THE IUP Football Thread

I saw that on Twitter, too. But Tuesday is the day to announce final rosters, and from what I have seen on various media sites, the Jets haven't announced theirs yet. In fact, there are a couple sites that posted projected rosters and they don't have Irvin projected to make the team.

The Jets roster linked on Tort's tweet had 80 players on it. Maybe some folks know the final cuts ahead of time?

I don't know offhand if it's true for the three schools you mentioned, but enrollments are dropping at many Pa.. schools, and the WPIAL and Pennsylvania football as a whole ain't what they used to be. State championships are probably increasingly going to to schools such as the large Philadelphia Catholic schools who and some of the smaller private schools who recruit from a larger base than most publics, and Pa. under its current playoff system is happy to let them trounce overmatched opponents.

The move to six classifications hurt the WPIAL and has devastated rural schools. Many small publics are going up against the small SEPA privates and its not going well. In the WPIAL, enrollment is only stable/growing in the "outer ring" suburbs that are on the Allegheny County perimeter and adjacent to interstate. I live in Avonworth, which was single A in the old system, but has doubled in recent years and is 3A in the new system benefitting from undeveloped land between I-79 and I-279.

Off-topic but it wasn't a pretty week for the traditional powers in the WPIAL.

Pine-Richland lost at home, 42-0. Pittsburgh Central Catholic and Thomas Jefferson also both got blown out. All three played powerful programs from other states.

My last count the WPIAL went 1-7 this weekend against out of league teams.

Avonworth (WPIAL 3A) beat Grove City (District 10) 27-7. Was that your lone win?

Irvin Charles made the Jets roster. Awesome.

That's nice. Chiefs still haven't released their final 53 so no word on former Edinboro OL Vitaliy Gurman making their team.
