I'm not in favor of this move. Those kids will practice against seniors. There's such a difference between a 15 year old and an 18 year old.

Regarding PIAA rules (pardon my ignorance) -Could BG play up a class in football without affecting the school's other sports? -If BG elected to move up, could they just as easily move back down if/when the talent pool shrinks? PIAA rules allow teams to choose to play up in class if they want.  The ...

Will the new transfer be paying tuition, or will he be receiving substantial funding for his exceptional academics?

Here is the current standing: AA DISTRICT FIVE FOOTBALL RATINGS RANK TEAM WON LOST POINTS RATING 1 Berlin 7 1 49 6.125 2 Chestnut Ridge 5 3 46 5.750 3 Westinghouse 4 3 39 5.571 4 Everett 5 3 37 4.625 as...

This is the information posted on the district 5 website.  If it's an open tournament any school in that classification can enter.  There is no way they could be "kicked out" of the playoffs.  Class AA Playoffs An open playoff to include the District 8 representative with semifinals Saturd...
