Simon stepped up in the big games and Gdula didn't???? Why don't we compare what they both did against Central Cambria?

I think going into next year its 1A and 1B for Gdula and Simon. Stats say a lot, and neither one of them had bad stats. Moldy, Trojan fans seem to have trouble to admit anyone else is good besides kids from Johnstown. 1 taste of success and their heads inflated to hot air balloons.

I am from FH first of all, however when I watched all of the kids play this season and projecting what they might do next season. I still say Barzdo will be the most impactful player in the LHAC. If you look at Johnstown, they could probley get away with loosing on of thoes players from thier team. Williams will most likley be the best defensive player, I just don't see a great all around game. If you watch film on him, they let him blitz alot. He dosn't have a large role in the teams defense(regarding coverages). I actually don't like to say a qb is the biggest impact player, for the fact that he only plays one way. I just see Gdula be a hugh impact on the teams succes.

Gervon had no running game to supplement him such as Gdula did, having arguably the best backfield in FH history. They drew 8-9 people in the box against every team, Jtown was the opposite.



Apparently you guys weren't at the FH South Fayette game, there were times FH ran a Twins formation (2 recievers on one side, tight end on the back side) and south fayette managed 10 in the box somehow. Not just knocking Gdula, the pass blocking was never there either. But without guys like Dudukovich and Mcombie Gdula will suffer alot in my opinion

Simon loses Anderson and Watson and they still don't have a Back.

Thing that separates Simon would be is, he is his own leading rusher. He can create and make his own plays. He'll still have 2-3 of his receivers from last year, and they are very athletic(Williams, Minter and someone else I believe).....So Gervon gets away with a lot of screens and bad passes, because his guys can go get it. But nonetheless he could easily be the top player in the league, you wouldn't get much of an argument from me. But Gdula was still a big part of the success last year. That Backfield benefited from the threat of a passing game just the same as he benefited from the rushing attack, they worked hand in hand. Gdula made some big throws and had a 27-3 TD to Int ratio. Thats pretty good. We can't take that away from him.


So Its pick your poison? A drop back thrower or an athlete that can ran and throw. Both can burn you.

I like Tom Brady over M. Vick. That's just me. Vick can kill you any given game. He can be shut down too.

Are you really comparing the FH qb to Tom Brady and the JHS qb to Mike Vick? Really?

One taste of success? Johnstown has never had success before? Geez, I know you're young so maybe a history lesson is in order for you.

I know of the powerhouse teams of the 40s 50s 60s 70s. Heard all the stories, and all the lore. Were you around for all of those?

Because current history tells me that the 90's and 2000's wasn't the Glory Days of Trojan Football history, wouldn't you agree?

I always hear Steeler fans talking about 6 Super Bowls when 4 of them were in the 70's.

In 1990 JHS advanced to the WPIAL semi-final against Hopewell. The previous week they knocked the #1 team in the state in AAA Brownsville 20-3. In 1991 they advanced to the WPIAL quarterfinals losing to Montour 28-27. That year they also had the AAAA/AAA player of the year, Brian Mangiafico. Still the best high school football player I've ever seen in person.

Aren't those the early 90's?

Just because you were still pooping yellow doesn't make it any less relevant.
