Hey Suburban1 fan, if you were @ the GV- CBS game last week you would have seen it took until the end of the game for the officials to get it right (you get gifts for christmas not @ football games), yes CRS was the better team tonight, helmets of to them
I Would like to offer my congratulations to Valley View on playing a fantastic game tonight. I am a diehard ACC fan. My son and I were both at the game tonight and we will never see anything like it again. Ever! We were very fortunate to win this game. 584 rushing yards for you guys. Amazing. And 8 touchdown passes from Nosovitch with 496 yards passing. 9 catches and 225 yards and 5 touchdowns for Gulyas. 8 catches and 200 yards for Snyder-Scipio. Like I said probably the greatest game I have ever seen in 40 years.
Great Game VV, Left a few loafs of bread out there but you hung in there with them. Great season for the kids.
GV was probably the worst one loss team out there. they squeaked one out thanks to an ridiculous officiating gift last week, and got punished tonight by CRSouth. Either CR or NP will wear LaSalle down
Would like to give congrats to ACC, QB is amasing;better yet outstanding; some costly turnovers on are end,but one exciting football game! Again congrats ACC! we are VV, GOOD LUCK The rest of the way!! WE’LL be rootin for ya!!
Haha, this is classic.
“If we met in person you wouldn’t be talking to me like that.”
Some internet tough guys here Funkster.
Heck, I chilled with Picciotti in high school and not even Dustin ran at the mouth like that; and he had juice.
How bout them Wood boys!
I know its been a week now, but was anyone at the EC division II championship? North Penn should be disgusted with their stadium and “locker rooms.” I play for Tamaqua, and we took the 2-and-half-hour bus ride, which wasn’t a problem. We pulled up at the school and went in a decent locker room thinking that the field was on the other side of the school. Not the case. The stadium is on the other side of town. At halftime, we were put in a metal garage/barn with a white board and lawn mowers instead of benches. North Penn sat under a tree for half time. They used the public bathrooms and Tamaqua “did our business” in the woods. Also, the officiating was terrible. On the gamewinning touchdown, the North Penn receiver pushed the corner to the ground while the ball was in the air to make the catch, no flag. On the last play, Tamaqua was called for ineligible receiver (which it was), but when the ref was making the call he was giving exaggerating motions as if celebrating. When the teams received their medals, the refs clapped for North Penn but not Tamaqua.
Marvin — Well, the Public 2A schools should be able to compete. None of them are neighborhood schools. Bok can get kids from all over the city, it’s city-wide school. Imhotep, Del Val, Comm. Tech, and Prep Charter are charter schools, that can draw from all over the city. Have you seen some of their basketball teams recently? Enough already!
There are no football scholarships at WC. However, EVERY student in the ENTIRE school is eligible for financial aid. Sure, on average nearly 90% of all WC students get some sort of FA, averaging out at about 50% ot tuition covered. Still, parents are paying something. Furthermore, WC is currently a few boys over the class 1A cutoff.
WC’s mission has always been to service the poor. Thanks to a strong alumni base they have been able to assist in tuition for a lot of kids, who otherwise wouldn’t be able to attend the school over the last 10-15 years. Hopefully, this will continue, but WC is doing great things for the community. 95% of it’s students go onto some sort of college after graduation. That’s the important part.
I hope the officials can get it right this friday @ CRS vs GV. Nobody is perfect but come on, these kids play by the rules so should the refs. Last week GV & CBS not only battled each other but some of the most ridiculous officiating I have seen all year
I heard from a few folks that there are a few philly catholic schools rumored to be on the chopping block. Can anyone shed any light?
Dog 21 i am clueless, thanks for being here. The readers are much smarter with your insights into the catholic schools. We’re soory to single them out. All these great kids just happen to attend these schools for the religious education
Hey marvin 10% is the. Compliment to your 90% so a catholic school say acc has 1200 students? so 10% is 120. Do you concede that maybe 10-20 are those football players who are probably not practicing catholic are getting a free ride. They recruit to elementary and middle school .
For what it’s worth:
CRS over GV
Too much running game, & their defense
much better then CBS
Nazareth over Easton
Simply too much offense
NP over Pennsbury
This is the toughest one. Being an NP
fan, this might be wishful thinking.
Don’t know how NP is gonna handle the
size of Pennsbury. Obviously, being
away doesn’t faze PHS at all. Beck’s
gotta dig down deep for this one.
