I think this team could win 6 or 7 games this year. If they find away to win those 6 or 7 games I think it could lead to them possibly having the momentum going into 2027 to win as many 8 games the most since the 2007 Dayton team went 8-2.

You’re thinking similarly to me, this is pretty much what my thought process is about them.

How are things going for Dayton?

Sorry for the schedule not looking better organized. Didn’t post the way I typed it lol. Games of interest to me are when they play Ludlow, Bellevue, Western Hills, and Iroquois. I would also like to see them play Newport better based on their past two seasons results. Dayton played Western Hills closely and lost at Iroquois last season. I believe that how they do in the mentioned games will tell more of what to expect from them in potential postseason games. I also believe that their results of the first 2-3 games could be indicators based on returning more upper class players this season.
 

I don’t have information on numbers but a few returning players are Malachi Kennedy, Mykah Foster, Elias Lopez Torres, and Landon Harris. Regardless of numbers, it’s going to greatly depend on how much the offensive line and defense has improved. 

Hope they have a great season but I expect Holy Cross to shut them down like they did last year when they play.

Any updates? Who are they scrimmaging against this week?

The Kennedy kid is a STUD. I am elated to see that he will still be a Greendevil this year. Should be fun to see him a year older!

He is and they have other solid running backs too.

I have also heard that practice has gone well for them to this point. I haven’t seen them in action yet, have been busier with my daughters beginning middle school sports and cheer this season. They are super active and keeping me much busier, but I love it though.

Same here about being busy. My girl has started basketball and had to get school clothes for all of them this past weekend. Hoping for another good year. But appreciate any updates you can give on any team in that NKY area.

I have twins and they are year round now. They are active in basketball too. And one does drama and singing between all of it. They are in their last season of youth cheerleading and just began middle school volleyball now.

Twins ouch!!! I always thought that would be the toughest thing ever. I have twin cousins who are 6 month younger than me. But I would love to see my girl get into something else like volleyball or softball or something. But this coming year will be the only year All 3 of my kids will be going to school. I’ve got a senior, 6th grader and preschool. Best of luck with all your activities with those kiddos.

Give us an update. Thanks

I’m curious to see how their o-line will do. That will answer the question how well they do. You can have all the athletes you want, but if you don’t have the boys upfront forget about it
