Mike Hartline (OC Ohio Dominican)

[devily_buck]

On the Wisconsin scout board, Chris Pool writes that he believes Mike Hartline will eventually be switched from QB to Tight End at the college level...

Hasn't one of the biggest knocks on Hartline's present recruitment been his weight? Does Pool honestly think that Hartline is going to put on 80 pounds in the next year to become a tight end next year?

It's kind of amusing to watch Pool and all of his clueless Wisconsin followers attempt to discuss Hartline's recruitment.

Their two stars, Mike Hartline and Ryan Palmer, mirrored their team's effort. Palmer struggled early against a tremendous front four but seemed to catch his stride and finished very well. Palmer, one of the top offensive linemen in the state, is stronger physically than last year and is in better condition. Hartline, ranked as the number two quarterback by Ohio High, made some questionable decisions early and suffered some dropped passes. But he also threw the ball really well in spots and showed nice athleticism in escaping the Ignatius pass rush, which was relentless all evening. Junior running back Kevin Pratt showed excellent speed and cutting ability and was a solid performer.

St. Ignatius was clearly the best team I saw today and seemed to be in mid-season form. Behind an excellent offensive line, quarterback Rudy Kirbus was quite effective throwing the football. Kirbus, ranked as one of the top five quarterbacks in Ohio, is fundamentally sound and seems to have improved his arm strength over last season. On the receiving end of many of those passes was split end Robby Parris. Parris, ranked as the No. 27 prospect in Ohio by Duane Long of Ohio High, has verbally committed to play football at Notre Dame. Parris combines great hands with great leaping ability to be a difference maker.

The St. Ignatius front four was easily the best group I saw today. These seniors totally stopped the run game of GlenOak and pressured Mike Hartline relentlessly. Marty Kern was a player I didn't know much about, but I know about him now. Kern (6-0, 260) lined up across from Ryan Palmer and played Palmer tough all night long. Brian Neff (6-3, 230) played with a high motor and made a lot of plays.

Defensive end Reilly Lauer (6-7, 230) used his long arms and quick feet to harass Hartline all night. Lauer, the No. 79 ranked player at Ohio High, is a player to watch as he adds weight and gets more reps at his position. Lauer has tremendous upside and should be a division I recruit.

The best player I saw today was John Ryan, who played both ways as a tight end and defensive end. He made tough catches on offense and dominated the line of scrimmage on defense. Ryan is headed to Notre Dame, and the Fighting Irish are getting a great player. Ryan, (6-5, 240) is ranked as the No. 20 prospect in Ohio, and that might be too low. He can come off the edge with the best of them and plays the run like a pit bull. Ryan shows great intensity, strength and determination. He is a great football player.

St. Ignatius, coached by legendary Chuck Kyle, appears to be a team that can win a state title. This team has speed, size, senior leadership and of course the coaching of Chuck Kyle. If you want to score on this team, you better find a way to block this front four.

Next, I made it to Fawcett Stadium to see the last portion of GlenOak and Revere. GlenOak's Mike Hartline was held out of action by head coach Jack Rose, but there is no serious injury.

"Coach wanted to see a couple other players and my arm is a little sore," said Hartline. "I would have played today if it counted. I'll be fine."

What we coach Rose's thoughts of Mike's performance against St. Ignatius on Tuesday?

"I thought Mike played pretty well," said Rose. "He was 8 out of 15 for 153 yards. He made one bad read and threw one bad pass, but other than that he was good. We also dropped five passes that could have been caught. Mike will be fine."

Another Golden Eagle to watch out for in the future is freshman tight end Matt Rose, son of head coach Jack. Rose is 6-2, 215 pounds, and appears to have a bright future. If he can mirror the work habits of former Golden Eagle greats Dustin Fox and Brian Hartline, he'll be a good one at GlenOak.

Mike Hartline and Ryan Palmer....

Mike is starting to get bigger already. I think he is going to make a team very happy in a couple of years.

GLENOAK SENIOR EAGER, ABLE TO MAKE BIG PLAYS

Hartline most complete quarterback Rose has coached

By Michael Beaven

Beacon Journal sports writer


GlenOak coach Jack Rose is eagerly anticipating the opportunity to watch senior quarterback Mike Hartline play his final high school season.

