I know this has been discussed from time to time . Im sure there are many varied reasons ,but I was curious why Penn State has not focused here with any great interest for a few years. John Reid,Ryan Bates and Shaka Toney are the only Philly guys on the roster recently , while my recent recollection is two going to Clemson[ incl this years commit], Barmore from Neuman /Gorreti to Alabama ,Swift, Webb and this year Juedy from Northeast to Georgia ,tight end from Wood to Florida and two from the Prep this year to Ohio State. Did they change their area recruiter ?? This of course are just samples from around here while there are numerous others around the state that also choose to play elsewhere. It appears to me that PSU is not as aggressive here in lieu of going to other areas such as Michigan and Florida. Maryland and Virginia were always hotbeds for the Lions. Since the high school season is still on hold I wanted to talk about something that may be of interest to psu followers. Any thoughts ??

I saw that SJP is looking for a game in October because of a cancellation. I'm guessing Ryan has dropped from the Red to the Blue division. Can anyone confirm?

I do this every couple years to honor the memory of four brother vets, classmates and friends from Gettysburg who paid the ultimate price.

John Holoka, Marine CPL, L Co, 3rd BN, 5th Marines, Rifleman. John died 22 Jul 66 in Quang Tri Province, KIA Operation Hastings forcing the NVA back across DMZ. John volunteered for a mission with 2 weeks to go wanting to be with his brothers in Lima Co. Died of wounds while medevacking out. An upperclassman I idolized. Took time to help us young ones along on the field where he stood out. John was an all-around good guy.
https://app.nimia.com/video/187355/marines-talk-about-operation-hastings-and-prarie-i
Larry Brent, Army SP4, A Battery, 6th BN, 77th Artillery, Field Artillery-infantry support. Larry died 16 Jan 68, Hau Nghia Province, Non-Hostile fire. Always felt sorry for Larry who battled with his mixed ethnicity but tolerated my lusting after his sister. We had some laughs.
Robert Kessel, Marines LCPL, D Co, 1st BN, 4th Marines, Machine Gunner-Heavy, died 20 Jan 67, Quang Tri Province, KIA, mortar attack. Tough MOS for a little guy like Bobby humping 70 lbs through the bush, but he had a big heart and was fearless.
Richard Sietz, Navy PO3, USS Forrestal, TF 7, 7th Fleet, Aviation Boatswain's Mate 3rd Class, Rich died 29 Jul 67, Gulf of Tonkin in the fire that killed 134 sailors aboard the Forrestal. Like John, Rich was strong as a bull, a typical quiet guy from rural America.

Ted Siilary listed 50 "most memorable PCL Playoff Games": http://www.tedsilary.com/CLbestplayoffs2009-20.htm

It lists basketball and baseball games as well as football ones. One obvious omission was the LaSalle victory over SJP in the 2009 football final at Northeast--a great game. Ted includes all four other close wins by LaSalle over SJP between 2006 and 2015, but he doesn't include one single win by SJP over LaSalle--or anyone else. I get it that nearly all the Prep wins were by medium to large margins, but the 2013 victory was a very good game that should have been included. If I'm not mistaken, it was one of the first games where Swift showed something very special. It was also the game where Chris Martin helped seal the deal by throwing a block (on a wide run by Swift?) that knocked him out of the city championship the following week.

Sitting here watching the MLB network replay game 6 of the 1980 World Series when the Phils won their first championship.

On the ticker below I noticed two PA kids are projected to go in the top 14 picks. First is OF Austin Hendrick from West Allegheny and the second is RHP Nick Bitsko from Central Bucks East. Anyone have some insight on these two prospects? Good to see PA represented.

Combining school districts. Maybe the Covid crisis will speed this up with districts combining to save money. The fact that the WPIAL barely has enough schools to field a 6A playoff is troubling. Time for a mass consolidation for the WPIAL. There should be half of the schools they have now , with the population decline time to pool resources
