Re: Jr. High milestone reached

I know nothing about him. Did he ever want to move up? That sounds like a guy a few HS could have used for their varsity team? Was/Is he just happy in his current role?

Re: Rivalry Week in the LHAC

Have you watched a Westmont game? That double wing as Westmont runs it should be banned from football. It is not 1955. If you go down 14 points, you lose in that offense. It's a disservice to the kids that there are no changes to suit personnel or situations. Football is about fooling the defense w...

Re: Julian Fleming

I know so many people blast AAU basketball, but the good thing about it is that you get to see the best kids playing the best kids (kids that go to Power 5 schools all play on the Nike and Adidas circuits)…that is generally not the case with football. I know there is some travel 7-on-7 football now...

Re: Julian Fleming

Could it be that dominating PA AA football isn't a good indicator of how a player may perform in the Powe 5? That and also the kid. Some adjust much better, work harder, etc...than others. It didn't stop Tyler Boyd from being a star at Pitt and the number one WR with Cincy until they drafted 2 insa...

Re: Early signing

2. My other son went to IUP and I attended all their home games for a few years… just my opinion but IUP would throttle St Francis… SFU is only D1 football because they need to be for basketball… it’s a lower level of D1… absolutely nothing wrong with playing there at all.. that is still an incredi...

Re: McCort Wrestling

As I’ve said before, play by the rules! That includes EVERYONE! Sounds like to me there is one common denominator.......Basset! If BM’s defense is he was doing the same thing at FH, they should’ve known better and never hired him. Agree with this if we are talking about the team. So a team sport, I...

Re: 4A and 3A State playoffs

People say about homegrown… I’m not questioning that. I’m just curious how Aliquippa and Farrell (both should be A) have humans as big and fast and as these two teams have had over the past 10-20 years. Both teams have some absolutely gigantic linemen and have superstars in the backfield. Can't spe...

Re: McCort Wrestling

Watch about assuming Gibson would win states. Last year he was destined to be a 4-timer, but got pinned in a tilt. Don't talk too fast about be a shoe in to win states every year. Same thing with Bassett, since he got handled pretty good at S32, and a PA kid was right there with him at PA Power eve...

Re: 4A and 3A State playoffs

Meanwhile, the quips took care of business tonight. Guess they will be moving to 5A next Even if they win it all next week, it is dang criminal if the PIAA forces them up to 5A. They do not have the depth to play at that level and come out relatively healthy. I question how healthy they are in 4A d...

Re: McCort Wrestling

Mike, you Sir have hit the nail right on the head. This team was in place at FH, this entire debacle falls squarely on Bassett. He tried his hardest to get the head job at FH and failed and when he failed he took his show elsewhere. He's an egomaniac and wanted his name in the headlines and althoug...
