Is PA changing our setup so that every kid gets a trophy?

Was expanding to 6 classes necessary or would re-defining the current 4 class structures have worked? The new distribution goes as follows:
  • 1A 1-147
  • 2A 148-209
  • 3A 210-300
  • 4A 301-409
  • 5A 410-607
  • 6A 608+
So this is telling me that we needed a separate class between 1A and 2A for roughly 50 extra students. A jump from 2A -3A and 3A-4A for for roughly 100 students each. Seems to me that keeping out current setup and having a split around 200 kids each would have been just as effective. That would have given you:
  • 1A 1-209
  • 2A 210-409
  • 3A 410-607
  • 4A 608+
Call me old school but I think our kids should learn the reality that you have to compete to get to the top. I'm not a fan of the every participant gets the same rewards structure that our kids are pampered with today.

D11/2/4 Big School Power Ranking

Tonight is the biggest night of the year in the D11/2/4 subregional. Freedom and Parkland meet in a possible EPC South championship game. Liberty and Easton renew their rivalry in another showcase game for the Hurricanes. Delaware Valley and Scranton meet in a likely elimination game for the second D2 spot in the subregional playoff. And Stroudsburg and Bethlehem Catholic match up in the EPC North championship game for the second straight year.

1. Wyoming Valley West (7-0)
This Week: A ho-hum 33-0 shutout by the Spartans against Crestwood. Sean Judge had another massive night, rushing for 100 yards on 9 carries, returning a punt for a touchdown, and throwing a touchdown pass to quarterback Aaron Austin on a trick play. WVW led only 7-0 at halftime, but the third quarter punt return really opened things up.

What’s Their Ceiling: I think I’m the high man on WVW this year, but this is a team that could challenge the D12 rep if they make it out of the subregional because of their size and physicality on the offensive and defensive lines.. Nobody in this region is as big as SJP, but the Spartans come close, and they’re not just slugs. Bleich, Wesneski, and Reese are all Division I football players. And on offense, they’re a multidimensional attack with an accurate quarterback behind that big o-line. Judge and Devon Weidman aren’t the same kind of skill players that SJP or LaSalle would present (Wesneski at tight end on the other hand, is a as good as anybody in Pennsylvania), but they’re very good high school football players who can make a difference at running back and receiver. Their big challenge to overcome will be the lack of challenges they see before the subregional tournament. They’ll be underdogs if they advance, no doubt, but they’d belong in the game.

Next Week: The Spartans take on the Hazleton Cougars led by workhorse running back Adrien Otero. Nobody has been able to run on WVW all year, and while the 215 pound sophomore is a load to bring down, WVW can hit him in waves. Offensively, Hazleton has struggled with the top opponents on their schedule, and the Spartans should get into the 30s yet again.

2. Freedom (7-0)
Last Week: Freedom boatraced Whitehall, slowly pulling away throughout the course of the game in a 29-6 win. The big news though is that quarterback Joe Young suffered a lower leg injury and is questionable for this week’s match up with Parkland. In his place, Johan Gundrum rushed for 82 yards in the second half and two touchdowns. Defensively, Freedom was excellent again, forcing two turnovers and holding the Zephyrs to 41 rushing yards on 27 carries.

What’s Their Ceiling: Hard to tell. If everything is clicking and everybody is healthy, this is the best team in the subregional. But they’ve already lost their star running back for the year and now their quarterback is banged up. I’m still waiting for Joe Young to have that breakout game, he’s been solid, but I think there is even more in there if he’s healthy. f they had one more elite skill player, particularly at receiver, I’d say this is a team that could go far. The defense has been that good, giving up more than one offensive TD one time this season (a 31-27 win over Nazareth). They allow 2.3 yards per carry and are plus 11 in turnover margin. The defensive line is excellent, highlighted by 6’4 270 pound d-end Cordell Cotto, and being solid up front always gives you a punchers chance.

Next Week: Freedom hosts Parkland in our EPC Game of the Week

3. Liberty (6-1)
Last Week: Liberty trudged through a 28-18 win over Northampton. The scored was tied at halftime and the Hurricanes needed a pair of Gunner Anglovich touchdowns to stretch their lead heading into the fourth. Northampton actually outgained the Hurricanes, 226-215 and had a shot thanks to three Liberty turnovers. Although they’re 1-6, the Konkrete Kids have been a tough out, and despite their flaws they can really stop the run (they’ve now held Easton, Freedom, and Liberty under 100 yards rushing this year).

What’s Their Ceiling: Liberty’s best is better than anybody else’s best in the area. If they could put it together for six straight weeks, this is a team that could accidentally win a state title. They have a four year starter at quarterback with the deepest stable of receivers in the Valley, including a Power 5 conference recruit in Darian Street, a three pronged rushing attack, an offensive line that averages 250 across, and an a talented, fast defense. But for as good as they can look on any given night (or in any given quarter) it is consistency that will be their downfall. In the first two and a half quarters against Becahi and Parkland, they outscored two of the better teams in the state 77-20. They somehow managed to almost lose both of those games, but held on at the end for one score wins. They can’t fall asleep at the switch like that in playoff games, and something like that is going to bite them along the way. Only Nazareth has taken advantage of those prolonged periods of bad football so far, but you can’t play deep into the postseason like that.

