Cleveland Browns 2016 Season Preview Several months from now, high school football teams from across Ohio will square off in state champi- onship games. It takes a lot of talent, hard work, and sometimes, a little luck to get there. Getting there is the goal of every team this time of year. Of course, some know they have a better chance than others of making a championship run, but they all want to be the last team standing. With that thought in mind, we are proud to bring you another season of Forecast Magazine, highlight- ing local high school athletes. Inside, you’ll find in-depth analysis, a host of features and schedules you can use all season long. Once again, you’ll hear the games on AM 930 WEOL and www.weol.com. Plus, look for the inside scoop on the Ohio State University Buckeyes and the Cleveland Browns. And remember…your home for OSU football and basketball is AM 930 WEOL! We are proud to cover and support our local teams and appreciate the assistance of high school athletic directors, coaches and staffs who help us with our outstanding broadcast schedule. And we thank our terrific sponsors who make the games and this magazine possible. Friday night lights? You bet! Craig R.

While it was always a “Team first” mentality for the downhill running back, Thome amassed 978 rushing yards, 444 receiving yards and set school record with 29 touchdowns and 176 points. Along with being named the Medina Gazette MVP, the York Township native was named Division III All-Ohio Second- Team. In the 2016-2017 season, Thome will look to carry the ball with the same gusto at NCAA D-III Mount Union. 2 Fall 2016 Forecast Magazine 2016 Medina County high school football preview Ron Schwane Highland Hornets take the field.

  • Winning an Unfair Game How a Resource-Constrained Player Uses
    WINNING AN UNFAIR GAME: HOW A RESOURCE-CONSTRAINED PLAYER USES BRICOLAGE TO MANEUVER FOR ADVANTAGE IN A HIGHLY INSTITUTIONALIZED FIELD Ted Baker, Timothy G. Pollock and Harry J. Sapienza ABSTRACT In this study we examine how resource-constrained organizations can maneuver for competitive advantage in highly institutionalized fields. Unlike studies of institutional entrepreneurship, we investigate competi- tive maneuvering by an organization that is unable to alter either the regulative or normative institutions that characterize its field. Using the ‘‘Moneyball’’ phenomenon and recent changes in Major League Baseball as the basis for an intensive case study of entrepreneurial actions taken by the Oakland A’s, we found that the A’s were able to maneuver for advantage by using bricolage and refusing to enact baseball’s cognitive institutions, and that they continued succeeding despite ongoing resource Entrepreneurial Resourcefulness: Competing with Constraints Advances in Entrepreneurship, Firm Emergence and Growth, Volume 15, 1–41 Copyright r 2013 by Emerald Group Publishing Limited All rights of reproduction in any form reserved ISSN: 1074-7540/doi:10.1108/S1074-7540(2013)0000015004 1 2 TED BAKER ET AL. constraints and rapid copying of their actions by other teams. These results contribute to our understanding of competitive maneuvering and change in institutionalized fields. Our findings expand the positioning of bricolage beyond its prior characterization as a tool used primarily by peripheral organizations in less institutionalized fields; our study suggests that bricolage may aid resource constrained participants (including the majority of entrepreneurial firms) to survive in a wider range of circumstances than previously believed. Keywords: Bricolage; Major League Baseball; institutionalized fields; resource-constraints; competitive advantage Images of institutionalized organizational fields evoke expectations of stability and behavioral constraint structured by rules, accepted ways of doing things, and common ways of looking at the world.
