This offseason I wanted to study/research what H.S. state champion basketball teams did from a statistical perspective in order to provide a benchmark for what you should be striving for. I was able to collect data from 23 boys & 23 girls championship teams dating back to 2012.
I will never understand H.S. kids who miss their current, in-season school sport game/event for an out of season club/travel sport activity. No issue with kids doing club/travel, but your H.S. team should always take priority (and that concludes my TED Talk)
The
@EastwoodTF
girls track team just won their 21st straight conference championship. Amazing. The streak is now old enough to enjoy an adult beverage. Bill Clinton was in office the last time a team other than Eastwood won. Mothers & daughters are a part of the same streak now
Congrats to these two ladies last night on being recognized into the 1000pt club! 2 of the best bucket getters I have had the chance to coach but more importantly they were great teammates, tough as nails & were WINNERS. When in doubt get the ball to Jamie/Aubs & get out the way!
3 years ago, amidst uncertainty and worry across the world, our lives changed dramatically with the arrival of our Nora Beth. I wouldn’t want to “make popcorn and watch Cinderella” with anyone else! Happy birthday!!!
Cant take this list seriously if you're leaving off

@els_eagles
girls soccer coach Megan Rutherford has stepped down. In her 11 years Eastwood was 152-45-16, 4 consecutive Northern Buckeye Championships and were regional qualifiers the last 4 years. She was named as the DIII Coach of the Year in the State of Ohio in 2021.
(TED Talk actually continued…)
Great story below.
We > Me.
You play for the people beside you that have always been there for you, and hopefully you have been there for them. Something to be said for loyalty.
(I promise now that my TED Talk is officially over)
Wow. Time flies. Can’t believe that was 5 years ago. What a run. Great team. Great players. Was a magical 15 weeks. Nobody cared who got the credit. It was “just win baby!”
The last 13 years there’s been a Schmeltz football player taking the field for the Red and White. What a run it was. Time for a break now. Can’t wait for boys of my own to get this experience one day.
How is this girl 4 years old already?!
The other day in the driveway playing basketball…..
“Dad, you’re the coach. I’m the Flyers. And we’re against the Eagles.” 🥹
Time, slow down please. Happy birthday Nora Beth!
Connor Bowen had the previous record (189). After watching CB & his teams play, I never thought that record would be broken. Congrats Preston! I hope my media guys

@MatthewHornNH
are taking note of the season Mr. Snyder is having averaging 12.5ppg/8.3apg
As fate would have it - Preston Snyder, who broke the single season assist record tonight, gets the final assist of the night on a 3 from Jay Blazevich!
If you’re always having to tweet, post, say, etc. how good your “culture” is…it’s probably the exact opposite. Rich people don’t have to say rich they are. Smart people don’t need to prove to others how smart they are. When you know you know. When you have it you have it.
Happy Mother’s Day to our superhero. The ultimate team player. The girls and I are so grateful to have her! Hope this day is as special as you are!
@nicoleschmeltz
Please welcome Eastwood’s newest hire, Nora Schmeltz, assistant to the assistant tech woman.
She brings a great ability of laughter, willingness to nap whenever needed, and will listen only some of the time.
Boom! Home run hire and super happy for
@MegRuth18
and her family. Megan is everything you want in a coach and, more importantly, a person. Excited to see her jump into this next adventure
Welcome to Megan Rutherford, who will be the new Women's Soccer Coach at LHS. We are looking forward to continued successes on the pitch.

@GenoaBasketball
parent meeting tonight. Gave me goosebumps knowing how close we’re getting. Just 19 days until day one of practice! Coach Sandwisch and the boys are ready to get rolling! The Impact Zone will be getting a show every night!!
Eastwood Football records versus opponents currently in the NBC since 2001:
Elmwood 17-0
Lake 16-1
Otsego 16-2
Woodmore 14-3
Genoa 11-7
Rossford 11-1
Fostoria 7-0
9 league championships and finished 2nd in league 7 other years. Only 1 year not finishing 1st or 2nd.
Spouses of coaches are a different breed. They hold down the fort while we’re physically and mentally gone for months. They deal with our attitudes when we lose and come home with a roller coaster of emotions. And don’t really reap financial benefits of it either 😅
Saturday mornings in November are meant for basketball scrimmages. Great to be back in the gym competing this morning. Them

boys were WORKIN’ today
Flight Crew! Huge road win for the boys in blue tonight! Gutted it out. Wasn’t pretty but stayed the course. Shoutout to the JV Flyers too for their W and improving to 7-1!
What an awesome experience for these kids. Life is remembered by and centered around “moments”. They all will certainly have this special experience to recount for many, many years. Well done

@JakeFurr11
Jake, excellent piece. Extremely well done. By in large, being a HC brought so many joys & pleasant experiences-but I certainly dont miss the text messages right after (or during) the game, the constant 2nd guessing, & the general thought I wasn't doing what was best for the TEAM
Extremely proud of my wife for taking a chance & stepping outside her comfort zone to coach volleyball. It was so cool to witness the impact she made with these girls on & off the court. She truly had a "joyful" experience. I look forward to the continued influence she will have!
Final score from the Impact Zone, the Comets defeat Eastwood 55-52 in a great High School basketball game.
Genoa freshman won 34-14 and Genoa JV won 44-39 for the Comet sweep tonight.

Amelia’s asleep. Nicole and Nora got real quiet. Next thing I know…I hear the front door close and the car start. They left to go get ice cream without me.
Thank you to all who helped celebrate Nicole and I yesterday. It was an amazing day and night. We we got to spend it the most incredible people ever. Special thanks to our wedding parties for being awesome and having fun with us
Proud of this group of young men for battling in a heated rivalry game. Special thing ahead! Big congrats too goes out to

Never been more proud to be a part of the Eastwood family and community. What

accomplished this year was nothing short of amazing and I loved every moment of it
The Comets finish the program sweep of the Eagles with a 50-38 victory in the Varsity game. Great 4th quarter on defense only giving up 4 points!

. That group went on to the state championship game in ‘17. Big time!
#ExpectGreatness
Winners win! Not surprised there’s success surrounding Craig still. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, smartest and most prepared person I’ve ever been around
The amount of high school coaches that I've seen who have bashed or put blame on their athletes to the media is sickening. How about you own it and take some responsibility as a coach.
Shoutout to
@WoodmoreSports
for their amazing Athletics section on their website. Great history, records, schedules, and information for all sports. One of the best I have seen! Check it out
Currently with family members and they’re trying to justify going to fireworks in the rain tonight…one says: “the rain might feel good!”
We’re willing to do anything to go see some fireworks
