Pennsylvania high school football is broken.
Or a charter school with a male enrollment of about 200 and, weirdly, about 90 of them are D1 level athletes
Go figure. And the Crooked PIAA sits there and doesn't do a damn thing about it. These kids playing for public schools who never had a chance in hell and didn't understand why. The Holidaysburg game made me sick to my stomach: I personally know the coach and he put the best team ever in their history on the field only to be boat raced by a team of mercenaries. The PIAA needs to be investigated.
On a whim went to look here to see if there was any chatter on the playoff game, as I was pretty excited for Easton’s first quarter since 2010.
SL really broke this one open. I thought it would be much closer.
Yeah, I was happy to see that. I have observed in other sports kids jumping between BG, Holidaysburg, and Altoona from season to season.
Did Steckert break RC Lagomarsino's Champ Game rushing record of 353 yds and 4 TDs?
I dont believe he got that many yards. But im not certain.
That was so satisfying that Clairton beat down that team full of mercenaries. It's an absolute joke: They literally take every single talent from Altoona, Holidaysburg, Tyrone, Bellwood Antis, and every single other school within 25 miles of Altoona. They also have clout with the PIAA that keeps their crooked program in single A, while Aliquippa is punished by having to play 4A with close to the same enrollment.
Never thought back in the day I'd see my old high school win a football state title. Good work fellows!
Further than 25 miles. They had a kid or two from Huntingdon/Bedford counties over the years.
Over the past decade, they have sort of evolved into an athletic power. I remember playing against them 30+ years ago and they were a solid class A or smaller AA team, but not quite at this level.
