I listened to Iron Maiden and Judas Priest before I went out there...which doesn't make me good or bad, just old.
The Police and U2? Heathen! Scofflaw! Ne'er do well! : ) I graduated in 1982 and l mostly listened to a lot of my Dad's music, including a lot of CCR, Doors, Beatles, Ventures, Don McLean, Iron Butterfly, Paul Revere and the Raiders, Harry Nilsson and a lot of other artists and bands way before my time. I honestly don't know if I ever bought an album in high school, except maybe for a Nazareth or Aerosmith album. Most of the lyrics were fairly clean except for a lot of sexual innuendo, which mostly went over my head! Most of the time I didn't even pay attention to the lyrics, which was easy because if you did not have the album liner notes you had no access to the lyrics. I am thankful I didn't grow up listening to some of the music that is popular today. I will take the sexual innuendo over the repetitive "F" bombs and misogynistic lyrics that pass for a lot of music today. WAP no, classic rock yes! Now get off my lawn!
Only if he is the next coming of KDSo what you're telling us is: Bo Bassett is really 75.
Steel Valley HS in Munhall, PA? That was their warmup song pretty much for all sports.
Guess you don't want to hear what I listen to. Priest and maiden are pretty tame considering
Clinton Davis still holds the AAA PIAA State Records in the 200m & 400m and they have stood for about 40 years.
I remember a SI story about him. Didn’t he break his leg badly and that doomed his track career?
I don't know about that. He was 2 years behind me.

Dave and his quintet played at rec hall once. they even pressed some vinyl of the performance. I have one even.
Car accident, right after the LA Times piece …I don't know about that. He was 2 years behind me.
Here's a 1985 article about what happened to him.
Clinton Davis: the Loneliness of One Short-Distance Runner
Clinton Davis takes that last stride across the finish line.
My career record was 6-6-6. 😆
Mike Evans would be impressed.
Penn Wood had a better and deeper team in Burrell's junior year than his snr year, when he won states by himself (100/200/LJ/TJ, I think). His junior year, Mark Fowler won the 800 with a PIAA record of 1:50 and change. Also had two brothers or twins that were pretty good - Thomas was their last name I think (david/pat maybe). Problem was his jnr year, Leroy ran the 400 at Districts and States and not the short sprints/jumps. 400 was not his best race; he was good, but not great. He dusted me in the 100 his sophomore year at their 1/5th of a mile dirt track. Still remember looking up after the gun went off and seeing his butt and watching him fade away in the distance. He could fly. He's the head coach at Houston with Carl Lewis as Asst Coach.
Leroy Burrell was part of a USA 4x100 meter relay team that set the World Record and all 4 were from the greater Philly area, including Carl Lewis from NJ.
Especially after finishing NCAAs his junior and senior season going LOSS, LOSS, LOSS.
So he can't win a PIAA championship if he wrestles for McCort. I don't know and am not up on these things...is this no longer priority 1?
Again I don't know the situation but I do know McCort is in Johnstown, right? He could stay at home and wrestle for any other of the area schools correct? Greater Johnstown, Westmont Hilltop, Forest Hills, Conemaugh Township, Richland, etc...? Or he could move to State College with M2 and wrestle for State College correct? Again I suppose the main goal is no longer the States, but now it's the big National tournaments
He could but that's not realistic. His father is the head coach at McCort, after an ugly falling out with his home district (Forest Hills).
And he’s already a previous UWW World Champion. State titles prolly dont mean quite as much anymore.
Also the Prep schools have become much more prominent, and seen as better training toward college.
