Does NP play Prep next year?
February 21st, 2012 at 11:21 pm
LaSalle playing NP at NP week 1 and playing Wood week 7 under new PCL format unless Bonner and Egan stay open and they change everything again. North Penn week one is definite.
February 21st, 2012 at 10:35 pm
@ Greg:
They used to on a regular basis. Many still do. When I was in high school, if you were on the football team, you HAD to go out for wrestling. It was one way they made you stay in shape. Today, the superstar football players don’t wanna risk injury. Those kids are vying for a football scholarship.
Agreed, wrestling is undeniably the toughest sport in high school ( or college). Followed closely by soccer, then football.
February 21st, 2012 at 10:02 pm
Why don’t we see more football players wrestling? If they want better balance, agility and tackling prowess, this is the toughest sport in the school.

@ Dan:
Sorry, me bad. I have been saying ACC and all the time I meant Wood. Brain-Fart.
@ newman:
Yes, I also heard NP plays Wood 2nd game. I don’t think that NP plays LaSalle again. I heard that contract is over. Hope I’m wrong, but that’s my understanding.
February 21st, 2012 at 8:53 am
I have read that North Penn is playing Archbishop Wood in week 2 this upcoming season. Those two teams and LaSalle are said to all be playing each other, with each team playing the other two. Now that sounds great.
February 21st, 2012 at 12:50 am
@hentz
ACC opens with Allen and then has 9 straight LVC games. No NP.Go to the team info tab at the top of this page and you will find ACC’s schedule.
February 20th, 2012 at 8:22 pm
@ Dan:
Someone on this blog told me NP plays ACC early next season. They had thought it was the 2nd game. What I’m wondering now is if those two ( NP/ACC) meet at all. I certainly hope so. Can anyone here verify? It would have to be in one of the first 3 games of the season. After that, NP gets into their regular league schedule.
February 20th, 2012 at 5:01 pm
@ hentz
ACC has Freedom the second game of the season in 2012.
February 19th, 2012 at 4:32 pm
In liu of Berwick/ ACC, you can see NP/ACC next year. Second game of the season. Neither team should be that down, should be helluva game.
February 19th, 2012 at 3:15 am
too bad acc will prob be down next year id love to see an old berwick acc rematch just like the 90′s
February 18th, 2012 at 8:16 pm
young guns at berwick will show thier skills keep an eye on will updegrove 6’4″ 220 te/de and for those of you who know eastern pa football c j curry grandson of coach curry will make an impact starting at qb
February 17th, 2012 at 7:01 pm
Wyomissing is going to be loaded- especially watch Alex Anzalone- LB already has offers from Alabama, BC, FL, Ohio State and numerous others. With Lancaster Catholic moving up the main roadblock could be romoved.
February 16th, 2012 at 12:32 am
look out for shane simpson who started for easton as a freshman this year hes gonna be a special talent. he played wr this yr but look for him to be a versatile tailback in the future. the kid has an icredible skill set.
February 15th, 2012 at 9:05 pm
Keep an eye on Berwick to return to glory and make a state run!!!
February 14th, 2012 at 5:11 pm
@ OLCoach:
Please don’t tell me someone actually let’s you coach anyone?!?
February 13th, 2012 at 10:01 am
I think it has more to do with expenses than anything else. I can’t imagine how much it must cost to run a “national” program like Bosco or Bergen. Must mean a whole lotta bake sales and car washes. You have to be drinking the program”s kool aid to justify spending that kind of money on High School football.
February 12th, 2012 at 11:06 pm
Appreciate your clarity. Playing top teams nationally is not an advantage though. It’s a disadvantage. So that’s not a valid excuse as to why the N.Jersey programs are better. The PCL just needs to get with the program. The last legit team was the ’03 Prep team. And sheer population isn’t the only factor either. Look at Thomas Aquinas from Ft.Lauderdale, FL. They’re a national powerhouse. And we have a lot more people in the Phila. region.
