So long Downingtown East… Unpredictable loss to the #16 seed Wissahickon.
Jimbo that what great about h.s football we can talk all we want but it going to be decided on the field
The MVC is bad football. The LVC was stupid to let the 2 Allentown schools leave for the MVC it gave all those MVC teams a win. Stroudsburg and PV would 5-5/4-6 in the LVC.
@mark, you say Scranton is underestimated; fact is they have played 7 AAA teams. There, you have your answer.
Eastern Conference? Really? That’s what you come up with, Eastern Conference? Really? A bunch of .500 teams who should be at home this time of year?
Scranton will get their chance to prove it on the field; good luck.
MP/DTown,
The Coatesville coach is Matt Ortega. Turned York-William Penn into a legit playoff contender & coached the Bearcats’ first and only 500-point scoring team in 2008 (530 points in 12 games). He’s 67-31 overall between WP & Coatesville. Definitely one of the top coaches in Chester County.
I am used to getting comments/criticism on these rankings (have heard from Coatesville, Tamaqua, Stroudsburg, Catasauqua, Schuylkill Valley, Berks Cath., D2 posters, etc. just in this season alone), but I never really thought about needing to ease up. After reading your comment, I can see where you are coming from and how it comes off that way as needing to do so. Thanks for the observation.
Classic Coatesville logic
ps Also remember Scranton beat Del Valley,Abington ,Valley View & Wyoming Valley West on the road.
I dont know why every body under estimates Scranton,they beaten 2 AAA playoff teams 1 AAAA playoff team and AAA and AAAA playing in the eastern conference. Have you seen them play, they have great team speed on defence and play makers all over on offence i said it before it going to tkae a very good team playing at the top of it game to beat Scranton
CVILLE FAN, Bro I’m totally w/ you on this one to a certain point. Put it to you you this way. As you can tell by my handle I played at two of the schools, a few years back, that each handed you losses this year. I attended both games this season, in the ville no less. You guys lost to a, once in a blue moon, sub-par Malvern team weak one. Then a few weeks later lost to a D-town East team on a shaky call,at best,last play of the game. That’s coming from a HUGE East fan. I also got to witness your Raiders take apart D-town West a bit later in the season. What I see is a definite work in progress. Big time. If I’m correct in what I think I’m seeing. The Red Raiders should make ALLOT of noise in these up coming playoffs. I myself wouldn’t want to face you right now. Tons of weapons, a huge line, and very well coached. I’m not sure of the new coaches name. I know he’s from York, but he looks to soon be having Coatesville back to where Dominick had them. Josh, Please ease up on my Chest-mont brother. I know your doing your job. You do it well. I enjoy and respect your opinion. Always have bro. I think it’s great to see the emotion you bring out of people. Take it as a compliment. I LOVE high school football. Cant wait to see what the post season brings us!!!!
yes, Stroudsburg IS NOT A TOP TEN TEAM. Just looking for a little love 🙂
Stroudsburg had several key injuries for the Northampton and week 1 with a complete new look team is a toss up. Also watch the whitehall scrimmage if you want to go back that far. With that being said, There are 3 MVC teams in districts and 1 in Eastern Conference. The LVC had the benefit of a bye week for years beating on Allen/Dieruff so they join the MVC. That should be held against them? Besides Del Val, and abington heights, who did Scranton beat?
markd , Scranton would get Del Val or Whitehall. Del Val’s #1 Receiver/DB, FB and Nose guard were not playing. They are back @ 100%. Tough to beat the same twice in the same season.