This Week: Liberty takes on Easton at BASD Stadium. Like Parkland, Liberty should be able to physically overmatch Easton at the point of attack. Defensive linemen Jaohne Duggans (250), Devon Linderman (270), and Livan Diaz (255) overwhelmed Parkland’s offensive line for much of their meeting two weeks ago and should be able to be even more dominant against the smaller Easton front. Their defense has been susceptible to receivers who can stretch the field, but Easton doesn’t really have that element to their offense. On the other side of the ball, their offense versus the Easton defense should be a great chess match. If they take care of the ball, they should prevail in this one.

4. Parkland (6-1)
Last Week: Parkland is simply better than Easton. The Trojans flexed their muscle early with an 18 play, 98 yard touchdown drive that stretched across the first and second quarter. They converted a pair of first downs, and it became obvious that they could get five yards running Devante Cross over the left side any time they wanted. That TD was Parkland’s only score until seven minutes left in the game. Easton had their second long drive of the second half and kicked a field goal to cut the margin to 7-3. On the ensuing drive, Cross hit Nick Suriel on a crossing route and he turned it upfield for a 26 yard gain. Then on the next play, Cross had one-on-one coverage with Yeboah, and threw an absolute rainbow for a 33 yard touchdown. Easton’s corner actually had pretty good position to box out Yeboah, but he just went right over the poor kid and put him on a poster. Parkland added the final score with 1:36 left, when after an Easton interception, Eric DiGiralomo ripped off a 60 yard run against the demoralized Easton defense down to the 6. Then on 4th and goal, Parkland hit Yeboah on another jump ball to account for the final margin. Defensively, the Trojans forced six turnovers and held Easton to just three points on three trips in the red zone.

What’s Their Ceiling: Parkland is the favorite to win the subregional tournament, but I think that is as far as they go. Despite their talent advantage against Easton, they led by just four points with seven minutes remaining. Sixty of their 175 rushing yards came on one carry after the game had been decided. They have a bunch of big receivers who Cross can hit in the short passing game, but they don’t really have a way to stretch the defense other than throw a jump ball to Yeboah when there isn’t safety help. Against a team like SJP, who has a big, fast, and talented secondary, only being able to throw the ball 5 or 10 yards downfield isn’t going to cut it, particularly when you don’t have a threat in the run game other than the quarterback. And while the defense shut down Easton’s running game, when facing a Liberty offensive line that could match their physicality, they were gashed for 320 yards on the ground. They have a difference maker at quarterback, and that can carry them, but I don’t think there’s enough around Cross to beat the Philly Catholic rep.

This Week: Parkland plays Freedom in our EPC Game of the Week.

5. Nazareth (5-2)
This Week: Nazareth took care of East Stroudsburg North, 41-6 in an cross division match up. A pair of early fumbles converted into touchdowns gave the quick strike Blue Eagles an almost insurmountable lead against the triple-option ESN team. Travis Stefanik was excellent again, completing 11 of 14 passes for 136 yards and 3 TDs (all three to Jahan Dotson) and rushing for another 119 yards a 2 TDs.

What’s Their Ceiling: Nazareth certainly can win a playoff game, but I think that’s as far as they get. They’re a tough first round match up because of their extreme speed at receiver and the excellent play of their quarterback. But there are enough weaknesses (rush defense chiefly) that as the competition gets tougher I don’t think they can string together a bunch of wins in a row.

This Week: The Blue Eagles host Whitehall, who is reeling after consecutive losses to Liberty, Parkland, Easton, and Freedom. Because of their talent at quarterback, the Zephyrs are dangerous (and sophomore receiver Desmond Boykin is a budding star), but Nazareth is just a little more complete than Whitehall and have the athletes in the secondary to keep Boykin in check.

Top 20: The East AAAA (11-20)

