    Public School Tuition for "out of district" students

    Why would anyone pay out of district tuition. You take a fake address above some pizza place. This has been happening for years in tons of districts. A lot of these public schools find very creative ways to get kids into programs. In my own district a few years ago, one address had 31 kids...

    O’Hara HC Search???

    People who think about these archdiocesan schools in terms of administration don't understand the realities of situation. The administration changes like underwear. The administration main role is raise enough funds to keep the doors open. Plus there is the weird dynamic between the school and...

    The feeder school thing you gotta get over. Kids can go to whatever Catholic school they want. That ain’t coming back or relevant anymore. The second point is legitimate and for multiple reasons. Poaching players in high school problematic for multiple reasons. First the slope is slippery from...

    Joe McFadden slow played this and got exactly what he wanted. Let’s be honest the PIAA folks got hoodwinked because of its own arrogance at the time. Got tired of hearing about PCL. Those of us involved knew that it was a Pandora’s box but that if talent aggregated out of our league it would be...

    Wood vs Cheltenham: This years most intriguing game

    Congrats to both teams. Was highly competitive game. Both teams played hard. You can tell they like playing for their coaching staffs. Special recognition to Ryan Nase. Has done a remarkable job there. Always been an impressive person from back in his Judge days. His work organizing the Greg...

    State Finals: 6A, 5A, 4A, 3A, 2A, 1A (Dec 5, 6, 7)……..by the numbers.

    Stalker numbers have been amazingly accurate. Unbelievable this year and really good over number of years. His formula and analysis are fantastic. Kudos to a great job. If ever the HS market were legal(obviously joking, terrible premise) fairly certain we could have him a job down here in Delco...

    Wood vs Cheltenham: This years most intriguing game

    Agreed. Same can be said for back half of District 1 5a. 16 teams out of 25 make it. Year in year out Ryan is better than 15 of those teams including this year. The system is the system. I think the past Academy Park and Unionville teams would win this years 5a, in fact pretty easily. This AP...

    Wood vs Cheltenham: This years most intriguing game

    Cheltenham may win. Wood isn’t as good as they have been. Point being they better be a lot worse given recent events. Each time in past they played a District 1 opponent it’s a mercy rule. Unless District 1 5a this year is leaps and bounds better than it’s been and Wood way off I don’t see it...

    Wood vs Cheltenham: This years most intriguing game

    Ahhh, you do realize who Wood plays in the regular season correct. It’s not Kennett, AP, and Cocalico. If we are being honest about competition not just competition over few weeks Wood has played way better teams. Doesn’t mean Cheltenham won’t win but convincing yourself over who has played...

    They are talking about Ke’Shawn Williams from SCH. He decommited from Kent St to Wake. A lot of schools asking about Blair now. As of right now he’s sticking with Buffalo.

    SE Pennsylvania POY

    Not sure about reopening recruitment at this point. He reports to campus up there in about 40 days. I think people say underrated they probably mean under recruited or under the radar. If you weren't from Delco I'm not sure he was a kid that everyone thought of as a big time talent. I've been...

    SE Pennsylvania POY

    What is the crazier scenario surrounding Trey Blair? First that no power five schools offered him over the summer and more specifically Penn St didn’t recruit him. Or the fact that a program that runs a spread offense would only line him up at QB for one year. If he played QB in that league...

    I read and understood. So the jist is if the PIAA didn’t move the schedule then the game makes sense in your opinion. I don’t agree for multiple reasons. First the PIAA isn’t changing so again that thinking in the past. What’s here is here. Second I’d argue it made even less sense in the past...

    Dipnrip I’ll stand by the original comment. I was at said game last year. It was far from packed. In fact sparsely attended. Other than year where it was for Central League title it’s not something that generates a lot of community interest. Clearly you have never been to a Dots-Bernies...

    West was better team. Seemed like they could score as many as they needed. Blair hampered by injury but played his tail off. The better team won. Will say this Haverford battled their ass off till end. It’s amazing how kids when they are on a roll just believe they can win. 35-7 and 42-14...

    D1/D12-6A Playoffs, Semifinals……..by the numbers.

    Thanks for update. Very interesting. It’s been incredibly accurate. It may or may not been used in some local establishments for amusement only.

    D1/D12-6A Playoffs, Semifinals……..by the numbers.

    Interesting. You have been right on money thus far. I’m surprised both West and Haverford numbers fell from last week(Fords by 8) and Garnet went up considerably in the formula. Some fascinating matchups. Most important issue in any game is Blair’s health. If he isn’t right that’s huge on both...

    So this x1000 should give everyone some insight. The outsized importance of a thanksgiving game that is of another era. The importance placed on one person coaching in a milestone game or beating a rival on way out the door. Foot I should have said a PIAA playoff game not state. UD won one...

    Funny enough he has a playoff win in Districts. They won a playoff game in 2015 against one of the Council Rocks. So pretty sure now that Haverford finally got over that hump only Lower Merion and Harriton have never won a State game. Coaching community pretty insular place where people are...

    Fluck applied. Just sayin. Personally think the whole process is insane to not wait until after year is over. If they were able to pay up and commit I can think of some pretty big names who might fit. Very unique situation. Will take right person and commitment. For those who don’t think there...
