For overall enrollment, I believe that used to be correct.  But now Lorain, Strongsville and a handful of non-NEO high schools have larger overall enrollments.  I actually remember hearing that Lorain (after the consolidation of AK and Southview) is now the largest in NEO.  Brunswick, Medina, Heights, Euclid, Elyria, Shaker, Solon, and Lakewood are all up there too in terms of numbers.  FWIW, I believe St. X in Cincy and Iggy have more boys than any of the above.

Brunswick is actually slightly larger than Strongsville now, although both are smaller than Mentor.  Lorain and Mentor are almost identical in size.  Fairfield (near Cincinnati) is the largest public high school in the state.

 

As far as number of boys in grades 9-11 (which is what the OHSAA uses to determine divisions in boys sports) Fairfield and St. Xavier are nearly identical, with St. Ignatius close behind them.

I love the NCES website.  Here's their enrollment data (which is obviously a year or two old) for the Greater Cleveland seven county area for schools with over 2000 students:

 

Mentor 2867

Strongsville 2486

Euclid 2271

Mayfield 2266

Brunswick 2253

Medina 2204

Something seems a little off about those numbers, though.  The OHSAA has a different set of numbers that it uses for divisional placements.

OHSAA would be using gender specific numbers.

And they also use only three grades (9th-11th from the previous year, I believe).  But even adjusting for that, the NCES appears to have inflated numbers for Mayfield and deflated numbers for Lorain.

Interesting.  Three of the top six schools were in the GCC.

 

Back in the days when the playoffs was rare for the Mustangs rather than an expectation, they made it one year despite a middling GCC showing, by beating Euclid and at least one other DI school.

Mayfield cannot be that big.  It wasn't long ago that they wavered between D1 and D2 in football, and I don't think the size of the school is rapidly expanding.

Wow, Maple Heights High School is now 3% white (the town is approximately 25% to 30% white).

 

On the flip side, one of the kids that got killed at Chardon was one of the very few black kids there.  There are now 8.

I really think the PD is wrong there.  They do mention about Riverside having 1,949 students but it being 8-12.  Isn't Mayfield also 8-12?  I would bet the 2,200 includes 8th graders.

 

The OHSAA enrollment numbers show 1,074 total students in grades 9-11, so 2,200 actually still seems high if you include 8th graders.

 

EDIT:  The ODE report card for Mayfield High School says 1,995 students for the entire school, which is grades 8-12.

Nice work, somewhere in the deep recesses of my brain I was aware that Mayfield High School was 8th-12th.  Orange also used to be 8th-12th, but I'm not sure that's the case anymore.  Other than that and the one you mentioned, I can't think of many other 8th-12th schools in NEO.  It's a bit of an odd grade configuration for high school.

 

Mentor used to be 10th-12th but I'm fairly certain it's moved to the more standard 9th-12th.  There don't seem to be a lot of 10th-12th schools around anymore, either.

Glenville knocks off Solon in one of last night's premier matchups.  The Tarblooders will be in good shape for a playoff spot if they can run the table in the Senate League as they usually do.

I always thought Mentor was a 4 year school.  Most schools OHSAA members changed to 4 year schools in the mid to late 80s.

I lived in Mentor until 1992, and it was definitely still 10-12 at that time.  The junior high schools were 7-9 and the elementary schools were K-6.

It's early to be sure, but watch Canton McKinley (coached by recent Maple Heights coach Todd Filtz).  They've won their first two against Walsh Jesuit and Huber Heights Wayne, two teams which have been very successful lately.

What happened to Cleveland Heights?  It was looking like they were going to be a more disciplined team, which would represent Jeff Rotsky finally fixing an issue his teams have seemed to have.  Fell apart against Euclid?  Or too many LEL games against Division II teams?

Heights lost two games.  Euclid and Warren Harding, both league games.  That is why they are out and Warren Harding is in.

I don't think league or non-league matters, from a playoffs standpoint.  You get points for winning, and you get points for teams you beat winning.  Points are weighted, more points for beating a Division I team than a Division II, and so on.  This is part of why Maple jumped up to the bigger-school Lake Division for a few years. 

