Terry lighten up buddy. In a scrimmage it usually is 10 and 10 and then a live half. You guys didn’t score once and afer 7 plays of driving the ball down your throat REPEATEDLY we gave the ball back . That is why I said the mercy rule was in effect. If our secondary was so bad how come you guys didn’t score?
Ron,
I didn’t say that smashmouth football doesn’t EVER work. Reread my post. I said that smashmouth football DOESN’T ALWAYS work. In Abington Height’s case they have never won a state playoff game with the offense and schemes that they run, and with the coaching they have. It would be helpful to have some sort of passing game in their arsenal. Hey, but I’m not a D2 guy so as far as I’m concerned I hope AH doesn’t change a thing but I would think that AH may realize what they have been doing is great for D2 competition but state play is a whole different ballgame.
you talk about d2 weak aaaa teams well come up and play valley view lakeland riverside and dunmore and see how beat up you are from the aa and a teams in d2
eastbetterthanwest, yes you did you scored on the second play. but a football game consists of 4 downs to get 10 yards to continue a series. you scored 4 TD’s. 2 in 20 plays with your first group. and you did no successfully get 10 yards every four plays. I saw Harris standing behind the Offense I realize he didnt play nor was I saying that we would beat you, but to say you scored everytime you touched the ball was ridiculous. In fact other than that speed sweep you did not run the ball well at all with your first group. Harris makes up for some of that but when there is nowhere to go there is nowhere to go. wow I dont know much about ACC other than they have a good QB but I hope they beat you guys, your a very arrogant guy. I would be worried about your secondary they couldnt cover anybody.
Joe,
What type of offense did AAAA Champion North Allegheny run? I’ll help you, it was a multiple formation downhill running attack. Very similar to the offense Abington Heights runs. Should they update their offense and coaching staff too?
Hey Terry you better watch the film my friend our first O scored on every posession and our first d completely shut you guys out. We wouldn’t schedule the mules because the Mules aren’t up to snuff. And terry our #1 player sat out!!!
Hey eastbetterthanwest I was at the scrimmage and you did score everytime you touched the ball. You guys were head and shoulder better than us and would have beat us soundly in a real game but by no means did you score everytime you touched the ball. The WR #3 scored on that nice jet sweep the Te scored on that nice stiff arm as well. I think the 1’s put up another a score as well. I no nothing about ACC but you did not score every time you touched the ball, in fact your Offensive Line was extremely small compared to ours
Hey Sepa, Harris didn’t play in that game and east was in the game til the end. I know what you said about elite speed I just think your wrong. Lets see how unelite his speed is when he is running by Acc on Sept 3.
How about we all just settle down for once? ok? now how about some predictions for the upcoming games? I say acc beats deast by a touchdown two great teams led by great players. nosovitch to gulyas for at least three tds nos with maybe 1 rushing.
Gus,
I suggest that instead of whining and making excuses build your program to compete with the best. It can be done. Two of the four state titles were won by public schools last year. Were you complaining when Berwick and Mt. Carmel were winning state titles annually? Oh, and by the way, were you aware that prior to last year the last private school to win a state title in AAA was in 1998, 12 years ago (ACC). Doesn’t look like private school domination to me. I don’t remember Selinsgrove whining about Allentown Central Catholic or Archbishop Wood two years ago. Truth of the matter is that the Abington Heights program is just not a state caliber player at this time. If they want to compete statewide they need to upgrade their schedule playing at least a game a year out of district instead of beating up weak D2 competition. Give the kids the experience what it will be like when statewide playoffs start. Come down to D11, D1 or D12. Although Abington Heights does play D2 AAAA teams we all know that D2 AAAA football is very weak and it does AH no good. Abington Heights just is not ready for statewide competition when interdistrict play begins. They need to upgrade the offense and passing game. The difference in offensive schemes between AH and ACC last year was like night and day. Smashmouth football does not always work outside of D2. They need to upgrade their coaching. The kids are plenty tough and as good as any around but they need the program to step it up for them. AH can be successful statewide players under the right circumstances. The private school excuse is just that, an excuse.
Dan, help me understand why if your team is so good, that you feel to respond like you do. Let it go and the game results will take care of everything else. it’s annoying and sophmoric.
Hey eastbetter than west –
That’s great to hear. We had a great scrimmage yesterday as well. Just make sure the bus doesn’t get lost coming up here. A forfeit victory just wouldn’t feel the same.
