CENTRAL- competing LHAC

[Bedrock]

I don't think they dominated the Big 8 in the 90's.

I think they have a drug problem in Central.

When they play teams they get drug all over the field.

Anyone else hear Marino say that about the Browns earlier this year? Classic!!

great one-liner bam-bam!

Central people it seems to me to have a reality problem. Central never dominated anything in football in the Big 8, heck they wouldn't even have dominated the ICC because Bellwood and BG would beat them every year. Baseball and Baketball are sports they can compete in year in and year out. But rarely will they win a title in these sports just compete and I don't see them winning the LHAC in football ever.

Central better get out fast or the season they had in football this year is as good as it gonna get and assuming you can beat Claysburg every year which I highly doubt.

LHAC is way to much for central they would be better off not playing at all bc it makes there school look bad


.......thats my opinion

Central's move to the LHAC has been a complete disaster for several reasons. The reality is that the "Varsity" football program was in a downward spiral prior to the move, and the current situation has only accelerated things. If you look at defensive stats for the past 2 years, Central has been terrible with their scoring defense and rushing defense ratings at or near the bottom of not only the LHAC, but also the area. If you can't play tough defense you aren't going to win many games in any conference.

On the other hand the past 2 years the Junior High program has adjusted to the move to the LHAC and has demonstrated their ability to be competitive with the FH, CC, BM and BC's

At best, Central Varsity program may become a .500 team over the next 2-3 years but this will be extremely difficult with the existing head coach.

Never dominated in the big 8? Our last few years in the big 8 weren't great, i will agree with that, but look at the big picture. Centrals Overall record as a school is 224-193-13. Numerous Big 8 titles, Im not sure of the amount, but im sure central won at least 2 district six championships, and this isnt the first time central had a string of bad years, from 1984-1989, central's highest best season was 4-6, in 1989, then the next year, 1990, central went an outstanding 10-2. though the next 2 seasons were a medeocre 5-5(1991), then an awful 1-9(1992), central posted a .500 or above record up until 1999, where the central of today was "born."
Central Will Turn it around in the next few years, with the improving of the program, and the talent coming up in the system, i think central will be one of the top teams in the laurel highlands for years to come.

HMMMM i beg to differ with that. They might I say they might be a middle of the pack team but they wont compete for a title any time soon. Now if u are talking 8 - 10 years from now then yes maybe but not in next 5-6 years will not happen.

[southpaw]

I agree with you noname. A record barely over .500 isn't much to brag about.

Central at best might be the best of the have nots in the LHAC but I don't see anything in the near future that going to change the heirarchy of the best teams of the LHAC in football.

One more thing HellowhateverCHS in case you don't know what dominates means: to tower over, to rise above, to rule or control by power or influence- sound like Central football? I didn't think so. Sounds more like Tyrone the last 10 years or Forest Hills or Huntingdon. To dominate is to have successive great seasons to be a perennial power not to have a good season every 10 years or so. Does that clear it up?

[snatchity6]

central never has...and most liekly never will be a good football school
