Re: CR Football 2006
From what I was told that it is possible that the season will start a week early like the WPIAL does to allow d6 A to expand its playoffs. If so AA and AAA will need to start early also because of the cross over of schedules between them and week 10 would be a regular season game. If they do not incorperate the early start than the week 10 game against Bedford would be if neither make the playoffs.
Re: CR Football 2006
Gunner sinking ship has no referance to strength but to the desire to be part of the LHAC. They should have half of the playoff spots half of the AA teams in the erea are in the LHAC. Teams keep leaving and soon it will only be Bedford, Forest Hills, Bishop Carrol, and Bishop McCort left in the LHAC wouldn't that be something to be part off. A 4 team conferance, you could play each other 3 times home away and at a neautral site and that would give you a nine game schedule.

Hog thanks. I had heard rumors of the early start but I wasn't sure if it went through or not.
Although I know a lot of people would love the see the LHAC powers get screwed in scheduling, it just isn't going to happen. Even if you lose a few teams, there are always looking to get in. It's pretty much give and take.
Beside they are two teams up, and even if they lost a few they would still have their conference, and then have to go find 1 or 2 out of conference games. The WIPAL does that as of now, and it works pretty well. In fact I personally think it would be great even to travel as far as Maryland or West Virginia for a game during the course of a season. Set it up like a State thing.
It's just if you look at the core of the LHAC, teams like McCort, FH, CC, PC, BC, Johnstown, Somerset, Bedford, and Westmont. Right there you have a conference. Those teams aren't going anywhere. You have 8 conference games, 1 out of conference game, and go find a few scrimmages. Would it be all peachy and pretty like it is now? No. But these teams will hardly be left without a schedule.
If it doesn't, a week 10 game between these two teams won't occur. At least one of these two teams will make the playoffs every year.
The week 10 games would be a great way to renew some old rivalries and keep conference play the way it is now. I'd love to see CR/Bedford, Richland/Windber, FH/Portage, and others go at it on a yearly basis.

This is an interesting thread. I agree with a lot of what OG has stated regarding the status of the CR program.
My question is this. What has CR done that would indicate they would be competitive in the LHAC?
The answer to that will indicate if they really should consider a move back, "If" they are extended an offer.

Re: CR Football 2006
I agree it would be nice if all teams would be able to play at least 2 out of conferance games to intermix the conferances up a little before playoff time. Not that CR has a good record against Bedford and FH but we do border both schools and it would be nice to play against them again as well as possibly Windber. I know that the LHAC still will have plenty of teams for a conferance but if you keep beating down the same dog and they leave who is next to keep taking a beating PC, Westy or CC how long til they get tired of it? Lucky that Somerset and J-town is kind of stuck. Need to intermix the conferances some way like the WPIAL does.
It's the playoffs that will be pushed back a week, thus providing enough time for D-6 A to go to 16 teams in their playoff, and providing everybody with a week 10 match-up that would normally be for not if you were in the post season. It's not being accepted nicely at the present time. The main concern being the weather, and we all saw the products of that this weekend. This upcoming weekend, next year, will be the championship weekend if all goes to plan.
BOSSHOGG,
You can't get it outta your head that Bedford is in the LHAC. If Ridge joins for football, that would be great, but would leave them both looking for a week 10 opponent again, as they would both be in the same section of the conferEnce. Let the grudge go man. Just let it go. It's not our problem that Ridge backed out and now can't get back in for football, even if they wanted to.

Re: CR Football 2006
There is no grudge you are the ones that wants CR back in for football. I don't think CR has any desire for that. I could care less if they would join the Mid Penn conferance CR still has no desire for an all sports conferance. Thats the bottom line. I hate conferances in general. All they do is impead upon progress of what can happen in the future, takes care of schedueling for the AD's and tries to protect a few schools from schedueling issues in the future. AD's I am sure happy because now all they have to do is hire officials or does the LHAC take care of that to? I have said it before and I will say it again schools should be playing with in class. Yes there are teams that bounce back and forth that is were the AD's every other year need to get together to adjust for those issues. Still could leave 1 or 2 games for out of class rivalry games that would not help or hinder either team. I think CR would definately not do as well right away but would be better off in the long run.

An AD is an extremely busy job and if we would go to a non conference format it would be a huge headache for them to schedule games every year.
Most schools at the current time have a teacher who also acts as an AD. But with the addition of extended Junior High schedule, and amoung other things, an AD job would have to be just that, a full time AD job.
Yes Hog AD's have to get the officials for the game. I don't know if you know any AD's, but sit in their office for about 10 minutes one day. Their phone will ring 20 times. It is an EXTREMELY busy job.

it would be difficult to schedule the new year, but once you get your opponents established, it should be pretty easy from there...just change location every year and change a few dates around, doesnt seem like it would be that big of a headache. then again ive never done it so i cant really appreciate the actual work involved.