February 11th, 2012 at 6:19 pm
I meant playing games nationally. Takes alot to build a program and are willing to take the show on the road to other top programs
February 10th, 2012 at 9:19 pm
When you say that the Bosco and Bergen programs are going nationl — do you mean that they actually recruit nationally? I know they play teams from all over the country but I don’t know about national recruiting.
February 10th, 2012 at 7:03 pm
Watch out for martin luther king high in philly. ive heard they have a transfer from the pottsville area by the name of Carey Bostick. Watch out for this fifteen year old Beast, hes going to shake the city up.
February 10th, 2012 at 10:09 am
Give it time. The PCL has only been in the PIAA for just a few years. The Bosco and Bergen programs are going National by the way. That’s a whole different level.
February 9th, 2012 at 7:46 pm
The private schools in PA don’t recruit well enough. At the AAAA level public schools have won 19 of the 24 state titles. Maybe Don Bosco Prep, Bergen Catholic, St. Peter’s Prep, and even St. Joe’s Montvale could conduct a seminar for the PCL.
February 9th, 2012 at 2:49 pm
@nick7del. Great comeback. Anything else?
February 9th, 2012 at 1:03 pm
@paulfromphilly why are you still posting stuff on here, I thought it was already implied that you were on comment timeout.
February 9th, 2012 at 11:11 am
He is a very, very special running back from West Catholic who’s looking for a school to go to. I’d heard that O’Hara was the front runner for him.
February 8th, 2012 at 9:27 pm
Who’s that?
February 8th, 2012 at 6:17 pm
Don’t now how true just heard David Williams registered at lasalle ….
February 4th, 2012 at 9:37 am
Last post clarification Ridley D1 Champs 2007 AND 2009; not 2007 through 2009.
February 4th, 2012 at 6:47 am
@mattyG and hentz
I think matty means he feels Ridley is not much mentioned in the discussions of the great football programs currently. I can see both sides of that. The Green Raiders have reached the 500-win list in the shortest time of any team on the list, only starting 1934. Some teams on the list started 1888, 1892, most by 1910. That’s amazing. Flip side,their last state championship appearance 1990; D1 champs 2007 – 2009. There always seem to be at least one or more little bit better teams in the east each year for some reason. Plus I think there might be a new sheriff in the Central League, and his initials are G V.
February 3rd, 2012 at 7:44 pm
@ mattyG:
What’s that mean?
@ Brian:
I agree. Pennridge will be good. Should be beter then last year. They play a tough schedule that’s for sure. With the likes of Neshaminy, NP etc. Maybe make the playoffs since they are keeping 16 teams. I wish them luck.
@ paulfromphilly:
nick7del is making a fool of you! You gonna let him get away with that?
February 3rd, 2012 at 2:45 pm
Ridley continues to get thrown under the bus i see.
February 3rd, 2012 at 2:09 pm
@ hentz
I like Pennridge this coming year, my buddies son goes there and they literally have everyone coming back. They only lost 3 guys on both sides of the ball. They have an incredible backfield with Class & Crawford both back and a seasoned offensive line. They had a bad start last year but once they got the right kids in place (all underclassmen) they had a winning season. You should have seen the 2-0 loss to CR South. Definately a good loss. Time will tell.
I will give you Wood. Definately a great team. I’ll take High School Football over the pros anyday of the week.
February 2nd, 2012 at 6:00 pm
@ Brian:
If you are only counting AAAA schools, I think your pick are a bit out of order there. If you count all large schools ( AAAA & AAA ), Wood would have to be first.
Man you sure are a homer. Pennridge 3rd? I don’t mind if you’re right, I like Pennridge ( my grandkids go to that school district), but I think Neshaminy, Pennsbury, D-town East etc. etc. will have something to say about that.
I think it’s LaSalle, then maybe NP, etc. for AAAA only.
February 2nd, 2012 at 4:52 pm
I dont see what the big issue is, if a kid wants to go to a Private school for football or academics he has every right too. You guys have to get off your high horses. It’s High School Football, not the pros. I enjoy watching both public & private league games and both are equally good. As for Nate Smith it shouldn’t matter, I hope he does well. Just remember their kids trying to get ahead.