Heights just missed out.  They couldn't make it in their region with a loss to a 6-3 Euclid team and Harding.  The loss the Harding was not that surprising.  They are pretty good this year.  The loss the Euclid was disappointing.  The team just didn't show up to play and got pushed around.  Heights will be back in the mix next year.  They lost too much from last year's senior class, including but not limited to their LT who signed with tOSU and their QB/DB who signed with Boston College.  They will lose two more big-time athletes (Gibson and Laster) this year, but the overall depth of the senior class is not that great.  They are built for a run next year with RB/LB Marcus Bagley, QB Taylor Jones, WR/DB Marcus McSheppard, and WR Dorean Hudson leading the way.

 

Hopefully it will be a bit drier next year.  It seemed that every game this year was played in wet conditions which obviously does not bode to well for Heights strength, which is and always has been speed.

 

Someone also said to me (although I had not heard this) that Heights will be dropping to DII when the divisions are realigned.

How?  Heights student body is huge.

The new D1 is going to be much smaller and inclusion will be determined by gender enrollment.  Heights may have more students overall, but they have less boys than Iggy, Eds, and other all boys schools.  Glenville would drop down as well.  Only the mega public schools, like Mentor, would remain in DI iirc

Don’t get me wrong.  I have nothing at all against Jeff Rotsky and give him all the credit in the world for turning Maple Heights from cellar dwellers into a great team in the regular season.  He’s also tremendous at what’s called “internal recruitment”, getting kids to go out and play.  He’s also a guy that kids will move into town to play for.

 

However….there usually seemed to be that one game where the kids simply didn’t come out ready.  He was 9-1 three years at Maple (or 4?), 10-0 only one.  One of those years was against St. Ed’s, and they hung with them for a half.  But a couple years, it was dumb losses.

 

Then there’s the playoffs.  Jeff made the playoffs five years, and was 2-5.  His teams never made the regional finals.

 

All you really had to do was watch the sidelines to know why.  His teams were not disciplined.  When you’ve got the talent to run out ahead of a team, that doesn’t matter all that much.  When it’s the fourth quarter against a tough team, or it’s rainy and/or cold like happens in November, that matters.  It makes a difference how hard you worked in August, and it makes a difference how focused you are on the plan.

 

He’s a great guy, but he was his players’ buddy.  He played favorites, and his favorites could do no wrong.  Talented kids, to be sure.  Some of them went on to North Carolina.  They got in trouble there.  Charles Brown was suspended for a year, which might have cost him a spot in the NFL draft.  Others faded off the team. 

 

A head coach can do that, if he lets his assistants handle the discipline.  Jeff wouldn’t.  He had a bunch of young talented knowledgeable kids as coaches too, but he treated them as part of the team, not authority figures. 

 

Oh, the counterpoint of favorites is un-favorites.  He told the junior high coaches not to play a kid he did not like.  That kid went to Glenville, and came back to Maple Heights when Todd Filtz took over.  He was PD offensive player of the year two years in a row, and almost singlehandedly won a state title game.

 

Todd’s teams had discipline.  You could see it on the sidelines.  Jeff got those kids to play, Todd  got them to work.  His last year, he lost some of that discipline late in the season, but his playoffs record was 9-2 (corrected) at Maple, with two state title appearances and one championship.  It will be interesting to see what McKinley does in the playoffs.

 

Note I use the past tense about his time at Maple.  Jeff’s a good guy and a very smart guy.  If he can take the next step and get his teams to play with discipline, he could build a dynasty.

I was hoping to see Heights in the playoffs again this year, but I sort of think, based on everything I've read about the legal challenges, that Mayfield should get that final spot...and either way the OHSAA is going to have to clarify language in its by-laws as it moves forward.

There's really no clear cut way to handle this.  It's too late to have a play-in game.  If OHSAA were to follow their own rules, Heights would be in...... as much as that would suck for Mayfield.  OHSAA decided to waive/ignore those rules, which lit a fire under Heights.  You have to understand that it was the OHSAA's unwavering adherence to strict application of its rules which cost Heights a spot in the playoffs two years ago and the OHSAA denied their appeals, so Heights does have a legit argument here.  The bottom line is that it is a bad situation for all involved and they are really just fighting about who has the right to lose to St. Ed's.  But I do think that 8-2 Heights will give Ed's a better challenge than 6-4 Mayfield.  Heights gave Ed's quite a scare in the playoffs last year.  The problem is I think Ed's is better and Heights is not as compared to last year.  Mayfield will/would get crushed by Ed's and I would feel fairly confident they would lose to Heights in a play-in game if one could be held.

