JB, its VERY CLEAR to me you DID NOT READ my post. FOR IF YOU HAD, you would not have said O’Hara or West Catholic as I said AAAA teams. Besides, if I remember correctly, O’Hara got sent home with their tails between their legs a few years ago after playing in Cottingham. That was supposed to be a 2 year contract and O’Hara cancelled after 1 year. I said you could use Wood as the wash for Central but that was all. So once again we have the fact that somebody didn’t read the post correctly.

Ok so the matchup is simple, we got Wood vs ACC. Nothing to be said about both teams except they are both excellent teams. Trust me when I say anything can happen here in this game on friday night. Strath Haven is an excellent team too, but Wood has a dominate team. Coach Devlin has turn this program into a POWERHOUSE, no doubt. I have never seen ACC play. I do know though, you dont come this far to be a soft team. Im thinking it’s going to be like the Seilingsgrove vs Wood game again… it could go to either team.

@P-D, please, stop with the D11 LVC mancrush ….

Here goes ….. in on particular order

LaSalle
Wood
O’Hara
Roman
Judge
West Catholic

then comes Easton … maybe

Stop with “we were winning 7-3” …

From the middle of the second quarter to 1:39 left in the game Easton didn’t have a first down or cross midfield.

Easton had 67 yards of offense in the second half; the fact is, LaSalle could have left the field and Easton would not have scored.

People were impressed with Pacchioli; fact is, the kid was great at running for his life because his O line was a seive. By game’s end, I felt bad for the kid he could hardly walk.

Now, this is the LVC and D11 AAAA champ we’re talking about here.

They’re no better than the 7th best PCL team.

First off, 19-7 is HARDLY a butt whipping, especially when Easton led 7-3 at the half. You can’t turn the football over 3 times and expect to win either. That being said, I still believe with the realignment that the Suburban One had this year, that the LVC is the best AAAA Conference in the East. Tell me 6 teams in the AAAA Division that are better than the LVC. I will let you use Wood because they are AAA, same as Central (who is AA by numbers) but NO OTHER AAA. AA OR A team. Ryan, won 2 games. SJP, heard there was a mass defection there before the season. Judge, ok, beat Pocono Mountain West, who was destroyed in the EC Playoffs by Emmaus, who went 7-3 (lost to Liberty, Whitehall and Central) in the regular season and DID NOT qualify for districts. Roman, I’ll give my boy McCourt props. Did a nice job over there at his Alma Mater. But in the end, I’ll take the MEAT GRINDER of the LVC anyday and twice on Sundays.

We also lost another senior linebacker jacob scipio to kidney failure he’s in a wheel chair now on the side lines but our junior linebackers filled in nicely

@PD, did you see what LaSalle did to Easton again?

Please don’t give me LVC backs like Dibilio, et al as proof of anything; D11 has proven they are very overrated compared to D12 teams. LVC may be one of the most overrated leagues there is; there are 6 PLC teams better than Easton (LVC AAAA champ).

I’m not saying ACC will lose; I’m just saying make a better argument.

Whehter he plays or not it wont be a blow out. Ive seen both teams and it looks like it should be a great one. Nosovitch is a great one for sure. Peoples is a stud. with all due respect to Fiore Dibilio and hilliard none of them are desmon Peoples. If he plays he may not have much of an impact. I think each team will be the others best opponent all year. Both have played good teams. But both have had their Dobbins and Dieruffs. At this time of year evryone has injuries so no excuses either way. ACC has been without an animal named Connor faust all year. I say flip a coin. Who ever turns the ball over least should be the winner. Then again i said last week that West/NL would be the best game of the playofffs so far and that one ended up 55-14 lol

If he plays I think Wood has a shot, but even if he plays he will most likely not be game ready. Unless, of course, Wood purposefully said it was a 4-6 week healing process to be conservative. Wood coaches and trainer would never put this kid’s health in jeopardy over 1 game. If he is not cleared to play by his doctor, there is no way Wood Athletic Director (Sette)or Coach Devlin will even consider letting him play. Wood has the weapons to beat ACC without him but their chances increase dramatically if he can even play at 80%.

A word about Central to you Wood fans. Central is a AA school that plays in a AAAA league. League rules REQUIRE them to PLAY UP to at least AAA. Somebody remarked if they had seen a back like Peoples all year. They see those types of backs ALMOST EVERY WEEK. Dibilio of Nazareth (2,000 yard rusher) Fiore of Whitehall, Hilliard of Liberty (both over 1,000 yards) to name a few. My question to you is, How is Mike Carey going to stop the “Air Raid Attack” of Central? Focus on the pass, they will eat you alive in the ground game. Stop the ground game and watch out for the pass. Nosovitch wasn’t named the Pennsylvania Gatorade Player of the Year for nothing. Both Sophomore and Junior years over 2,000 yards passing and 1,000 yards rushing with his Senior year remaining. Having seen BOTH teams, it will be a fantastic game. I rarely make predictions but I think Central has way too many weapons for Wood. Final Central 31 Wood 21.