GV over CR great game kinda of a toss up but something says GV should be a good one
Phs over Np
Easton over Nazareth…. Easton is the champs till they get knocked off right
GV vs CRS… can’t wait to see a great game.CR community has opened their doors to welcome our traveling fan base and “Jag Nation” see you on friday night

This is America and I can make any statement I want, so don’t tell me what I can or cannot say. Got it? And yes I can accurately make the statement that 90% of the parents ARE paying full tuition for their kids. Why? Because it IS a fact. Most Catholic schools are allocated a couple scholarships for families who need financial assistance. Most schools offer 2-3 max! The kids who want to go to ACC,WC, Wood, or any other Catholic school pay the $5,000+ per year. I personally know several players from the inner city of Philadelphia whose parents are working overtime etc to keep their son in the Catholic school. Why? Because they want to give their son a better chance of succeeding, both on and off of the field.
So unless YOU have a “LINK” to back up your comment that Catholic Schools offer scholarships to all of these players, it is simply just speculation on your part now isn’t it?? Do you really think that WC gives numerous scholarships to its football players?
You see, marvin, the difference between my post and your post is quite simple. Your local PUb team gets the snot kicked out of them every year from the rival Catholic team, so you want to cry that it is because they give all of these scholarships out. Nonsense. My post is accurate because I have been associated with catholic Schools for 30+ years and I know how it works.
Got it?
@everyone
watch out everyone, lloyd is trying to pick online fights hahaha.
@ Marvin:
I think you are quoting the wrong comment. I never said a team is “easy’ to beat. Thus, there was no “funny statements”.
@ Lloyd:
Well kodos for the rings. But why you so hostile? You wanted Red’s e-mail address, you wanted to meet me at the game. That’s not the way it goes on these blogs. Threatening people will get you blocked from the website by Dave Mika ( one of the staff). Keep it civil.
I’m Cb west grad won 3 state tittles, I just live in the pennsbury distric and support np because of coach beck and pennsbury is a good team this year and agree with u on a lot of points. But I’ll be honst if phs thought out side the box they would have a little more hardware like I got on my hand thanks guys since u wanna no all about me I got 3 rings let’s just say I’m a winner. Thank you
@Dog21
Please don’t make statements like 90% of the kids at said schools have their parents paying the tuition. Unless you have a link to back your statement than it’s speculation and not fact. West Catholic for a AA enrollment sized school surely does pump out division one players. I am a Philly guy and I know them playing AA isn’t fair. If you notice MOST if not all AA public schools will never be able to compete, it’s not excuses it’s the truth.
@Buddy
If you have the talent any football team is “easy” to beat. That is a really stupid statement. As you watched NA last year destroy LaSalle. They had the talent to stop an Explorer offense which against solid competition was not that explosive. So please quit making really funny statements.
Factual statement: I had a friend who definitely DID not have the money to go to a PCL school. He was a very good football player (late 90’s). They had a sponsor or something along those lines that picked up his tuition tab. Now do I really care about it? Even if it means they win titles and brag like crazy? No, because in the end it’s about getting an education and going on to higher learning. PCL schools do have very good education systems and a lot go on to college and do great things with their lives. I’d love to see the PCL play more Bergen Catholic/Don Bosco type teams. Challenge themselves a little more and play Greater Catholic League (Cincinnati, OH). That is better football than anything we see in the entire state of PA. Those teams would run circles around our teams and bull through our teams. The PCL is like the PSAC and the Greater Catholic League is the SEC of football.
I think the PCL 4A year in and year out is better than any other league in the area. La Salle, St Joes Prep, Roman Catholic would win any SOL conference and Father Judge would contend every single year. 3A this year is pretty good but typically top heavy with Archbishop Wood. 2A is always good just with West Catholic.
La. Sale fans should be a little humble. La Salle has good teams because they have no borders they have kids busses in from 19 school districts and others must supply their own transportation which means all of southeastern Pa. This was not suppose to happen when they joined the PIAA. With catholic schools closing it only made the situation worse. Please back up to your trophy.
Hey Jim
Free tuition? Who? Where? That’s BS. 90% of those kids’ parents pay their own way. You are clueless…
@ Lloyd:
Obviously you are a juvenille. I was only trying to help you. We ( I mean all of us who post here), simply don’t understand a damn thing you’re saying. If you’re a Pennsbury grad, then it sure doesn’t bode well for that school. Stay off this website & stick to maybe Sesame Street.
At s recruiting from inner cities? I thought the students were good catholic Kids? Its a farce, reward kids by giving them free tuition to catholic Schools why the rest of us zlubs work 2 + jobs to keep our heads above water. Tired of kids from irresponsible one parent housholds getting freebies. Sorry let the catholic schools play each other and the public schools play each other.
