Re: D6 Championships

That's why they play the game. Any given Friday night. The best team doesn't always win. One team gets hot. One team has a bad game. One team has a great game. You get one shot. That's the fun of high school football playoffs. I could not agree more. Wherever you stand, you have to love the match u...

Re: D6 Boys Hoops

Charter schools are publicly funded, so when someone poses the idea of separating public and private, they are really just making the pool smaller for the charter schools to dominate. Charter schools are the real problem, Catholic schools are the scapegoats. It really isn't whether or not a high sc...

I thought all of the charter schools were public schools? We have a few in Centre county and they are all public.

Re: D6SN: AAA Championship Preview

Great analysis Crimson. Clearfield's pass defense looked a little suspect earlier in the year, but they have been lights out since albeit against weaker competition. Lezzer is the real deal and it's easy to see why he's headed to Boston College next year. Stull does most of his damage on the ground,...

Re: The Public's vs The Private's.....

so should the Hipp kid from McCort been allowed to transfer? how long should he have sat for? I'm pretty sure that I read in the Post-Gazette that the WPIAL ruled that Hipp is ineligible to play basketball this season as they deemed he transferred partly for an athletic purpose. Pretty dumb if you ...

Re: The Public's vs The Private's.....

Here is a very good read with regard to private schools recruiting student/athletes in PA...Sift through the legalese and it's pretty interesting. http://www.leagle.com/decision/20041271349FSupp2d922_11198 Incidentally, the recruited student/athlete in question "tipped off" the WPIAL/PIAA...

Re: The Public's vs The Private's.....

Yes, but if the AD's and principals at so called "Christian schools" (where the atmosphere is morally straight compared to public schools) SUSPECT it is for athletic reasons, shouldn't they stand up for what's right???? Don't they have the moral courage to say NO? Or does money talk? Do t...

Re: The Public's vs The Private's.....

I have absolutely NO trouble with any student transferring right after 8th grade. This establishes where the parents hope their children will be for the next 4 years. There is a significant tuition difference per year, for example, between St. Andrew's and Bishop McCort. Many parent's can't make th...

Re: The Public's vs The Private's.....

I have always felt transfers should be ineligible for varsity play for 1 year unless a family physically moves. This would apply to all They should be allow to practice and play JV. This rule should also be in place for districts like the City of Pittsburgh were students have multiple choices of sc...
