If they win this championship and keep up the “good work” I’d classify them as a powerhouse
Pine-Richland 2023
- Thread starter new2pa
- Start date
people say how bad 6A is- the flip side is places like Peters has benefited- that so bad? They have made 3 finals- would not have made 1, if they were in the old "4A"
I remember that now. Gateway choked. Up something like 18-0 at the half and lost.
Ringgold also had Matt Humbert the Belle Vernon coach as head coach from 2010 - 2013
that school is a complete mess
I was at the Pine-Richland/Penn Hills game. Yes, PH shut down Pillar, they had enough size on the line and a lot of speed at LB. At halftime PR pretty much scrapped the wildcat but the QB play from Strader and Kannan was horrible the entire game... until the last drive. Strader was absolutely perfect on that one drive, made 3 nice throws and had a number of good runs.
Bottom line though, Penn Hills just threw that game away. Had 2 chances in the 4th to ice it. At midfield they chose for inexplicable reasons to hand the ball to a guy who had all of 2 carries the entire season, and he fumbled the ball away = PR FG. And then on a huge 3-9 with under 2 minutes to go Dugger scrambled for a big gain, he ended up just over a yard short... but ran out of bounds stopping the clock. PR was out of TO's. They scored with 2 seconds left. If he stays in bounds another 30-40 seconds run off, no way PR scores. As a Pitt fan I really wonder about Dugger as a QB. Super athlete.
I kind of like PR in this game Saturday. Peters has had a much easier schedule than Pine. They normally only play 3 down lineman and 3 LB's with 5 DB's. They will need much more up front to stop Pillar. Should be a good one.

what i meant to say- is people say "its bad to have" 6 levels. Peters benefited
Peters is less talented but better coached than PH, will be close, im goin 24-21 PR win
Both the DE’s are out, but I don’t think it would’ve made a difference in this one. Pr one dimensional offense has finally caught up to them, very lucky to pull it out against PH last week
New- Watching the game the better team won easily based on talent. Hurt pine having some injuries though… coach k or no coach k.
I think this game says more about peters than pine. Peters destroyed everyone they played so far
PR had flaws, but flaws are exposed against good teams- Peters is really good, hats off to them, i will surprised if they don't go far in the playoffs
going how many years back?
I still think NA and Central would beat them this year alone, i would say it's another reason to hate 6 classes
one of their starting LB’s is who’s a sophomore, has offers from Pitt and Wisconsin. Imagine what pt would be like if he stayed, three p5 LB’s.
I think the clear top 3 in wpial is NA, Peters, and central and in that order. I’d like to see a game between NA and Peters.
I’ll say peters is the best 5A team since 2020 PR. I bet that would be a good game
Central had three p5 linebackers and gave up over 350 on the ground
That whole game was embarassing for PCC if you ask me.
i think the result would be similar to the 2020 final against Peters with PR winning 35 - 0, i think 2020 PR is the best wpial team of the last 5 years
this PR team didn't have a quarterback, Cole Spencer i would say is the 3rd best wpial quarterback of the last 15 year or so, behind Jurkovec and Dinucci
not to mention they had far more playmakers on offense and defense compared to this PR team
Donovan Mcmillon and Corbin Hondru are better players than any guy on this Peters team, though maybe this Peters team is better from top to bottom? we'll never know for sure
they will have to win the state or at least come close for me to put this Peters team above last years, but i think they are better than Penn Trafford from 2021
maybe he is from Peters, i had it in my head he's from Washington because his dad was a star there in the 90's
i wonder if he'll transfer back now that Peters seems to have a bright future
I’d for sure say this peters team was better than the 2020 version. This team hasn’t really had a close game all year, while the 2020 team had many close games, including the gateway semis in which gateway lost it more than peters won
We’ll see how this squad does against non wpial teams, but if they win states then I think it’ll be a no brainer that this is the best peters team ever
Wonder what he’s thinking now, he could have been a champ with his buddies he grew up with
that Gateway team was the defending champs in 2019, not exactly chumps, who did Peters play this year that was as good a player as Derrick Davis? he didn't live up to the hype but nobody they played this year would ever be glanced at by LSU
who are the D1 players they played against this year outside of Ryan Cory who had a dislocated shoulder?
competition matters
you can blow out every team, that doesn't automatically make you better than past teams that didn't win every game in a blowout
he probably thought a title at Central was far more likely, which I would've thought so too haha
he should transfer back, i'm sure the wpial will rule him ineligible but no big deal when the piaa always overturns it
Yeah I don’t think they’ve played a player the caliber of Derrick Davis, although I’m not sure how great gateway was that year. But if they beat Imhotep in the final with what I assume will be multiple Derrick Davis caliber players, they must take the crown from 2020 peters in my eyes
How about the QB Wehner, he goes 0-3 in wpial championship games as a starter, all the championship games were played at Norwin, and he’s from Norwin…
that's why he and his cousin Cole Sullivan left Norwin, they can't win there no matter who they play for
Imhotep lost the last two years when they should've won with their talent
