Tom and Rich do a great job of collecting nominations – they claim more than 850 nominations – and sorting through them to produce their all-state teams.

Here is the link to their site, directly to the all-state teams:  PENNSYLVANIA FOOTBALL NEWS ALL-STATE TEAMS

Great job by Rich and Tom.

I certainly hope that’s not the case.  What I hope you received this morning, as every morning, is the warmth of family, the joy of giving and the love of God and loved ones.

I celebrate with you the birth of Christ and the message of salvation.  If nothing else, it’s a day to draw closer to family, friends and God.  And yes, I still spell Christ and God with capital letters.  Always will.

May the peace of our Lord be with you.

(Oh, and I updated the PIAA football playoff records, filling in some blanks while I watched the Hawai’i Bowl last night. I’m a sick man, but I don’t need help.)

Merry Christmas!

Here are the updated PIAA Football Championship Playoff Records, which you can use as a soothing balm after you’re done flipping out over the all-state football teams.

For your viewing convenience, records established or tied this past season appear in red. All-time records appear in blue bold italics.
