foot, Evidently Cumberland county and Lebanon county are growing at a significant clip but otherwise nothing of note. See the link.Hey Stalker: What's going on with the Harrisburg area. Is there growth in homes? HS numbers up or just talent level up?
D1 extremely down. Not taking anything away from DWest, great year for them. just not a many real strong teams on fundamentals, depth or physical in D1 compared to even the last few. Coatesville’s last 2 years were considerably better on multiple fronts. NPenn off, Neshaminy a wreck, Pennsbury & Pennridge lost. Bucks West put a great effort forward but pales in comparison to years past.
maybe beginning of end for D1. Almost certainly, SoL.

About CD, the entire Harrisburg area has been a FB hotbed for over a century, back to national power Harrisburg Tech and Central then John Harris High (Dennis Green fullback, Jimmy Jones...1st black qb USC, etc) in 60s before merger with Wm Penn to form Harrisburg High 1970. So, nothing "new" is going on in the area with the power structure ebbing and flowing between CD, CV (west shore), McDevitt, Harrisburg. About CD specifically, they have a great coaching staff of maybe 6-7 former head coaches with the players buying in. You can look at the players and see they've done serious off season work or vids to see how well they play, intelligently and fundamentally sound, emphasizing spec teams/defense; good eg....see Downingtown game. They've had great teams for year but never made it to the map before securing the prerequisite gold in 2011, beating NPenn. What's up talent level wise is the QB position where Max Mosey exceeded expectations as a soph. OL is vet as is much of the D; very athletic players. They often have excellent OLs, good skill but are never at this level as they were in 2011 unless they have a superior qb for Coach McNamee to run his system.

It is a nice area to live. There for years but being a nice place isn't reflected in pop surge as you might expect, except Cumberland County, slight tick up in Dauphin. That's good news for Cumberland Valley FB and the incoming HC since firing Coach Whitehead! Said they want to go in another direction?Living in a nice locale near a state capital where money's being spent (i.e. Hbg) means availability of good jobs. Seems like a pretty desirable location.
I have said this for years. District 1 football is the worse of any of the major districts (1,3,7,11, and 12). They don't like to tackle, and it showed Friday night. Here is a possible solution. District One withdraws from the PIAA for football, and institutes a flag football league for all teams interested.Is this rock bottom for D1? Haven't won a state title in 16 years. Really not even close since 2003.
