nice- have fun all- i will go w 31-21 PCC win, sadly im goin to my PR taking on fox chapelHeaded to the game now. prediction before i leave: 49-28 PCC
they could've moved there just to play footballThe question was were they lived now. Big Art JR lives here now
If you lost all respect for him after one comment you didn’t have much respect for him to begin with
Also rooting for PCC? Are you sure you went to ringgold?
i don't think anybody was taking that PR team seriously until they won that game, i mean they did come out of nowhereI thought 2014 P-R vs PCC at Highmark on TV was game of century!
still too early to talk about sjp- but PCC is legit good, and NA is irrelevant, just like they have been for 10 yearsCC is legit but they are still heavy underdogs against SJP
I think it'll be much of the same thing in the wpial finals. Cole Sullivan the Michigan recruit with a huge game last night. He had some big tackles and caught 2 tds. PCC is just to good and the better team. PCC and st joes prep are just a step above all other teams in the state.Go ahead and laugh it up, you guys were waiting for this
First, congratulations to PCC on winning this REGULAR season game. They have a really good team this year. In essence, this is the WPIAL championship.
Now, getting to the game. NA shot themselves in the foot. Just too many turnovers. The egregious one was the pick when we were on the 5 going in to score, and threw the ball for some reason after running easily down the field. Not the greatest coaching in this one. Also could not stop PCC run game. Have to fix that before the next meeting.
I’m not as panicked as some of you mentally fragile people would be. NA outgained PCC in yards in the first half. Again, turnovers did them in. 4 turnovers can’t happen again.
Next time this game is played, it will be a lot closer, believe that. Get your jokes in now, because we’re back to the drawing board
PCC has the best linebacking Corp in Pa. Between Anthony Speca (Penn State) and Cole Sullivan (Michigan). NA is a good team and would beat up on most 6A schools in the state and PCC ran away with this game. This PCC team is special.Big win for the vikings. nervous in the first half, but was able to pull away in the first half. Have to clean up the penalties.
NA rushed for a little over 100 yards in the first half. Then Alualu got hurt in the 3rd. Prep should have no problem with running the ball at least (assuming PCV vs SJP is the final)Prep has 2 Jr linebackers that are top 200 players nationally in their class (Sacca and Smith) with offers from all over the country as well. They helped hold the #2 RB in the country from IMG to 63 yards on 23 carries.
PCC is a super solid team. They have enough offense to keep it interesting against Prep if they get to Hershey (CV).
I still think Prep is at least a 3 score (17 point) favorite against PCC if they play in December
Prep has a good linebacker Corp but I'm still going with PCC's with Speca and Sullivan. It'll be prep and PCC in late December. I don't think it's fare to compare prep to any other high school in Pennsylvania but I'm not going down this rabbit hole again. Prep has advantages other schools including other private schools don't have. You mentioned playing img on ESPN. That game alone will draw in top talent from new Jersey and Philly. A kid plays a big game in that game and he could earn himself a major college scholarship. PCC plays one game in week zero that isn't a wpial team. You are correct in that prep will be the favorite in any game they play but historically the wpial has been the one to beat prep and PCC is special.Prep has 2 Jr linebackers that are top 200 players nationally in their class (Sacca and Smith) with offers from all over the country as well.

