If you're ever looking for a score, you can find it here:

https://www.easternpafootball.com/db/schedules/index.php5

That's the website I rely on.

Guys at Eastern PA football do a great job with that.

Their playoff brackets are especially good.

Check those out next month.

Who said Harry Potter isn’t real

Mike Drago

12:43

I believe I just did.

Easternpafootball is a great site but it is just eastern football. There is a site for western PA but I've heard that site no longer works.

Mike Drago

12:43

I know the Western site went through some changes last year.

I haven't checked it this year.

John Minton

12:44

You printed all the scores just last year.

Mike Drago

12:44

Not gonna happen this year, I can assure you of that.

Maybe we can put them on-line. I'll suggest that.

12:45

I think JK just put some kind of magical curse on me.

Didn't like my answer.

John Minton

Okay, Mike, I'll ask about the deadline. What time is the deadline? How is the Eagle able to get the scores in Saturday's paper and not the Phillies' scores when the games end around the same time?

Mike Drago

12:46

The deadline was extended for Friday nights only, so that we can get football final scores and brief game reports in.

I feel the problem with the Print edition right now, is people are still hurt that the Reading Eagle sold at all. So they don't want to support the new business...which obviously makes no sense because On-line is free with a Paid Subscription to the print. I'd imagine, with the great job you guys continue to do, that'll pick up.

Mike Drago

12:46

I can understand the confusion, and the feelings.

12:47

Like it or not, we are the only real alternative to true local journalism.

If you're upset and don't support the new platforms, those could go away as well.

12:48

All I can tell you is that for football, I have provided as much, if not more, content for the 2019 season than for the 2018.

It's just at times in a different form.

If you go on-line, you'll see the same kinds of stories, and some with more depth than before.

And, you can often see them sooner.

12:49

Some stories that appear in the print edition are published on-line the day before.

Especially when there's breaking news.

It's a new world, and we're adjusting.

12:50

Dead presidents popping up all over the place today.

Thomas Jefferson wants me to re-post the Declaration of Independence.

Pass.

Next question.

John Minton

12:50

And the content is spread out. An example is the football preview. It used to be its own section but this year was printed over a few weeks; a bit each day.

Mike Drago

12:51

That's for noticing John.

How'd you feel about the way it was presented?

James Buchannan

12:51

Personally, I'd love to see some PSAC football scores and stories...both East and West. For instance, did you know both Slippery Rock and IUP are both nationally ranked?

Mike Drago

12:51

Mr. President: There's just not a whole lot of interest in PSAC football among our readers.

That's what the stats tell us.