My top three picks for the SE in 2012 are North Penn, LaSalle & Pennridge
February 2nd, 2012 at 2:38 pm
@Buddy. Yup still waiting. If he took me to school I hope it’s La Salle. At least there I can get free room, according to him.
February 2nd, 2012 at 1:51 pm
@ Paul:
Well I see nick7 certainly took you to school. Are you still waiting………….?
February 2nd, 2012 at 1:12 pm
@nick7del again. And just so you know something as a fact, I do know something about the program. My son was on the team for the last 4 years. 4 PCL championships, 3 city or D12 Championships, 2 semi-finals appearances and a State Championship. Now what states were those boys from. Oh I forgot it doesn’t matter, they were living at school. Moron!
February 2nd, 2012 at 1:02 pm
@ nick7del. I don’t know why you would make it up. Let’s go on the premise that you didn’t. Name the states. Name the counties, and the players. Maybe it’s the same reason why you made up the statement that La Salle is now a boarding school for all the out of state help. Just keep throwing that stuff nick if it makes you feel better.
February 2nd, 2012 at 12:52 pm
@Joey. Someone took down my previous post where I called you a hick. According to the U.S. census bureau. Philly has 1.5 million. Montgomery county has 700,000. Bucks has a half a million, Delaware has a half a million. Granted I’m stupid, as you said, but that number does not add up to 6 million. That’s half the state in and around Philly. You really believe that? And numbers don’t mean anything. Maybe it’s the coaching and the program. That’s when I called you a friggin hick.
February 2nd, 2012 at 12:13 pm
@paulfromphilly like why would I make that up, exactly I have no reason to, so stop acting like you know every little thing that goes on because I guess you didn’t realize that kids can live at Lasalle so that bus doesn’t have to make those trips everyday.
@Brian Hope…The thing is though is that doesn’t happen MOST of the time and a perfect example is Nate Smith who from George Washing to Wood for “academic purposes” like come on everyone knows that’s not true, he just went there to play football but as long as he has that excuse it’s allowed.
February 2nd, 2012 at 11:51 am
@ Joey. Sorry I called you a friggin hick, but when people make over the top statements without anything to go on, well it pisses me off. Just as an example about La Salle, their only returning starter on the defensive or offensive line this year was a student who was 6’2″ and weighed 205. For a lineman. Either they don’t do a very good job recruiting or that student was pretty well coached and bought into the program. And I’m sure your teeth outnumber your tattoos by a few.
February 1st, 2012 at 5:35 pm
@nick7del. I’m a big fan of Continental League public school football and I have no problem with school choice or vouchers, if a kid wants to go to a private school to play ball or get a better education so be it. It looks like you lean a little to far to the left.
February 1st, 2012 at 3:11 pm
@Paul there are 6 million people living in the philadelphia metro area. 1.5 million live in the city of philadelphia, but thank you for trying to smart and sounding dumb. So 3 schools got to draw from 6 million people I would hope that they could find 22 players each
February 1st, 2012 at 10:46 am
@nick7del. 4 states. I’m still scratching my head over that one. If it were true, what states are you talking about. Pennsy and I guess you’re thinking Jersey. I’ll give you Jersey (even though none of the players were from Jersey) but then where are you off to for the other two? Delaware? Ok (still no one from Delaware but OK) So you’re up to three. Now where do they go for the fourth state. Maryland? New York? Ohio? That little yellow school bus must be good miles per gallon!!
February 1st, 2012 at 9:37 am
@nick7del. Name them. You can’t. You know why. Because that is just not true. “4 states.” Name them. Let’s see, Pennsylvania,……still waiting? 7 counties? Lets see. Montgomery, Philadelphia, Bucks,……..still waiting? Bring info to the discussion nick7del. Don’t just throw stuff on the wall to see what sticks. Go talk to the PIAA if you don’t like the situation. Or else shut your piehole and play the game ya big crybaby!
