  1. Dog21,

    Nice to see a no nonsense, legitimate, intelligent post from a Wood fan. ACC clearly was the best team in AAA last season and maybe the best team in the state. Barring key injuries I would be shocked if the 2011 AAA state champion is not ACC or Wood. They both return many quality athletes and ACC is aware that Wood added quality DBs. Wood got beat badly by ACC’s speed last season. I fully expect ACC and Wood to be two of the best teams in the state in any classification. Both teams have tough AAAA openers (Wood=PCC and ACC=Downingtown East) but I think they will both do fine. The one thing that I disagree with is that the number of D1 athletes on a roster dictates one team being a favorite. Intangibles come into play and remember that ACC has the wild card (Nosovitch). ACC had only 2 D1 athletes on the team last season (Nosovitch=South Carolina and McNeely=New Hampshire) and we know how the season turnrd out.

  2. I like West Scranton at 4 over Valley View for the simple fact that West Scranton’s defense has only lost a few players and offensively they have a lot of weapons returning, with the addition of some big lineman. I think they are the AAA team to beat this year in District 2. They have a lot of speed returning also.

  3. Class AAA
    1. Allentown Central Catholic (3)
    2. Archbishop Wood (12)
    3. Bishop McDevitt (3)
    4. Valley View (2)
    5. West Scranton (2)

    I know Carey and Devlin from Wood have nothing but respect for ACC coaches and Players. Not sure what article you are referring to. I know for a fact Carey said multiple times that he had no answer for Nosovitch and that ACC was a juggernaut. Carey actually said they may have been the best team he ever faced. That is saying alot since Carey coached many of theose CB West teams

  5. I will be upfront and say I am a Wood fan. But some of you people give Wood fans a bad name with your crazy comments. Trust me Moose and the rest of ACC supporters, most Knowledgeable Wood fans who were at the game saw how good ACC was. ACC was the better team last year and they deserved to win the State Championship for sure. They were a very well coached team and the QB is a flat out stud. You could argue that Wood’s Middle LB Sam McCain kept Nosovitch in check in the first half(21-21 and Wood could have taken the lead not for a missed FG) before he got hurt. You could also say it might have been a different game if Peoples was playing. But the bottom line is that ACC took over in the 2nd half and won fair and square. Acc had a key injury early in the game as well. Injuries are part of the game. Congrats to ACC on a terrific year!No excuses.

    Now, if we look at this year, looking at it objectively, Wood has to be the favorite in AAA, and they might be ranked in the top 5 in any classification. They have 7 D1 recruits(6 committed already), they have added two stud cornerbacks(which they did not have last year), and their Oline is 15 lbs heavier and faster across the front. Does this mean they are a guarantee to beat ACC and advance to win the State Title. Not at all.I heard ACC has added some good players and they have some very good players returning. We can all argue until we are blue in the face who is better, but nothing matters until they play the game. The other variable is injuries-Will Peoples,Nosovitch,Thompson,Robb all stay healthy?

    All I know is this makes for good drama if they meet again in December!

  6. This Wood team will be the best team in the history of PA football. They have by far the best coaching staff, and on top of that have tons of division 1 talent. Most kids on ACC roster couldnt even start at. That is a fact.

  7. Uh, Doug Smith…Allentown CC plays in District 11.

    Other than that, I like your picks.

    I wouldn’t be surprised, depending on how the brackets are set up, to see McD and ACC meet up again in Hershey for all the AAA marbles.

    Sorry Archishop Wood.

    Well, not really…

  8. The #1 team in AAA in 2011 is the same team that was #1 in 2010.

    The ACC Vikings.

    Wood fans…get over it…sometimes the better team wins and clearly, you were NOT the better team.

    Lick your wounds and try again this year…GOOD LUCK!

  9. AAAA

    1)Frankford(sleeper no one knows about)
    2)Roman Catholic
    3)North Penn
    4)Downingtown East
    5)Jefferson Hills

  10. Steve

    No reason to even comment on the statements you’ve just made…obviously you’re a fool…you don’t know football….so do us all a favor and stay off the site….

  11. acc steamrolled wood withouth two D1 recruits at linebacker in mcneely and faust, woods corners were too slow to stop the receivers and the linemen were too soft. nosovitch is so overrated he committed to a program in the SEC, yeah that makes sense. acc doesnt recruit either all these kids played together thru gradeschool, acc’s only flaw is they lose alot of guys up front so they may have to get creative with their blocking schemes not that it should matter a whole cuz nosovitch was hit as he threw alot for that game and only threw for 400+ yards but you right hes overrated ha

  12. I hope the Wood players aren’t as pathetic and classless as some of their fans. Instead of giving credit to the team that demolished your team last season and went on to go 16-0 and win the state title you make idiotic statements and excuses. Excuses are for losers. Nosovitch is so overrated that he was the only QB that Steve Spurrier at South Carolina recruited this year. But some of the Wood fan geniuses know more than Spurrier. As far as the ACC team, please tell me what else could they have done last season for them not to be “overrated”? FYI, if Wood happens to win the state title this season I’ll be the first one to congratulate them because they will need to get past a very good ACC team to do it.

  13. No way is ACC number 1. I have to agree with Mike. ACC and Nosovitch were overated last year, got lucky against us(we didnt have peoples). My son said Coach Carey is foaming at the mouth to get ACC again. They have been practicing for ACC all spring and summer long. 2011:Wood 55 ACC 3. The lucky streak runs out this year for the fake vikings and THE REAL VIKINGS will win the state title. WOOD in 11 BABY!

  14. Mike,

    You are correct. ACC and Nosovitch are overrated. They “only” hung over 600 yards of offense and 7 touchdowns on that great Archbishp Wood machine. I’d hate to see the results if they weren’t overrated. Hang in there. Wood will eventually win one. By the way, did Wood and their coach get the license number of that truck that ran them over on December 10?

  15. Mike

    what won’t be the same as last year?….Wood getting humiliated?….and their coach’s sour grapes as reported in the philly papers?…no class….give ACC their due….just like everyone will give the next champion their’s…..
