Not at all. Look at other years. Teams not from Allegheny County have brought good crowds before. Look at Penn-Trafford last year. Remember, attendance at Heinz (Acrisure) has dropped for a number of years over the past decade or so. It's just the way it is. It is something I started to notice about 10-15 years ago. I don't have answer why. But for some reason, fans don't go as much to playoff games as regular season games, or so it seems. I mean, I go to a big game every week in regular season. Many times they are packed. I think student sections have gotten bigger in past 15 years or so. Not so in playoffs. And remember, if 5A and 6A games were at Acrisure, that would've helped attendance. But I'm tellin' ya, for whatever reason, people don't go to playoffs and championship games like they used to. Heck, the first year at Heinz, almost 40,000 attended the four WPIAL games.

How about the true Cinderella this football season in Cocalico in 5a. They play pine this week this team was the number 12 and last overall seed in the district 3 playoffs. Will they continue this run and beat Pine?

Indeed a Cinderella team. And old-school. They run the veer offense. Johnny Majors would probably love them.
