Shhhh ... don't tell the Pittsburghers that.

How about if we put him at a big central Pennsylvania school like Cumberland Valley, Harrisburg or Bishop McDevitt? ;)

Mike Hart played at the smallest classification at Onondaga. He turned out okay.

I heard many stories about him and I just can't fathom what that looked like. Having covered some Central New York football, the lowest classification is incredibly bad, many of those kids wouldn't make JV teams of even decent 'A' schools in Pennsylvania.
 
The small-school career I would have liked to have had a glimpse of?

Curt Warner playing lowest-class West Virginia high school football. That must have been a show every week.

Or Wilson-West Lawn, North Penn, Bethlehem Liberty, Parkland, Neshaminy. . . .

One of the best things I read in the Post-Gazette some years back was Mike White admitting that they play high school football just as well in the East.
 
We're going to have that Young vs. Barket match-up in the state semifinals next week. :D

Barket carried 42 times for 246 yards as Schuylkill Haven beat Riverside Friday night. He broke Austin Scott's single-season yards record with a 66-yard TD run in the first quarter and has passed 4,000 yards for the year.

Young got 352 in Steel-High's win over Bishop McCort. He had 203 by the half ... and they only led 6-3.

It occurred to me around midnight that our football tab covers were looking pretty good tonight: Young for the high schools, Shady McCoy for the college/NFL.

North Penn

Though I'm a Pittsburgh guy, I spent a good chunk of my childhood in Hatfield, home of the Smiling Porker.

NP always seems to be a pretty consistent program out East. Go Knights!!! [/homer font]

If Pitt can accumulate some more talent around him -- cough quarterback cough -- and get by the Bowling Greens of the world, McCoy's got great shot to contend for the Heisman next year.

Hard to win the Heisman when you are a rookie in the NFL.
No matter what the guy says right now, he's gone.
