Archbishop Wood (12, 12-2)

McDevitt tramples Cumberland Valley

As a Cumberland Valley student and fan, this one was hard to watch. The final score of Bishop McDevitt 48-CV 28 indicates that this game was completely one sided.

St Joe’s controlled all three facets of the game (offense, defense and special teams) […]

Pioneer Athletic Conference Football Preview: 2012 Season

By Rob Senior 2011 was a year of upheaval in the PAC-10, with the previous year’s co-champions both finishing under .500. Upstart Spring-Ford took home its first undisputed title since 1995 with an undefeated league campaign. However, it was Pottsgrove stealing the show in the postseason with a District 1 AAA title. The two schools […]

Small School Team # 1 Wyomissing Area (3) 0-0

Wyomissing came oh, so close to upending eventual PIAA champion Lancaster Catholic for the second consecutive season last November, holding a 14-7 halftime lead over the Crusaders and controlling the tempo of the game with its disciplined Wing-T offensive scheme. Aside from losing career 3,970-yard passer Grayson Helm, the Spartans are rock-solid at seemingly every […]

Big School Team # 1 Archbishop Wood (12) 0-0

It was a perfect storm of sorts for Archbishop Wood last season, setting a PIAA big school record with 699 points scored which included a 52-0 pasting of Bishop McDevitt in the PIAA AAA final. That edition of the Vikings boasted an explosive backfield and nasty, physical offensive line. Three starters from that 2011 line […]

BILL ALBRIGHT EasternPAFootball.com Senior Writer JERSEY SHORE — New Jersey Shore head football coach Tom Gravish has a huge task on his hands, but the veteran mentor knew that when he took the job.

Big School Team # 2 Central Dauphin (3) 0-0

Defending PIAA AAAA champion Central Dauphin, the highest-ranked AAAA team in this poll, has a boatload of offensive skill and an experienced linebacking and defensive backfield, but the Rams claimed their first PIAA crown, and District 3’s second in the state’s largest class, squarely on the play of its offensive line, which physically dominated North […]

Small School Team # 2 Mount Carmel Area (4) 0-0

The defending District 4 AA champion Red Tornadoes rode the coattails of two 1,000-yard rushers and a vicious, hard-hitting defensive unit to a 12-2 record and berth in the PIAA quarterfinals opposite Lancaster Catholic. Sure, both 1,000-yard rushers, Meyrick Lamb and Cody Shustack, are gone, as are defensive leaders Shustack, Brett Prezkop, Tommy Hynoski and […]

Small School Team # 3 Southern Columbia (4) 0-0

Southern Columbia seems to be almost an annual fixture in football preseason rankings, and that’ll happen when you have only three seasons with less than 10 victories since 1984, win 20 District 4 championships and appear in a state-record 13 PIAA title games. Coming off of a 14-2 season, the Tigers must find a way […]

Big School Team # 3 Downingtown East (1) 0-0

Each year, it seems, the Ches-Mont League has a team or two that, on paper, has the makings for a potential playoff push. Downingtown East, this year, appears to be that team. When District 1 began a playoff bracket in 1992, the Ches-Mont claimed three of the first five district crowns and twice reached the […]

Small School Team # 4 Riverside (2) 0-0

Even-numbered years have been kind to Riverside of late. 2008 – a 13-1 record, District 2 championship and berth in the PIAA quarterfinals opposite Schuylkill Haven. 2010 – a 14-2 record, District 2 championship, demolition of Southern Columbia and berth in the PIAA championship game opposite Clairton. But during which the Vikings held a 24-point […]

Big School Team # 4 Easton Area (11) 0-0

The Red Rovers, a defending 2/4/11 AAAA subregional finalist and winners of 11 games last season, are loaded to the hilt and easily a preseason favorite to win the Lehigh Valley Conference in 2012. Short of the quarterback position, Easton has quite a bit of experience returning from its 2011 edition.   Linemen John Spadoni, […]

40 teams in 40 days – Day 38: Marian Catholic (11)

2011 season The Colts finished the season with an 5-5 record. Marian Catholic had a huge win against Shenandoah Valley week eight. Paul Martin rushed for 1,177 yards on 201 carries and 17 touchdowns.

