Re: LP-BC

Man where are all those BC lovers who called titan and others crazy when they said 20 would be a miracle! I don't feel sorry for BC. I feel sorry for every public school out there that is restricted to their own A school district and not be able to have kids from multiple AA school districts. if yo...

Re: WJAC's Matt Maisel weighs In on Public vs Private/Charte

Here we go again. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Why do small schools stay in the PIAA? Those single and double-A schools that don't like the system---and there are a lot of them---need to get together, secede from the PIAA and form the Pennsylvania Small Public Schools Association. If ...

Re: LP-BC

BC should be sitting outside looking in right now.... Refs blew a call. Lp is going to win 90+-50 around. Nothing wrong with BC bit lp has talent only a few AAAA teams in PA has. What blown call are you talking about? Martinazzi's game-tying two point shot at the buzzer was scored correctly. The of...

Re: Bishop Carroll vs. Monessen

Look at how some of the Charters pop up and then go away a few years later. Some of the Phily ones are hilarious. Agreed. The disparity in stability among K-8 and 9-12 charter schools can be very significant. I have only heard of two K-8 brick-and-mortar (i.e. non-cyber charter) that have closed th...

Re: Bishop Carroll vs. Monessen

Public charter = private when it comes to sports. Hyndman Charter is public and if it was a basketball power there would suddenly be a lot of interest from kids in the area to attend there. Their location won't allow that to happen. I have no doubt though if Hyndman was a section of the Johnstown a...

Re: Bishop Carroll vs. Monessen

Bet Monessen and Coach Salvino wish those transfer 'rules' had kept their 6'8" center in town. The PIAA strikes again! PIAA= PRIVATE interscholastic ATHLETIC achievement. You do realize membership in the PIAA is not compulsory for any school. The PIAA accepts all schools providing they comply ...

Re: Bishop Carroll vs. Monessen

Great comment upnorth. My question to all is. Who were the first two member schools of the PIAA? That's a great trivia question. I thought I read something a long, long time ago that New Castle is one of the first members of the PIAA, but I could be confusing that with the WPIAL (which predates the...