Week 7

11. Freedom 7-0. Well, here they are again, just like last year at 7-0, facing the exact opponents as then, heading down the back stretch to play Parkland, Easton and Liberty. The big difference this year is defense and quarterback Joe Young’s availability for the game, a game he missed last year. The Pats were essentially one dimensional then with Young sidelined for the year, and his replacement completing 7 of 22 passes for 104 yards. Still, Freedom’s defense was close to outstanding ‘tho unsupported, holding Parkland to three scores, and scoreless in the second half of a 21-13 loss. Their bend but don’t break defense allowed 295 yards rushing with total yardage stacked in Parkland’s favor, 440 to 208. While Parkland is similar to last year’s team in points scored and allowed, Freedom shows marked improvement, especially on defense allowing 10ppg compared to 17ppg last year. And with quarterback Joe Young healthy, Parkland will have their hands full, especially coming off the draining Easton game.
12. Easton 5-2. Not much to say about last week’s game with Easton’s self-destructing and Parkland’s stubborn defense leading to a 21-3 collapse. That’s all you can call it when your offense scores 41 points less than their season average, has four interceptions (4!), a fumble and three red zone scoring failures. Add to that a player like Devonte Cross for Parkland who accounted for 237 total yards of offense and a physically superior often dominating team to see the Rovers had no chance. Easton currently holds the 7 seed but another loss could put them on the brink especially with road games at Liberty who currently has the 3 seed, then top seeded Freedom before finishing at home to Nazareth who holds the 5th seed.
13. Perkiomen Valley 7-0. Perkiomen Valley may have turned the corner with this year’s edition if their 51-0 destruction of Boyertown is any indication. The Bears are struggling at 3-4 but 51-0, four first downs and 75 total yards of offense? Meanwhile, Perkiomen Valley was taking care of business, pounding out 219 yards on the ground and 310 through the air. Their very talented back David Williams rushed for 112 yards while quarterback Stephen Sturm was laser sharp, completing 21 of 29 passes for 310 yards. He threw two touchdown passes. The next two weeks see them playing at Phoenixville (2-5) then home to Upper Perkiomen (1-6) before the war with Spring Ford which will be for all the marbles.
14. Spring Ford 7-0. Right off the top the Rams got your attention beating State College (4-3) 28-25. It’s not State’s greatest team but they are competitive, indicitive of Spring Ford’s potential that will likely be realized in the postseason. With stats resembing Perk Val’s above, the Rams handled Owen J. Roberts last week, garnering 21 first downs to their 8, 235 rush yards to OJR’s 70 and 371 total yards to 157 for Roberts. Running backs Selwyn Simpson rushed for 115 yards on 14 carries while Matt Gibson had 105 on 13 carries. QB Rick Venuto continued lighting things up completing 17 of 23 for 136 yards as the Rams rolled, winning 35-14. AAA Pottstown (6-1) is next.
15, Coatesville 4-3. “Don’t be surprised to see a fiercely competitive and aggressive game (track meet?) as Coatesville fights desperately to stay relevant in the Ches Mont National and postseason picture.” That was last week’s thoughts that ring hollow now following the 22-12 loss to Downingtown East. And for the most part, they are out of the postseason picture with roughly half a dozen teams, playoff hopeful teams, positioned between them and the 16th seed. As mentioned in the East write-up above, their 12-7 lead did not hold up in the second half, compounded by losing quarterback Jordan Young to injury for the game. Still, with three winnable games left on the schedule, a 7-3 season is not out of the question. Next up is Avon Grove (West Chester East lite!) at a surprising 4-3 and 2-2 in-conference. Then comes another exciting surprise in the Ches-Mont with Bishop Shanahan (4-3, 2-1) surviving fierce graduation losses to field a competitive team this year. The closer is Rustin (5-2) of the Ches Mont-American who is right on the cusp of qualifying for Districts. So it won’t be easy with all these teams jockeying for postseason positioning.
16. Council Rock South 5-2. At this point in some ways you can call the Hawk’s a veteran team. Last year’s young ones have matured into a solid unit, full of confidence, blowing teams out by an average score of 43-14 and tied with Quakertown atop the Continental at 4-0 on a four game winning streak. Nine points separates them from 7-0 with losses to Pennsbury 13-6 and Neshaminy 27-25, early in the season. They are currently tied with Neshaminy for the 12th seed with good control of their destiny hosting co-leader Quakertown (7-0, 4-0) Friday. Quakertown won a tight one last year 19-7. A glance at their schedule shows this to be their toughest opponent to date while the Hawk’s have been battle tested by the aforementioned teams and a good Central Bucks East (5-2) team. This should be one of the most competitive games of the weekend.
17. Wyoming Valley West 7-0. The Spartans completed their second consecutive shutout blanking Crestwood 33-0. This one wasn’t as easy as the score suggests with Valley West holding a narrow 7-0 halftime lead in a fierce defensive battle. With Crestwood only able to gain 92 yards of offense, the weight of the Spartan attack soon took its toll with 26 second half points to seal the deal. They currently hold the 2nd seed in the D-2/4/11 playoffs that on the surface looks good. But, this year’s field is a highly competitive group meaning their 2 seed will likely draw a dangerous Easton, Stroudsburg or Nazareth team. A home game this week against Hazelton (3-4) should get them a step closer to an undefeated season with road trips to Scranton (4-2) and Williamsport (4-3) remaining.
18. Central Bucks East 5-2. Here’s another good story this year and a mild surprise in the SOL-Continental being a very tough out and competitor for conference honors. At 2-2 it’s an uphill battle but Quakertown or CR South will lose this weekend making things tighter. Incidentally, Council Rock North is still very much in the race at 3-1 (4-3 overall) making the Continental a highly competitive race. Back to East; with a 2-1 road record, an overtime 16-10 win at Pennridge and a close call loss to CR South 32-26, we’re talking about a legitimate team here. They’re at Truman (2-5) Friday who is reeling with four straight losses by a cumulative score of 153 to 30.
19. Pennridge 4-3. Here’s another tough out with the Rams giving just about everyone fits with tight losses to Central Bucks East in ot, and Pennsbury last week 38-32. Only North Penn handled them, winning 31-7. If they have anything left after last week’s all-out, they could run the table, defeating Central Bucks South (3-4), Souderton (3-4) and Bensalem (0-7). As always, CB South is often a tough nut to crack, especially at home. They usually score a lot of points, averaging 30 per game through last week. After that comes Souderton who is an overtime loss to Plymouth Whitemarsh in the opener away from a perfect slate at home. None of these games will be easy.
20. Neshaminy 5-2.The Redskins are sitting right about where they want to be given their two losses and conference record of 3-1 behind co-leaders Pennsbury and North Penn, both 4-0. They’ve won all their road games (4-0) which bodes well with North Penn and Pennsbury lurking downline, but last week set them up for a good finish beating Souderton 21-10. The week before that they beat Central Bucks South 21-14 on the road. While these aren’t overwhelming wins, they are wins and that’s all that matters at this point. In point of fact and while they are not a flashy team, they are a solid team with size and skill on both sides of the line. Quarterback Mason Jones (6-2, 180), only a junior, is getting it down, completing 56 of 106 passes for 798 yards. He’s complimented by receivers with size in Zach Tredway (6-3, 180, jr) with 22 receptions for 384 yards and Denzel Hughes (6-2, 180, sr) with 18 catches for 242 yards. Running back Will Dogba (154 vs Souderton) is a workhorse with 211 carries for 1065 yards. Winless Bensalem is next followed by those road trips to Lansdale and Fairless Hills.

