What axe are you trying to grind?? Are you jealous because Philly Catholic League has done very well since joining PIAA? I assume your team lost and you are upset? Wood beat Seals last year, this year Seals got revenge. The better team won last year, and the better team won this year. There are very good public and Catholic School teams now contesting for the Championship.. If you are scared, get a dog.
Seals are very good. Their speed was dominant in the game and did not allow Rahill any time to find receivers fro Wood. The Seals had the experience and look like they might be unstoppable. Give Wood credit, they lost 18 starters from last year’s team and still it made it this far. Wood is very young and next year and the year after they will be very good. Good luck Seals..
once upon a time it would have been either Manheim Central OR Selinsgrove playing for the AAA title, not each other. way to make the whole playoff system “confusedteresting”, Philly Catholic league. (jk)
Way to go SEALS great win. You should be proud. 28-0 in the semi finals is terrific!
Great rematch from last year’s Eastern final. Seals have a great defense and Wood has high flying offense. Very close game for sure.
