Re: Football Scheduling High School

It’s not as simple as comparing 2007 to now. The thing that you are forgetting is the switch to 6 classifications. You are correct that the 2007 team played a tough regular season and entered the playoffs with 5 wins and won a district title. But would that same 5 win team have won AA if the current...

Re: PIAA Classification Craziness....Coming Soon!

Nice job on the record correction. I was off by 1 loss, or maybe I was just a few days early. But you’re missing my point. No district champion should only have to play 1 game against a team with 2 wins to claim they’re district champs……And then complain because there may be a rule change that might...

Re: PIAA Classification Craziness....Coming Soon!

I feel terrible for the small schools in small districts that go 6-4 in the regular season and only have to beat one other team that is 2-8 to win a district title. It really sucks for them to maybe now have to play another team with a possible winning record

Re: Ligonier Valley - Bellwood Antis

Props to Bellwood on a good season, but it's over.  Just glad that the game is at LV Yes, because LV has such top notch facilities.  Get some bleachers and play clocks, plant some grass, then you can be glad to host a playoff game.  Hope it doesn't rain much this week, LV is probably out of sawdust...

Re: Berlin vs the top 4 AA teams from D6

Not sure but....5 and 6 AA are both terrific at the top.  6AA might have three of the best seven teams in the state at AA.  Not sure which of the 4 semi-finalists your are leaving out, but I believe state rankings say all 4 are in the top 10.  It's a shame that 2 weeks from now, only 1 will still b...

Congrats! Did they have a parade with fire truck escorts?  Claysburg had one a few years ago when their 8th graders went undefeated.

Re: Baseball Scores: May 6 - May 11

Beautiful day, FH @ HC pp'd.  ??? Since the game was to be at HC, they most likely made the call to postpone.  They are in a tight race for playoff seeding in AA.  Don't think it's too far fetched to think they didn't want to take a chance of losing a non-conference game and dropping in the standin...

Re: LHAC Baseball

There was this one time in little league, I had an inside-the-park home run on a bunt to the 3rd baseman.
