yep- good luck to both teams! hope it's a good game- would be interesting to know if either team "holds back"
sure wish Western PA had more than 2 "good big school teams!!"
Absolutely! Looking forward to when P-R and NA meet. P-R dropped 71 on Fox Chapel tonight. Could very well be a school record.
So it looks like it's going to be NA-PCC winner vs State College with winner vs Harrisburg?
I don’t watch any District 3 football, but all of the state rankings seem to have Manheim Township ranked ahead of Harrisburg, including the Born Index, which is usually an interesting power ranking that isn’t necessarily biased by geography or reputations. Harrisburg the clear favorite there?
Despite the LaSalle loss, Harrisburg is good enough to have defeated quality opponents Bishop McDevitt (5-1) 35-33 in ot and State College (6-1) 7-6. They're working on a new qb who is getting it done as he matures throwing for +800 and rushing for over 300. They have the typical sizeable and talented Mid-Penn O-Line and a pile of skill people. So you could put them at the top in 3 knowing there is real competition in CD's sister school CD East (7-0). And as always Township (7-0) and Wilson (6-1) will be right there. So, it's very difficult saying Harrisburg is the best team with such good comp in the district. Seeding to play a BIG role.
Harrisburg 6-1: well tested but have CV, CD and East High left on schedule. Not known much beyond the district that H-burg and CD East are bitter rivals, both being city schools a few miles apart. They'll have to earn it. just to get out of the Mid Penn-Commonwealth Division, always a war.
CD East 7-0: not really tested yet excepting a CV win but loaded with O skill that's veteran. Coming off rival CD win 21-20 could have taken something out of them with State, McDevitt and Harrisburg left on schedule. Phew!
Township 7-0: tested at Central York (5-1) 28-10, CV 42-14 (!) and Plymouth Whitemarsh (5-2, only losses there and Wilson) 20-18. Whitemarsh plays Upper Moreland (6-1) in two weeks to clear up the SOL-A while Township cruises the next two weeks vs Reading (2-5) and Penn Manor (1-5) before the annual collision with Wilson. Nice rebuild after losing a great Qb. But the Streaks somehow always return a core.
Wilson 6-1: Bulldogs show a win at Ply White 21-7 and a loss at Nazareth (5-2) 35-31. Soft ending til game at Township. Like Township, did a lot of rebuilding including Qb. But it's Wilson, going 185-42 under one of the best in Coach Doug Dahms.
** Those would be my top four to duke it out, coming into the postseason battered after conference wars with rivals.
they did themselves a favor and avoided a guaranteed beatdown
apparently it started over a parent complaining about their kids playing time, if your kid isn't getting playing time at Ringgold you need to realize football isn't for him, heck football isn't for most of the kids playing there these days

Eh, I didn’t think that was anything special by NA. PR has been handing games away on a silver platter in the manner you saw last night all season. NA is the team that finally was able to take full advantage of it. Also it was most definitely sealed when Strader got hurt late in the 4th and pr needed a drive.
PR is good this year but I think they are the fourth best 5A team at most, likely even less and looking like one and done in the playoffs if Strader has to miss extended time. The PCC win has really overrated them by media/talking heads, imo they’ve regressed to the mean somewhat with discipline issues and sloppy execution throughout. They’ve put two horrible comebacks by NH and PH against them on tape, games they likely should’ve lost. I believe PR is a year away from really being a dominant team, they only have like ten seniors, very jr heavy with some soph sprinkled in.