Friday Night Lights (ain't high school ball great)!

All -

I think everybody here knows I'm a dyed-in-the-wool 'Skins fan (hey - when the first words you utter, after "Mommy" and "Dadda", are "Schuh", "Stricker" and "Petercuskie" - and that's just before you dribble out "Van Buren", "Bednarik", "McDonald", Brown" et al. - what do you expect).

Anyway, here's a drone photograph of "Heartbreak Ridge" last Friday night (Homecoming against Souderton). And although that's Neshaminy's field ("my" field), I'm absolutely sure each of us twisted f***s on this Board has their own picture like this and of their team or field or maybe a play or some post-game celebration; a picture that gets the blood flowing and accelerates the heart just a bit as those great memories flood back in (after all, it's one fine game -- and maybe the best -- high school football, that is):

Use this thread to make your picks for Week 7. I will take Haverford, Garnet Valley and Perkiomen Valley.

Biggest game in Pennsylvania thus far

#1 AAAA woodland hills 6-0 plays #3 AAA west Allegheny 6-0. Last year West A won a 43-42 overtime thriller. Woody high has been resting miles sanders and his heel injury the past 2 weeks for this game. Plus almon youngblood and jerimah Jones are back in the line up for the first time all season last week. I think woodland hills athletisism and size will be too much for West A this year. Prediction: 35-31 woody high.

Week 7..............Big games coming up next week

1. UPPER DUBLIN-7-0 Aboslutely dismantled PW who has been exposed as a complete pretender. This Cardinal team is the 3rd best team I've seen but they are undefeated. They will roll into the playoffs Undefeated as they don't have a single tough game left. They wont be a one seed due to the 3 and 2 teams they play.
2. DTE- 7-0 Won a tough game against Coatesville. Got a little help as Villes QB went down. Will he be back?
3. DTW- 7-0 Dropped in my poll for giving up 49 points!!
4. QTOWN- 7-0 Beat a slow west team 28-7
5. SPRINGFORD- 7-0 Continue to take care of business in their week conference. Brubaker has built a nice program
6. PV- 7-0 See Sringford
7. PENNSBURY- 6-1 Was putting an ass beating on a big Pennridge team then they let em back into the game. Pennridge seems to be very undisciplined........Ive seen them three times and in each game they've had 4-5 personal fouls.
8. UPPER DARBY- 6-1 Will get in with 2 loses
9. HAVERFORD 6-1 Ridley only Test left
10. NPENN 5-2 Getting better every week. Will Finish at worst at 7-3 maybe 8-2.
11. NESHAMINY 5-2---Pennsbury is that much better then Neshaminy. Enjoy the time in the top 16 because they are going to finish 6-4
12. CR SOUTH 5-2 Will finish at worst 7-2 maybe 8-2 they are a lock for they playoffs because of their tough non league schedule grabbing them all the bonus points
13 GARNET 5-2 Upper Darby only team left that could give em problems
14. RUSTIN 5-2 Another 7-3 team..............
15. RIDLEY 5-2- Can they get in at 7-3?? Going to be a log jam at the bottom here
16. CB EAST 5-2 Still have a date with qtown looming I put them in the top 16 assuming they beat Norristown who is having eligibility issues (shocker)

1 UD VS EAST UD pastes em 42-7
2 DTE VS RIDLEY DTE rolls 35-7
3 DTW VS RUSTIN DTW big 45-15
4 QTOWN VS GARNET GARNET wins 20-14
5 SPRINGFORD VS CR SOUTH CR SOUTH wins in a shoot out 56-49
6 PV VS NESHAMINY PV hangs 50 on em
7 PENNSBURY VS NPENN PENNSBURY wins the rematch
8 UPPER DARBY VS HAVERFORD UPPER DARY..........GOT ME

For shits and giggles someone finish it out!!

WPIAL AAAA Rankings - Week 7

No changes at the top, Lebo moving up.

