Re: Proposed weight changes? Thoughts?

Ugh, I don't think this is a good move by the board to reduce number of weights. Considering just as recent as last year the participation finally stopped bleeding after a 6 year skid in decreasing participation. I know its big in central Pennsylvania and some other locations, but for everywhere acr...

Re: Playing up a class, or 2

This is all tricky.  We have a lot of different variables in PIAAs structure and format.  Some of the issues/questions I see: [ul][li]Private Schools/Non-Boundary Schools - Students can attend on a tuition basis.  This allows for schools to entice (in various ways, academics, facilities, recruitment...

Re: District 5 Class AAA and AAAA scenarios

Aren't there some districts out there that require teams to be above .500 for tournament/playoff play?  6 classifications has really worked out for some schools, regardless, it is the system in place.  I don't have a better answer to this issue.

Re: LHAC update 1-25-18

I will give a tip of the cap to Cambria Heights.  Good work.  Things appear headed in the right direction.  From the games I have been to, the kids are grasping an identity and taking smarter shots.  Playing much better defense and even some hustle plays mixed in (diving on the floor, personal favor...

Re: Christmas Tournaments

I saw Chestnut girls play at Claysburg tonight. I can't see how they will win a game in the LHAC this year. The onlybright spot was they had a girl hit about 4 treys late in the game, but still l lost by 40 points. I would agree dadw/2sons the LHAC is brutal (especially girls), but sometimes upsets...
