School Picture Day At Glenville Elementary
Have to be careful what clothes your kid wears to school in Ohio on picture day. This is the class picture from Glenville Elementary school. What the photo doesn't show is 5 minutes after the picture was taken, the little Michigan fan was hit in the head with a beer bottle thrown by the principal then spit on by the lunch lady.

Glenville to eight.
CLEVELAND - The U.S. Army All-American Bowl selection tour made a stop at its home away from home Thursday, Glenville High School in Cleveland, to present Christian Bryant and Latwan Anderson with their jerseys for the prestigious high school All-American game on January 9 in San Antonio, Texas.
With Bryant and Anderson on board, Glenville has had eight players selected for the U.S. Army All-American Bowl. In the Army Bowl's 10-year history, the seven visits to Glenville by the selection tour is the "most to any high school in America," according to SFC Michael Rayman, the master of Thursday's ceremony.
...
Though Glenville is no stranger to sending their best to San Antonio, they are a stranger to what lies ahead this Saturday. The Tarblooders will play in their first OHSAA Division 1 state championship game on Saturday night against Hilliard Davidson.
"This game is history, we made history last week by beating Massillon and making the state championship game," Bryant said. "Without a win, we are just another team that entered the state playoffs."

Success of Glenville football team a welcome boost to the community

The Monday after Glenville's heart-wrenching loss to St. Ignatius in the high school football season opener in late August, junior Shane Wynn, one of the smaller but speedier players on the team, swung by Principal Jackie Bell's office to chat.
Wynn was a little down, so she tried to encourage him. Bell told him she was proud of how hard the team played, despite the loss.
"Yeah," Wynn said, "but Mrs. Bell, we're not losing anymore. So you may as well get ready for state."
Fourteen weeks and 13 straight victories later, Wynn and the rest of the Tarblooders have reached Saturday's Division I state football final, becoming the first Cleveland public school ever to play for a title in any division.
And Glenville, a neighborhood on the city's East Side where decades of poverty have long eroded more than just the landscape, is ready.
Not that it's visible on the street. Glenville isn't small-town demonstrative. There is no shower of "Go Tarblooders!" yard signs. No Glenville rally cries on shop marquees and in store windows. Not even lights on the football field. The team practiced this week under the glow of donated construction lights.
But with football pushing back hopelessness like a blocking sled, the pulse of something big is pounding. Something bigger than football.
"The neighborhood's known for drugs, you know that," said Dan Wiggins, a '71 Glenville graduate who planned to attend the title game Saturday at 7 p.m. at Canton's Fawcett Stadium against Hilliard Davidson. It will be his first game of the season.
"[The game] means a lot to me. It means a lot to the neighborhood. Look what it's done for the kids," said Wiggins, a University Hospitals tech foreman. "This is like the Super Bowl. Everybody's talking about it. Guys who didn't even go to Glenville are rooting for Glenville."
"This," said Dave Ali, a '70 Glenville graduate and neighborhood business owner, "should be a citywide celebration."

Wow! I'm suprised at the no call on the late hit on the Glenville QB at the end of the first half.
