That works out sometimes. Gino Fortebuono wrestled at Easton, state champ in 2001. Won Reno, Ironman, Beast of the East, ranked like #8 nationally at 130 his senior year. Steve Powell will tell you he’s on the shortlist for most talented kids he had in 40 years of coaching. Super wide open and fun to watch too. Anyway, Gino had a ton of D1 offers out of Easton, but passed them all up to go to film school in New York. Totally gave up wrestling. He was a different cat. I see his name every so often in credits on Netflix, I think he’s carved out a nice little career.Jay Harris from Downingtown East in 2013 always comes to mind for me. He was one of the most dynamic playmakers I’ve ever seen in high school football. He had a full ride to play at Michigan State but decided in May before graduation that he would… become a rapper! That lasted all of 6 months before he decided to sign with Western Michigan but then decided his true calling was the rapping life so he left after being there for two months.
i think both were involved in the same situationDipre was the one I remember who got busted with the juice.
crazy- apparently "court was in session" today, in Beaver County Court- as per Pgh media- Harlan-trib and White-PG. Crazy. If they "stay" for now? That would require changing like 20-30 team schedules??We'll see what's left of St. Joe's after St. Eds pounds them. Hope they survive. And about the Quips. I doubt they get out of the West and maybe not the Wpial with a big surprise lurking.

he picked Pitt over Miami when Miami was the big powerhouse in college football back in 2001
I think he got busted with steroids at Pitt, and then ended up in prison for armed robbery
i wonder if he's still in prison today
who can forget him punting the basketball into the rafters when the quips lost the basketball state championship, he punted better than Pressley Harvin
Benjamin tried to play football at Clarion but I don't remember him doing much. He looked the part but he seemed kinda slow.Another Erie guy from when I was in school was Roosevelt Benjamin for erie central. He was on those 93 and 94 teams that made it to the western finals. The 94 team lost to eventually champs McKeesport 13-14. Benjamin was getting recruited by lots of major D1 schools but they found drugs in his locker. He went on to star as a starting basketball player on those 90s George Junior teams that were so talented. As good as a basketball player he was he was an even better football player. Later on after highschool he ended up getting in trouble again and eventually arrested for selling drugs to an undercover agent in a giant drug sting in Erie. To this day I say he was one of the best athletes to ever come out of Erie.
I don't think he got in trouble, he just didn't want to play footballBrian Davis RB Wash High
That really is a pronounced drop off. Add to that the fall of North Penn and Pennsbury (Abington?) to see how dramatically the SOL has declined recently. The Skins and Knights WERE the SOL for years!Mole, I didn’t realize how severe the recent struggles were; 10-20 over 3 years is rough for a program with that kind of tradition. What’s the outlook on the 24 squad? Will they right the ship?
SJP will still mercy rule them unless they get lucky like PR and Mt. Lebanon and play them when they are young and rebuildingNext stop St. Joes Prep. Lets go Quips
