Wood starting backfield - sorry Owls

[Burgundynewz]

Jarrett McClenton would have gone to Bensalem
Alex Arcangeli would have gone to Bensalem

Notice I didn't say should just saying would

Bensalem needs to do a better job of finding a way to keep their kids in their schools

From a public school perspective, yes, Jarrett would have attended Bensalem.

More specifically, McClenton would have attended Conwell-Egan. Jarrett's brother, Jeff, was standout wr/db for CEC from '01-'04.

When Jarrett was finishing 8th grade his mother was fearful about CEC closing and opted for Wood instead.

Boy, was that ever the right decision. The rest is history as they say.

FYI: Arcangeli did go to Bensalem, for 3 years!!

 

[Burgundynewz]

All correct

 

[reluctant_to_comment]

Along with D'Andre Pollard and Breon Clark. What a shame for Bensalem. They had the talent in their system at one time.

Sounds like the makings of a good 4x400 relay.

If one had a choice, why would anyone want to go to Bensalem!

Nope.

Bensalem is not a very good school; it's not the worst, but it is far from special. The more important point is that the football program is way down.

Whaaattt?! I don't know if you meant that the way it sounded.

Football isn't more important and shouldn't have anything to do with. If Wood's a better school maybe THAT is why Bensalem football is suffering.

ptomaselli, I was clearly (or maybe not!) referring to Bensalem from a high school football player's perspective.

I hear you. Makes sense. From a parent's perspective, if Wood's better academically and they're better at football and they're giving me an assist...what parent wouldn't?
