The Bishop Guilfoyle boys and Bellwood-Antis girls are possible candidates to reclassify from AA to AAA under the new competitive balance rule.

Competitive balance is a riot. Competitive balance would put the privates and charters against each other in their own league.

Anyone see the boy's AAAAA all-state basketball team just released a few days ago? Archbishop Wood had 4 players make the 3 teams. One on the 1st team, two on the 2nd team and one on the third team. And in AAAAAA, Roman Catholic had 3 players make the teams. Let's hear it for competitive balance.

Well Philadelphia is one of the top basketball cities in the country, I don’t think it’s unusual that the best teams in Philadelphia have more than one good player.

Well I think it's highly UNUSUAL for one team to have 4 out of 5 starters on an all-state team. Guess the school probably has great facilities. Couldn't be like the team was stacked or anything.

Not so much for small businesses. But I guess if we blindly follow and blindly believe everything our government officials feed us, then sure, it's a great thing to see failing businesses, failing livelihoods, failing careers - all for a virus that has a 1% mortality rate. I fully support those businesses that choose to defy Wolf's order, and I support the choice of those people who choose to remain sheltered in place and not support those businesses.

I’ve been OK with Applebee’s not being open for a few weeks if it saves some lives. It sucks for small businesses, it sucks for me and people in my line of work too, I’ve been directly affected.

But I don’t understand how other countries have done a better job of at least containing it before going back to ‘semi-normal’ and we as a country don’t really have a good plan in place to re-open. I just fear the second wave is going to suck.