January 31st, 2012 at 8:49 pm
@paulfromphilly Lasalle gets kids from out of state too, their championship team in ’09 had kids from 4 states and 7 counties. Must be nice to hand pick the best talent there is instead of just working with the ones that come up through the district.
January 31st, 2012 at 6:03 pm
@ Paul:
I’m pretty sure they don’t play again this year ( LaSalle/NP). However, according to Garfield below, NP & Wood hook up this year. If so, helluva match up. Wood should get that game.
January 31st, 2012 at 3:30 pm
@Joey again. I think your numbers are a little screwed up too. There are only 12 million people in the state of Pennsylvania. So you’re saying the PCL has their pick of half the state? Must be something to see that little yellow school bus stop off in Harrisburg or Scranton to pick up all the players that want to come to the PCL. As I said before, your beef is with the PIAA. Tell them to change the rules. But until they do, the PCL will continue to play by those rules.
January 31st, 2012 at 1:09 pm
@hentz you are correct. The last is the one that’s remembered. That’s why it hurts. And I’m pretty sure they play again this year.
@Joey. Stop with the recruiting. It’s called open enrollment. The PIAA is the one you have a problem with. And beyond NP, Neshaminy and I’ll throw in Pennsbury (why I don’t know) who else is in your very competitive league?
January 30th, 2012 at 4:24 pm
@ Paul:
It’s only the last game that’s remembered ( and most important).
@ Garfield:
Wood & NP next season? Do you have a link to these schedules? They usually don’t know this early.
@ Paul again:
U sure ’bout LaSalle/NP next season? I heard it was only a 2 year contract.
January 30th, 2012 at 3:14 pm
@Paul you have 3 good teams in the PCL one in each classfication (prior to West closing)with a population of about 5 million people factor in how far people commute to those 3 schools and that number is prob closer to 6 or 7 million. Your right very competitive 3 teams and now 2 get there pick of the best kids in huge area!!! You should win state titles every year with those advantages. The rest of the teams stink! That is not being competitive. If it is such a competitive league why hasnt Wood nd Lasalle played every year? What the problem niether team could get arch bishop who cares off there schedlue?
January 30th, 2012 at 1:15 pm
@hentz. It seems you forgot that La Salle’s record against NP the last two years is 3 and 1 so whose regular season record looks bad. Their record over the last three years, playoffs included, is 39 and 5.
January 30th, 2012 at 1:07 pm
@hentz La Salle does play North Penn during the regular season next year.
@Joey If La Salle wins another State Championship next year, you have to put them in that conversation. PCL people are not absurd. The PCL is just as competitive as the rest of the state. We have great teams, good teams and bad teams just like every other division or league in the state. Just not as many. The SOL? Oh wow, let’s see. NP, Neshaminy……waiting……still waiting.
January 30th, 2012 at 11:35 am
Archbishop wood gets north penn in week 2 next season
January 28th, 2012 at 4:20 pm
Instead of D2 what about D4?
January 27th, 2012 at 3:23 pm
@Paul Dynasty? A Dynasty is Berwick, CB West, ACC 1990′s, Mount Carmel, Southern Columbia. The PCL people are absurd
January 26th, 2012 at 6:19 pm
@ paul:
So you’re predicting a state championship for next year? Hmmmmmmmm. Gutsy. Well they don’t play that other dynasty ( North Penn), during the regular season, so they should have a good record going into the playoffs ( unless they play Bergen again). Then they might run into NP again in the Eastern Final, since they decided not to re-align the districts. Frankly, LaSalle will have a better chance to get to the final than NP. North penn loses a whole lot. Of course, they usually just re-load also.
January 26th, 2012 at 4:10 pm
Just keep your eyes on La Salle. They lose alot of seniors this year, but they just seem to reload. Magarity and Wade will be gone from the offensive backfield but they have two freshmen moving up that will take their places. Herron and Meachim. How about five straight PCL titles, 4 straight city titles (D12) and 4 straight trips to the state semis. And maybe, just maybe two State Championships in 4 years. Did I hear someone say Dynasty?
