Prep - Imhotep

Of course, TEP has the whole city of Philadelphia from which it can draw players. Do they sometimes also get players from outside the city limits?

Would the boundaries vs. no boundaries issue be nearly as contested if it weren't for SJP? If people have no great objections to PCC, McDevitt, Scranton Prep, or Bethlehem Catholic playing boundary schools in the playoffs, then it's not really a matter of principle. (I understand some people want all of them out.)

Wanting separate playoff classifications for boundary and non-boundary schools is a reasonable position to take. My points are 1) that it would be a logistical nightmare, especially for many non-boundary schools 2) that the consequences might not be what many imagine they will be, and 3) that the pre-occupation of some to get SJP out--and maybe the other non-boundary schools too--is making it hard for them to see some of the trends and realities that have given rise to the present situation.
Would be boring to separate boundary and non-boundary and unfulfilling for all. Keep system as is and accept it. SJP is just so far ahead its tough to catch up. Not much any boundary school can do, just have to accept it and put best foot forward. No amount of weight room, extra work will get you there. You have to get special team to compete but even if that happens once out of every 5-10 years makes it that much more special for that team if they can win it all when it does happen.

Such a shame for the boundary school programs. O’Doyle Rules Football doesn’t do anyone any good.

Prep - Imhotep

This should be an interesting match-up in no small part due to the unknowns. Admittedly, I have not had the opportunity to watch ‘Tep play this year. I do know that they have a history of fielding teams with several notable D1 prospects. In the past, a lack of discipline, resulting in killer penalties, has been their biggest self-imposed obstacle. I haven’t read about those same issues this year, though. If their strength is their run game, then I’d have to think that Prep’s stout D-line and overall speed on the defense should help limit damage from big plays. If they have speed and talent at all skill positions, then this may pose significant problems. Moreover, if ‘Tep can get pressure and limit time for a young QB, then we’re going to have a ball game. I’m curious to hear from others about this match-up and what you expect to see.
Prep over Tep 42-0

District 11 Finals: Parkland Trojans (10-2) vs. Emmaus Green Hornets (10-2)

If I’m being honest, it’s Freedom who had the best chance to pull an upset. Most balanced offense, big and athletic on the offensive line, a couple good FCS kids on top of depth. But season ending injuries to an All State linebacker (Lafayette commit Justin Peluso), their leading tackler, a 6’4 280 offensive lineman with FCS offers, and their starting safety was too much to overcome in the Parkland rematch. Easton was probably next in line with their set of receivers, but biffed too many red zone opportunities against Emmaus in a game where they had 430 yards of total offense but only 19 points.

But I’ve been wrong before.

D1 Scores

It WAS 100% third down.
Not sure how CB West let that go. HC and maybe AD should have been on the field holding up the game until they got it right.

That being said, the clock would have long ago expired if DWest didn’t get pass happy up 28-10.

Interesting coaching on both sides. DWest throwing instead of running the clock. CB West just continuing to run QB Left/QB Right when they had 23 on their team.

Wpial champions prediction 2024 playoffs

I watched the game on TV, there seemed to be a lot of kids crying and they showed the crowd and USC fans were leaving early

PT was my preseason pick, but I picked USC when the playoffs began because they really seemed to handle PT a few weeks ago

PR back in it again and I would say they are the favorite considering they beat Bethel Park more convincingly than PT and USC did, guess Kasper wasn't needed

you going to the game tomorrow?
Pretty satisfying tbh. That’s a team of punks. Kids from that team have been talking mad shit all season, in person and on Twitter/X through fake accounts, the fans aren’t much better. Haven’t won anything in nearly 2 decades! And certainly not changing anytime soon

USC has to be sick right now, lose 7-3 and the only td was a kick return