``Mike can make about every throw,'' Rose said. ``He can throw deep, he can throw short and he can throw the intermediate pass.

``He can deliver a pass with some heat and he can also pass with some touch. I have never had a quarterback that can make all the throws.''

Hartline, 17, loves it when he hits a receiver in stride for a big gain.

``I like the precision when I can throw the ball downfield and the receiver has run a perfect route,'' Hartline said.

Rose also enjoys watching Hartline flash his speed and quickness to keep a play alive.

``Mike is one of those guys that doesn't come along very often,'' Rose said.

Hartline, 6-foot-5, 185 pounds, loves the chance to make plays on the run with defenders hot in pursuit.

``I like it when things break down, too,'' Hartline said. ``I like to get the chance to scramble, make a throw and shock someone. I get to use my arms and feet and make a play.''

Mike Hartline is the latest successful athlete from the family. Brian Hartline, 18, was a standout in football and track and field at GlenOak. Brian, 6-foot-2, 185 pounds, is on a football scholarship at Ohio State as a wide receiver.

The Hartline brothers are similar athletes, but they have differences.

``They are probably 180 degrees different in terms of demeanor,'' Rose said. ``Mike is more reserved, and Brian is more outgoing. They are both very gifted kids that are very competitive.

``They want to win and be good players. They are willing to work hard to make themselves better.''

Brian was the starting quarterback in 2003, until the third game when Rose made a change at halftime. With GlenOak trailing Austintown Fitch 20-0, Mike replaced Brian at quarterback in the second half. Brian moved to wide receiver, and GlenOak rallied, but lost the game 28-20.

The change became permanent, as the Hartlines formed a dangerous combination for opponents. GlenOak finished the season 6-4 overall.

The expectations were high last fall entering the season. Brian then sustained a broken leg during the second quarter of the first game of the season against Central-Hower. He was forced to sit out the remainder of the football season and rehabilitate the leg.

The injury was a huge blow for the GlenOak football team and was particularly hard in the Hartline household.

``It was a huge hit to our team,'' Mike said. ``Brian was one of the best players in the county. It was a shame we had to lose him for the entire season, but you have to move on.''

GlenOak did and posted an 8-4 record, 5-2 in the Federal League. GlenOak recorded the first win in a playoff game in school history, winning 25-7 over Toledo St. Francis DeSales, which was ranked No. 1 in that region. GlenOak lost to league rival Canton McKinley in the regular season and in the state playoffs.

``There was about a three- or four-week hangover after Brian's injury,'' Rose said. ``It's a credit to our seniors (of last year) that we won seven games and made the playoffs.''

The Hartline brothers were disappointed that they would not have the opportunity to play together again.

``I was anticipating having his athletic ability to throw to,'' Mike said. ``We thought we would be unstoppable together, that no one could stop us. It was tragic, but at the same time it was all worthwhile.''

Mike Hartline watched as his older brother rehabbed an injury and came out an improved athlete. Mike said Brian gave numerous hours to working out and conditioning his legs by way of various methods, including swimming.

The results were excellent in the spring, when Brian Hartline won two Division I state track championships -- the 110-meter hurdles (14.09) and 300 hurdles (36.69).

Mike Hartline also runs both hurdles, does the high jump and is a member of the 1,600-meter relay team. A foot injury hindered his performance as a junior.

Mike is confident that GlenOak will have another fine football season.

``We want to get even deeper in the playoffs and represent our community and school,'' Hartline said.

Mike is being recruited by Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan State, Kentucky and Cincinnati. He is hopeful that Ohio State, Notre Dame and Michigan will give him more consideration.

``I am in no rush to make a decision (about college),'' he said. ``I want the best fit... I will go to the best possible situation for me.''

GLENOAK GOLDEN EAGLES

<!-- begin body-content -->
• Coach: Jack Rose, seventh season.

• Coach's record: 124-59 (Massillon for six years).

• 2004 record: 8-4, 5-2 in the Federal League.

• Returning starters: Offense, five; defense, five.

• Top seniors: Mike Hartline, QB; Ryan Palmer, OG; Brian McNew, WR; Dave DeAmarco, SS; TyShawn Brown, WR-CB; Alex Robins, CB.