January 24th, 2012 at 9:37 am
Jordon Gray will be tough but Nazareth loses alot on the offensive side.
Easton should be really good…they need to find a QB as is the case every year but alot of young talent especially on the OL & DL
January 23rd, 2012 at 9:17 pm
Gray, the Freshman? Was it determined that he is 16? If not quite a few people owe him an apology, if he is 16, those who hyped him up should be ashamed of themselves
January 23rd, 2012 at 7:06 pm
Jordon Gray/ Nazareth
January 20th, 2012 at 11:26 am
Aginst Wyoming Area Robbie had 23 Carries for 198 yds 4 TD. 1 KR 80 yds 1 TD, 5 Solo Tackles and a pass deflection. YOu can go to youtube and search for his video, just search his name. The second game of the year he tore his ACL on the first play of the game. From what I am hearing he is almost 100 % now and is looking bigger and stronger. He ran a 10.6 at districts hand held time in the prelims. I agree with you he is a tremendous DB and also a tremendous WR.
January 20th, 2012 at 9:50 am
I will be looking for Siclari. 6’2″ 210 & a 10.9 100m, WOW! I hope Bill O’Brien recruits him for PSU! I can see a kid like that delivering crushing blows from SS/FS because if he’s that size now, how big will he be in 2 years?
Is he listed in Rivals.com/PaPreps.com?
January 19th, 2012 at 9:02 pm
I am agreeing with you…But an all state selection no matter what the process still counts. I agree that people is a def first teamer. i am just gave a run down of d2′s top players and my sleeper team. I also gave my biggest sleeper for the 2012 seaason, names Robbie Siclari. He would have been the best player comming out of D2 this year if not for the injury. he is 6-2 210 lbs and runs a 10.9 100m . He might just be the most explosive player, just look at his stats.
January 19th, 2012 at 10:19 am
D2, Coughlin has a couple good players. Joe Parsnik is a very fine back (just like his dad…maybe better) certainly worthy of an All-State slot. 1st team tho over Brandon Peoples of AB Wood who has a full ride to Temple? Another problem with PFN’s process is they rely heavily on MaxPreps’ stats (a great site btw). Coaches ain’t great at data entry. There’s kids w/1000 yards rushing on championship teams who only show 400-500 yards. If you go by MaxPreps Peoples had only 395 yds & Parsnik, 1592. In EXCEL its a no brainer, right? But Wood’s coach doesn’t sweat MaxPreps. Its widely known that Peoples went over 1000 yards on a championship team. I’d be willing to bet even though Parsnik and Peoples are of somewhat similar size, Peoples’ 40 time is probably 2/10 sec faster than Parsnik…who again I agree should have a slot on the all state team. Not meaning to take shots at him because he’s a hardnosed runner with lots of skills…def should be all state. I’m more questioning PFN’s process.
January 19th, 2012 at 9:55 am
Watch out for LaSalle. Should have fastest defense in the state. Nobody will be able to throw on them. Very young team but huge O line and D line will carry them until young bucks are ready to roll. It’s nice to see a team who plays 30-40 kids every game in regular rotations, who develop them and watch them grow in their 4 years. No big time recruits as far as D1 goes, just committed,tough kids who play smart. Hoffman & Speteri will anchor the line– each is over 6’3″ and 275, both have 4.0 averages in school too, Ivy or Patriot recruits. Everyone pays their way at LaSalle and 80% of kids had a family member attend before them. Tuition is $18,000
January 19th, 2012 at 7:28 am
I agree with coughlin getting all those kids on the team. But coughlin was not a bad team and they do have some talent comming back. they always seem to have big linemen and at least a good running back every year.
January 18th, 2012 at 10:23 pm
Jim, I was serious. With all those dominant kids perhaps it will harken back to the 90′s when Berwick was dominant and Dallas and Hanover challenged. They would nicely augment the smaller schools like Old Forge, Riverside and Dunmore. If Hazleton can get a run going well…maybe you’re being pompous…why can’t D2 dominate again?
