Even though it is early, what are your predictions for the Upper Tier in 2009? Who do you think will win the league, and why? Who will make the playoffs?

Even though 7-on-7's don't reflect how a team reacts to contact, it does say a lot about athleticism and also if the quarterbacks and recievers are on the same page.......
After watching Columbiana and Crestview on saturday at Western Reserve, i begin to doubt Columbiana's athleticism after they failed to defend Crestview's wheel route, as Crestview ran the play at least 3-4 times for a touchdown before Columbiana caught on. #9 for Columbiana did impress me though.
United has plenty of athleticism, with at least 4 recievers that can go up and make the grab. Out of 20 plays, they would throw 15 fades. Zach Taylor and Mike McLaughlin did make some nice catches for TD's, but I would like to have seen fewer picks and more slants and out routes than I did.
Peterson looked solid for East Palestine as he seemed in sync with his recievers.

South Range, Columbiana, and Crestview will be in the playoffs. EP may be there too.
Crestview will in the league but another split with South Range would not surprise me.

I'm gonna stir the pot...big time... Fact: Ep has 58 out for ball, loaded with 25+ lettermen, and 19 Seniors. This is the same team that gave C-view and Range fits last season as underclassmen. They talk about the Beef in Columbiana...so be it. The real beef is just down RT 14 in Ep.  Oh my God, what did I just do?  Good luck to all Upper squads.... |

I worry about every team every week. I take nothing for granted, on paper we might match up well, but thats why we play the games.

Crestview looks to have a solid team this year. South Range (as we all know) keep reloading. I really like the East Palestine uarterback---he's solid. But I need to be true to form: The Clippers are the team I select to come away with the ITCL Upper Tier crown (although I would like to remind everyoine...this is high school football and anything can happen) Therefore, the Clips "might" share the crown with any of the above mentioned teams---in my opinion.

First off, nice summary of the teams and their facts, ITCL webpage. Those previews were straight to the point.
Second, the upper looks to be interesting again this season.
Lastly, I predict no one will run the table again this season in the Upper, and the winner could have two losses.

Thank you bulldog for the compliment. Appreciate that. Thanks also for the post on JJHuddle, I wondered why the site blew-up today with hits!!!
I agree, in the three years since the league started, I really think this year may be the MOST competitive season yet. The winner of both teirs will most likely survive it, not neccessarily win it!

man you bulldog fans really hate columbiana maybe you shouls have watched last nighs game against SCC you want to say we dont have heart or athletacism we played are guts out and came out with the win i would love to see EP try and beat SCC they wouldnt be able to stop that blitz if their lives depended on it all you have is a 6-9 lineman bc your qb is out now and i will be sure to tell him hi when i sack him. last year we took that 6-9 kid and drove him to the ground more times then you can count watch the film.