• Promising prospects: Kevin Pratt, Jr., RB; Pat Robins, Jr., ILB; Mike Torence, Jr., ILB.

• Style of play: Opposing defenses will see a lot of Mike Hartline. The Golden Eagles will primarily use the shotgun and spread the ball to utilize Hartline's ability. On defense, GlenOak will come after opponents out of a 50-eagle formation and blitz plenty.

• Outlook: Hartline (185-for-331, 2,355 yards and 16 touchdowns) can make every throw and will be looked upon to do so. He also can run (98 attempts, 396 rushing yards and eight touchdowns) when plays break down. Rose believes the quarterback has matured and is ready to lead the offense. McNew returns as the top receiver after catching 36 passes for around 500 yards. The key will be handling the loss of four All-Ohio defensive players. New inside linebackers (Robins and Torence) will need to play well for the GlenOak defense to succeed overall.

Welcome to opening day … er opening night!!

There will be a smattering of high school football games across the state this evening with most of the state’s 700-plus football playing schools getting into action Friday and Saturday.

For the third year in a row, we will be presenting the Ohio High’s Man of the Year award in football. The inaugural winner in 2003 was Cleveland Glenville’s Ted Ginn Jr., now at Ohio State. The 2004 winner, Akron Hoban’s Tyrell Sutton, now at Northwestern, ended his career as the leading rusher in Ohio prep history.

Who will step forward to win Ohio High’s Man of the Year award as well as the Mr. Football award, presented annually by The Associated Press?

We have a worthy list of candidates to keep an eye on. Here we go:

* Chris Wells, RB, Akron Garfield – The 6-2, 225-pound Wells rushed for 1,939 yards and scored 20 TDs as a junior. He is rated as Ohio High’s top prospect in the state and is considered one of the nation’s top five prospects overall by Scout.com. This Ohio State verbal says his goal is 3,000 yards. If he gets there, Garfield would be a certain playoff contender and Wells would likely have made his case.

* Rudy Kirbus, QB, Cleveland St. Ignatius – The 6-4, 200-pound Kirbus will have every opportunity to shine, piloting what could end up being the state’s best Division I team. He threw for 1,437 yards and 18 TDs last year. And he’ll be throwing to Notre Dame verbal (and longtime target) Robby Parris.

* Mike McGee, QB, Columbus Brookhaven – The 6-1, 190-pound McGee was the driving force behind Brookhaven’s Division II state championship team with 1,902 yards passing and 22 TDs. If Brookhaven succeeds in jump up to Division I, McGee could get a serious look.

* Jahmal Brown, RB, Cleveland Benedictine – The 5-10, 190-pound Brown rushed for 1,894 yards and scored 21 TDs in helping lead Benedictine to the Division III state title.

* Miles Schlichter, QB, Washington C.H. Miami Trace – The 6-1, 210-pound Schlichter led Trace to a 10-0 regular season in 2004. He threw for 1,790 yards and 19 TDs and also rushed for 620 yards and four scores a year ago.

* Nate Davis, QB, Bellaire – The 6-3, 220-pound Davis threw for over 2,000 yards and 26 TDs in 2004. If Bellaire can again advance to the playoffs, Davis may be a name to keep in mind for postseason honors.

* Mike Hartline, QB, Canton GlenOak – The 6-5, 190-pound Hartline threw for 2,400 yards and 16 TDs in 2004. If he can cut down on 18 interceptions and if GlenOak can solve crosstown rival Canton McKinley and go deep in the playoffs, Hartline might be a strong awards candidate.

* Connor Smith, OL, Cincinnati Colerain – Awards like this rarely go to linemen. They just don’t have those appealing stats. But the 6-5, 295-pound Smith is considered one of the nation’s top 25 college prospects. He has already verbaled to Ohio State.

* Kurt Coleman, CB, Clayton Northmont – The 5-11, 190-pound Coleman came up big for Northmont last year with 91 tackles and 10 interceptions. If he can lead Northmont to the playoffs, Coleman would have to be an awards candidate. He has already verbaled to Ohio State.

* Ross Homan, RB-LB, Coldwater – Homan had over 140 tackles for Coldwater’s No. 1-ranked Division IV team. He also is a standout in the backfield. He has already verbaled to Ohio State.

