I've heard Central Mountain is trying to gain admission into D4 and the Wyoming Valley Conference.

Leechburg did a double-take this summer and officially withdrew their request to move to D6 when the parents raised concerns about travel times if they joined the Heritage Conference.

I agree that line play will dictate the outcome, but I don't think that Tyrone will give up too many points. Call it 28-13 for the Bison.

Adding CR (again) and LV to the LHAC would be interesting from a competition perspective. You meant adding CR (again) and LV (again) to the LHAC would be interesting from a competition perspective. LV was a charter member of the LHAC. I had completely forgotten that LV was in the LHAC for the first...

Heritage school size based on the PIAA classification site: LV-228 MC-181 NC-157 BLV-154 PL-152 U-151 HC-116 PM-94 S-92 United, Saltsburg and Northern Cambria are not really smaller schools. The average distance and time from the nine existing Heritage schools to Boalsburg is 98 miles and 1:42 one ...

St. Joseph's from the State College area could be considered as well. As a startup single-A program, they might be more attractive to the smaller Heritage teams such as United, Purchase Line, Saltsburg and Northern Cambria.

The playing time issue is not really an argument since most schools are playing JV football, at least in the Heritage Conference. One area of concern with smaller schools is that the number of sports has increased while the number of students keeps decreasing. I can use United as an example. You ha...

0-5 could easily turn into 0-10. To me, the 49-0 pasting from Bedford was telling. Up until that point, the defense gave them a chance in every game. Now it seems the entire team has given up. Regardless, it seems 2-8 or maybe 3-7 is the most they could achieve this year.

I'd take Clearfield based on line play. State College would destroy either of them with their roster of 105 as their O-line and D-line would overwhelm the Bisons or Rams. The quality of competition they face week in and week out is at a completely different level, but you would expect that with a st...

I wouldn't necessarily say they would be catering to Altoona, although Altoona and Hollidaysburg would benefit the most. From a budget perspective (i.e. transportation) this league would also benefit Central Mountain, Mifflin County and State College. I also do not see Indiana or Johnstown having an...

Does anyone have any updated information on the status of the new athletic conference that John Franco is trying to establish? The proposed conference would include the following schools: Altoona Central Mountain Clearfield Dubois Hollidaysburg Mifflin County State College Williamsport Personally, I...
