PDE769 Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Was looking at some re runs of Friday nights tikes Aliquippa Quips. Home of Darrelle Revis and other. The high school are classified as a D1 due enrollment but are force to D-4 their record over the pass 10 years 125-11, over last 15yrs 188- 17. Also 4 state Championships. In the state championships games 3 out of 4 years This year they are trying move them up to D-5. That a great football story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GardenStateBaller Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 They play a dismal schedule. I'd like to see them play SJP to gauge how good they really are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDE769 Posted June 21 Author Share Posted June 21 GSB, I don't get you sometime. They beat some of the top catholic school in the state each year and some the best public schools in PA. All I'm saying show them some respect for playing programs that out number them 10 t0 1. on shoestring budget. Everyone cant play a SJP or a MD. But they can play who they can. Now show me another public in PA that come close to their record. To win the number of state championships you don't play bums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll show them some respect when they schedule and defeat a team (in-state or OOS) with a pulse. Last five years SOS don't lie: 18.9 24.7 18.7 17.9 9.3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GardenStateBaller Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 The same for programs like Marion Local OH, Fort Hill MD and Southern Columbia PA. Gaudy records. Ghastly SOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDE769 Posted June 21 Author Share Posted June 21 So you are saying SJP is the only team with pulse in PA? Can you name a small public school that play 3 division above where they are suppose to be and have a great winning record. So there state championships mean nothing?

Yes, SJP is the only team in PA with a pulse. Quip is playing up because the programs in their designated class are so bad. It's 100% not about them being any good. SJP would beat them annually by 40+ points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Dei Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Serious question for GSB: What has happened to PA football the past 30-40 yrs? If memory serves, Central Bucks West et al were frequently in the national Top 25 in the 80s and 90s, Marino and Montana came from PA, etc. What gives?

Let's not forget that was 50-60 years ago: Namath '60, Dorsett '72, Montana '73, Marino '78 My guess is the demise of the steel industry in small towns in and around western PA had something to do with this. Plants closed, people moved out, less kids played football, etc. The same goes for blue-collar Ohio in a little lesser way. In both instances more and more families moved closer to the major cities for work. If you look at the top teams in PA and OH the large majority of them are city-based: SJP and Imhotep are located in Downtown Philly; PCC and North Allegheny are in Pittsburgh area St Ed's, Hoban, TCC, Glenville and Moe are all located in cities (Massillon would be the outlier) I've asked Jeff Fisher to participate in this thread as he's PA-born and bred. Hoping he joins us soon. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolebull813 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 I don’t think they need to play SJP necessarily, but they could play some other small school powers from Ohio no issue. Or some of the better teams that are bigger than them. My guess is the coach doesn’t give a shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDE769 Posted August 14 Author Share Posted August 14 I'm pretty sure if you set up some OOS team and you are willing to foot the bill they would be happy to play. Question how much do you know about the area they are located. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
