Re: TOWNSHIP VS CLAIRTON
Whatd you expect.. all i heard on the radio is how impressed they were with how Township was playing.. just wondering what they were saying last year when windber was down 6-0 at half..hahaha
But nothing to be ashamed of.. went and played hard.. there just too good-remember the experience and dont listen to all the haters because they didnt make it to where you were.

Re: TOWNSHIP VS CLAIRTON
How embarassing is it when you are playing in the state playoffs and the team is kneeling it instead of going for the conversion.
Great comments by the CT coach in the TD today. "we played them tough for a quarter" Are you kidding me, they were at the point that they were putting band members in the game because it was so out of control. Did he really think that they played them tough? FH losing by one was playing someone close.

Re: TOWNSHIP VS CLAIRTON
youngbuck were you at this game in the first quarter?except for the one incomplet e pass when the receiver was wide open i thought that they did hang with them.Granted the first play of the second qtr was along td pass and i know it was24-0 at halftime but come on they did hang with them for 1 qtr even though they play 4 qtrsagainst the number onedefense in the state give them at least alittle credit
Re: TOWNSHIP VS CLAIRTON
Give the Indians credit for getting to the Q final. Nothing to be ashamed of.
But putting these kids in this position is not even close to being fair. They were at such a huge disadvantage coming out of the pitiful pitiful WESTPAC. Lack of competition was the issue. There is NONE in WESTPAC. Playing all season in WESTPAC and then facing Clairton??? Are you kidding me??? Just wasn't fair to the kids.

Re: TOWNSHIP VS CLAIRTON

what are you talking about, that is the dumbest comment I have ever seen.
This is high school football, all of the players are high school students in the state of PA in schools that are similar in size, in fact Clairton is actually smaller in numbers than CT.
Not only did CT play in the weakest conference and district in the state, they got a week bye to heal any injuries,
the only thing that is unfair is that the piaa does not address district 5 and 6 and redistribute the schools.
if ct plays in 6, they would have been at best #4 behind bm, bellwood and obviously portage.

Maybe you better check the "AA" Brackets before you make such a comment. Maligned and sub .500 5-AA Champ Bedford, beat both the District 8 and District 9 Champ this year. How can District 5 be the weakest when their AA Champ, who probably would not beat 5-A champ CT, wins games over two other districts champions?

Re: TOWNSHIP VS CLAIRTON
Roadie,
My observation, which is supported by anyone who follows PA high school football, was that the WESTPAC is the weakest conference in the state. Although also from district 5, Bedford plays in the LHAC, not the WESTPAC. They do not get to play power houses and juggernauts like Ferndale, Conamaugh Valley, Rockwood-Turkeyfoot, etc like the Indians do-- so I can see where you would think the Indians are the best in district 5 ---with all the superior competition and all.

Re: TOWNSHIP VS CLAIRTON
If the West PAC is the weakest then where does the ICC fit in? In head to head match-ups the West PAC generally wins out over ICC opponents in the playoffs.
I would say year in and year out that Bellwood is the best Program in either conference but overall I think the West PAC is a better conference than the ICC.

Re: TOWNSHIP VS CLAIRTON
I didn't mention the WestPac or any conference in my post.
I took exception to District 5 being considered the weakest District in the state when our AA champion defeated two other District Champions.
It's hard to say for sure in Class "A" but I think Twp. may have been good enough to beat the champs from Districts 1, 2, and possibly Clarion from D9.
At any rate, although it is the smallest district, I don't think it's necessarily the worst. You other guys can argue about conferences, I'm sure there are some in other areas of the state that aren't the strongest either.
