Good golly! No, I never knew North Catholic was a private school. So insightful of you to point that out. Thank you.

Mike, what’s your thoughts on high school football starting? I don’t see how it will happen, if nfl and college end up playing without fans, pretty sure high school will not follow.
Mike White

I quit making predictions on what will happen in football. Let's just wait until maybe late June and look at things then.

So, Pine has it’s Board meeting on Monday the 18th & NA’s the 20th.  Prediction- Pine gets it’s top guy, NA may not due to dragging it’s feet

Very doubtful Pine will have a hire by board meeting. Will probably take longer, although I have been told that some who applied at NA will also apply at Pine-Richland.

Mike, I enjoy reading content from many different local publications. From the PG, Trib, Observer-Reporter, Beaver County Times and others. If you could add one high school writer to the PG’s team, who would it be and why? Just a nice hypothetical for your Tuesday.

Football in spring, baseball in fall. Pennsylvania baseball starts in March anyway. Weather isn’t great. Could be a consideration.
Mike White

That has been talked about. But I don't see why you can't start baseball in May anyway and play through early to mid July. Why not? Because of weather around here, not many teams play many game before early April anyway. And these times call for adjustments. So let's adjust. Start baseball late and play until mid-July. Iowa does it. Build it and they will come. I hope we don't have to have high school football in March and April, but it is intriguing thought.

Mike if I can pose a hypothetical for you, which two teams from different years do you think would be a great hoops matchup?

Schenley 2007 team vs. Fifth Avenue 1976 or Schenley 1971.

it will be very interesting to see, what kids are working? What’s kids aren’t? Will be a very interesting season either way. Being on lockdown, you can gain weight and be out of shape, or you can go the other way.

Some football teams are having "optional" workouts for players from their homes on video. Using Zoom or Google Meets, etc. I think that's great. Some teams are giving kids workout programs to do on their own.

Never watched much of Seinfeld.

Well that's about it for now. Will talk a little more high school sports with P-G buddies Ron Cook and Joe Starkey on their show at noon. Everyone, be good.
