@WPIAL_Insider “Intriguing” at 5A is likely a massive understatement!!

[Ryan @Ryan585418]

@MarkMaddenX Awesome article, spot on

[Ryan @Ryan585418]

@MarkMaddenX I remember last year, like spring ‘25 Skenes said something like “we have the best starting pitchers in baseball.” Maybe comments like that started screwing things up? I thought it was ridiculous at the time, but everyone seemed to cheer him on.

@ESPN_MARC @PA_TodaySports I don’t think these eligibility hearings happen because of retaliation or people tattling on each other

[Ryan @Ryan585418]

@MKShipton @BobGreenburg I found a chart that said pa went from 2.9 million to 1.9 million school age kids so yes this is a big factor. Add title 9 and a bunch of new sports- not surprising, probably reflected in most states

[Ryan @Ryan585418]

@MarkMaddenX I just heard on espn that dk might have lost as much as 45 million guaranteed, as a result of being suspended. Wow.

@FedkoZone Most people do not understand the numbers- but I agree the only real “problem” is at 6a. I sure hope the board does not rip everything apart just to fix one class

[Ryan @Ryan585418]

@WPIAL_Insider This is not a “new story,” this has been a problem for 10+ years.$$$$

[Ryan @Ryan585418]

@ESPN_MARC @FedkoZone @DArealCoachBill Crazy numbers here: first two quarters- PR’s first 7 possessions, 21 total offensive plays and scored 7 touchdowns. Yep, 1 of every 3 plays=TD

[Ryan @Ryan585418]

@ESPN_MARC Let’s hope it does not lead to ledonne and his staff being fired in 2 or 3 years

@colin_dunlap The guy is likely trying to “carry the message” of his superintendent, to help his career, bigger pay raises and bigger lifetime pension.

[Ryan @Ryan585418]

@colin_dunlap Google the athletic director name!! The primary problem IMO in that district is leadership.

[Ryan @Ryan585418]

@fitz379 @CHarlan_Trib Hahah I was actually hearing in my head this beevis laugh as a I was reading this stupid proposal from fox chapel!!!

[Ryan @Ryan585418]

@colin_dunlap And frankly embarrassing to everyone connected to WPIAL football

[Ryan @Ryan585418]

@colin_dunlap Maybe it’s well written but just like Fox chapel did- this is likely embarrassing to the football players, I just don’t see the value in “publically announcing” the flaws of your program and asking for help. It’s a bad look and bad strategy IMO

[Ryan @Ryan585418]

@PGiglione AD Obrien publically shamed his entire program- all kids at FC playing football from grade k to 12. Comparing their below average players to “kids with disabilities”

[Ryan @Ryan585418]

@wpialsportsnews It’s not that simple

[Ryan @Ryan585418]

@CHarlan_Trib I got a better idea. Start a boys flag league, two divisions, the North (hosted by Fox Chapel) and the South (played at Baldwin). Wear helmets, zero contact, all participants get a pizza party and trophies the “champion” gets a big trophy.

Fox chapels proposal is ridiculous.

[Ryan @Ryan585418]

@DaleDobak69420 @WPIAL_Insider Well- for what it is worth the “official ranking” for SF is #1 in their conference, as per WpialBlitz website- this is based on record and tiebreaker points- you could argue they should be even higher than 6!
