Here’s the game story from the Youngstown Vindicator.

Sir, I hate to tell you. But god doesnt watch football.Hes busy.Youve been blessed enough with being independent and busing in D1 talent.Shawnee is D1 talent without recruiting loopholes..Blessed? Shawnee will be blessed.They do it honestly.With the kids that live in the school area. Independent schools will be changed soon.

Please, no excuses before the game is played. Mooney is a private school but don’t start the “recruiting” stuff before the game begins! 95% of the players attended Catholic grade school their entire lives. So stop the BS and play. Mooney is a great program from the best area for football not only in the State of Ohio, but the nation. The SEC of high school football, Mahoning and Trumbull Counties. Shawnee had a great year and it will not be diminished with a loss. But they will lose as sure as the sun will come up tomorrow. Shawnee never played anyone like Mooney. When Shawnee checks into Fawcett Stadium remember the sign at the gates of Hell in Dante’s Inferno, ” Abandon all hope — Ye Who Enter Here”

The “recruiting stuff” is a perfectly valid point. Ok, so they went to a large number of area catholic schools their entire lives. Shawnee doesn’t get to pull the best from Clark and all surrounding counties or whatever equivalent geographical area you want to define. If they did, it would be a leveler playing field. And this coming from a former parochial school teacher and student.

I also think that Ohio Stadium in Columbus would make a much better choice as far as not providing Moooney what amounts to home field advantage, having not only 3x less distance to travel but having played there for the 11th time in the last seven years (and not just for playoff games).

Judge Roy Bean…I PLAYED FOR A D-1 catholic school. I WAS CHASED AND HUNTED NIGHT AND DAY BY THIS SCHOOL TO LEAVE THE INNER CITY AND PLAY THERE.If shawnee would have been aloud to bring in kids from the local big city. Mooney would have had NO chance. but the loopholes go to US. CAtholics and we use our religion to scam highschool sports.I am ashamed of us all.Your denial of facts are scary and sick.
