienne who are expected to enroll at Trotwood.

 

the private school kids have always lived in Trotwood. And the DPS district borders Trotwood's so kids are either living with relatives in Trotwood or moving.

Was that Clay Cecil, Highlands' QB I saw out running through town last night at 11:45pm? That kid truly wants to win a state championship this year. Most kids are hanging with their buddies or kicking it at home watching ESPN on a Saturday night at this time and this kid is out doing more conditioning. He must really be preparing to play both ways. : )

915 is the name of the local resturant, 11:45 is when Cecil was out for his jog. I think he gets his dedication from his mom's side of the family. It sounds a little militaryish to me.

Oops. Didn't read it closely enough.

 

Outstanding athlete. Good to hear he's a hard worker. Easy to root for a kid like that.
