I'm a BG fan who's perfectly okay with the idea of playing up with success. It took 12HankQB awhile to convince me, but now I'm okay with it.
Here's some advice for the schools that want to try to emulate BG's success: Get 33% of the boys in your school to play football. Encourage them to stick it out for 4 years and see if a good coaching staff can't discover and develop some talent. A few kids will drop out, but some previously-basketball only, soccer-only or volleyball only boys will pick up football in senior year to be a part of something special. Success breeds participation.
If more single A schools could boast this level of participation they'd be on BG's heels. Heck, if Altoona High had 1/3 of its boys trying to play football they'd have a summer combine with 250 kids trying out.

Yep, BG has benefited over the past 3 years from 3 Altoona transfers and 1 Huntingdon transfer. Without the two Altoona linemen last year, they probably would have lost to Johnstown and maybe a couple of other games. But they'd still have be a dominant Single A power, and there wouldn't be a bit less griping about their success.

Also if he is playing now its a player who transfered in as a freshmen, not from BGs parachinal schools, who is starting now. Pulling talent from other school districts as a freshmen or a junior is no different.

Just going out on a limb here, but if I had to guess,  you never won anything,  and suffer from little man syndrome,  now that's worth -3!!!

You BG people have me wondering about one thing. Do you let the farts just waft up to your nose, or do you shove a hose up there and do the inhale thing with your mouth?

I'm sure some people in their area did.

How many games has their kicker given them an advantage whether it be long field goals or touchbacks every kickoff? He wasn't "roaming the BG halls" and just decided to play football. I'm sure a local team could have used his success, ask Northern Bedford how they feel about a kid driving 30 minutes out of their district to play for BG. 

And Shane McGregor played Junior high football for BC, but all of the sudden it comes to high school and he is going to Central Cambria.  didn't hear any complaining from the CC fans when they got him.  

That's where McGregor lived. In Central Cambria's school district boundaries. That's totally fine.

Wrong again yb, appears you need to work harder and get some better coaching

He lives in Ebensburg, he elected to go to Central Cambria which is where he stayed his entire career, he didn't switch halfway through after seeing which team was better 

No different than Kephart going to BC, getting plastered on here about transferring, then turning around after realizing BC was about to be really bad and going back to Portage where he proceeded to be a hero .
He decided to play for the better team.  
Oh wait it was only because a teacher was mean to his big brother.

I know one game this year they should have lost w/o said kicker.
