Yeah, Davidson would be Mikey's High School in three and a half years if we weren't moving. They will be a regional power and occasional state power for a long time, hell, they beat Colerain to get to the finals.
Last year Davidson lost in the state semi's to Cincinnati St. Xavier, a nationally ranked team, in a very close game.
Hilliard is a suburb that is about the size of Mentor and has a similar economic breakdown, but it is going to have three high schools here in a couple of years (right now it has two). In the municipal peewee football league last year they had 25 Division I (8-10year old) teams from Hilliard alone. Talk about a high school football farm system.
Coming from a Wolverine, we're the football equivalent of a formerly abused wife of a meth addict who just remarried the safe nice guy. We're just glad we have someone who's aware that it's a rivalry and that tackling on defense is integral. Baby steps.
