Saturday Game Options (Week 8)

[Sykotyk]

You can get great pictures at Asiago and also ride the Johnstown Incline with your vehicle.

Question: Where did you see Penn Cambria 35-8 and Berlin 56-0 ?

calpreps.com projects the outcome of every game in the country.

Just go to http://www.calpreps.com/ --> Projections and look down at the PA line and go to the week you want.

The predictions I gave were through --> Project a Matchup, and entered them myself, as calpreps had yet to update their projections for the week. There will be a slight variance for home field advantage that my predictions hadn't accounted for. However, they're fairly accurate both for victor and generally scoreline is a decent estimate.

Also, quick question regarding Westmont and Homer-Center if anyone can.

What are the official names of the two stadiums?

Thank you for sharing those links to the pictures. Phenominal work....

The pictures from MT are awesome. I can see why they are your favorites.

Again, thanks for sharing.

Sykotyk- I am not sure of the name for Westmont. However, Homer Centers field is called Memorial Field.

Westmont's stadium is Price Field. They play at the middle school and the address is probably on Menoher Boulevard.

First, I'd like to thank everyone for their responses. I went to the Westmont Hilltop-Penn Cambria game. Despite the rain, I had a great time. And a hat tip to the mention of Asiagos. Definitely worth going there. And the incline was fun, though it scared the [expletive deleted] out of my girlfriend.

Neither game today was particularly good (Penn Cambria 27-7 and West Middlesex 34-6), but it was fun. I had originally planned to attend two games in Ohio this week, but were schools and venues I had seen previously. Either Shaker Heights vs. Elyria or Beachwood-Cuyahoga Heights for the afternoon game, and then the night game was an odd Saturday night matchup with Warren Harding hosting Cleveland Heights. Beachwood-Cuyahoga Heights went to OT, with Beachwood winning after stopping a two-point conversion, 21-20.

Though, a mud-bowl is always fun, as Penn Cambria-Westmont Hilltop devolved into as the game went on. Hoping the pictures turned out well from it.

All other games were mostly one-sided. I had originally planned for Week 9 to see a District 9 doubleheader: Sheffield vs. Port Allegany at 130pm, and Elk County Catholic vs. Brockway at 7pm in St Marys. However, I've seen games at both venues multiple times (Sheffield 3x, ECC 2x).

However, Westmont Hilltop is hosting Bishop Carroll. And at 7pm, Bishop McCort is hosting Central Cambria at Point Stadium. A venue I've always wanted to see a high school game at. So, my decision was fairly easy for next week. Plus, the matchups are better.

Hopefully the weather holds out better, as well.

And coachcal, I couldn't log onto bleachercoaches.com on my phone and was already running late. Arrived in Westmont about 20 minutes before game time, and got into the stadium just in time for kickoff. Though I missed that first TD while at the concession stand.

For Week 9 on Saturday, I had originally planned to take in a few District 9 contests. First, was Sheffield v. Port Allegany at 1pm and then drive down to St. Marys for the Elk County Catholic v. Brockway game at 7pm.

Now, I had been to both venues in the past (Sheffield 3x, St. Marys' Dutch County Stadium 2x) but neither game is particularly intriguing. Last week, I drove down to Johnstown for the Westmont Hilltop v. Penn Cambria game at 1pm and then up to Homer City for the Homer-Center v. West Middlesex game. Which included a trip on the incline and an early dinner at Asiago's.

Well, I've decided to come down again to Johnstown. I'm planning on the Westmont Hilltop v. Bishop Carroll game at 1pm and then follow it up with the Bishop McCort v. Central Cambria game at 7pm. Though, Ferndale is also playing at 1pm. Now, I've already seen a Westmont game, though it was hunkered down against the rain most of the time.

So, which would be the more worthwhile, and I know this is short notice: Westmont or Ferndale?

As for the late game, there's no way I'd talk myself out of the game at Point Stadium. I've been by that stadium many times in the past, and always liked that they played football there, and want to take in a game at the, albeit rebuilt, Point Stadium.

And I think Asiago's is already a must for tomorrow. Wild Mushroom Ravioli with Steak Tips was unbelievable.
