Final Thoughts on Championship Games

I, like you have had a chance to digest the championship games.  Just a few thoughts.

I was disappointed that 4 of the 6 games were basically blow outs.  Always hoping for a great match up, as I rarely have a team to root for.  I have to say, however that the DAVIDSON / GLENVILLE game was great.  Any coach that decides to go for two to win a game has my respect.  Too many coaches at all levels make conservative calls because they are afraid to be wrong and second guessed.  I thought this made for the best game of the weekend.

Disappointed to see that the attendance was down.  I know that there may be many good reasons for it (one Repository writer mentioned bad match ups and the economy, and I particularly agree with the latter), it could not have been a worse year for a decline.  As you know, the OHSAA will be deciding whether or not to move the championships for the next contract.  Let's keep our finger's crossed.
