In the days the Turnpike was down, I found myself wandering over to the other sites-especially basketball. And it got me wondering which school has the best combination football/basketball program? Ridley, STJPrep,Dtown, Pennsbury immediately come to mind.
And why now does it seem so difficuly to be top notch at both sports? Why cant Chester or Lower Merion field competitive football teams? They certainly have athletes.
Even more intriguing is why the large school enrollment teams(NPenn, Neshaminy, etc.) have such difficulty putting a decent hoop team on the floor? Is it coaching, community support? Do the football coaches "discourage" participation in other sports?
