    Devlin leaving Wood

    As an Ursinus alum, who never went to a game while I was there or since, I personally would not have been in favor of the Devlin hire. He cheats and doesn't think the rules pertain to him, I think they should have found someone better. As for Schmidt, I've seen his act and I wouldn't want him...

    OT: How about a little wrestling?

    Relayer, I used to follow wrestling a lot closer back in the day but not as much since about 2000. Couple questions for you: Council Rock before the split was the powerhouse of District 1. I've always wondered why. From a distance, I wouldn't have thought that area would be a wrestling hotbed...

    District 1 Openings

    BC, Great list. I forgot about Sweatt, great player indeed. Watching Potter on kick coverage was worth the price of admission by itself.

    District 1 Openings

    I don't agree with statement about Picciotti either but let's not minimize his career. He is one of the best players to ever play at West. The year they won the state title 56 - 7, they don't get there without Picciotti and what he did to Becahi in the playoffs. Based purely on high school...

    District 1 Openings

    Is West even an attractive job? I wouldn't think so at this point. I think mentioning "looking North Penn in the eye" buys into the same nonsensical, archaic attitude as only hiring a West alumnus. If the principal feels that way, then he hasn't been paying attention. I too loved the old West...

    District 1 Openings

    Shoe, I thought you were crazy but you were spot on about Cuthbert from the beginning. I used to cover games for a paper and he was the absolute worst coach I had to deal with. He came off to me as just being very arrogant.

    GA @ NG Cancelled

    Salvucci, Just to circle back and clear up the mis-information, not every PIAA team recruits. Does Pennridge recruit? How about CBSouth? The Rocks? What about Spring-Ford? Perk Valley? Garnet Valley? I could go on and on and on. The number of schools that recruit you can probably count on one...

    GA @ NG Cancelled

    Burrs, Another thing to consider. I wonder how many post- grads are on GA roster. Since PIAA schools can't play against post-grads, they would have to sit out the game. So, you've got one team losing players and the other team having added a significant number. Just something to consider. As...

    Wednesday Night Check-In

    Relayer, Really respect your evaluations, looking forward to your assessment of Tarburton. PSU has a great class coming in, it will be nice to see another local player do well there. Expecting good things from Rock's Curtis Cothren this year as well.

    PARENTS JUST DON'T UNDESRTAND

    I also played another sport at a Centennial Conference school. I'm not getting the gist of this thread, that a CC school price will be on par with a PSAC school. Just looked it up, my school is 66k a year. West Chester is 26k. So your saying the CC school will come down 40k a year? If so, I...

    Prep Chants, Ace Carter article

    Ches-Mont, I respectfully disagree, these situations should be reported on. He's a reporter, everything that transpires at the event is fair game. This is 2016 and these situations (sexist and racial) still go on because people bury their head in the sand and pretend nothing happened, just like...

    Prep Chants, Ace Carter article

    This is the third incident Ace Carter has written about this year. The first was at a Spring-Ford game which happened to Me, Carter himself. There were denials at first but then the individual came forward and apologized to him directly. The second incident was at the North Penn - Coatesville...

    Score predictions NP/Prep?

    IADelco, Very well stated, appreciate the insight, puts me in the mood for the game. Totally agree, a lot comes down to the Jimmies & Joes and I think The Prep has more of them, especially on the line and at linebacker. I think a lot of people assume that if a team wins that automatically the...

    Score predictions NP/Prep?

    Agree with all of your analysis except one, SJP does not have a coaching advantage. Beck has had a sterling career at NP, he takes a back seat to noone at this point. He learned from the greatest coach in the history of Pennsylvania high school history and has been In a ton of big games. If you...

    Congrats North Penn

    I ref other sports and almost always back the officials but last night was indefensible. Knowing other sports, I have two theories. One, the assignor gave the game to his old cronies, the old boy network. The other thought, I'm wondering if these guys were from another district, like District...

    Lehigh Valley Top 8 and Notes

    Shoe, I need to give you props regarding Cuthbert. You have always maintained that he was a really poor coach and the evidence points that you were exactly correct. I was in the camp that he was very good, simply based on his pedigree. Wow, was I wrong. And now he's at Wissahickon with no...

    FINAL: 'Skins 42 - Whippets 14

    Mole, I live in the North Penn area so I only saw Neshaminy one time last year, against NP. The player I was really impressed with was Tredway. Big kid who covered a ton of ground at safety, very competitive and a hitter. Only saw him that one game but impressed with his game and potential. Any...

    1st Annual Bucks/Montco All-Star Game this Friday at Tennent

    Relayer, Just saw your post about the Pennridge - CRN baseball game. Methacton has a real nice, new baseball complex. A private business came in built the complex at no cost to the taxpayers. It's much better than NP, West and some of the others which are just basically open fields. It seems...

    The Ridley Coaching Rumor Thread

    Speed, Not being from that area and not knowing anything about Wood, a question. You say he does not have a teaching degree, does he at least have a degree?
