This would be for next year, right? I'm guessing you can't co-op two weeks before school starts.

I also heard Ligonier is now looking at a 5 game season.

If they can't field full teams this year, why not now?

I think the plan is to try to make it happen this season, not to be overly obvious, but it should have happened a while ago.

Ferndale could be absorbed in many different directions. Their elementary school is a few blocks away from Westmont's.

Why not have CV and Ferndale kids attend the new Blended Academy at McCort. Half price, only attend classes 2 days per week, can participate in ALL extra-curricular activities, discipline, religion, nice ties.

From today’s Tribune Democrat:

(Ferndale AD) Clawson hopes the football co-op would begin this season.

Ferndale has 17 players listed on the roster it submitted to the Tribune-Democrat.

(CV AD) McCleester stressed that no agreement has been approved by the CV board.

CV has 25 players on its current roster.

My question: how does a team that forfeited four games last year have 25 kids on its roster a year later?

Didn't they start with decent numbers (comparatively) last year and then have a sizable chunk of kids quit and get injured in the middle of the season?

I'm guessing a decent number of freshman pumping up the numbers too but few, if any, who will be ready to play any quality downs. Pure speculation though.

fair enough. I was just asking. I just thought these processes took longer but kudos to them if they can get it done.

Edit: I'm guessing whoever makes the league schedule isn't too fond of the idea...lol.

PIAA just gave the go ahead to open up fall sports in PA. Schools now have the right to play or not based on their decision.
