? cupcakes? the wpial schedules bad opponents for bad 6A teams- most of 6A in the last 4-5 years, can't handle any tougher. There are many things that 6A could do to get better- but imo other than NA and PCC, they dont really care. You gotta realize that the "wpial" for the most part, IS the schools. The "voting and decision making" is done by "member schools." For the most part, most HSs want the "easier route" and dont want to have to "go find opponents." If wpial 6A really wanted to, they could try harder to set their own rules and GET BETTER

new, ive defended ek many times over the years- but im hearing he's had some personal character issues this year- maybe it's time for him to retire from being a head coach? maybe take a year off- this year- might not even have a winning record, yipes

no clue but whatever the number is, I'm sure they could've reached it if the wpial didn't schedule cupcake non conference games with teams from smaller classes

now all the boys that aren't good at football can change genders and play flag football

people will say Mt. Lebabon stinks because Palko left

in reality he left because he knew they would stink

I’m sure every school has their examples, but the great tragedy of this in Easton is Chanelle Price never got to play sanctioned flag football.

Chanelle set the national high school girls record in the 800, ended up an NCAA runner-up, part of a world record 4x800 relay team, indoor world champion in the 800, and took 5th at Olympic trials. She’s also the most physically imposing 800 runner ever. If you’re making a top 5 Easton athletes ever, she’s in it and she’s not 5.

Her brother was a Big 33 cornerback on the ‘04 Easton team that went to the 4A Eastern Final. Very much a football family, but only had one boy. Easton plays one flag football game a year, against P’Burg the Monday before Thanksgiving, and I think Chanelle averaged 60 yards per catch and scored ten touchdowns. One of the most impressive athletic performances I have ever seen with absolutely no stakes involved. She’d be the Derrick Henry of PA girls flag football if she had a full career.

It's always good to see local athletes doing well. Allie Wilson stopped by at last weeks Radnor game. I think she's going to get better for LA.

PCC may win WPIAL because teams are bad. But that doesn’t mean they can compete at the state level.

They are beating little sisters of the poor now. And don’t say they beat woody. All name now.

I think it’s safe to say now that PCC has declined since the 2010s. Going on 4 years since winning the WPIAL title even with 6A being in it’s most watered down state. Didn’t go more than a season without winning from 13-21. The new staff still seems to be trying to establish their identity/culture as well.

Some notes:
Norwin played NA hard

Mt. Lebanon going 0-10 3 years after going 15-0 would be crazy to see

Seneca has had a falloff in the 20s decade

Central should be the wpial favorite currently

Lebo was never a serious year to year program. They had Palko and a great senior class he developed over a few years, they were pretty mediocre for a long time before that with a few decent seasons sprinkled in. Now they are currently on their third coach in as many years. Might be another 20 years again before they are in that conversation again.

Seneca didn’t fall off, they were never even “there” to begin with imo. Besides those two Cinderella runs to the wpial championship in two years, they haven’t done much else in school history. Their “best senior class in school history” couldn’t even make the post season in watered down 6A a couple years ago. They badly need fresh blood in the coaching staff imo. They’ve pretty much gone back and fourth between Dave vestal and Ron Buschle as HC the past 20 years with a stint from Don Holl in between when his sons played. Holl had a decent thing going about a decade ago with the program, but his sons graduated and I don’t think he was popular with some parents if I remember correctly. It’s a huge district that isn’t devoid of talent, I feel like the right staff could get something going one day and actually compete with NA/PCC. Buschle is currently pretty mid and has been for a few years.

I didn’t see that coming. At least not the margin of victory.

Sorry I missed this, a little out of pocket this week. I really felt like West not only had a shot, but would win. Crushing way for it to end. Still could have (should have?) won even with the bad call on 4th and goal that was ruled, incorrectly, short of the goal line. Held South under 100 yards rushing which was the recipe to pull the upset.

Congrats, huge win. Rolling now…

Senneca released from the hospital after some tests and expected to be fine. Met the team bus back at Easton High School

285 yards from Day and Dorian Thomas combined.

Will Day picks off a third down pass in the end zone!!! Rovers beat Emmaus on the road and move to 4-1 with a 28-21 OT win

Huge holding penalty moves Emmaus back to the 20

Easton scored on their first possession in OT. Will Day goes over 160 yards with a run down to the 2. Helmet pops off. Dorian Thomas subs in and scored from 2 yards out.

Overtime on Cedar Crest Boulevard

HE MISSED IT!!!!!!!

Pass to the 18. Emmaus going to kneel the clock out and kick.

Flip a pass to Bechtel out of the backfield, he gets tripped up at the 4. Emmaus centers it and will kick.
