Now wait a minute! When I played at Eastern Ohio, we played outside on blacktop in 100-degree heat! 😒
Working on the finishing touches!

- Parental issues in high school sports are reaching disturbing and potentially catastrophic levels. So, I wrote a letter hoping some eyes will open before it is too late. We shall see.
- Now that the OHSAA has given the thumbs up to start winter sports, next thing to do is to modify this contact tracing debacle. Forcing kids to quarantine for 14 days because they sat in the same classroom while both were wearing masks is just crazy.
- Replying to @coachdanmoore @NFHS_Org and @Jerry_SnodgrassPlay defense and this doesn’t happen. Force the action.
- So Ohio State and Michigan played during the Spanish Flu, Great Depression, two World Wars and countless other global events, but not during a pandemic with a 99% survival rate? 2020, you don't make any sense to me.
- I cannot wait for the day I never have to type or read, "COVID-19" again.
- BREAKING: After 36 seasons, Ontario boys basketball coach Joe Balogh will step down from his position. Balogh leaves with a 598-227 record with 21 league championships, 21 sectional titles, eight district championships and one regional title (1995). Thanks for everything, Joe B!
- OHSAA Member Schools will vote to allow high school athletes to sign Name, Imagine and Like was endorsement deals as long as they don’t use their teams, schools and/or OHSAA logos. We could be entering a new age in HS sports if this passes.
- TOUCHDOWN TYGERS!!!!! Mansfield Senior beats Aurora 27-21 and will play for a state title!!!!!
- What a moment!!! Mason Simmons, the team manager for four years, drills a 3 on senior night! Amazing!! @scsathletics1 @WhippetsShelby
00:00 - BREAKING: Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Lt. Governor Jon Husted announce nothing regarding sports. Absolutely nothing. Zip. Zero. Nada. An absolute freaking joke. They want to wait until closer to the date when contact sports are scheduled to start to make a decision. 🤦🏻
- Working on possibly the most important series of stories I've ever done. I've talked with four high school athletes about the mental challenges of being a high school athlete today. Never have I believed more than now that high school athletics need to be played!