@ eastbetterthanwest:
I’m saying you’ll have to eat those words about LaSalle owning NP after 9/3. Fear not, I’ll be here to remind you! By-the-way, NP has been a large school FOREVER, but they have only been a powerhouse for the last 11 years. So it’s the coaching , not the size.
Watched Cardinal O’Hara yesterday. They are loaded
Dan, great,enjoy your season,the whole world will be watching and rooting for ACC on 12/16. The rest of us will watch our public school teams who have to play with the kids who live in our district.
Dan I was at Downingtown East scrimmage td everytime we touched the ball not often you mercy rule teams in a scrimmage.See you on Sept 3 in Allentown!
Oh my god. I never said he wasn’t talented, all I said was that he doesn’t have elite speed which is true. It’s sad that you can’t read and must resort to assuming things to supplement your argument.
I’m not sure what my excuse will be, because to my knowledge, that 2011 version of the game has yet to occur.

Notice several important items. Nosovitch accounted for over 350 yards of offense by himself. East had 187 as a team. Lauletta, Kroft, Robles are all gone. ACC had 72 plays to East’s 43 plays.
Gus –
Just got back from Central Catholic’s first scrimmage. Very first play of the game – Nosovitch to Gulyas for a 75 yard touchdown. WE ARE IN MID SEASON FORM!!!!! Like I said, tune in on December 16th around 10pm on PCN.
Public and Private schools, personally, I have no issues with the kids/athletes. There is an inherent difference when a school can pull kids(not using recruiting) from another school. I watched our team last year get crushed by ACC. AH had a great team and we had to draw our kids from our district. ACC made us look like it was our first football game. Many factors skew the results for wins and losses. Love to see winners who are humble and honest. Good luck to all those seniors who might be playing their last football game and to those moving on to play in college.
ANTS GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT.
THERE ARE OVER 500 SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN PA OUTSIDE OF PHILADELPHIA. I WAS REFERRING TO ALL THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF PHILLY – PIAA DISTRICT ONE AND BEYOND. FORGET DISTRICT XII (PHILA. PUBLIC AND CATHOLIC SCHOOLS). THEY ARE IN A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN AND SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN PERMITTED TO JOIN THE P.I.A.A. EITHER FOLLOW THE RULES OF THE ORGANIZATION YOU JOIN OR SIMPLY STAY OUT. PHILA. PUBLIC AND PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS HAVE ALWAYS MARCHED TO THEIR OWN BEAT AND OUT OF STEP WITH THE REST OF PENNSYLVANIA.
North Penn will always be in the mix because and only because of the sheer size of their school. LaSalle owns them and will continue to. Neshaminy perennial powerhouse, DTE will be there as well.
Sepa are you serious? Only in your world are Va Tech,Notre Dame, PSU and Miami not “elite” thats just your way of trying to hate on this kid. Its sad that you cant just appreciate a true talent instead of looking for flaws to justify your opinion.Back to the topic when East beats ACC and THEY will beat them what will the excuse be then?
Suburban Fan
Here is why your argument is bogus…and you’re very misinformed…any student in the Philly public school system can enroll at any Phily high school…all they have to do is be able to get there…whats the difference?
Well said suburban fan.
ONE CANNOT GIVE AN HONEST ASSESSMENT OF WHICH IS THE BEST TEAM IN EASTERN PA AS LONG AS THE PUBLIC AND CATHOLIC SCHOOLS ARE PLACED ON THE SAME LIST. THERE SHOULD BE SEPARATE CLASSIFICATIONS FOR THEM LIKE IN NEW JERSEY. THEY HAVE DIFFERENT RULES CONCERNING GEOGRAPHIC ENROLLMENT. DOES LaSALLE HAVE ENROLLMENT BOUNDARIES? PUBLIC SCHOOLS DO.
NORTH PENN SHOULD ALSO BE DIVIDED INTO TWO HIGH SCHOOLS AS THEY ARE MUCH LARGER IN ENROLLMENT THAN ANY MEMBER OF THEIR SUBURBAN ONE COLONIAL LEAGUE. FOOTBALL IS A GAME WHERE NUMBERS OF PLAYERS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO CONTINUED SUCCESS. LOOK AT THE CENTRAL BUCKS SCHOOL DISTRICT WHICH HAS THREE HIGH SCHOOLS. WHICH DISTRICT, NORTH PENN OR CENTRAL BUCKS IS MORE BENIFICIAL TO ITS STUDENT/ATHLETES IN AFFORDING THEM THE OPPORTUNITY OF PARTICIPATION. IS BEING #1 THAT IMPORTANT? I REST MY CASE.
