Horribly weak? I agree it was a down year, but it didn't make BG look better than they are. Portage could not compete week in and week out in the LHAC. You can't judge BG on one game, they are a dominant football team no matter how "horribly weak" the LHAC was.

BG was a little better than our Mustangs this evening. Hats off to them and their fat cheerleader of a coach.

Without a doubt, Berlin is better than BG. Berlin (-7) vs. BG.

What it all comes down to is the fact that the LHACKKKK was a horribly weak conference this year. The conference made BG look a lot better than they actually are, period.

So somerset who's only loss is to BG, beating a top MAC team 27-0 and Selinsgrove 42-14 in AAA state playoffs is because those teams are down? If your favoring berlin over bg berlin should be favored by what 28 over these two team? You west pac fellas are a joke. Bg had a bad night. Id take them by 21 over berlin or any other west pac team easily. The lhacs weakest year could beat the west pac best year. Its a different animal. Get over it. Portage played them tough but this game was no way going in Portage favor. They should hold their heads high though. They gained some respect.

That's because there head coach isn't allowed with them tonight!

Kongo you are a straight up jack wagon and should be banned from this site because of how unintelligent you are and for the garbage that comes out of that trash can you call your mouth. You are a portage hater and are mad because BG didn't win by 60 like you wanted. the reality of it was Portage played BG closest anyone has all season, besides you were probably in the band in high school so you don't have much input anyways. Go mustangs

Im not mad and i did play football at penns Manor. And I'm not mad but people on here are saying bg is crap and Berlin would beat them. I'm sorry your Westpac fans are delusional! You barely got by the Robinson less team and are acting like you won d6 tonight! Did portage impress? Yes but once again they go home championshisless. And penns Manor going 8-3 with 1 senior starting? Dude im happy as hell about that!

Since his team(Penns manor) is struggling he tries to bring down as many teams as possible. He just forgets these are kids he's ripping not multi million dollar professional athletes.

Woah its om for portages coach to make comments in the newspaper and not use them as critique! They guy practically said they had no chance this week! All I was saying was maybe gouse not being there telling his kids its ok to lose to this team made them play their best game of the year!

Somerset only loss was to Bg who is single A. Somerset would have a struggle and possibly loose to Portage, Berlin, and Clariton. Congrads to Somerset, but there is never to many great teams in AAA.

Somerset would probably beat Portage by 20 at minimum. The LHAC's top 4-5 teams would all win the WestPac. The LHAC isn't what it was say in 2006, but it's still the class of the area when you take in consideration top to bottom. Berlin wouldn't beat BG, I can assure you that.

I get that BG only beat Portage by 14, but I don't believe they played their best game. I wouldn't get caught up in the score too much. BG is a much better football team than probably what they showed. Good for Portage sticking around and playing them tough. It was a championship game, you knew they had to show up and do something. You have to give them a lot of credit, but give credit to BG as well. They still beat an 11-1 team by two touchdowns without playing their absolute best.

Who knows if this is significant or not, but the BG kids obviously lost to Homer last year. They lost to Forbes Road in basketball last year in a game they had no business losing, and they were bounced two years ago in hoops in the first round in an upset. And they didn't play lights out like they did all year last night. The "big game" for this BG group is seemingly a problem, but maybe last night they overcame it.

Also if I were a Portage fan, I wouldn't be calling out the BG coach for being a "Rah rah look at me coach" when your own coach was a ejected from a game last week. That's embarrassing on his part and anything Wheeler does pales in comparison of that. That's the ultimate "rah rah look at me" act a coach can do. So in my thought process, that's comical Portage fans would bring that into the discussion, especially with his newspaper built in excuses every time he plays a tough team.

I have a lot of respect for Portage. They have a top rate athletic department, they have great assistants that have been helpful to me, I know a few of the players and they are great kids. And they have a lot of success winning 8-9-10 games a year, but as I said in another post, Coach Gouse certainly rubs people the wrong way.

WestPAC fans let's not get too crazy here. Portage played a great game against a state championahip caliber team, but you can't judge everything by one game.

So we're going to start saying it was only close because BG didn't play their best game? Maybe it is because Portage actually played great against them. Both teams can have perfect games.

So Westpac beat the best the Heritage had to offer, won every game matched up with the ICC, and scored the most points against the LHAC's best In BG and we're still going to be looked down upon. The LHAC would pound the lower tier teams of the WestPac cause that's what everyone does but the Portage, Berlin, and Meyersdale could hold their own in the LHAC this year. Beating the lower end of the LHAC and being very competitive with the others. The only games I think could be lopsided would be the matchups with Jtown,BG, and Somerset. You can't sit there and tell me that a team like Forest Hills would dominate the WestPAC big 3. I'm not saying they wouldn't beat them but come on. They definitely could.

Now back to taking pokes at the little guy. And how D5 is just going to get romped next week. We're used to hearing it.

Konjo did Robinson get hurt against Portage? Oh yea you bring it up in every topic, nvm

"Konjo did Robinson get hurt against Portage? Oh yea you bring it up in every topic, nvm"


I noticed that also. I wonder if any Blairsville folks post on these forums. If they do I haven't read much 'crying' about the loss of Robinson. I was at the game and did mention it in another post but was doing so as a neutral observer.

No blairsville people didn't cry about Robinson, they know that's football. But I just hate when people on here are going to say the westpac beat "heritage's best" when portage was on the verge of getting blown out in the 1st quarter when Robinson went down. Take kephart off this portage team they probably lose 2 or 3 more games this year!

Portage played a very very good game last night! And I do believe coach gouse not being there had a positive impact on their team.

But hey the westpac are celebrating a 14 point loss like a win. Shows a lot about their expectations!
