The High School Football Huddle


Pennsylvania is one affirmative vote in May away from expanding the high school football post-season to six classification from its present four classes. However, not all schools in the state are happy with the proposal to add two classes.

The most vocal voices against expansion are coming from the western part of the state where WPIAL officials plan to meet twice next week to discuss the plans put forth by the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association. The PIAA is the state's governing body.

#6 Southlake Carroll (TX) Championship Run Is Over

Another streak has come to an end for the Southlake Carroll Dragons.

The #6 team in the USA Today Super 25 lost to Abilene 22-21 on Saturday in the 5A Division II regional finals. It was the first lost to a Texas (58 straight) team since losing the Katy 16-15 in the 2003 5A Division II championship game. It also snaps the school's championship streak of three straight. The Dragons won the the 5A Division I title last year and the 5A Division II title in 2004 and 2005, plus a 5A Division II in 2002.

On September 15th Northwestern (FL) beat the Dragons snapping their 49-game overall win streak.

For a while on Saturday it looked like Southlake Carroll (11-2) was going to keep the streak alive.

After getting the ball at its own 8 with 2:28 to play, the Dragons drove to the Abilene 10. On a second-and-4, the Dragons fumbled...Abilene (12-1) recovered and ran out the clock.
