LaSalle people are still whining about the refs?
You won. Give it a rest. Unless, of course, you’re practicing for excuses after a loss to North Penn or North Allegheny.
It really comes off as arrogance. You apparently don’t think Nazareth belonged on the same field with your team, and you’re miffed that they were within one TD.
The refs were not from the Lehigh Valley. This was pointed out before. Do you really think they had an agenda? You sound childish – grow up.
What happened to ACC I expected an extremely close game with two good teams
Joe Cool
You are the only one that saw a PI on that play. catchable or not it was not PI.
The holding calls were more from the trips formation on the outside. They only ran one type of play up the middle. I think a lot of football reporters who know the game saw the bad calls for what they were. No need to worry now.
ACC is getting schooled by the PCL.
@joe cool
You my friend are the casual fan. I am heavily involved in football. The point I was making is the PI happened right in front of me & the ball already hit the ground when the corner & receiver were trying to stop & bumped. I was in the corner of the end zone when it happened. I was also talking to someone that is an official & he also said it was in no way interference. The difference between you & me are that I am a fan of the game & you are obviously a hater of LaSalle. As far as the interception I talked to someone who watched it on t.v. & they did not say what you said. It’s no big deal to me as I enjoyed the game but u obviously didn’t like the outcome.
@Joe Cool: LS is one of the most disciplined team’s around. I assume you are either: A. a ref or B. a Nazareth fan who now finds himself with way too much time on his hands. 15-2 on penalties?? One of the penalties was a sideline penalty. ONE PENALTY called against a team for a whole game?? Sorry your friendly upstate refs could not propel your severely overmatched team forward into the playoffs. LS marches on once more!!
@football fan,
In the Nazareth-LaSalle game you made a reference about the PI call. Did you know in HS football there is no “uncatchable ball” rule? If you interfere with a pass going to an intended receiver then it’s pass interference. Also, before people spout off, the diving interception was correctly called as TV replays showed the ball indeed hit the ground and was a trap.
Holding calls are always hit or miss when they are called. I’ll say this, Nazareth’s defensive front is smaller and quicker off the ball they move toward the ball carrier and try and make stops in the backfield. The reason Nazareth wasn’t called for holding (most LaSalle holds were on run plays) was because LaSalle’s big DT’s just clog the holes and don’t really try and get off blocks. So you didn’t really have to hold them. It’s pretty obvious when attending football games who’s a real football fan and a casual fan. Which in my opinion is fine, the more the merrier but you don’t fully understand the game.
@Snapple,
The reason the PCL wins is because of coaching? Now I’ve heard everything. Kinda like Bill Bellichek was a fantastic coach when in Cleveland. Coaches can make a difference but it’s more about what you have talent wise. It’s a little ridiculous to make such an assumption when the fact is you’ve never ventured outside of the PCL.
Archbishop Wood game televised on the Comcast Network (CN8) where I am at.
Does anyone know if their will be a internet stream of the ACC vs Wood game tonight? The page on this site is not updated.
As far as I know there is the LaSalle/North Penn game will not be televised in Philly but audio of the game will be carried live on 1440AM and http://www.wnpv1440.com —As much as I want LaSalle to win I think the law of averages say it is hard enough to beat a top notch program 3 times in a row let alone 4 times in a row…North Penn is so overdue…I hope that feeling I have is wrong though.
Buddy,
I’m pretty sure that the La Salle NP game is not on television. Last I heard was the game would be on the radio and cal be followed at http://www.wnpv1440.com.
Is the NP/LaSalle game televised live anywhere? Like maybe Comcast Network? Since there is a philly team involved, thought maybe Comcast would step up. Would shock me though.
Very pumped that this weekend is finally here.
LaSalle 34, N.Penn 28
NA 21, CD 13
Wood 48, ACC 42
McD 28, Montour 20
WC 38, LC 35
Aliquippa 20, Tyrone 17
SoCo 30, PM 28
Clairton 44, Sharpsville 7
Okay….It’s game day. Who wins and why this week? Good luck to all the teams!
@snapple:
You’re right. NP weakness is their secondary.If they can’t get to McGarity, game over. But if they can, different story. They ( NP) are tough to run on, actually, damn near impossible. So Wade should have a real hard time.But if the passing game works, that will open the running somewhat, NP would be in trouble. LS won’t stop NP from scoring, for NP to win, it’s all on their defense. Sounds familiar don’t it? Defense wins championships.
Ryan…You were joking when you said that the area around Northeast High school looked unfriendly from satellite images? What??? Now I have heard everything. Did the image show some one suspicious lurking or hiding in or on the “grassy knowl”? Your nuts you know that…Maybe you can bring your mommy with you.
For those of you in the viewing area, Service Electric Channel 2 will carry ACC-Wood on Friday at 7 PM and again at 10PM.
@jb thanks guy. Maybe I will reconsider an go. What a season to get into high school ball.
@guest, no online video stream; havenfootball.net will be streaming audio of the AW / ACC game starting at 6:45.
@ryan, NEHS is in a fine area; and the parking is always adequate. It’s really just a straight shot down 309 for LV folks; not a bad drive at all.
Tell your pocono friends that BRidge cable, channel 69, channel 16; none of them are carrying any more playoff games!
Will their be a video stream of ACC/Wood online?
Thanks guys. From the lehigh valley. But some of the poconos guys been asking me to find out for them. So rcn / service electric. And Comcast. Would go but from the satellite images doesnt look like a friendly area and parking looks imposable.
North Penn has no secondary. As long as their is not a dramatic wind. La Salle wins. Another thing, the factor that separates the PCL from the public leagues is coaching, the PCL coaching is better
@James, we “arrogant” PCL folks would appreciate you sitting on the NP side this week! Thanks!
AW – ACC is on Comcast Network; not Comcast Sportsnet in the Philly area.
Of course, it’s on every channel in the Lehigh Valley!