2011 season Wilson finished the season with a 12-2 record. After an opening loss to Governor Mifflin, the Bulldogs won 12 straight games. They had nice wins against Manheim Central, Manheim Towhship and Penn Manor during the regular season. They made it to the District 3 4A final. They lost to Central Dauphin. Seth Klein […]

Small School Team # 5 Dunmore (2) 0-0

The Bucks rolled through the regular season to a 10-0 record and seemed rather unpenetrable, that is, until Riverside pulled a stunning and somewhat controversial 14-13 victory in the District 2 A semifinals last season. So needless to say, once again, there’s some unfinished business for the Bucks, who have posted five seasons of 10+ […]

Big School Team # 5 Bishop McDevitt (3) 0-0

Bishop McDevitt’s move down in classification from AAAA to AAA has been successful, save for consecutive losses in the PIAA AAA championship game. But otherwise, McDevitt has owned its District 3 AAA counterparts, winning 17 of its last 18 games, the lone exception a loss to Susquehanna Township in 2010. The Crusaders lost some thump […]

Small School Team # 6 Wilkes-Barre GAR (2) 0-0

The Grenadiers have posted an overall record of 58-14 (.806) since the start of the 2006 season, including consecutive 11-win seasons which both ended in District 2 AA championship victories and berths in the PIAA playoffs. Standout dual-threat athlete Darrell Crawford is graduated, but GAR finds itself with several pieces back offensively. Linemen Shakir Soto […]

Big School Team # 6 LaSalle College (12) 0-0

The Explorers have done quite well for themselves in their first three forays into the PIAA playoffs – three consecutive victories over District 11, three trips to the PIAA semfinals and two PIAA AAAA title game appearances, including the 2009 state championship. That 6-2 state playoff mark is part of a larger run of an […]

40 teams in 40 days – Day 36: Wilkes-Barre GAR (2)

They won the District 11 4A title against Easton Area. Their comeback bid against LaSalle College came up short. During the regular season they came […]

Small School Team # 7 West Catholic (12) 0-0

It is certainly strange to think of hearing the words “West Catholic” and “question marks” entering any season, as the Burrs have enjoyed four consecutive trips to the PIAA AA semifinals and a PIAA championship in 2010. But that’s exactly where West Catholic finds itself – with questions – entering the 2012 season. Heavy graduation […]

Big School Team # 7 Roman Catholic (12) 0-0

Skill, skill and more skill. It never hurts to have experience at the skill positions, and Roman Catholic sure has plenty of it with 1,500-yard passer Michael Keir, featured wide receiver Will Fuller, a Notre Dame recruit. The Keir-to-Fuller connection could be the PCL’s best this season and be one of the reasons Roman reaches […]

Small School Team # 8 Trinity (3) 0-0

The last time the Shamrocks saw a gridiron in 2011, Lancaster Catholic was running roughshod up and down and all around it en route to a 60-7 victory and one of the worst losses in Trinity program history. But the times, they are a-changin’, and with the Crusaders in AAA and another perennial AA contender, […]

Big School Team # 8 North Penn (1) 0-0

Seeing North Penn in a preseason ranking list of any sort is almost an annual rite of sorts – the Knights have claimed six District 1 championships since 2002 and are fresh off their second PIAA championship game appearance in school history. Yes, North Penn did lose its share of players to graduation, but the […]

40 teams in 40 days – Day 34: Lancaster Catholic (3)

Small School Team # 9 Danville (4) 0-0

Twenty-seven victories over the last three seasons, including a 12-1 season in 2010, have breathed fire back into the Danville football program, and the purple and orange are looking to continue that success with a large, large group of underclassmen. A preseason roster posted on Maxpreps listed 39 players – and only three seniors – […]

Big School Team # 9 Pennridge (1) 0-0

There’s much hype from the Rams’ camp these days, as a team inflicted with injuries last season thrust plenty of underclassmen into the lineup. Of late, the Rams’ best seasons have come in the form of four 7-5 campaigns in 2005, 2006, 2010 and 2011, but Pennridge did enjoy four 10-win seasons in a span […]

It […]

Big School Team # 10 Garnet Valley (1) 0-0

Much experience returns from a Jaguar unit which won 11 games a season ago and scored 477 points – the second-highest single-season points output in program history, trailing only GV’s 2007 PIAA AAA runner-up team, which scored 483.
