Congrats to Solon, Sidney, Northmont and Copley and to all other teams for making it to the top 12 in Ohio.

But just because:

The draw obviously affects things, but I'm going to go ahead and make my prediction as:

1 - Solon
2 - Sidney
3 - Northmont
4 - Copley

That said, anyone could finish in any order and none of these teams are invincible, as seen by the results all year.

Congrats to everyone that made it to Columbus, and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens in a couple weeks.

Congrats to Solon on their second OAC State Title!

It was great to be there and read for programs across the state, faces familiar and unfamiliar alike. Despite the fact they didn't make the top four, I came away impressed with Lakewood. As Coach Bergman mentioned in an earlier post, they are solid. I hope to see them, and other schools such as Elyria Catholic, Bowling Green, and even 2009 OAC State Champ Green (of Summit County) at more events!


And perhaps most importantly ( ), congrats to Bob Kilner for picking the top four teams correctly. Thus concludes the 2016 OAC Tournament and the State Pick'em tournament. I'll have your prize waiting for you at Battlebuzz, Bob.

I look forward to listening to my burned CD of Tom Moore singing covers of Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus songs.
