how come no one is posting here....in our ancestral home? It looks like the board is up and running well.

From this morning's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:

"We played at Heinz Field for the WPIAL title with the NFL locker room and then we go to Hersheypark for the [PIAA] final and the playing surface was fine, but the locker room was terrible," said Greg Botta, who guided Franklin Regional to WPIAL and PIAA Class AAA titles in 2005.

"I've talked to a lot of [coaches] about this and what [the PIAA] ought to do is alternate the championship games each year between Heinz Field and the Philadelphia Eagles stadium [Lincoln Financial Field]."

Thoughts? Do you think the PIAA title games have outgrown Hershey? Do you like this idea of alternating venues? Have any other suggestions?

COACH WHAT SHOULD I DO?


To : Coaches

Hello Coach,
I would like to introduce to you a unique football, basketball, and lacrosse program located in Central North Carolina in the Piedmont Triad region. The Central Carolina Sports Academy is based in Greensboro North Carolina. The program founder, Clayton Banner has worked in education and sports for over sixteen years. For a biographical background for Coach Banner and the Warrior staff, please go to the CCSA website - ccsafootball.com. The coaching staff you will find is stocked with educator/coaches who are committed to the mission statement of developing the future… and that a second chance is earned. CSSA is an Educational system that steps outside of the traditional box to provide the student athlete a complete support net which will encompasses Body/Mind/Soul. The program is a very structured program, but is not a military based curriculum. The infrastructures of the CCSA program is designed by studying components from Jr Colleges, Post graduate programs, public and private high schools, and special education programs. The staff of CCSA has coached on all levels of athletics ranging from high school up to the professional level. The development of players in the classroom, playing field and higher placement is the heart of the program at CCSA. No student will be turned away from the CSSA program. CSSA will work with sub qualifying grades, low SAT/ACT scores, missing core classes, non graduate eligible players, aged out players, and none-divisional mold players (too short/too light). In the economic hard times we face as a nation, we are the most cost efficient program in the nation. On average the cost of the CCSA program is Tens of thousand of dollars less than traditional college and university programs and CCSA has gift programs. We help the player who far too often falls through the cracks. Do not let grades or lack of money deter your players from making there lives better and continuing their education.
Have players go to website and send in the contact information to schedule a visit.

NUC MVP DJ Hubbard

For anyone interested, here is a copy of my post on the Basketball board:

Ok everyone, here we are, playoff time again. The seeds have been announced and the brackets have been printed up. Anyone interested in joining the second annual Tony Alva District One AAAA Playoff Pool should follow these directions closely.

If you would like to join the pool, please email me at RivalsD1Pool@gmail.com

I will be checking this email frequently over the next week. When I receive an email from you, I will email you back the bracket, in an Excel spreadsheet. Please fill out all the yellow boxes in the spreadsheet. You will need to pick the winner of each game, give me a Total Score for the championship game (in case of tiebreaker) and be sure to fill in your message board screenname in the appropriate box. After you have done this, please save the completed spreadsheet and email it back to me. I will then confirm to you that I received it.

*********** THE DEADLINE IS 5:00 PM, THIS FRIDAY FEBRUARY 13 ************

I will post my picks on the message board at that time, so you can all see my picks before the games start that night. The scoring system will work as follows:

1st Round Games: Worth 1 point
2nd Round Games: Worth 2 Points
3rd Round Games: Worth 4 Points
Semifinal Games: Worth 8 points
Championship game: Worth 16 points (and tiebreaker will be Total Points in this game)

I will post an update on the message board the morning after every round, giving the complete point totals and standings.

That is it for now. You can email any time from here on out for your blank bracket. Again please remember to fill out all the yellow boxes in the spreadsheet and remember the deadline is 5:00 PM this Friday. Good luck to everyone…

2010 "Athlete" from Canonsburg (PA) Canon McMillan. Teammate of PSU verbal commit OLB Mike Hull.

Anyone know anything about him? His recruiting? Does not have a Rivals profile as of yet.

Thank you.

I will again be running the pool for the D-1 AAAA basketball playoffs.It will be similar to last year. The day that the bracket comes out, I will post an email address on here that you can email to have to bracket emailed to you. Fill it out and send it back and you are in the pool. For bragging rights only. I will then post updates the day following each round of games. I will also be running a pool for the state playoffs. Please keep your eyes open for my post after the D-1 seedings are announced if you are interested in participating.

ANY WORD ON WERE KELLY KHARS AND PINSKA ARE PLAYING NEXT YEAR

just looking for unbiased opinions

Can people give me their opinions on this game? and also can you expand on what kind of football team TJ is?

I know everyone on this board are die hard football fans but hey the season is over So off topic. Anyone on this board who follows baseball respond who do you see as being the teams to beat and how do you rank the schools in terms of baseball and who are the strong propects from the respective schools in the Central

looks to be working

Hey - it's working.

This is nice, nice and quiet.

Holy cow!!! Is it true? Could it be??? The Prep dudes and NP guys are now separate???? Thank, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Guys,

Check out our series on four of the best and most important Thanksgiving Day games from across the country. Three of the games are now over 100 years old and the fourth is at 66 years - but is the longest west of Missouri.

Kirkwood (Mo.) v Webster Groves - Read the story
The city of St. Louis gradually has surrounded the communities of Kirkwood, Mo., and Webster Groves, Mo. But that hasn’t changed the attitude or traditions of the people who live in those two spots west of St. Louis. It’s the tradition to which these residents cling. The tradition of the lives they and their ancestors have led. The tradition of small-town living. The tradition of the Turkey Day Game.

Lincoln (Ca.) v San Jose Academy - Read the story
Truth be told, the prize is sort of ugly − an old, beat-up cow femur bone. That's what the winner of the longest-standing high school Thanksgiving rivalry game west of Missouri gets for its troubles. That old bone, though, means more than a potential postseason run to Lincoln (San Jose, Calif.) High School coach Kevin Collins, who has spurned invitations to the playoffs the past several years to keep alive the tradition of the "Big Bone" game against rival San Jose Academy.

Easton (Pa.) v Phillipsburg (NJ) - Read the story
For the past 102 years on Thanksgiving morning, thousands of people walk across the bridge from Phillipsburg, N.J., to Easton, Pa., and up the hill to Fisher Field at Lafayette College. All to watch a high school football game. It's the game that one coach describes as a game that no matter what you do, and that includes winning a state title, there’s nothing more important than the Easton-Phillipsburg game.

Boston Latin v. Boston English - Read the story
They are billing this year’s game as a Gridiron Classic. The rivalry is the oldest continuous Thanksgiving game in high school history, dating to a Nov. 25, 1887 game on Boston Common. Boston Latin is 0-10 entering its annual Thanksgiving Day game with Boston English (3-7) at Harvard Stadium. Despite its winless record this season, Latin enters this game as a favorite because it has dominated the matchup in recent years.

Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving!
