portage, ferndale, blacklick, conemaugh valley to D5

Post by hornets69 »

if district 6 releases ligonier valley to go to d7, does portage and the other westpac teams make another push to go to d5? and if so do they have a lawsuit if denied based on d6 releasing ligonier valley?

I think there’s a difference between leaving a district and getting  kicked out of a district.

No.  They don’t.  Those four schools are located in District 6.  Ligonier Valley was not.

Let's be honest , District 5 wants nothing to do with Portage coming to their playground.  Gouse would have a cabinet of district gold if Portage was in district 5.

I don’t know how I feel about agreeing with the guy everyone dislikes on here, but I think he is spot on. And 10 is definitely the conservative side. Hmmm maybe some respect for portage since you’ve watched them in person?

Ligonier is in District 6. They applied in 1969 and became a full member of said conference. Also the northern portion of Ligonier Valley (Laurel Valley) was always in District 6.

Some schools have to be "out on the border", don't they?  Thats why there's a "border".

Ligonier leaving for more opportunities is a little different than moving to District 5 when all the same sports are offered in District 6 at every level. The only reason to move to D5 is for the chance to win more championships

Some of these schools are landlocked in District 6 and they wouldn't even switch conference affiliation so there's not really a good basis.
