Not a significant game in terms of the state landscape, but a telling evening in what was slated to be the final game in the original Cottingham Stadium (though construction plans are in flux). Parkland is a decidedly average to solid high school football team. Completely embarrassed Easton. Parkland’s middle linebacker made the point to the Express Times today that “once you play physical with them, they’ll fold” which as far as I’m concerned means Jeff Braido can’t report to practice on Monday because that’s as damning a statement you can make about a football program.
Easton isn’t without talent, they’d not small, they’re not slow. They just do a lot of dumb shit. And they’re going to finish this year 6-5, potentially 6-6 with a loss to P’burg. In talking to people walking out last night, the consensus was the best thing for the program would be to completely bottom out at something like 2-9 so there’d be the chance of starting fresh. But this is a disaster.