1. Woody High: They have a tough run of West A, Lebo, and arch-rival Penn Hills coming up. They can win all of these without Sanders at 100%, but that's a rough three game stretch. Passing game is still suspect and defense will get a test with Lebo who likes to spread the field. Woody's athleticism should make up for that, but its a different look.

2. Penn Trafford: Another ho-hum week in the worst of the 3 AAAA WPIAL Conferences. PT's goal is to not get anyone hurt over the next 4 weeks and study lots of film of possible playoff opponents. Plum could offer some resistance, but PT should be ok.

3. Pine-Richland: While the score didn't indicate it, the PR offense vs. SV was pretty amazing to watch. PA guy announced 450 yards of offense at the half! Jurkovec is the really good and he was getting plays from his receivers and running backs. Defense was solid, but gave up 3 huge plays that led directly to TD's. That has the get better. PR has a terrible Butler team this week and then a huge matchup with Central Catholic next Friday. Finish up the season with Peters Twp.

4. North Allegheny: They close out with Fox Chapel (0-6), Latrobe (0-6) and North Hills (2-4). No injuries, play the JV kids to keep the parents happy, and get ready for the playoffs. And they will probably smack around NH just for fun - onside kicks, fake punts, two points plays.

5. Lebo: I wasn't a believer, but they managed to get the win versus Bethel Park, and from everything I've heard, they are playing hard and seem to believe in what they are doing. I read that this is the first class that didn't learn anything under the old staff, so maybe all their program building is paying off. They should handle North Hills this week, then huge games against Woody and arch-rival Upper St. Clair.

6. Central Catholic: Dropped them a spot because they have been "blah.". Games versus North Hills last week was much closer than the score indicated. 24-7 with a few minutes to go in the 3rd. NH had a bad snap on a punt which led to a TD and the flood gates were opened. Have a huge test this week versus SV. PCC needs to step up and beat a team with a winning record. If SV can score 28-31 points, they can win.

7. McKeesport: Big game this week versus Plum, who lost two incredibly close games to them last year. Plum will be ready, but they are playing at McKeesport. I think McKeesport's offense (even with no passing game) will score enough to get by Plum. (Make no mistake - Plum is improving, but have a way to go yet.)

8. Seneca Valley: Two close games to conference powers NA and PR are contrasted by a loss to Norwin. Offensively, they have alot of weapons and they are solid defensively. The biggest change this year that I noticed is that they play so much harder under the new coach. If they can manage to beat PCC, they will be the third seed from the conference and have a great shot at a home playoff game.

Next 3:
Bethel Park
USC
Plum

Still Hope
Norwin - Have PT and McP left on schedule.

DWest 59 - WC East 49

21-14 after 1st qtr, 38-28 at the half, to say there was no D is an understatement. Scary game to get into with WC East and their 4 yr starting QB Jon Jon Roberts who was 31-40 363 and 4 TD's. Whippet defense after starting out well has slipped a bit the last two weeks. Missing two big d linemen teams are running right through them and if they don't get back to the way they were playing, they're in trouble. WCE has a nice offense with some good skill people and makes last weeks win vs Cville less a fluke. For the Whippets, Barr 6 TD's, over 200 yds total offense; Mattioni 11-14 for 186 2 TD,s and another good physical game from Harper.

Infante is the man

Sometimes it's the Jimmy's and the Joe's. Sometimes it's the x and o's. SJP better then LaSalle both categories. SJP athletes that we ask to come to the school are much better. Gabe does a better job delivering those players. #14 and 15 are nice for LS... Too little too late for the 2015 season. Gordon snoozed for a few years. LS late to the swift walls et al party and are paying for the 3rd year in a row!!

5A District 1 Playoffs (2015 Schedules)

Used the following point system
6A: 120, 5A: 100, 4A: 80, 3A: 60, 2A: 40, 1A: 20 and 10 bonus points per opponents WINS. I haven't read anything about how playoffs will be determined, but figured it would be interesting. Shows how important scheduling will be especially with teams that have a significant amount of non-league contests.

IN
1) Upper Dublin (7-0) 920 points
2) Unionville (5-2) 860 points
3) Academy Park (7-0) 820 points
T4) Upper Moreland (6-1) 780 points
T4) Plymouth Whitemarsh (5-2) 780 points
6) Marple Newtown (6-1) 740 points
7) Garnet Valley (5-2) 730 points
8) WC Rustin (5-2) 690 points

OUT
9) WC East (3-4) 670 points
T10) Great Valley (5-2) 640 points
T10) Radnor (4-3) 640 points
12) Interboro (6-1) 590 points
13 Springfield (3-4) 580 points

Central league schedule

looks like next year the CL is going back to a 9 game league schedule with only one non league game in week 1, and one scrimmage in anticipation of the new 15 week schedule.

They are going to keep the two division concept with all 6A teams ( Upper Darby , Ridley , Haverford and Conestoga ) in the big school division. The remaining 2 teams in the big school division will be made up from the two remaining teams with the best league winning percentage over the last three years. Unless something drastic happens before the end of the season , those top two teams would be Garnet Valley and Springfield. Presumably , the two teams could change every three years based on winning percentage.

