Alco 2015 schedule Completed
- Thread starter WeHave8
- Start date
The Whartons got 'em pumping some iron I guess. Or, Korn has gone over the edge with delusions of grandeur.
Or, they really think they can do this.
Or, they really think they can do this.
Everyone can say what they want about schedules but it is nice to see some local schools on the schedule. Alco/Jefferson and Alco/Musselman is very good to see. They are down to just a couple teams from long distance away. Good to see.
FH play a schedule compared to this, lol. Remember they like to handpick and put two football programs on the schedule each year. Then blame it on the playoff system
FH has a better schede than last year
With Week 1 still open FH already has a more competitive schedule than last year with the addition of Sherando and South Hagerstown (whom has a monsterous schedule themselves). I think the addition of Avalon is an improvement over Southern.

I think this guy is jerking your chains. I heard they picked up the team FH played out of Landover, Brunswick and Frederick. I think this is a joke.
Wow gonna be hard to make playoffs with this schedule... The Homecoming game will be a must win for the Campers...

Allegany:
Week 1-
Week 2- at Chestnut Ridge (PA)
Week 3- Mountain Ridge
Week 4- at Keyser (WV)
Week 5- Silver Oak
Week 6- Jefferson (WV)
Week 7- at Punxsutawney (PA)
Week 8- at Northern Garrett
Week 9- Wheeling Central Catholic (WV)
Week 10- vs. Fort Hill
Other than week 1 being inaccurate with the Musselman addition, isn't this schedule right? I'm curious as to why the inference was made that this was incorrect?

Re: Eagleinsider posted on Sunspot
I just copied that from here minus the Week 1 since I know neither FH or Alco have a Week 1 at the moment.Originally posted by FHHSAHS:
You mean Eagle is wrong? Has that ever happened before?
Re: Eagleinsider posted on Sunspot
Anyone who wasn't drinking the blue kool aide knew it. A short trip to the WV, General Discussion board. where most of the WV schedules are posted, will show that Allegany is not on Musselman's or Jefferson's schedule. Not the first time this guy has put out bad info, nice hoax tho.

I think Frederick is a good pick up for Allegany. A game that they should be able to win to get 3A points.
Darn, I guess no one believed me when I already said
Capitol Christian, Frederick and Brunswick. I guess I just don't have the cache of others on this board..........

"I think Frederick is a good pick up for Allegany. A game that they should be able to win to get 3A points."
Although it does have drawbacks not being in a conference, there are a lot of advantages being able to hand pick your schedule. Looking at the schedules for next year, it's a good chance for both teams to be undefeated going into Homecoming.

You constantly belittle FH and now are even including Alco...about their schedules. Both teams (most people agree) made some nice additions and upgrades to their schedules...and here you are commenting how nice it is to "handpick" your schedules and that both teams should be undefeated going into homecoming. As if to imply the schedules are weak.
If that was not what you meant, then my bad...but I don't think there is anyone who would've not made that same interpretation of your post.
I'm willing to be enlightened if I'm wrong in how I took your post.
People get mad because they don't want to hear the truth. And also, you tend to hear what you want to hear. I can compliment FH ten times, but if I criticize them one time people get mad, lol.
I was actually commenting on somebody else's comment: "I think Frederick is a good pick up for Allegany. A game that they should be able to win to get 3A points."
Do you know how many schools around the state would love to pick their opponents just to get playoff points? Do you know how many conferences in MD where teams face a difficult game almost every week?
Looking at the schedules, they are alright. Both teams should be favored in every game. Can you dispute that? I said last year numerous times that it's very smart to schedule that way - to get home field throughout the playoffs. The FH schedule is OK, not great for a championship team. You saw last year Capitol Christian isn't good. Avalon has a very good player but they are a small private school that isn't going to win at Greenway. Silver Oak is an automatic win. It's another year they won't face a good MPSSAA school.

