Good SUmmary

Niec D-5/SH League summary, HR. Hey, my SA Titans delivered a massive beating AT North Allegheny Tuesday night, 61-45. We erased a 12 point first half defecit by going on a 42-12 run from 2:00 left in the half to 4:00 left in the game. It was exciting to see our team be injury free and play great ba...

Off Topic

Off the Topic a bit, but... I recall seeing a lot of games in the newspaper in the mid-80s to early 90s where teams like Southern Fulton, Forbes Road, and Fannett-Metal ran up some ungodly scores. I recall a SF/FM game producing a final score of something like 115-103, and I know that SF, FM, and FR...

Good Job

Good post, Sports999. In the west in AAAA boys, State College is one of the favorites for sure, but I have seen Erie McDowell play and they are awfully tough. George Junior is also a very talented club. I would rate McDowell a notch better than State College and GJR. In the WPIAL AAAA, there seems t...

Game

I was at the PC/Lewistown game as well. My 2 hour trip from suburban Pittsburgh was well worth the while for this exciting game. PC trailed most of the game, including by 13 (64-51) with 5:50 left before using full court pressure to mount a final charge. If PC had another 2 minutes, I believe they w...

JonS

Jon Szynal is an absolute class act, an excellent coach, and an all-around great guy, not to mention he was one outstanding athlete at PC, ACC, and WVU. He's what's right about coaching and teaching. Jon especially loathes me when I make him run 10 miles with me a few times a year while I am in town...

ALtoona

I saw Altoona play this summer...Here's a newsflash: They will need a heckuva lot more than Brady Hoover to turn around that Titanic this year. With what they have, Dan Fortson could quit playing for the Dalls Mavs and re-enroll at Altoona RIGHT NOW and the Mt. Lions would still lose to State Colleg...

I just asked

I just asked a simple question about what accomplishment is more impressive if you look back at my post in this thread. Gee, (tic), I had no idea NAS would take things so personally. NAS, you have absolutely no need to have an inferiority complex, which is so readily evident on here. You jump to you...

Hmmm

I realize that 3600+ points is a lot of baskets over 4 years, but... Which is more impressive??? A player scoring over 3600 points vs. mostly competition that amounted to Little Sisters of the Poor and the 8-9th grade level of CYO ball...Basically little more than a 4 year uncontested shoot around f...

Sell

Sell is an animal. I hear of workouts he has done like 20x400 in 65-70 seconds with a 15 second rest and 8x1mile repeats at 4:45 pace with a 1 minute jog rest between each repeat.

Unless you've run distance in track, you have NO IDEA how hard this is.
