Lorain, OH - Clearview High School (TCY)

[Balldog]

My fellow FOFC members such as Peregine, Izulde, and others have inspired me to start a "Dynasty" following the players that come from one high school for several years. I have chosen Lorain - Clearview HS in Ohio, located in NE Ohio near Cleveland. Closest colleges are Akron (42), Kent State (42), Toledo (73), Bowling Green (76), Eastern Michigan (92), Michigan (98), Ohio State (110), and Pittsburgh (135).

CLASS OF 2005

Colin Gardner, RB
Ranked as the 81st best player by Rivals.com in Ohio, 6th best Running Back. After four games he has just 69 carries for 435 yards and 2 TDs, he also has 3 receptions for 13 yards. Colin has a very good attitude, with a 2.84 GPA and he scored 953 on his Test. He would like to major in Economics, academics and distance are his selection empasis.

Norbert Hancock, S
Ranked as the 93rd best player by Rivals.com in Ohio, 4th best Safety. After four games he has 25 tackles, 0 sacks and 0 interceptions. Teams have been throwing away from Hancock. Norbert has a rather poor attitude, with a 2.88 GPA and he scored 1009 on his Test. He would like to major in Business, he would prefer to be go away for school and academics are important to him.

[Izulde]

You know... this is sort of ironic, because I thought about doing something similiar with my dynasty... Only what I was going to do was put in a player for each position of my HS alma mater (Park High School in Racine, Wisconsin) and see how that went. Then I realized a) that'd be too ambitious for my first dynasty and b) I don't know yet how to edit in players.

That said, I'm glad you started up this dynasty and I'm really looking forward to seeing how this turns out :)

Colin finally gets some attention from Columbia (SCE), they come aggressive and offer a scholarship right away. I hope he is patient, I think he can do better. This week he has 108 yards on 20 carries and 1 reception for 5 yards. Teams appear to be keying on him.
Season Totals: 142 car, 740 yds, 2 TDs, 9 rec, 109 yds

Considering: Columbia

[Balldog]

WEEK 6

Gardner, RB
Colin has a new school contact him, this week its Penn (SCE). A let down as I thought by now he might get some attention from a few MAC schools. Columbia remains the only school to offer a scholarship.
Projection: 1) Columbia, 2) Penn

Hancock, S
Nothing new to report for Hancock.
Projection: ???

[Balldog]

WEEK 7

Gardner, RB
Colin has decided to visit Columbia, sounds like they are in control unless someone steps in soon.
Projection: 1) Columbia, 2) Penn

Hancock, S
Nothing new to report for Hancock.
Projection: ???

Hopefully this will liven up after this season and I get a few more players to report on.

[Balldog]

WEEK 8

Gardner, RB
Gardner is starting to see some activity, he receives calls from Akron, Princeton, and Yale. Akron is the closest but has a poor Economics (16) program.
Projection: 1) Columbia, 2) Akron, 3) Penn, 4) Princeton, 5) Yale

Hancock, S
Applied for job at McDonald's.
Projection: ???

[Balldog]

WEEK 9

Gardner, RB
Personally, I think Colin jumped the gun in signing with Columbia but he did it. He could have waited as he was starting to get more attention. Columbia is 4-3 and they run the run-n-shoot offense. Does not make sense but its his choice, he could possibly start there next year as there #1 running back is graduating.
Signed with Columbia (SCE)

Hancock, S
Did not get the job at McDonald's either.
Projection: ???

WEEK 10

Gardner, RB

Hancock, S
Still nothing, his bat attitude is probably hurting.
Projection: ???

WEEK 14

Gardner, RB
Columbia finishes 5-6, their leading rusher had 503 yards on just 80 carries. He will be returning next year to give Colin some competition.
Signed with Columbia (SCE)

Projection: ???

2004 SEASON END

Gardner, RB
Columbia had the 120th ranked recruiting class out of 125 teams, less than impressive.
Signed with Columbia (SCE)

Hancock, S
Hancock may walk-on at a Division 1 school, but more than likely he will go Division 1-AA and be lost.

Michigan had the nation's best recruiting class, UCLA won the National Championship, Darrin Guy (QB) of Georgia won the Player of the Year Award.

[Balldog]

Well shit, we have no players available in this year's recruiting class.

[JeeberD]

Hancock, S
Still nothing, his bat attitude is probably hurting.
Projection: ???

Cool concept...I may have to give something like this a shot. Go Irvin Rockets!!! :)

[Izulde]

Ouch! Rough days for Gardner, Columbia, and the high school as a whole. Hopefully we'll see more action in the coming years

[JeeberD]

Duncan needs to go pro early so that Gardner can get the damn ball...

I would be surprised if Gardner didn't get less carries this year, Duncan is pulling away ratings wise.

Yeah, if not I may scrap this one and go with a Toledo City Schools one. Instead of doing one school do a town. There have been a couple Lorain City schools with players but none from Clearview.

[thealmighty]

I don't know what this concept will end up as, but it is a great idea. I'll be following for sure.

[MrBug708]

I remember one TCY dynasty I had, one school in Elicot City Maryland, ALWAYS had a Top 200 player nearly every year and a few times more then one. I would recruit that school every year. I know it's random, but it was nice to see always