I think this is horrible for the 6a squads, but very good for the 5a teams. The 6a teams will only have 3 6a games on the schedule ( 4 if they use the non league opener to play another 6a). It might be hard to make 6a playoffs with 2 losses playing a mandated schedule
Ike that.

It's even worse for Haverford and Upper Darby since they play on Thanksgiving and that game does not factor into district playoff point totals. So those two schools will only play 2 6a league games in the first 10 games. There was a strong push by the league ADs to move that game from Thanksgiving but obvious resistance from the two school involved. Since that game is played after districts , the remaining CL teams lose out on valuable bonus points since that game isn't factored in to point totals. You could also have a situation like this year where both teams are undefeated in league play , but , if either team plays deep into district playoffs the game gets cancelled with no undisputed champ being crowned. Right now , the league has assurances from both teams that the game will be played regardless of district playoff implications so it appears the turkey day game is safe. But look for the league to continue to pressure both teams into moving the game from Thanksgiving and make it part of the regular season schedule.

EPC Game of the Week: Parkland at Easton

Last Time They Met: Seventh seeded Parkland upset 12-0 Easton to win the D11 championship, 13-10 in OT. Parkland used superior special teams, with a blocked punt leading to their only TD, a bad snap on a punt setting up a field goal, and a field goal in OT to win. It was the third straight playoff victory for Parkland over Easton after losing the regular season meeting.

Parkland Leaders
Passing: Devante Cross: 83-133, 1,200 yards, 10 TDs, 4 INTs
Rushing: Devante Cross: 74 carries, 450 yards, 11 TDs
Receiving: Kenny Yeboah: 26 catches, 356 yards, 4 TDs; Nolan Ridgway: 18 catches, 351 yards, 3 TDs

Easton Leaders:
Passing: Trey Durrah: 30-58, 466 yards, 4 TDs, 5 INTs
Rushing: Nysir Minney-Gratz: 88 carries, 756 yard, 16Tds
Receiving: Trevon Mills: 11 catches, 209 yards

Parkland’s Offense: The Trojans run a high tempo, air raid type offense with an exceptional quarterback in senior Devante Cross. Like most spread teams, they throw tons of short screens, slants, and hitch routes. Easton showed some vulnerability to a similar type of offense against ACC, so expect Parkland to take what the defensive gives them and take yardage in small chunks down the field. But Easton has been susceptible to the big play, so look for shots down field to Ridgway and slot man Rick Panella, particularly off play action. Parkland has big, physical receivers, and particularly in the red zone, they’ll try to put them in jump ball situations. Yeboah is obviously deadly there, but Zack Bross and Ridgway both can really can go ge the ball in the air. Parkland’s running game is largely limited to designed QB runs, but Cross is dynamic in the open field. Parkland’s smallest offensive lineman is 35 pounds heavier than Easton’s biggest defensive lineman, so the Trojans may try to push the Rovers around in the run game if they can get off the ball with the smaller, quicker Rover defensive line.

Easton’s Defense: Easton flashed their potential last week by shutting Whitehall out, and allowing just 67 yards of total offense (despite being 2-4, the Zephyrs averaged 366 yards and 28 points per game coming into last week). On the year, the Rovers are allowing just 163.4 yards per game and only ACC has broken the 200 yard barrier. Still, Parkland will test Easton’s defense like no team it’s seen all year. For the first time I can remember, Easton is playing a ton of nickel, which is simply a response to the evolution of high school offenses. The Rovers are not big, but everybody from the defensive tackles to the cornerbacks can run. The Trojans have excelled in is pass protection, and the battle between Parkland’s huge offensive tackles Steven Feher (6’5 265) and Noel Brouse (6’6 270) against Daloni Caldwell and David Simmons coming off the edge will be a good one. Caldwell has 6.5 sacks on the year, mostly speed rushing by bigger, slower offensive linemen. But they’ll have to remain disciplined and set an edge against Cross, otherwise he’ll kill them with scrambles. They did a great job last week containing Gianni Sinatore, but Cross presents and even greater challenge.

Easton’s Offense: As usual, the Red Rovers are going to pound the rock until you make them do otherwise. Tailback Nysir Minney-Gratz is possibly the smallest running back in Pennsylvania (5’5 155), but runs tough and is going to get a bulk of the carries. Easton loves to use him on toss plays and sprint-draws, which give him some space to operate. He has exceptional balance and teams seem to really struggle in hitting him squarely and despite his size, he has the lower body strength to break some tackles. Easton’s offensive line will be at a size disadvantage, but one thing they’ll do is force the bigger Parkland defensive line to run around and chase them. I’d expect lots of sweeps and spring-out passes to move the pocket, mostly in an effort to tire out Parkland’s big bodies up front to exploit a conditioning advantage. And of course, they’ll trap you to death if you let them. But Easton will need Trey Durrah to be at his absolute best, because Easton isn’t going to be able to line up and run play after play against nine and ten guys in the box. Last week, they were more successful with a midrange passing game, and it’s those exact throws in the 7-15 yard range that they’ll need, and will have to avoid falling in love with the deep ball.

