i thought I heard Clairton was the team the Ralley in Death Valley was going to get to play Central last year if it wasn't Bridgeport.

No PCC players? Figured they would have a lineman. Pitts from WH and Simmons from McKeesport were very good.

Is Ohio even competing in this game? I thought I read something last year where they were going to play another state.

According to this article, Ohio is, but no roster for Ohio is listed...

^^^ I think manowar may be confused with Big Red.

My understanding is the Ohio Roster was not complete at the time of the article.

The Big 33 is Pa's game...they have played other states in the past.

I remember reading somewhere last year that they were contemplating playing another state.

I think that PA is trying to play Virginia in this game in the future.

As for this team, I must admit that a lot of the players are second rate.
