Might want to think about 2010 Centerville reserve tickets
CENTERVILLE — Was talking today with Centerville High School football coach and athletic director Ron Ullery, and here’s an interesting note that came from the conversation.
Next season, Centerville’s home schedule, with Week 4 still to fill that could possibly be another home game, is Mason, Cleveland St. Ignatius, Springboro (playing Centerville for the first time), Northmont and Wayne.
That’s quite a home slate for Centerville, which has another major home game coming Friday, Sept. 11, against Moeller.
I stopped by the school to talk with Ullery about Moeller, in fact, and the interesting history between the teams for a story to print next week. Then we got talking about scheduling, and Ullery brought up the background in setting up the St. Ignatius series last spring.
With some holes to fill, Ullery sat down and made a list of 30 programs throughout the state he would like to play. He e-mailed each school laying out Centerville’s open dates and requesting a game.
He got one response, from St. Ignatius, and it turned into a home-and-home series.
Granted, the other teams might not have been available on those dates or just not interested, but the e-mail campaign underlines the difficulty that can come with creating a football schedule.
