Hopefully both these teams stayed healthy and are hoisting district gold in a couple weeks.

Unfortunately LV's running back Miller was carried off the field with a leg Injury. Hope the young man Isn't hurt badly and can come back for the playoffs but he wasn't putting any weight on his leg and was rolling around In some pain with the QB holding his hands on the ground consoling him. He was Injured late in the 3rd Quarter up 42-0 or 48-0, he already had 200+ yards rushing and 3TD's. If this was Portage RB/QB I'd be typing the same thing right now.....WHY WAS HE STILL IN THE GAME?!?!?EnzoLigoniere wrote:Hopefully both these teams stayed healthy and are hoisting district gold in a couple weeks.
Got to get them stats. I said the same thing when Tobias was in the whole game vs Tyrone. I know he wants that td record but if he got hurt then a district title would be no chance for PV.PortagePride wrote:Unfortunately LV's running back Miller was carried off the field with a leg Injury.

Looking at the WPIAL schedules, I don't believe that Ligonier will be playing many Heritage schools. It seems that their out of section foes are almost always other WPIAL teams. The move of the Rams to the WPIAL is bittersweet to me. Yes, I believe that the move from the Heritage should have happened when the consolidation took place in 2010. However, as a Laurel Valley alumnus, I have been watching the Rams competing against most of the Heritage and Westpac teams going back five decades. They will be missed and I wish them all good luck. If by chance Ligonier can keep any of them on their schedule, I would hope they would be United, Homer and Blairsville.PaSportsGuy wrote:I hope Ligonier Valley can keep a few of these teams on their schedule next season..

Tubmill, the problem with that is that those teams would have to want to play Ligonier. I don't think they do. I do have some good news though. It appears, the push to by the WPIAL to go to muli-class geographical conferences (based more on them making money at Heinz more than anything) is meeting significant push back from 80-90% percent of the membership. Turns out coaches and AD's would rather travel a little bit to play schools their own size, who'd of thunk it. That's huge for Ligonier. Instead of being lumped in with Derry, Elizabeth Forward, and Maybe even Belle Vernon (and getting a taste of their own medicine so to speak), they will play a largely 2A schedule with schools their size. Southmoreland and Charleroi to name a few close by. Thanks to some common sense they will continue to compete, they won't win 36 in a row by mercy rule. However, they will probably be yearly play-off participants and once in a while make a run to try to get to Heinz Field. If you think the parade's for the Appy Bowl titles were nice, just imagine the communitys excitement if they were ever to make it to Heinz. I think the best thing for LV folks is just to move on not look back, save the twitter hate and look forward to a new age full of opportunities for all of LV's student athletes, one where they will face adversity, defeats, and fierce competition, and have the ability to come out on the other side with a true appreciation competition. Despite all of their championships that is the one thing those kids aren't getting.tubmill wrote:Looking at the WPIAL schedules, I don't believe that Ligonier will be playing many Heritage schools.

Can you name a single wpial school that plays a Heritage school? The Heritage is going to replace them and there will be no possible way for them to play any Heritage schools in footballtubmill wrote:Looking at the WPIAL schedules, I don't believe that Ligonier will be playing many Heritage schools.
