I could possibly see a problem if they were moving to Boswell or Windber but not Berlin which is a significant distance from Jerome. What is the problem here?

Forfeit in the AAABA League

Delweld's manager cites injuries and a thin pitching staff as the reason to not play its final game. "The game meant nothing to us. In the end, having two days off heading into the playoffs was more important to us. We acted in the best interest of our team. AAABA director Denny Altimore wasn't...

Re: Hollern stepping down.

While the money at public schools for teachers may be better than Bishop McCort's the money available to spend to advertise for openings for head basketball coach and athletic director must be more in favor of Bishop McCort than public schools.

Re: Are your numbers down for football?

In my opinion focusing on one sport at a young age (Football for first graders?) leads to premature burnout. Why would any white kid under 6'6" choose basketball?

Re: Are your numbers down for football?

First of all I think the video game addiction thing is false. I think the people most addicted to video games have been out of school for several years. A major problem I think is the overemphasis on sports in general. Basketball and hockey are being played year round and now baseball has started fa...

Re: Alumni Football Games

The Forest Hills nation has been aware of these games for the past few years, but it seems extremely tough to get old players together. Doubt if it will ever happen for us. Yes, at some point it is time to grow up. I'm still waiting for the first fatal heart attack on the field during one of these ...

Re: Your opinion please

Parents do pay 100s of dollars for their primadonnas to be on these traveling teams. Being on the high school team doesn't cost a dime.

Re: 2013 Johnstown Colt Baseball

Bum, the good old days are gone by the ways of soccer, AAU basketball, and summer hockey leagues. There are a lot less kids playing baseball. Now, 8 year old have to travel all over the county to play games. Plus there are a lot less trees now than 50 years ago. :) As for little leagues, the adults...