I too have zero affiliation to either schools and I'm just a fan of football on any level. I like watching a midgets game as much as the NFL. I'm from western Pa and I will jump on the bandwagon of any team thats really good in the area. I disagree with you also. Prep might be the better team and I did watch that img game online. PCC linebackers are both big fast and run down hill. I'll take PCC linebackers over any in the state including preps. Not to mention the third member of PCC's linebacking Corp is Bradley Gompers who has Boston college, pitt unlv, and west Virginia offers. I would be curious what 5 teams on preps schedule would beat PCC. Heres a list of PCC's D1 guys. 1. Speca- PSU 2. Gonzalez- PSU 3. Sullivan-Michigan 4. Yuas- Pitt 5. Gompers - bc, Pitt, unlv, wvu 5. Xxavier thomas- Akron 6. Colsen gatten- PSU, Pitt, Wisconsin 7. Ashton blatt- PSU, Pitt 8. Larry moon- Pitt wvu and 9. Roman Thomson- Auburn, PSU, and Pitt.I saw that Sullivan had 2 td catches for PCC. How many players go both ways for the Vikings? I watched the stream so I didnt have access to a program or roster to try and keep track of guys/jersey numbers
https://pittsburghsportsnow.com/202...aded-with-d-i-talent-across-all-four-classes/ Larry moon is the only one with potentials because he's a freshman but he will get those offers.also- drip- those guys have potential- but these kids have not been in the battles, and have not faced the level of competition that SJP kids have, for several years
Isn't PCC the same at the local (Pitt area) level?https://pittsburghsportsnow.com/202...aded-with-d-i-talent-across-all-four-classes/ Larry moon is the only one with potentials because he's a freshman but he will get those offers.
Agreed, no one has the level of competition as prep in the state. I'm not a prep hater but they are what they are. They are a traveling all star team.
Yes. I always chuckle when I hear PCC fans complain about SJP. Pot calling the kettle blackIsn't PCC the same at the local (Pitt area) level?
I'm not a PCC fan nor am I a prep hater. Prep is what they are. NA you on the other hand are a PCC hater. I guess the blow out win is still a little fresh.Yes. I always chuckle when I hear PCC fans complain about SJP. Pot calling the kettle black
Private schools all have the same advantages as far as no boundaries but I think what sets prep apart from other private schools is their schedule. You can guarantee kids that theyre playing the top teams in the country (img, St Thomas, Lakeland, ect.. ) You will play against the top players in the country along side top talent in the country and college coaches are going to be in the stands. There were more colleges coaches watching the Prep img game then probably all the other Pennsylvania high school football games combined. I could say that every single major D1 college had at least a scout at that game. Prep does emphasize football and academics too. Prep tells these kids they are going to go there for a better opportunity to get there gps up, college paid for by earning a athletic scholarship, and you will have a better chance to get into a major university. You will play on national tv and you can pull the best talent from new Jersey and Philly. Both heavily populated areas. I have no issue with prep but I just don't think it's fare when people compare other pa schools to them. PCC pulls from Pittsburgh and plays wpial schools. The PCC teams that stick out and seem special to me are '04,15,and 23 and that's preps team every year. I'm not a graduate of any school in pa so I have no bias to any school. You see the same schools as prep in other states as well. Bishop Gorman, St Thomas Aquinas, St Francis, ect.... I'm also one that doesn't want to see them separate private from public athleticly. I want to see the best schools play the best schools but let's not act like other schools don't have athletic advantages.Isn't PCC the same at the local (Pitt area) level?
Stalk- here in the burgh- PCC is def not "the same" as any regular Pub School- BUT also, PCC is def not the "same" as SJP, I could list about a half dozen reasons, that have been discussed on other threadsIsn't PCC the same at the local (Pitt area) level?

Drip. I'm well aware of SJP's advantages and who they are, living in their area for over 30 years and seeing many games, particularly when played in my neighborhood at Widener and O'Hara.Private schools all have the same advantages as far as no boundaries but I think what sets prep apart from other private schools is their schedule.

I think it’s due to the demographics of this board, like half of this pages users are SJP alumni. That’s why they’re brought up alot on here. If you look at WPIAL pages on Twitter and Facebook, there is a lot of arguments regarding PCCDrip. I'm well aware of SJP's advantages and who they are, living in their area for over 30 years and seeing many games, particularly when played in my neighborhood at Widener and O'Hara.
And of course, PCC is not the same as SJP. I wasn't clear. What I rarely see on this board is any mention of the substantial gulf between PCC and boundary schools they play. Where's that outcry?
Private schools that opt to have successful football teams like PCC, McDevitt and others well known to the board have advantages and resources Central Dauphin, Downingtown, Parkland, Harrisburg, State College and most of the highly successful boundary schools don't have. Of course there are exceptions. Transfers happen.
My point was as much as people are quick to unendingly point out SJP's advantages, they seem most hesitant to mention those of McDevitt's, PCC's, et al relative to boundary schools they play.
I’m just speaking facts. People just don’t want to hear itI'm not a PCC fan nor am I a prep hater. Prep is what they are. NA you on the other hand are a PCC hater. I guess the blow out win is still a little fresh.
That's pretty common for prep.Just a quick search comes up with this. I'm sure when it's all said and done, this 2023 Prep team will end up having anywhere between 25 and 30 D1 kids on it
