District 6 A.

I do think McCort is the 2nd best team, but Clymer isn't exactly the easiest place to win. That'll be 16 vs. 11 football there.

[Blueandwhitelion]

Don't sell PM short they have a good ball club. They are fast and have a good QB I think they will get by BM. It will be a home game for PM and that is a big advantage for PM.

I agree man, Ferens isn't all that bad, but I did see a Heritage game this weekend, and even on a down year the LHAC is still much much better football. Leave the Catholic school debate aside, But McCort has only played 1 other A team this year. They play an all AA schedule and a AAA schedule. Trade McCort and Penns Manor conferences and schedules....Then tell me if you think Penns Manor would be 5-3 right now. Tell me if they would have been toe to toe with AAA Johnstown, tell me would they have gone on the road to beat BC by 2 TD's. Tell me they would have beaten Richland and even Bedford for that matter. Who would have beat McCort in the Heritage this year? In all honest, not sounding arrogant, I'm speaking in complete non bias just a fan of football. That's what I am. And if you can honestly say Penns Manor would have done what McCort did in the LHAC, and McCort wouldn't have done what Penns Manor is doing in the Heritage, then I'll believe they are a good football team. But my belief, Penns Manor is a 3-5 team in the LHAC, and McCort is likely undefeated or 1 loss in the Heritage. Not biased, just after seeing teams from both conferences compete.

[costanza]

yes, you are biased--so don't add the disclaimer. pm would be better than 3-5 in the LHAC, and maybe mccort would be close to what PM is in the Heritage this year. but that is hard to say. all i read on here is how down the LH is this year, but now all of a sudden the top heritage team wouldn't do anything in that conference. it will all come down to match-ups in the playoffs, so there isn't much reason to speculate. portage went to the title game a few years back from their "weak" conference, so it really boils down to momentum and match ups.

[Crimson09Crazy]

No i'm not. I could care less if Penns Manor was good or not in the LHAC, in my honest opinion, they would hang right around .500 likely 4-5.


Where are their wins against these teams?
Bishop Carroll
Penn Cambria
Central Cambria
Forest Hills
Johnstown
Bishop McCort
Richland
They'd struggle with Bedford and Heights
They should beat Guilfoyle,Westmont, and Somerset


Realistically, the West Pac is the worst conference in the State, no disrespect its near a fact.
How much better is the Heritage?

[costanza]

this year, they would lose to johnstown, fh, maybe carroll and mccort. that may be determined in a few weeks. they have more speed than the cambrias, and with richland it is toss up because of their offense, but i don't know much about richland's def.

[jack daniel]

well im sticking to my preseason prediction that for the 2nd straight year we'll see mccort vs bellwood at mansion, and basically for the third straight year its the d6 title game just in 2008 it was played at the point in the semi-finals

The district will assign the refs for playoffs so no need to worry about that for the playoffs.

As much as I hate to agree with crimson he is right. Penns Manor is not that good that they would replicate what they have done in the heritage to the LHAC. I'd have them with 2 wins. and two maybes in that conference. so 2-7 or 4-5 on a good note.

Ferens is doing decent, but it's all relative to the competition.

The wing T teams, other than mccort, have been stopped a a game or two short of winning the D6 championship. Portage and Penns Manor have come up short of the championship. Think of Bellwood, McCort the last few years. I'm sure sponsky will have BC ready as well for Penns Manor. They did a decent job on McCort.

[Crimson09Crazy]

Hate to agree with me? haha come on!

But yeah thats what I'm saying, the best teams they beat were Ligonier and United. It's hard to say what they would do against the LAHC, but on past history the LHAC middle of the pack teams usuallt are better then Heritage teams. It's not a knock and it isn't biased, its pretty much fact.


I just think a team like Cambria Heights who can't win a game in the LHAC, would do alright in the Heritage. Vescovi is a top player in this district and has thrown for 2000 plus this year, he would get some wins in that league. Nobody over there throws. I went to the Ligonier-United game, i'm not basing any facts off of nothing....I've seen them play. And i talked with two big United fans and they said "you'll be lucky to see us throw more than 5 times" and the LV fans were griping at the coach because he threw the ball a lot more out of character. Thats a running league guys. LHAC teams tend to have some balance and better athletes. Just my thought.....


Ligonier was A 3 years ago and went 9-0. First game of the playoffs they played Bellwood and got smacked.
LV will have to play a MAC or LHAC team in the first round this year for AA, I'd be shocked if they got beat by less then 20.

[Crimson09Crazy]

again with Ferens, you're right its all relative to who you play.

He's a good runner and has 388 yards and 9 scores and has thrown for 472 yards.

McCort just played Simon 2 weeks ago, held a kid that has 1330 yards passing to only 123 yards. Pretty good if I say so myself.

Also Simon has put 442 yards rushing, he had 98 on McCort on 14 carries. Take away his 80 yard run, thats 18 yards on 13 carries. Thats also a good job, Simon is legit and is better then Ferens.
