Schools looking to change districts

[12HankQB]

It seems some can't read. Remove the private schools from your list. d6 has a lot more teams but there are also teams that are really bad. For the 8 teams in D5, the lineup is very good. You are getting quality out of the few teams listed.

D6 has more teams but without the Bishops there are plenty weak teams. The D5 schools beat up on some of them too. The top 6 public schools in D5 this year are every bit the equal of the top 6 publics in D6.

Thank you, you almost brought me to tears

you D5 clowns are clueless....... out of all the teams in D5 and D6, I would say if you ranked the top 10 of both districts, D6 would have 8 of the top 10 on any given year, and D5 would have 2 out of the top 10 most years.

You are clueless to the conversation, if you take out BA and the Catholic schools....it would EASILY be 50-50 on a consistent level.

I'd say overall, D6 always has more depth but that should be the case considering they have more schools competing. In general though, I'd say D5's top two teams would always be competitive against the top two in D6 and some years field the best team.

Ty about tussey I hadn't seen the score yet. Tussey is 7 on my list. Maybe even 6. Actually I'll say 6. I will say guiulfoyle to my knowledge is not known as a recruiting team. They are also not usually successful
Most years. But these past two years don't surprise me. New coach and those kids have been good most
Of their way up from little gridders when most of them played for ACC

Homer has a tough three weeks ahead of them

are you taking Bellwood and the catholic schools out of the equation also? there is just too much depth in D6 to give more than two spots to D5 in the top 10.

there are usually 3 teams in the D6 part of the ICC that are strong when you count Bellwood and two others since juniata, mo valley, and Glendale come to mind as two of them being strong most years. most years, portage and blacklick have strong teams with 6 or 7 wins in the regular Westpac season. the heritage normally has between 2 and 4 strong teams. then you have the 3 catholic lhac teams in single A, (which I am opposed to), even winless teams would probably be middle to upper in d5 and in any other conference.......

don't forget the years of laurel valley too in class A prior to the merger... they were 7-2 or better it seems every year under jerry page...

to be realistic.......the d5 teams of windber, northern Bedford, and more recently berlin since ian saylor came and got things turned around for them.

the cream of the Westpac has been portage(d6) and windber (d5) over the last 10-15 years in my opinion.

normally windber and Bellwood are the largest teams based on enrollment in both conferences. I remember one enrollment period were windber was 1 boy under from going to AA.....so why count out Bellwood of the d6 equation and leave windber in for d5 Hank?

unfortunately for d5, the portage teams that destroyed the Westpac with 50 point wins for years then lost in the d6 playoffs will leave d5 with a weak conference label.