Parkland’s Defense: The Trojans struggled the last two weeks against multifaceted attacks with dual threat quarterbacks. That isn’t really the case here. Parkland has a large defensive front who tries to swallow up linemen and allow their physical but undersized linebackers to fill gaps and make plays. Eric DiGiralomo is having a fantastic year, and reads and reacts as well as any backer in the EPC. He’s a really good athlete and while Easton wants to go side to side and make Parkland chase them, that can be a recipe for disaster against a Tim Moncman defense. Parkland’s team speed secondary is the one identifiable weakness in the defense as they really don’t have burners back there. But unlike Whitehall and Liberty, Easton doesn’t have the passing game to really attack that part of the defense. If the Trojans can really get some push up front, they’ll take control of the game.

Special Teams: This is where Easton has been excellent this year. The Rovers have returned four kicks for TDs and both Greg Albertson and Katrell Thompson are dangerous return men. They’ve blocked three punts and had an excellent kick coverage unit. Easton’s place kicking has also improved dramatically from a year ago. Parkland graduated all state caliber kicker Jake Bissel, and is decidedly more average in the kicking game this season. They also don’t have the electricity in the return game that Easton possesses.

Parkland Wins If: They stop the Easton running game. They take advantage of their size advantage everywhere.

Easton Wins If: They don’t give up the big play. They pass enough to open running lanes for Minney-Gratz.

The Pick: The regular season match up doesn’t seem to mean a lot between these two teams. Easton and Parkland have re-matched in the playoffs seven times, with the winner of the regular season game going 2-5. Easton has at times looked very good this season, but they haven’t seen an opponent as good as Parkland. Parkland is not as strong as preseason polls would indicate, but they’re a very good football team with a dynamic quarterback and the ability to stop the run. It may be more of a low scoring affair than we’ve become accustomed to in D11 this year, I’m picking the Trojans to go into Cottingham and get their fifth win in the West Ward in their last six tries.Parkland: 28-10.

Top 20: The East AAAA (1-10)