* Devon Torrence, junior, RB-DB, Canton South – The 6-1, 180-pound Torrence is the state’s top-rated junior and may be that class’ best chance to steal the award away from the seniors. He rushed for over 1,000 yards and scored 20 touchdowns last year as a sophomore.





* Anthony Elzy, RB, Warren JFK – Elzy rushed for over 2,500 yards a year ago at JFK.

* Delone Carter, RB, Copley – Carter was in the 2,000-yard range last year for Copley.

Preseason Predictions

OK, with the games starting tonight, I will share my state championship picks and a dark horse in each division. Here goes:

Division I – Cleveland St. Ignatius gets a record 10<SUP>th</SUP> title, defeating Columbus Brookhaven in the title game. Cincinnati Moeller, which hasn’t been to the state final four since 1997, is my dark horse.

Division II – Dublin Scioto drops down from D-I. I like Scioto to down Avon Lake in the title game. My dark horse is Springboro with a ton of seniors.

Division III – Until somebody beats Cleveland Benedictine, this is their division. They go for three in a row and I think they beat Columbus DeSales to get it. My others to watch would be a toss-up between Cuyahoga Falls Walsh Jesuit and Mentor Lake Catholic.

Division IV – I like Coldwater to finally break through and win the state title, beating Youngstown Ursuline in the title game. My dark horse would be Bellaire – provided it can get past nearby Martins Ferry (finally).

Division V – It would be foolish to bet against St. Henry and Versailles, right? St. Henry hosts Versailles in the game of the year in this division on Oct. 21. St. Henry is the defending champ, but Versailles drops down from D-IV where it was the runner-up last year. I’ll take Versailles for the title. Hamler Patrick Henry is another one to watch.

Division VI – Defending champ Dola Hardin Northern is again the pick, but look out for D-V dropouts Delphos St. John’s and Liberty Center.

Good luck to your team in 2005 and he’s hoping they go all the way!

Interesting that Conner Smith was on the JJH Man of the year list and not Aaron Brown.

Mike's brother, Brian attended the Glen Oak, Hudson game this evening.
Mile's best series of the night was his first. After that, the Hudson front seven pretty much swarmed to him.

A lot of the passing yards were YAC on screen passes of different sorts.. I didn't see much in the way of either arm strength or touch, A lot of balls were dropped and he was running for his life quite a bit. A sure TD pass late in the third quarter was bobbled into hands of a Hudson DB for an Int,

Early in the Fourth Mike threw another int with no one to blame. Several balls were overthrown to wide open receivers running post and fly routes. another big chunk of yardage was picked up on underthrown ball that a wide open receiver cameback for while the DB ran by.
Hartline was 15-34 0 TD 2 INT 220 total yards 207 net

GlenOak, Garfield hope to avoid 0-2 start

Someone won't, however, as Golden Eagles, Rams set to battle each other on Saturday

[SIZE=-1]By David Lee Morgan Jr.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1]Beacon Journal sports writer[/SIZE]

<!-- begin body-content -->
As GlenOak and Garfield prepare for Saturday's matchup at Fawcett Stadium, both teams feel they have something to prove.
The two teams lost their season-openers last week (Hoban defeated Garfield 21-7, and Hudson beat GlenOak 28-7), and neither wants to start out the season 0-2.

But someone will.

As for the status of Garfield senior running back Chris Wells? He's probable for the game. It was reported that Wells suffered a minor stress fracture in the Hoban game but Garfield coach Bob Sax said he had no knowledge of that and expects Wells to be ready to go against GlenOak.

Some would argue that Hoban's defeat of Garfield last week was surprising.
First, the Knights went into the game not knowing how their running attack would fare, now that former Mr. Football in Ohio for 2004 (Tyrell Sutton) has gone off to Northwestern.

Secondly, the Rams have Wells, an Ohio State recruit who rushed for more than 1,900 yards and 20 touchdowns last season.

Well, Hoban sophomore running back Steve Yoak rushed for a career-high 120 yards in his first varsity start and the Knights limited Wells to just a few big runs and he finished with 105 yards an no touchdowns.

