- Thread starter MtNittany

Didn't say it was new news. He's survived this far. We'll see if they get better.
...they never should have built the bridge.
I'll update w/ video link when I get it.

Does Insinger still play kids from Philly that beat up their girlfriends or not anymore?
Most wins ever in PIAA. Don't know the number, but I assume he is closing in on 1,000. Choke on it.
I'll take that as a yes.
And good for him. I left high school rivalries in, ya know, high school. But enjoy the game.
Mike came back to coach basketball and football when he was with the Orioles. My brother played then. I don't see him hanging it up after his kids are gone though.
Just so you know I was just giving you s**t. I too think it's cool. I root for all the kids from that area having moved away a long time ago.
Cheers.
Do you know what is going on with the baseball team? I umpired a game with Montoursville last year and the head coach said he was done after this season. The guy I umpired with and I were messing around with Mussina a little, I asked him why he signed with the evil empire over the Indians back in the day. He would have put the Tribe over the top and won a Series with them.
It was that way my brothers Senior year with basketball. They fired a great coach and some parents with pull got a guy in there that was awful. They wanted to get their kids more playing time.
I agree with you on the parent involvement. All they do is go to a board member and complain. Officiating for a few years I have gotten to know some of the coaches well, and it seems the biggest complaint they all have are the parents. I was talking to one coach about one of the players going to school on a scholarship and he told me all of the schools were not interested in him, I asked why and he pointed to the kids parents. He could have gone D1 and ended up at a D3 school because of his parents.

Is the Valley Inn still open?
Travis Wurster is the montoursville baseball coach. Good young guy a montoursville native and knows baseball.
Valley inn definitely still open and if you haven't been in the area the last 10 years Some of it is like a whole new place. Have a gorgeous event room with tons of woodwork.
Still a local staple.

Thanks, he told us he was done after last year. I always liked him and think he did a good job. Didn't want to see him go. Must have had a change in heart.
I played for Sock in the mid 90s, and I remember Mussina coaching JV basketball in his offseason. So I agree, I don't see him going anywhere just because his kid graduates.
You probably played against my brother then. He graduated in 95.

We used to stop there as kids with my parents and grandparents on our way up to our house outside forksville/hillsgrove in the 70s and 80s. They had the best steaks. Place went downhill for awhile but as we sold our place up there it was on the rebound and heard it was getting better again.
That would have been my sophomore year on the JV team.
Our Varsity was loaded that year, we beat Williamsport at Lycoming College late in the season, won the D4 AA title, but lost in the first round of states. Williamsport ended up playing for the AAAA state title but lost to Ringgold.
Yeah I know. Mussina's cousin was a senior that year also I believe at Sock.
Being an old Montgomery guy I can recall when sock first was built and not a problem for a few years. Montoursville was somewhere near Williamsport, we always lost to them and there was a terrible airplane crash on the mountain above there. Yes that was a nice time to grow up in the late 50's/early 60's.

Williamsport vs Harrisburg

Williamsport #4 Stanley Scott is a pretty good player really wish he would have played wide out in football.

The plane crash. You are really dating yourself.
You can actually still find debris up there if you know right where it is.
