Jeez, where does the time go. We got 60 days, + or – for week 0 scrimmages. What teams on the East are we looking at this year to make deep stretches.

In reply to Kevin X. Another butt hurt.....Fire away! The bill allows the PIAA to create separate playoffs and state championships but does not legally force them to do so. Grab your popcorn. If it gets to that stage, get ready for a bunch of lawsuits. Wouldn't surprise me if it would go all the way to SCOTUS..however I highly doubt it gets that far. This will get stuck in the mud half way, JMO

I grew up around Hayden and have had the honor of watching and being along side him as he’s developed his game . On and off the field he’s always had the backs of myself and all of his surrounding peers and teammates, there isn’t a selfish bone in his body.

In reply to JCo. Based on the total number of schools, all 6A/5A private schools would have to be in the big-school division, and also some 4A schools probably.

In reply to JCo.

JCo So 6A playoff would basically be the Catholic Red (Prep, LaSalle, Roman), PCC and McDevitt…4 team playoff done in 2 weeks or add 5A non boundary schools to this bracket? Just playing scenarios in my brain…lol

In reply to Mike D. IMO you can still have 2-3 good playoff brackets filled with just non-boundary teams. There's usually about 50-60 non-boundary schools in Pennsylvania and generally over 50% are good for their size. They would be smaller brackets than what we have now (I'd say between 8-16 teams), but honestly that might be a good thing.

Some district 12 classification movement, but not official, some just speculation and educated guessing….

Roman (and D3’s) McDevitt) I believe are both being “Promoted” to 6A from 5A due to the Competition Formula/Success Factor, or whatever they call it.
Imhotep is dropping back to 5A.
Father Judge is bumped up to 6A due to enrollment (so you’ll have Judge, Roman, The Prep, and LaSalle all 6A in the PCL).
Neumann-Goretti appears now to be 2A by enrollment. Will they play-up and remain at 3A??
Wood is 3A by enrollment, but guessing they may elect to stay at 4A. Think they were 3A this past cycle (enrollment wise), but either played up to 4A or they were still caught up in the Competition Formula and were only allowed to move down to 4A from 5A (after being bumped up to 6A several years ago).

Feel free to correct me or add to any of this.
