Allen the two big Catholic schools in my neck of the woods were powerhouses. The best one was Youngstown Cardinal Mooney. Just as an example Mooney grads are currently head coach of:
Of course two are brothers, (Stoops) but not bad for a small school. Numerous state titles, and of course even today Ohio is a football factory so if you win state you are doing something good. I see Cathedral Catholic being absolutely sick in the coming years. Drawing from the population bases up I-5, I-15 and along 56 in north county, they will just be loaded.
By the way some other big time college coaches from the NE Ohio are Tressel at Ohio State, Les Miles at LSU and that guy Urban Meyer who is doing ok at Florida. Football is big…. Hell Josh McDaniels from Denver his dad was the head coach at Warren Harding for all the years my wife taught in the schools there. Guy was a legend went from Canton Mckinley, to Warren Harding and finally to Massilon all well regarded HS programs. Josh is what 33?
