@ChronBrianSmith There is no explaining to do. That defense can't get stops. You get the 2, you win. If they couldn't stop Tennessee from going down the field, why would you think they could stop a potential 2-pt. conversion?

Something has to give in District 4. I saw three games today where the NTL was higher seeded and lost all of them. A power rating is sorely needed. If the NTL AD's/admin don't like it, too bad. Play better competition. The PHAC is dominating in girls BB.

No rosters, no programs, nothing for media. This is hardly a "state championship" feel. You want to play the District 3 championships here, OK. But forcing media to sit in the stands because you can't provide an adequate view is not acceptable. This is embarrassing. @PIAASports
