In the time I have been here the divisions have been restructured twice. The WPIAL is the collection of all schools in Western PA, WPIAL contains schools from all four divisions in PA, AAAA, AAA, AA, A. WPIAL has to determine a champion in each division which then takes on the champion of region 10 which is schools from around Butler and north to Erie. This winner then takes on the champion of the eastern regions in Hershey for the state championship. AAAA is the largest school division in PA similar to Division 1 in Ohio, Jeanette for example is AA which would be similar to division 3 or 4 in Ohio. Think Cardinal Mooney or Coldwater. The media polls in PA are generally tilted towards the Philadelphia schools and the eastern part of the state, most of my friends from Erie say it borders on comical. A few years ago McDowell from here in Erie played the number 1 ranked team in the state and won by 42. The western part of the state as expected is stronger in football and the east dominates basketball. WPIAL champions this year that I know are AAAA - Pittsburgh Central Catholic, AAA - Thomas Jefferson and AA - Jeanette. Pennsylvania divisions and affiliations are all regionalized and can be a bit confusing. As far as the strength of the WPIAL, it has some strong teams (PCC, Gateway, Jeanette and TJ) but many have padded records from playing much lesser opponents from smaller divisions within the WPIAL.

that's about right. If you went to school on a line east of Harrisburg, you probably would have big issues getting into the playoffs. The school I went too in PA was in the PIAA FWIW.....

Yeah I agree.

I've been hearing about how Pryor will make you forget about VY, but I'll believe it when I see it. Hopefully I see it in S&G. Sounds good for him with the Buckeyes.

Jeannette's Pryor ready to use arm to beat teams
By Paul Schofield
TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Thursday, December 6, 2007


Everyone knows that Jeannette quarterback Terrelle Pryor can run the ball, but lost is how accurate he is as a passer.
Pryor, who already has thrown for more than 4,000 yards in his career, needs 117 yards Saturday against Wilmington to surpass the 4,000-yard rushing mark and become the first player in the WPIAL to achieve both milestones.

It's a milestone that Pryor would love to achieve. He has completed 70 of 113 passes for 1,645 yards and 21 touchdowns this season.

"We don't even throw the ball that much," Pryor said after throwing for 166 yards in a victory over Karns City. "I'm always looking to the outside guys first, either Nick (Spino), Greg (Williams) or Moziah (Harris). Then, I look for Jordan (Hall) because I know he can get open. I have confidence in all of them. I can depend on all of them."

I don't know if they are still in the league or not. We specialized in getting our asses handed to us in everything but baseball when I was there....

Here are some pics of Pryor in action from this past weekend.....

How would any of those of those "in the know" rate his rumored interest in the ducks. Speculation with a given link on scout still doesn't equal fact. However, is there a legit new player in the running in Ore? Is it possible he may be frustrated with the assumption that he will be playing for us? I could see that getting old.

[BGriffBuckeye]

I would say, that is Florida is too far, Oregon being about as far West as one can get in the continental United States is a bit much as well....

I highly doubt Oregon is anything more than a flash in the pan right now.

He can add whoever to the list and it won't change my thinking...he is going to be a Buckeye. I think there is a big difference between what is being said to the news outlets and what is being said behind the scenes/to other recruits.

Wanny_s_Crutches: Where do you think Pryor will end up, and how hard is Wanny trying to get him still?

Paul Zeise: The Ohio State University. Wannstedt is still trying to recruit him, but I think it is to no avail. All signs seem to point to Pryor becoming a Buckeye

I am more confident about Pryor being a Buckeye than I ever have been...to the point where I don't see any way where he does not end up in this class. That's how confident I am...

I hope that was sarcasm, but if it wasn't he was talking about The Man, The Myth, The Legend Mike Brewster.
