What an opening week. I'll be at the McD-CV game, it's always a good one. I will be paying particular attention to junior LB/S/RB Devyn Clair, son of former PSU great Eric Clair.

Think I’m going to that game also (weather pending).

This post is the most succinct for PA Football. It is a must if you follow on HS level. Scores are kept pretty up to date. The Eastern PA site does a nice job.

 

[OhioLion]

Umm, hello?!?!
Nobody talking about Edon Bombers traveling to the Ayersville Pilots in NW Ohio?
Both teams doing battle with 32-man rosters.

Nice site.
Recall the days when WePA football ran supreme. But then they closed the steel mills.

Well, that’s very kind of you, very kind.

 

[LionsandBear]

Excited to hear how my old HS QB's son does tonight as a first year starter at QB for Wilson as they take on CD. Interesting situation as his father (& I) played on the first RHS team to beat Wilson at Gurski and his father took down a few of Wilson and PSU legend Kerry Collins' Berks records.

 

[Aardvark86]

Gonzaga 27, Gilman 0. At the half.

Psu offered the zag ‘21 qb

Final 47-0

 

[MtNittany]

Sock down 22-7 to North Schuylkill nearing half. Sounds like future Nova QB from Sock is running for his life on every play.

Some D4 scores and audio if you can sift through the horrible fox radio format: Link

 

[Ceasar]

Halftime, McDevitt 27, Cumberland Valley 14. Devyn Clair, son of PSU great Eric Clair, is a beast. Junior LB-FB. Program lists him as 6-1, 230 and he looks like it.

 

[oldlion57]

Dave Bell and Warren Central played Trinity of KY tonight. Dave Bell had 5 receptions for 123 yds and two touchdowns. Warren Won 4241

Relayer, just saw the final of the NP/Neshaminy game. From the looks of the score it must have been a hell of a game.

 

[norcalion]

See earlier post re img/pine game. Bottom line is that img will pretty much steamroll any team. However, they play at Mateir dei in a couple weeks and that will be interesting.

You picked a heck of a game to attend to start off the HS season. Neshaminy went for the 2-pt conversion (and the win) in the 2nd OT, but came up short.

Good game, no quit in the Redskins and their quarterback Brody McAndrew.

The QB is not related to me. Were he related, I would disown him for attending Neshaminy.

[rohrmd9]

Wow...IMG crushed PR. I figured IMG would win but 42-0 on the road over the defending PA 6A champs?!

 

[PAgeologist]

I know most of you follow Central/eastern PA football, but there were some good games in the Laurel Highlands (D5 and D6) Friday night. Seems that a good many of the usual powers lost, some badly. Ridge (my Alma mater) over Forest Hills, Johnstown and Bishop McCort both lost as well to typically weaker foes.

IMG lost badly last week. I think it was to a public team in FLA.

 

[diontechristmas]

My school, Marian Catholic, got smoked by Midd-West. This was Midd-West’s first high school football game in 16 years and those kids did a great job.

Marian Catholic football, and pretty much everyone else in the coal region, are just really bad these days unfortunately. Teams that were very good to great like Berwick and Mt. Carmel are just good and get crushed when they play out of region. Schools that used to be pretty good, like Shamokin, are just awful.

Southern Columbia is the only powerhouse left. A few schools like North Skook remain solid, but the overall coal region football scene is a bit depressing these days.

IMG is listed as being 1-0 and state they have a 38 game winning streak.

 

[BUFFALO LION]

No they didn't. They haven't lost since 2014.

This year, they have kids from 18 different states and Canada. So much for Florida football.

 

[djr4rebs]

IMG has a blue and a white team.

 

[norcalion]

Not the national team. Img has 2 varsity teams. The national team hasn't lost in over 3 years.

Not really far, IMG recruits on a national/world wide level. But it is fun to live here and watch them play.

 

[norcalion]

Fair...

 

[norcalion]

Img can't actively recruit FL kids, due to a deal struck with the high school sports association down here. So they have to recruit from everywhere.

 

[BUFFALO LION]

So are you saying there are no Florida kids at all on the team? It's just a team of national and international all-stars? No wonder Florida football is so good. They aren't really Florida kids at all.

Not quite. There are FL kids on the team, but img can't actively recruit them. If they happen to approach omg, then that's ok. I know its ridiculous and impossible to enforce, but that's the deal that was struck. I would guess fewer than half are from FL. I know that the baseball program has only a few FL kids. Lots of foreigners. It's pretty cool.

Real cool. IMG has players from 18 different states plus Canada. It's a football factory. P-R was foolish to schedule them IMO.

Great game, unlike PR-IMG. Coatesville is still the solid favorite to come out of the east, but these two should go deep into the D1 playoffs.

No doubt img is a football factory. But if you want to see how good you are on the natl stage, they're the ones to play. Img goes to Vegas, DC, s cal, and Miami in the next few weeks to play it's real competition. We'll see if they can survive this run.
