PA Football Playoff solution

Ok, with all the same complaining about pub vs private this time of year and transfers etc. Not too many solutions offered other than separating pubs and private schools. How bout this? Go back to 4 classifications by enrollment. Then after week 12 or so have a committee rank the top 8 teams in state any class and have a 3 round playoff. The rest of the teams would reseed and still play out a 1A-4A state playoffs and crown state champs for each classification with an additional "PA HS Playoff Champ." This would take the top privates out of the state playoffs and the pubs with the most talented transfers each year whoever that was that year :).


Huck would chair committee.

Would be a blast watching the debates and heads exploding over strength of schedule, 2 loss teams, etc. And what playoff that would be this year.

Don't read into hypothetical rankings as preditctions

2017 eight could be:

SJP
PR
Wood
ECP
Harrisburg
Coatesville
Manheim Township
Imhotep

5A Final 4

Gateway vs Manheim Central Where have we seen this team before. Coach Williams is back in true form. Sorry, I don't know anything about Gateway. I don't mean to diss them.

Unionville vs Arch Wood Congrats to Unionville on their district title. I'm not sure if this is their first or they have won in the past. They're going up against one of the best teams in the state any class.

Wednesday Night Check-In

I think MDW is done with his bucket list, the problem now is North Penn has been eliminated earlier than expected. As a CR guy, I envy his situation not making it to the D1 final.

I will be watching Coatesville-Garnet Valley on the video stream Friday night.

Saturday I'm off to Frank Banko Field at BASD Stadium, the best high school facility in eastern PA for St Joe Prep and Parkland.

An open invitation to all Prep fans, stop in Roosevelt's Pub for the pre-game and say hello. First round is on me!