``We watched the Hoban game film and we noticed that their defense isn't very big but they are quick,'' Golden Eagles coach Jack Rose said. ``We have a young defense so we really stressed to our guys that we have to do what Hoban did. We have to get a lot of people around (Wells.)

``You're not going to stop him, but you can try to contain him and that's what we need to do.''

Rose also feels his offense needs to be more consistent this week. The inconsistency against Hudson, he said, was disappointing.

``We'll have to play a lot better because this is a typical Garfield team,'' Rose said. ``They are quick and physical, they play hard and they'll be up for the challenge.''

Last week, the Rams were the top-ranked team in the first Beacon Journal top-20 poll of the season, but after the loss, they dropped to No. 6.
Sax knows his offense needs to make adjustments and the unit can't be one-dimensional.

``Over the weekend, as a staff, our main goal was to see who we could put in this week to get practice reps,'' Sax said. ``We need to be able to play more guys because (Hoban) wore us down in the second half. Right now, we just don't have the depth.

``Plus, we have to do a better job inside the red zone. We had the ball five times in the red zone (inside the 20) and only scored once. And on defense, we'll have to do a good job with our pass defense because GlenOak will spread the offense and throw 75 percent of the time. We have to try to keep their offense off the field.''

GlenOak 41, Garfield 40

Gamble smells like a Rose

Two-point conversion in overtime lifts Eagles over Rams in a thriller

[SIZE=-1]By Darnell Mayberry[/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1]Beacon Journal sports writer[/SIZE]

<!-- begin body-content -->CANTON - It takes guts, courage and a little insanity for a coach to do what Jack Rose did Saturday night.

Instead of kicking an extra point to tie, the GlenOak coach decided to go for the game-winning 2-point conversion.

His fearless call paid off as GlenOak quarterback Mike Hartline ran in the game-winner from the 3-yard line to give GlenOak a 41-40 overtime win over Garfield.

The GlenOak crowd erupted in pure jubilation on their side of Fawcett Stadium. The Garfield side quietly left, heads hung low, crushed by a missed opportunity the Rams had slip from their grasp.

``I didn't know if we could get them stopped,'' Rose said of his reasoning behind attempting a two-point conversion. ``Their back was running pretty well. We scored pretty quick on them. I thought we might have them reeling.''

The back Rose is speaking of is Garfield's Chris Wells, who only seconds earlier scrambled for an 18-yard touchdown run to give the Rams a 40-33 lead in overtime. Wells, an Ohio State recruit, finished with 263 yards and five touchdowns on 25 carries, so it's no wonder Rose didn't want the ball back in his hands.

Rose's decision held even greater significance, since both teams lost their season openers last week and didn't want to fall to 0-2. Unfortunately for the Rams, who have another tough opponent next week in Green, that's where their record now stands.

``It was a big win for us,'' Rose said. ``We've got a young team and they're getting better every week. But to start the season 0-2, that's tough, especially in the league we're in.''

Hartline stole the show from Wells and Garfield kicker Adam Guilmette, who nailed a 40-yard field goal as time expired in regulation.

``A lot of credit has to go to my kicker,'' Garfield coach Bob Sax said. ``We wouldn't even have been in that position.''

But Hartline, a senior, came out poised and ready to lead the Golden Eagles to their first win of the season. He scrambled for a 12-yard run to set up the game-winning conversion. Before that, he led his team down the field to take a 33-30 lead with 1:32 remaining in regulation. He finished the night completing 15-of-21 passes for 155 yards and added another 103 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 15 carries.

He might have been the most shocked of all at his coach's call.

``I was a bit surprised, but at the same time, I knew I was going to give it my all like any other play,'' he said. ``I just ran as hard as I could to get it in the end zone.''

The Golden Eagles showed resiliency all game, battling back from a 17-6 halftime deficit. They responded by outscoring the Rams 27-16 to force overtime.

``I told the kids it's a character check at halftime,'' Rose said. ``We're going to find out what kind of football team we're going to have this year.''
None of his players showed more character than he did.

By Jeremy Crabtree...Mike watched the OSU, Wisconsin and Illinois games on TV this weekend. Kentucky and Illinois have been calling recently. His favorites are Wisconsin, Michigan State, Illinois and Kentucky.
