Certainly looks like turf to me.Congrats to Steel High. 1-0 East.
McDevitt vs Aliquippa should be a good one tonight.
Cumberland Valley’s field should be a complete disaster by Saturday night (unless they put in turf)..
Steelton and Aliquippa -- two old steel mill towns that fell on hard times when the mills downsized or closed.Congrats to Steel High. 1-0 East.

It's basically far past the point of absurdity now with the catholic and charters...
No one actually believes Mcdevitt is a legitimate champion. This really represents the worst of what competition means. They recruit even out of state to beat the snot out of small local schools to the extent that they are seriously injuring boys at the smaller public schools.
...and the crooked PIAA just keeps on doing jack $hit about it...
Aliquippa is a single A school by enrollment but they opted to play up AA for years and always won anyway. Now the PIAA forces them to play up in AAAA since they kept winning state titles.
...and there they are playing a team that recruits all across the nation...the PIAA is a joke.
I’m don’t really keep up on the recruiting as much as others here. Im sure someone will let us know.
No commits from any of the playoff teams as far as I know.
Bishop Mcdevitt recruits their entire team full of ringers, so it's quite ironic you mentioned recruiting.
I’ve looked up McDevitt’s schedule previously. They are not some big school playing small public schools. McDevitt is smaller than every school they play with the exception of one. (That school is the same size classification as them IIRC).
I've watched their games in person and grew up playing in the backyard with Rico Scott's dad, Marky. His son apparently has his dad's speed but is much bigger. Their entire team are recruits and they go out of state to recruit. School size? That's laughable.
As for their league, they were placed in their division, (2nd highest), by the Mid Penn conference when State College, Altoona, etc joined years ago. I’m not sure what you want them to do about it. It wasn’t their decision and, IIRC, they were not happy with the change.
). I’m truly interested to know.
And now we know why they are willing to play starters until the final whistle up 70 on teams that can barely or as you pointed out cannot field a 2 deep. Why they are willing to jeopardize the safety of boys on every other team that they play in their division that doesn't recruit.As for their league, they were placed in their division, (2nd highest), by the Mid Penn conference when State College, Altoona, etc joined years ago.

The top Mid Penn division are all 6A schools, (and placed that way at their insistence because of playoff seeding IIRC).
McD is a 4A school in a division of one 6A school, five 5A schools, and one other 4A school. Every school in their division has enough players for a 2 deep roster on both O and D with the exception of Lower Dauphin, (41 on their roster).
As for their recruits, please list them and the states they come from. I’m not trying to be snarky, (honest
How do you evaluate a qb with all day to throw, who doesn't have to move in the pocket, and whose WRs are open by 10 yards? Also, not likely to develop as well if never under pressure nor forced to go through progressions. This is stunting his growth at the position.
The Quips are also a major recruitment school from all over the Pittsburgh region. PIAA turns a blind eye
I have watched many games in their division. Most of the teams barely field a 2 deep. He pointed out that one team doesn't even have enough for a 2 deep. What I stated is accurate.
It's not my loss. It's the kids in that division including Mcdevitt's.
