Outlook<\/p>\n
The Eagles graduated a big chunk of their running game productivity in Bryce Peet, Caden Proy and Ricky DiPetta, but a lot of talent returns. The line is big and experienced, anchored by Braden Stark and Jacob Clemens. Owen Davis is a seasoned running back in the grind-it-out running game Geneva employs. The strength is on the lines. But the same four that start on the defensive front also start on offense. Depth can be a concern. The Eagles will run the ball relentlessly and be tough on defense as usual.<\/p>\n
Player to watch
\nJacob Clemens<\/p>\n
Jacob Clemens is an unbelievably strong starter on both sides of the ball. At 6-foot, 290, he\u2019s strong and physical enough to stop the run on defense and pave the way on offense.<\/p>\n
![\"Cooper](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/TNH-L-GenevaDubsky-01.jpg\")
Cooper Dubsky<\/p>\n
Underclassman to watch:\u00a0Someone will need to step up in the running game. Will junior halfback Cooper Dubsky that guy? He\u2019s got a golden opportunity<\/p>\n
Bottom line<\/p>\n
IF: The Eagles stay healthy on the offensive and defensive lines, THEN: The Eagles\u2019 physical play will mean contending for another league title and playoff berth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Just the facts School: Geneva Conference: CVC Chagrin OHSAA: Division III, Region 9 Coach: Don Shymske, fifth year…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":116511,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[7],"tags":[65,10793,6610,55146,5999,2892,307],"class_list":["post-116510","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-geneva","tag-geneva","tag-geneva-eagles","tag-high-school-sports","tag-hs-football","tag-latest-headlines","tag-ohio","tag-sports"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ch\/117111604363420222","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116510","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116510"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116510\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/116511"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116510"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116510"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116510"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
