Sorry youngbuck. Excuse me for responding to the topic (District 5 AA Champs= Losing Record) with a comment about how to increase AA representation in District 5. I should have known that when you started this thread, you wanted everyone to talk about District 6 Single A.

As hoganddog pointed out, if District 6 wants to reduce its number of AA schools by one, the easy answer is to let Somerset go back to District 5, which is it's "Home District" based on geography. Somerset has been in District 6 for many years because it was always AAA. Now that it is AA, ...

Graduation numbers are different from the PIAA classification numbers. PIAA looks at students of a specific gender, grades 9 thru 11, to establish a classification for 2 years in a gender-specific sport. Graduation includes both genders of only one class. Ridge had a 'spike" in student populati...

"They don't practice . . . they just throw stuff around" is an awfully narrow view of the throws. If you are a thrower, by definition, much of your practice time is going to be spent "throwing stuff around." There are very specific techniques that must be learned and then totally...

This was my post from an earlier iteration of this subject. If you look at how things break out, the idea of creating conferences in Districts 5 & 6 that are virtually all the same classification (without a huge amount of travel) becomes somewhat realistic. For example: In "3A West," t...
