Re: Week scores..post them here

Will Purchase Line forfeit this game at the last minute next year? Glad the boys had a good game and they are getting some stats back from their forfeit. This isn't about the kids, its about the adult leaders with ego problems that no one will reign in...this was at the expense of the PL kids. LV h...

Re: Saltsburg forfeit

From Blairsville HS to Saltsburg HS, the distance is 17.7 miles, or a 25-minute drive. Laurel Valley HS to Ligonier Valley HS? Distance of 12.4 miles, or a 20-minute drive. That doesn't tell the whole story, as LV is a very vertical district in terms of mapping. It would depend completely on the dis...

Re: Saltsburg forfeit

Saltsburg has a nice weight room.  In fact, many teams in the conference have nicer weight rooms than LV.

I bet you LV is still the strongest.  And that has nothing to do with their enrollment...those kids have to be kicked out of that weight room all offseason.

Re: Saltsburg forfeit

Blairsville or LV reached out and agreed to play a JV game this past Saturday morning.  At least both school's JVs got to have a game. That was scheduled prior to the season and not in response to Saltsburg cancelling.  One way LV develops its players is by maximizing JV opportunities...they will p...

Re: Saltsburg forfeit

What did Saltsburg steal from Ligonier Valley? - lost gate revenue, which pays for all other sports at LV - lost concessions revenues, which is the band's biggest source of funding, not to mention their performance and their families' enjoyment of it - lost cheer fundraising revenues and the opport...

Re: Saltsburg forfeit

What league do you propose Saltsburg join? They stole from Ligonier Valley?  I’m sure Ligonier Valley will recover. Difference with Westmont?  Not much.  One could argue they shouldn’t be playing 4A and 3A teams either.   I don’t know a conference that would fit Saltsburg outside of the WestPAC and...

Re: Saltsburg forfeit

There is no question that LV is much larger than Saltsburg, but that's not the primary reason they can't compete. I remember when Ligonier Valley struggled in the LHAC. How did LV react?  It put its tail between its legs and quit the LHAC to join a conference with Saltsburg. Bingo!! 'History' must ...

Re: Saltsburg forfeit

Mainly because Ligonier is three times the enrollment, check the Piaa figures.  This is like Ligonier playing Norwin as an example.   It is really no ones fault, I can see it both ways. Saltsburg/blairsville should combine teams  Two things.  Saltsburg beat a AA team this year (Marion Center).  Als...
