    Nothing Minor About It the American Association/AFL of 1936-50

    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 12, No. 2 (1990) Nothing minor about it The American Association/AFL of 1936-50 By Bob Gill Try as I might, I can’t seem to mention the era before World War II without calling it “the heyday of pro football’s minor leagues.” But it’s not just an idle comment. In the 1930s several flourishing regional “circuits” of independent teams coalesced into outstanding minor leagues. From today’s perspective, one of the least likely locales for such a circuit was the New York-New Jersey area, where fans had the New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers to satisfy their hunger for pro football. Despite that, the area produced the best of all the pre-war minor leagues: the American Association (soon to be immortalized in another best-selling PFRA publication). The AA was formed in June 1936, in response to a proposal by Edwin (Piggy) Simandl, manager of the Orange Tornadoes. Charter members were Brooklyn, Mt. Vernon, New Rochelle, Orange, Passaic, Paterson, Staten Island and White Plains. Several of these cities had been represented in two earlier leagues, the 1932 Eastern League and the 1933 Interstate League, both of which failed after a single season. However, those leagues didn’t have Joe Rosentover as president. Despite the early demise of his own Passaic club, Rosentover remained at the helm of the league for its whole existence. The AA’s first season was somewhat like that of its main rival, the Dixie League, which also opened for business in 1936. No team established any clear superiority, and at the end of November Rosentover announced a playoff series matching the top four teams, two each from what the newspapers sometimes called the New York group and the New Jersey group.

    Nordonia football stuns Tigers by Steve Batko | Correspondent ~ Twinsburg Bulletin First-year Nordonia football coach Jeff Fox had nothing to say about himself after his squad after a 36-12 win over rival Twinsburg in the third annual Bob Evans Backyard Brawl Aug. 31 at Twinsburg Tiger Stadium. But Fox had plenty to say about his team. "This is not about me," said Fox. "I think this is a huge win for the program, and for these kids," he stressed. "Twinsburg is a big cross-town rival and our kids battled." Twinsburg, which lost 28 seniors to graduation, moved to 0-2 as this was their first game since All-Ohio back John Barton had a season-ending knee injury. Costly turnovers, mistakes and penalties riddled the Tigers. Nordonia (1-1) came in hungry after a heartbreaking one-point overtime loss to Mayfield. "We just did not execute in all phases of the game," said Twinsburg coach Joe Schiavone. "This is a good football team, but we have to become a better team and stop shooting ourselves in the foot." Leading 19-6 at halftime, the Knights had many big plays on offense and cashed in two Tiger turnovers into 13 points. Twinsburg senior free safety Cooper Rea had an interception on the first play of the game. After new Tiger tailback Tyrone McGuinea just broke two tackles to convert a first down on fourth-and-1, senior Jalen Washington passed to Mike Peelman to move Twinsburg to the Knight 1-yard line. However, the play was called back due to a holding penalty, The Tigers' next possession saw a Washington pass get tipped and Nordonia senior Ben Halkowski grabbed the loose ball.