Heights did get hosed two years ago and based on that alone I feel like the OHSAA should owe them one.  Not how it works, but it would be poetic justice if the courts give the spot to Heights.

Part of the problem is Cleveland insisting on having tougher standards than the state as a whole, and applying them retroactively.  I can see, for example, St. Edwards insisting that kids have a higher GPA to play than the state allows, but it's hard to imagine them retroactively forfeiting if someone inadvertently played.

On one hand I don't want to see Heights in this!  >:D >:D Go Red Raiders! 

 

However, I see where the OHSAA has set a precedent and now must follow their own rules.

The retroactive part is where the issue arises.  I believe most schools/districts have set eligibility standards that are higher than what the OHSAA requires.

 

 

Oh and from what I'm hearing/reading, Heights and Beachwood are OUT, and Mayfield and Edgewood are back IN, and that the ruling is final now.

Heights gets screwed again.... from the other side.  But I'm happy for Mayfield.  I think it is their first ever D1 appearance.

Heights gets screwed again.... from the other side.  But I'm happy for Mayfield.  I think it is their first ever D1 appearance.

 

I can agree that Heights "deserved" to get in based on the screw job they got a couple years ago.  But based on the bylaws, it's unclear as to what should happen and I don't think there's a precedent in football.  The problem is that the game was completed and then the violation was called out by the school was not an OHSAA violation.  In the eyes of OHSAA, it would be no different than a school randomly deciding to forfeit a game after the fact to get a buddy's school in the playoffs (I know that's not what happened here, I'm just saying that's why OHSAA may feel that allowing a school to forfeit a win after the fact when they didn't violate any OHSAA rules may be a slippery slope).  However, the bylaw says that a game must be forefeited if a player is found ineligible, but then apparently never defines whether or not eligibility is determined by the school or by its own standards.

I just feel bad for the Heights' seniors that had to deal with the inconsistent application of the rules for 2 out of their 3 years playing varsity.

 

Going forward, I would support a rule which would not give a secondary effect to teams not involved in a forfeited game.  In that scenario, only the team who forfeits the game and the team it played against in that game would see a change in their computer points.

No need for that, the Heights-Shaker rivalry is over now that the Red Raiders, a charter member of the LEL, ran off to the NOC. ;)

Ahem, my Chardon Hilltoppers are moving on to play kenston in a geauga county rumble.  Chardon will win, obviously.

 

Hope they do.  I used to work in Chardon.  I went to the Maple - Chardon game last year (this was before the shooting) and it was probably the first time since I was on the sidelines myself that a game reminded me so much of that era.  They played Maple tough, too....and this was "defending state champs" Maple not this year's rebuilding version.  The Mustangs only put it away in the fourth quarter.

Combining a couple posts:

 

-Are you all talking about the case a few years back where Cleveland Heights forfeited a few games?  Or was there another case since then?

 

I have a little bit of knowledge about that case.  The kid in question lived in Maple Heights and was staying with a relative in Cleveland Heights because he prerferred to play for Jeff Rotsky and did not care for a certain Maple Heights coach.  That’s how the Maple players and coaches knew who to point out.  The paperwork may have been inadvertently not filed, but the OHSAA sometimes investigates cases like this based on the filings.  It was exactly the sort of situation the transfer rules are designed to prevent.

 

There’s nothing new about the domino effect of forfeits.  The year before the Cleveland Heights forfeits, Maple missed a playoff spot because East Liverpool forfeited a couple games.

 

-I actually had to look up and see if Shaker had ever been to the playoffs.  That bizarre 1979 game where the Mustangs team I "played" on beat them almost certainly cost them their first appearance (before there were even divisions).  It surprised me that Heights' 2011 appearance was their first ever.

My brother wrestled at Iggy and they would officiate CYO matches.  He once saw HF talking to a couple kids, bring out his wallet, look around, see Dave in his SI gear, and put it back away.
