Went to Southern Columbia...played football. We were all scared of the field hockey team! I guess we'd have to agree the football is pretty solid now.

 

[LionJim]

Neshaminy has always been a football school. They were also good at soccer when I was there. (My first year at PSU saw five starters on the PSU soccer team from Neshaminy.)

Reading High obviously.

Last Spring when RHS was in the playoffs, my buddy and I were at the Queen City Diner for lunch before we went up to New York for the Big East final. RHS had a game that evening and the Reading players and coaches came in for their pregame meal. I'm looking at the guys and thinking - I got my quarterback, my running backs, my DB's and my receivers. I need some beefier guys to play TE/LB and line, but what a great start!

Most of the men on hoops are good-to-tremendous athletes, even the weakest player on varsity is a good enough ballplayer to get on the field for high school football. Reading is such a huge school, you got lots of raw athletic talent, I'm sure there are plenty of tough guys where football would channel their aggression positively and give them some discipline. So how come Reading football is so awful? You guys should be terrorizing the league.

 

[michnittlion]

Soccer powerhouse when I was there. Then we fired the coach, now we are not a powerhouse. Just hired him back though.

Currently a football powerhouse.

My calculator tells me that I am, as the bird flies, 1161 miles away from the alma mater.

You went to Blackhawk HS? I have relatives who went/played there.

As for my school, we were good at track & field. Not especially good at football...we were the team that everyone wanted to play for their homecoming.

Now, I have no idea. It’s a smaller district that honestly would benefit from merging with some of the other smaller districts in the area.

600 miles away

[phillybillyreprise]

Then none. Football was new. Basketball was okay. Track and field had a world class javelin thrower. Rest of us okay. Wrestling stank. I was one of two who won in the first round of sectionals. Baseball was okay. Tennis was bad.

Now no longer a rural high school but a suburban school district. Teams in most sports are very competitive.

75 miles

 

[yeahtoasty]

Gateway was and is a football-first district.

I now live 25 miles away in Shaler. Dismal football, baseball seems to be our thing.

 

[CDLionFL]

Then...it was probably wrestling but we didn't win a state title as a school until '97 with baseball (my brother was on the team)

Now...it's definitely wrestling...even though girls basketball and football have nabbed a state title over the last 10 years, wrestling has tacked up a number of banners in the gym over the last 10 years.

Distance -- 978 miles according to Google Maps.
