Week 1: Clyde 13, Tiffin Columbian 7 quick reaction and stats
Hey, all! Welcome to another season of high school football. You know what that means! It's time for me to fire up the Jimbo Says! blog once again! I was down at Frost Kalnow for the first game of the season and the Tiffin Columbian Tornadoes and Clyde Fliers did not disappoint in week 1. These teams have a history that dates way back and Clyde made fewer mistakes on their way to a 13-7 victory.
The scoring started when Alex Marshall intercepted a Stone Simmons pass (it looked like a miscommunication with the receiver on a timing route) and took it back for a 66-yard touchdown. After that, TC answered and knotted the game up at seven after a 13-play drive ended on a beautifully thrown ball that Simmons delivered to Hoyda in the right corner of the end-zone for an eight-yard touchdown.
Clyde eventually broke the stalemate when Clyde's senior receiver Derek Gray beat the Columbian defense on a 41-yard TD reception.
Columbian threatened late on a 44 yard pitch and catch from Simmons to freshmen Russ Yeast III, but Yeast couldn't quite get behind the Clyde secondary and the game ended on another Simmons' incomplete toss.
Quick reaction
- Although Simmons was a mere 9-22 passing, the kid showed that he has the ability to make just about any throw on the field. He also came into the game and did not seem rattled. A couple of mistakes that are typical of a sophomore starting quarterback were made, but Simmons has arm talent that reminds of another recent TC QB, Ryan Tittle.
- Spencer Franklin is the #2 RB. Coming into this game, I was unsure of the depth that TC had at tailback. Franklin actually finished the game with 50 yards on just 9 carries. He has the acceleration to get through the hole and with this TC line, he should have a fairly successful year.
- TC misses its suspended players. Having a wildcat/scrambling threat at the QB position has been a staple of Brian Colatruglio's offense during his last three years at the helm for Columbian and not having that tonight truly hurt the offense. It looked predictable at times. Credit must be given to the Clyde defensive coaching staff, as they were packing the box with 7 and 8 players and daring young sophomore QB Stone Simmons to beat them. The impressive part is that Simmons nearly did it.
- I truly believe that some of the drops made by receivers early in the game may have played a bit into hurting Simmons' confidence and thus hurt his production in the second half. He started the second half going 1-9 with an interception.
- Russ Yeast is going to be a talented player for years to come. Now, Colatruglio and his staff just need to find a way to get him more touches. Today he only ended with two catches.
- That's all for now, plenty more to be talked about though as Columbian's 17-game home winning streak under Colatruglio was snapped tonight,

Tiffin Columbian Football: Too Early Preview
There's only 77 days until the Tiffin Columbian Tornadoes kick off their football season at home against the Clyde Fliers.
But who's counting?
Here is a before two-a-days look at your Tornado team for this season! Make sure and check back on the site for our Tiffin Calvert preview and more information about the teams as we move closer to the season:
Last season ended in a familiar way for Columbian.
The Tornadoes
were bounced from the state playoffs in the regional quarterfinal round by
familiar foe, Avon High School. This marked the second time in as many years
that Avon was Columbian’s final opponent in the playoffs and the third time in
the last decade. That Columbian
team had plenty to hang their hats on, however, as they finished a perfect 10-0
during the regular season, tallying the program’s first undefeated season since
the Tornadoes joined the NOL in 1954. Columbian’s last undefeated season prior was
in 1918 when they went 2-0 under head coach John Hutchins.
The challenge for the Tornadoes in 2013 will be replacing seven players that helped contribute to an offense that averaged over 35 points per game. Replacing key players like first-team all-district member, Jack Jacoby, could prove to be a daunting task. The Tornadoes, though, have been known for their ability to re-load talent as opposed to rebuilding in the past 20+ years, as they’ve managed to win at least seven games in every season dating back to 1994.
Coach Steve Gilbert started the run in his second season as head coach in 1994 and he recorded a 137-44 record. Current head coach Brian Colatruglio took the helm in 2010 and has led the team to at least ten wins in each of his three seasons. Colatruglio’s record with the team is 32-6.
Columbian’s offense ranked second in the NOL last season, but more impressively their defense was first, giving up an average of 13.9 points per game. Senior all-district first teamer, Isiah Moore, will lead the Tornadoes on the defensive line. He will be helped my linebacker returnees Ryan Lynch and Jace Hurt.
Offensively, Lynch will shoulder more of the load, after averaging over six yards per carry last season and finishing with over 500 yards and six touchdowns. Donovan Walker is the frontrunner to move to quarterback and to take over the wildcat role that Jack Jacoby made famous the last two seasons. Walker had four-reception touchdowns and two on the ground on long runs. The offense will look similar to the way that it has in the past couple seasons and if some of the inexperienced players can step in, the Tornadoes just may be able to re-load once again to win their seventh NOL title in the last nine years.
Remember to come back in the near future to check out our Tiffin Calvert preview and some more information, news and interviews about both teams!
