Assuming the Prep and Coatsville play for the championship it may be the most anticipated final ever . It would be a great contest for sure.Someone’s mad.... and I have a d1 team in coatesville winning the state championship soo
I think you just added to his point.Also from east to west/ west to east in PA is about a 6 hour drive buddy

Who cares how far the drive is as a player you’ll go wherever and play whoever. Honestly I think it makes for more drama and more fun for these kids.
Go wherever and play whoever. Unless you are in District 1 or 3 where you complain about not getting to go to Hershey. That isn't a complaint or a gripe, it is something that actually happened. And Roxy and Relayer are 100% right. The 6 hour drive and Hollidaysburg travelling every week are much bigger issues.
All I am saying is that two districts were upset they don't get to play in Hershey so they complained to have the entire bracket re organized to where 2 districts are on one side of the bracket and 10 districts are on the other side of the bracket. What happened to all the complaining about D12 having a bye until a couple of years ago? Is it now ok that D3 gets a bye in the quarterfinals?
But aren't all the state finals already scheduled for Hershey?Would be a sellout standing room only at Villanova, no doubt.

Also my guess is that in good weather a Prep-Coatesville game at Villanova draws 8-10 thousand, maybe the biggest crowd to see a high school game in the area in quite a while but not enough to fill the stadium.I just don't think there's enough interest among the general public, including the vast majority of people who go to Eagles games, in high school football to result in a crowd of 15,000 or so.
If the brackets were never changed this game would be the east final and the site this year would have been Northeast High. We've been bringing up Villanova on this board for the past 20 years. It is never used, last time was 1992 when Coatesville lost to Jon Ritchie's Cumberland Valley team 22-6.
Nah that’s not true Arch Bishop Wood played I think West Catholic and somebody else. The Red and Blue catholic championships have been there. I may recall Maurice Stovall playing there.
I’m gonna say between 03-06
Didn’t the D1 hoops final play at Villanova a few years back?Its even worse in basketball! How about a Ridley-Chester District 1 semfinal game played at Temple-inside District 12. Or a Lower Merion-Chester state final in State College PA?
Correct, just like SJP and Malvern played there like 10 years ago. I am strictly talking about District 1 and the PIAA playoffs. They like the cheaper venues such as P-W, Souderton and Tennent.
