Agreed, Mccort should have won, just had a bad game at  the wrong time. May have been looking ahead to Bellwood in the next round which would have been a bad bracket matchup for those 2 powerhouses while Blairsville and Penns valley had better draws. I disagree.  D6 has 4 powers and on any given ni...

In BG’s defense, they played with “no returning letter winners, no returning starters and coach Mo’s been dealing with chronic back pain for years now . In BG's defense...this is laughable!  So sorry Coach Mo didn't have a dad out sweeping the altoona area trying to get the best girls to enroll int...

On the boys side, I think Ligonier Valley will be tough to beat.  I can see Homer-Center, Purchase Line, West Shamokin, and United  being contenders.  I don't think you will see Saltsburg as they lost too many seniors last year. On the girls, I will have to go with Blairsville.  They very easily cou...

Quick complaint about the PIAA/Giant Center.  They reserve the middle 3 sections on either sideline and charge more to sit there.   So the fans of either team has to sit off to the sides in the corner while the middle sections are empty. Seems wrong to make a state title game and you can't even sit...

I actually like Bishop Carroll's gym.  I'd rank that towards the top of the LHAC. It has a regulation sized gym, it's well lit, and has ample seating.  1. Richland - Gold standard of the conference, having a press box in a gym is ridiculously nice.  2. Forest Hills - I'm just assuming it will be ni...

I like the idea of the higher seed playing home games. It helps bring money into their home programs, because they can generate money from a concession stand. It kind of made me mad going to watch games at Bishop Carroll, where they got to run their concession stand and make money for their program....

What should the PIAA do?  End the game once a 50 point spread is reached? I don't think it needs governed by the PIAA.  There are mercy rules put in place in most sports, so it is a hard thought to propose a different/correct solution, because one can debate the weaker teams just need to get better...

Lady Rangers laid 85 on Hollidaysburg Lady Tigers last night.  35-13 after the FIRST quarter.  School record 15 treys, 7 by soph Carly Stigers.  It could have been really ugly.  Running clock just after the start of the 4th. I get it, but there is something to be said about breaking the 100 barrier...

Does anyone else have a negative thought on Bellwood101?  I mean there are several powerhouse high school teams out there that play weaker teams.  Most coaches understand the nature of these kind of games going into the match up.  Coaches can very easily take time of the clock and still score.  I fi...