1. Downingtown West 6-0. Parkland’s unexpected 41-34 loss to Liberty combined with LaSalle’s narrow 27-24 loss to Archbishop Wood ripped a hole in the rankings allowing Downingtown West to move up from 3rd after defeating crosstown foe Bishop Shanahan 27-16. Three turnovers didn’t help nor the absence of running back Mike Riddick. But it didn’t prevent the Whippets from controlling things in pounding out 266 yards on the ground. Got to love these conference games. The next three weeks show West Chester East and Henderson at home then a road game at Avon Grove before the showdown with Downingtown East where both should be undefeated. At this point, that game will be for all the Ches Mont-National marbles, a higher seed and of course pride. Before that comes West Chester East (3-3, 2-1) fresh off their 31-30 upset of Coatesville. Strange game last year with West holding a 34-7 third quarter lead, then going on a rampage scoring 28 fourth quarter points in a 62-7 win?
2. Upper Dublin 6-0. How about the team from Fort Washington, finding their way to the rarefied air space of a number two ranking. Someone had to grab it. Who better in district one than (flip a coin) the Quad-A’s from Downingtown and these Cardinals. Upper Dublin’s veteran team blew away another team last week beating Wissahickon 49-0 for their second straight shutout. That is the least heralded aspect of this team, a defense that has allowed 34 points all year. Plymouth Whitemarsh (5-1, 2-1) is next, coming off a pounding at home by Upper Moreland (AAA, 5-1) 35-14. It’s a must win situation for them to keep pace with the Cardinals and….sit down for this one, Hatboro Horsham (3-3, 3-0), who gave Upper Moreland their only loss. Keeping you current with the Mad Hatters, their only losses were to quality teams, Pennridge, Quakertown and Lansdale Catholic.
3. Downingtown East 6-0. Here’s a team with similar characteristics to Upper Dublin having great coaching, a large and diverse offense and a killer defense. The front seven is one of the top groups in the area featuring standout linebacker Brody Wilson (6-2, 230, sr), Seth Davis (5-11, 215, jr) and Matt Boorman (6-0, 170, sr) behind a potent DL; Will Kiely (6-3, 255, jr), Chris Harootunian (6-5, 275, sr), Shane Hogarth (6-3, 235, jr) and Pat Matta (5-10, 185, sr). That along with QB Saunders Healy, receiver Cary Angeline and last year’s split time back Jack Kincade now full time, makes for one difficult team to beat. Better be able to pass (Reece Udinski, North Penn, 28-24 loss) or go down the way Henderson did last week 42-7. Coatesville has a quarterback that can pass coming off a major upset loss to West Chester East. This is a dangerous atmosphere and venue for the Cougars, catching the Raiders in a bad mood coming off two consecutive losses.
4. LaSalle 3-2. LaSalle showed they are among the elite of the state despite losing a nail biter to highly regarded Archbishop Wood (AAA, 6-0) 27-24. It took a 25-yd field goal by Dan Zanine with no time left to thwart a 24 point second half explosion by the Explorers. The 21-0 half time deficit proved too much to overcome. In a game that will get national attention, LaSalle will next play St. Joseph’s Prep (3-2), fresh off their attention getting 28-5 rout of St. Joseph Regional-NJ (4-2). SJR is the only team to beat famed St. Edward of Lakewood, OH and one of two to beat equally renowned Don Bosco Prep of New Jersey. If the LaSalle team that outscored Wood 24-6 in the second half shows up and the Hawk team that beat the Green Knights last week, we’ll have a classic.
5. St. Joseph’s Prep 3-2. St. Joe’s came out swinging against USA Today’s 18th ranked St. Joseph’s Regional-NJ (4-2) who was previously ranked #1 in New Jersey and #2 in USA Today’s East Region behind DeMatha (6-0, USAT’s #6 team). That’s the long way of saying they beat a fine team, handily at 28-5 while showing great character bouncing back from the previous week’s loss to Malvern. Running back D’Andre Swift tore through the Green Knights at a 9.16 yards per carry clip or 220 rush yards in 24 attempts. Bear in mind the Knights defeated teams such as Don Bosco Prep and St. Edward of Lakewood-OH this season. Maybe we just witnessed a quantum leap in the program’s status; quantum in the sense of “sudden” change in perception. LaSalle is next, a team the Hawks dominated since 2012, winning the last four games, two in each of the last two seasons. Their last win was 2012 in the postseason winning 28-27. Dumb me, I thought that 10-1 Hawk team was finals bound having defeated Cocoa, Gonzaga, North Penn, Wood and LaSalle that year.
6. Parkland 5-1. It wasn’t West Chester East beating Coatesville but still had a wow factor when Parkland lost at Liberty last week 41-34, dropping the Trojans into a second place tie in the EPC-South at 3-1 with Liberty and Easton. Allentown Central Catholic and Nazareth are at 3-2 with Freedom 4-0 atop the conference. Speaking of Easton, the Red Rovers are next with a 2-pt loss to Allentown CC standing between them and perfection. The last meeting between the two was last year in the D-2/4/11 sub-regional where Parkland reversed a regular season loss winning 13-10 in ot despite Easton holding them below 100 yards rushing. To win this one, Parkland needs to tighten up a defense that has been sieve like the last two games, allowing 28 to Whitehall and 41 to Liberty. Those are unheard of numbers for a Parkland defense. Liberty showed them to be vulnerable as did Allentown Central Catholic and Whitehall. The question is can Easton exploit those vulnerabilities.
7. Easton 5-1. Easton seems to be replacing some of last year’s parts, but there is no denying that was “the” team, as good as their 10- 0 record and #1 seed indicated entering last year’s postseason. So while they’re off to a good start, the schedule is dangerously back loaded, facing four of the top five EPC-South teams, Parkland, Liberty, Freedom and Nazareth the second half of the season. Like Parkland, they failed their only road test of the season losing at Allentown CC 26-24 three weeks ago. Both teams score a lot of points with Easton averaging 44 to Parkland’s 42. But the game is at Easton where their defense often shines. This edition is allowing a scant 11ppg to Parkland’s more liberal 19. If Easton can control the perimeter and they have to talent there to manage Parkland’s dual threat quarterback Devante Cross, they’ll win the game. On paper Parkland is the better team with size and skill advantages. The edge Easton has is in team speed and special teams that may counter Parkland’s clear advantages, giving this the look of a tight, low scoring game.
8. North Penn 4-2. Since getting edged 28-24 at Downingtown East a month ago, the Knights
reeled off three straight wins by large margins beating Pennridge 31-7, CB South 46-20 and Souderton last week 39-14. Non-conference games including LaSalle, West Catholic and Downingtown helped mold this group into a legitimate district contender especially with the development of the passing game with ancillary benefits to the passing D. Reece Udinski (6-4, 180, jr) had an awesome outing vs the Indians, completing 18 of 24 passes for 334 yards and 5 Tds. Add that to a stable load of running backs (West, Ostopowicz, Isabella) plus sure handed receivers to see the diversity of the offense. Winless Bensalem is next.
9. Liberty 5-1. To understand the size of Liberty’s 41-34 upset of Parkland last week, look back to the 15-1 title team in 2008 where they beat North Penn (14-1) in the Eastern final followed by the win against Bethel Park (15-1) to win the state title, both previously undefeated teams. That makes more sense knowing they had tremendous success on the field going 62-9 from 2004 through 2008 before slumping off to 36-31 from 2009 through last year. The task this week is to come down from the high of that win for a road game at Northampton (1-5), stay healthy, then prep for the stretch run of Easton (5-1), Allentown Central Catholic (4-2) and Freedom (6-0). Talk about a murderers’ row!
10. Pennsbury 5-1. Here’s another team on a roll, winning their last four games by a combined score of 182-52 since losing to LaSalle 14-0 in week #2. That’s good momentum they’ll need knowing the schedule maker gave them Pennridge, North Penn, unpredictable Central Bucks South and Neshaminy to end the season. Last week saw they crush hapless Bensalem (0-7) 52-12. The 52 points scored is four more than the Owls scored all year! Next up is always dangerous Pennridge (4-2, 2-1), looking to tie things up in the conference with North Penn and the Falcons sitting atop the SOL-National at 3-0. Consecutive conference road wins at Neshaminy 17-7 and Abington last week 38-15 will have them pumped before a loud and large crowd, looking to take down Pennsbury.
