Honestly, I don't have the imagination to make that up. Nor the imagination to see why I would. His younger brother Cameron is a junior on the Johnsonburg team. He and Cole Peterson make up one of the fastest front courts I've ever seen both offensively and on defense. A fun team to watch.

BC would be a good matchup with both Ridgway and Johnsonburg. Don't think they would have much trouble with NC or Smethport. Their guards just aren't that good to handle the pressure BC would throw at them. On another note, D9 not only has had regular representation in the western finals, but four different teams (All from the AML) in the past 9 years. When was the last time D6 made an impact on the state tournament? Juniata Valley?

A BC matchup with either Ridgway or Johnsonburg would be fun. North Clarion and Smethport would have trouble with the BC pressure. D9 not only had representation in the Western Finals five different times in the past 10 years but by four different teams(All AML teams). When was the last time D6 had an impact like that? Blairsville?

What kind of expansive imagination does one need to have to picture a person playing a pick up game of basketball against a college star and winning ???.....No offense but its not like you said he took off from the free throw line and dunked over him for every point or anything lol I'm with the d6footballfan if this guy was this talented why didn't he take any bball offers or anything of the like ???

Lincoln Park will likely be the 7-4 and playing D-10's champ.

Unless Clairton can do it again and beat Vincentian.

Blairsville was last d6A boys team that "made an impact" in state playoffs that I can remember. d5A has had better teams off and on last handful of years.

Opposite in girls where d6A and AA for that matter has had state champions and runners-up. Don't understand why the boys lag behind. It's also the opposite in girls in d9, where their teams struggle.

Bishop Guilfoyle boys had a very good team I want to say around 4 years ago. That year, d61 went into "eastern" side of bracket. I think they lost 18 point lead in their second game. They had shot to make final four.

I see Vincentian winning, but if Clairton can hang around to the end, dont count them out. The pressure wont get to these kids as much as some other group, look at the names of their starting 5, all football players from their state title teams. But Vincentian is a very good team, they can put 100 on someone like Lincoln Park can, but they also can play some defense. Lincoln Park's coach Javens isnt known for his defensive prowess. My heart says Clairton because they are a public school, brain says Vincentian.

The Vincentian girls will likely win tomorrow also.
