These past few weeks have been hectic as I've been scheduling for my last semester at Tiffin University and the Calvert High School football team has made the playoffs. Preparing for the playoffs through the OHSAA is something that I'm glad I get to experience. One thing I have learned is that the time spent in between sports as a little bit of a down time for the AD is lost if the team makes playoffs, this time is crucial is some aspects of "catching up" on things that you are behind on. It's truly though all about the kids and them making playoffs is huge for the school and getting the Calvert name out there as a possible powerhouse in football. Much is required from the OHSAA for the playoff games such as a picture of the team, the roster, the starting lineup, head and assistant coaches names, and the cheerleaders. For the playoff game to run smoothly and it to be a great experience for both coming schools this information must be sent in as soon as possible for the programs.
Calvert High School football team won round one of their playoffs! I get to experience this all again as the same process is needed for the second round. Preparing documents and getting everything ready for the OHSAA is a process, but it's a process that needs time to be put into it for everything to be correct. It's all about the experience these kids have and for them to remember it for their entire life.
Even though all of this playoff football is going on, bills still had to be paid. That's one thing you can't let yourself get backed up on. Early in the week, preferably Monday, is the time to get them off your chest so the rest of the week can be focused elsewhere. It's not cheap to have a football game as security is needed, refs, and a medic on hand. None of this stuff comes cheap. The athletic department must be ran smooth and error free for everyone to be happy. One thing goes wrong
