You'll have a true public champion and a true private champion. You can't have a true overall champion when some participants are playing by different...

LOL. Sorry if I wasn't strong enough on it for you. Cynical covers a lot of ground, as any reading of H.L. Mencken will show....

[Ship69]

If you have separate playoffs, obviously the winner of the tournament for boundary schools is the best in that category in Pa. Same with the winner of...

[Ship69]

Yeah, it's pretty hard not to be cynical about the process at this point....

[Ship69]

Well, a 178-23 bipartisan vote on anything is a level of "endorsement" almost unheard of these days. It would seem to be a strong suggestion...

[Ship69]

That sort of thing doesn't work nearly as well outside large urban areas, where a kid can travel to another school simply by changing his bus route. The...

C'mon, now. We all would have been thrilled to watch Pearl's 17-16 Auburn team tear up the tourney, right?...

[Ship69]

So you're saying poor school districts like Aliquippa, Clairton, Steelton and Harrisburg won't be able to complete with other public schools in their...

It's a shame. As far as undercoached, we've seen D2 coaches move up the ranks and be very successful in football and basketball. A lot of guys at the...

Nailed it. The days of seeing star big men such as Ethan Porterfield and Dustin Sleva stay around for four years are likely over for us. And the more...

It's not the only reason, but I'd sure say it's the biggest as they're located in an urban area that is by far the largest in Pa. And as you say the easy...

Apparently there was a fire at a nearby electrical relay station. My borough just had a water main break about a half-block from my house. Our infrastructure...

There are a lot of tall guys who seem to think they are three-point shooters now. Some of them actually can shoot them, some can't. Some guys don't seem...

It always kills me that people who tell me baseball is boring will sit and watch guys read names for three hours. Televised golf is exciting in comparison....

[Ship69]

One of the few areas of consistency you'll find in FBI crime statistics over the years is that crime is highest in poor urban areas. It has been for years,...

Interesting about Waters, who has already made a weird journey from Millersville to Slippery Rock and then back to Millersville....

[Ship69]

I think a lot of people are probably there with you. I hope the new coach at Ship will get something going and wish him the best, but here we go into...

That's a long way from the PSAC....

[Ship69]

Where did this come from? I don't subscribe to X and some of the other sites....

Didn't see that one coming. He seemed pretty happy at Ship, but did sit out most of one season with injury and might have wanted to explore elsewhere....
