AA with Bedford and Heights both still being alive. I'd be willing to bet not a single person would have had that at the beginning of the year.

AA- Heights bolted from LHAC and was never real competitive there in Football, now comes back with undefeated team and takes out Richland.

Bedford- had kids transfer out that were or would be starters and had to replace last year's starting QB who didn't play this year. I don't think many had them having a winning record let alone beating Steelton and making the final 8. Coach Steele and his staff have done an impressive job this year.

A- BG is gonna have a tough time beating the westinghouse team.

AAA- PC and Hickory? I'd have to think PC has a pretty good chance. ??

I’ll take State high, Hollidaysburg, and BG to advance. PC I think has a good shot but I think they lose a tight one. Hopefully I’m wrong and all area teams rip it up

In the bigger schools I’ll take CC. Don’t see that one being real close. I’ll also take Hollidaysburg.

I don’t think clearfield has much of a chance against TJ. 4a in wpial is a gauntlet, much tougher than LHAC. Clearfield is good, but not TJ good

I think PC has a decent shot of winning their game. Might be one of the few local teams that has a chance of winning. I’ve been impressed with PC all year.

No clue on Bedford, I didn’t see them winning their last game. I don’t know annything about Troy.

Heights has no chance. It’ll be ugly by the end of the first quarter. They’ve played nobody all year.

I hate to count out BG because they’re always a tough out but I don’t see it going well for them. They beat juniata valley 49-0, windber beat JV 42-7, pretty similar scores against a common opponent. Windber looked like a JV team last week against Westinghouse and lost 61-6

Due to impending weather conditions, or political influence?

I'd say BG State College and PC have the best shots at winning. If Clearfield can get more out of the passing game then they have a shot. TJ will limit Collins. Bedfords gonna need to hold on for dear life. Troy has only scored less than 50 twice this year.