After what I just said, sorry for this D2, but you kind of lost me when you mentioned the PFN all state team…no credibility when a 5-6 Coughlin team has more All-State kids than state finalist Bishop McDevitt. Its great for the kids to be named All State…something to tell the grandkids. And those PFN guys do work tirelessly to promote PA Football. But that All State team looks like nothing more than if a coach put his kids name in, the kid made it. They must have rejected some kids but it sure doesn’t look like it…
January 18th, 2012 at 4:16 pm
Rollie time to take your meds, these are opinions from readers in their various readers. You pompous response is uncalled for.
January 18th, 2012 at 12:24 pm
Don’t sleep on Christopher Sutton. 5’11 165 1bs. Will be excellect on both sides of the ball and special teams as well.
January 18th, 2012 at 7:49 am
D2 is going to have some tough football next year. If you look up an down the board every team seems to have at least one good player. case in point The western wayne team went 3-7 last year but had 2 kids make PFN all- state team. They have a Qb who is your proto type pocket passer 6-3 and threw for 1200 yards. They have a ATH in James berger who can do it all and a LB Conner Rosensweet who plays the game mean, old school.
I might go as far as putting this team as my sleeper team for this year. They lost prob the best player in D2 last year in Robbie Siclari and he is back. I saw him in a scrimmage and he tore up Lackawanna Trail and he hardly carried the ball, If I remember he had three picks. Then aginst Wyoming area he put on a show, that might have been the best performance i have ever seen by a kid. At 6-2 210 LBS thats a name to look out for.
January 17th, 2012 at 2:45 pm
With all those dominant (I believe that’s what David asked for) players, District 2 should own PA football across all classifications next year. Looking forward to it.
January 17th, 2012 at 12:47 am
PAC-10 in District 1:
Pottsgrove: Sr Madison O’Connor OL 6’6″ 320, 1st team all state in 2011
Pottsgrove: Sr Tory Hudgins QB 6′ 175, 1530 yds rushing & 27 TDs, 35-60 passes 655 yds 10 TD passes & just 1 INT.
Spring-Ford: Jr Jarred Jones, RB 5’10″ 180, 1520 yds rushing & 20 TDs
January 15th, 2012 at 6:09 pm
Ok, that some serious research! There are so many kids/schools and AAAA to A to choose from. Thanks for the info, love to see the kids get acknowledged.
January 15th, 2012 at 12:30 pm
To jeff:
i went with stats and all star picks and bids also coaching aginst some of these guys also played a factor.
January 14th, 2012 at 6:25 pm
to D2 is there any order to your picks?
January 13th, 2012 at 7:51 pm

Delaware Valley in District 2 is going to be tough in 2012. They have their all conference QB plus many starters coming back next year.

I agree with John Thomas. Ryan Zapoticky from Dallas was an honorable mention PFN All State QB and should be a player to watch for 2012. Dallas has a nucleus of returning players and should contend in AAA.

DV will be there and have some kids on a few lists

Garnet Valley is gonna have high expectations again. With a lot of talent returning, they will be expected to make another run. Springfield, Ridley, and Strath Haven will also be frontrunners to contend for the Central Leauge.

Mackenzie Crawford from Pennridge High School a 6’2″ 225 lb FB/OLB very quick and probably one of the strongest running backs in the state. Currently being recruited by several D1 schools and has a 3.9 GPA in the classroom.

@ HSfan
When I saw the LVC all-stars list I was shocked that his name was not on there. I am not an Easton fan, but I have watched Brown since his sophomore year and he is one of the better LBs in the league.

austin brown lb/fb from easton. the kid got snubbed on every conference all star team voting out there. one of the best linebackers in the state being recruited by big 10 and big east schools had 122 tackles on a very good easton team

Ryan Zapoticky of Dallas, hes got great potential and even quit basketball to work on his football game. Not the biggest kid around but very tough and athletic.