Sherando and Keyser are as good as any 1A or 2A Team in Maryland
Chestnut Ridge would beat 99% of MD 1A Teams
Lol, always taking shots aren't you? Allegany will be a very good MPSSAA school this coming season.If FH would have played Northwest or Wise or a Gilman in the I-95 Classic and somehow won the game you would be here clamoring on how the other school was "down" or it was the officials....etc. Two years ago all we heard from those like you was that finally FH was going to play someone good when they met Surattsville and then Douglass......well FH won both games by shutout and then repeated those victories this season. Their "weak" schedule allowed them to accumulate by far the most bonus points in 1A and one of the highest totals out of any classification.They have won 28 straight and consecutive state titles. The schedule this season features six teams that went to their respective state playoffs last year. Show me a 1A school that plays a tougher one? I know this disappoints you, but they don't need your input on scheduling or anyone else's.
Exactly. That's the point BoyznBlue is failing to focus on..he wants to see FH lose so badly, and he hates Fort Hill so much that he loses sight of reality. And that reality is FH plays a good (even better this year) 1A/2A schedule. They are a championship team that plays a 1A schedule just as good, if not better, than any other 1A team in the state. Proven by how dominant they are over other playoff caliber 1A teams.
Notice the trend? 1A.
Not 4A, not big school, not private school, 1A. Smallest class in the state. Playing within your classification. And winning against the best in your class. That's how the real world works. FH isn't in the game to prove they are as good as any 4A school in the state. They are in the game to prove they are the best 1A school in the state.
In Sid's world, he wants teams he doesn't like to do things detrimental to their program..for his enjoyment. Doesn't work that way.
Boyz, I think that you're close to being on target but there are a few points that I would bring up in as far as scheduling is concerned. Fort Hill doesn't compete against any MPSSAA team outside of the 1A West for a playoff spot. Those are the teams that they need to get on their schedule. Unfortunately, other teams in the 1A West avoid playing FH until the playoffs. I know that this is an old argument but it's valid, until the MPSSAA changes the system. Next, the 2015 FH team hasn't won a single game yet. They are going to be very young, and, at least at the beginning of the season, very average. They have potential, and one of the best coaching staffs in the State right now so they will get better each week but right now, they have a lot of holes that they need to fill.
Another thing that I'd like to address is the Frederick pick up on Alco's schedule. Sure, it should be a win and yes they are 3A points, but the tie breaker is bonus points. Just this year we saw a tie for the fourth seed. One team played larger schools but had totalled fewer wins. The other played smaller schools, but those schools had more combined wins resulting in more bonus points and they won the tie breaker. So playing larger schools really didn't do them much good. I'm sure that the Manchester Valley people would agree with me.
Finally, this is an open board, right or wrong we are free to express our views as we see fit (within reason). As long as you're honest in your opinion, feel free to express it. No one has to agree or disagree with with you're stating, after all, this isn't the Times News! But different views should spark good discussion here. That's what this board is about.

Let me address the responses one by one:
bigdawgrefwmd: I've been following WMD area football for a long time and I agree that Sherando and Keyser are on par with Maryland 1A & 2A teams. I think the upcoming year for Sherando is going to be a rebuilding year because they are going to lose a lot of seniors. What you say about Chestnut Ridge may also be true, I don't know enough about them to say either way.
Waggle Pass: Once again, I've stated numerous times that FH has a good program and should be proud of the hard work they have put in to become back-to-back state champions. FH is obviously the best 1A team in the state. Also, You may be getting me confused with somebody else because I never said Surrattsville was a good team. Most of the best players in PG County go to 4A schools and it's difficult for the other (1A) programs to assemble a good top-to-bottom squad. In terms of what you said about Wise and Gilman, I think it was about why FH was ranked above them on the Maryland HS poll. I said it didn't make sense for a team that never plays any top MPSSAA schools to be ranked above Wise, ER, Old Mill, etc. - I didn't mention Gilman, it would be unfair to compare any 1A or 2A team to those elite private schools like DeMatha or GC.
FHHSAHS: You need to grow up. This is a public forum. If you don't agree with my opinion are you trying to tell me your best response is, "You're a Troll"? Are you 13 years old? I have never been disrespectful to anybody on this board. Also, I always support Alco and FH. To say that I hate FH is ridiculous. Many years I have at least one relative playing for the varsity. I even attended the game and supported the girl's volleyball team when they won the state title last year in College Park. And actually, I have never said anything negative about the football team other than about the schedule.
bleedred: I believe that other 1A West teams avoid FH. But I stand by my statement that FH and Alco handpick their schedules. How else do you explain Walter Johnson and St. Charles? But this mild criticism seems to really bother people on this board, lol. I miss the exciting days of the TJ, Martinsburg games at the stadium, but I do understand the way the playoff system works and it didn't make sense from that perspective. In the past, I thought that not playing a more competitive regular season schedule hurt them in the playoffs. But I was wrong about that and I said I was wrong on here numerous times.

A troll, in the vernacular of public forums, is a term that indicates a person who constantly posts things to get a rise out of people. In fact, a definition from wikipedia is: In [3] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.
The classic example of a troll is the old 9Route guy who always changed his name and called FH a cesspool and all that. I agree that you are not quite that bad, maybe just a little more refined. But nonetheless you knowingly, dare I say admittedly, post continuous remarks and sideways or backhanded compliments, in the hopes of stirring folks up. From back in the day when you immediately labeled all of Fort Hill and its administration as racists, posted doctored videos of the DC Dunbar game, and have since that moment on consistently claimed Fort Hill is a duck-and-cover, under-scheduled, paper tiger - - well, you have to admit the resemblance between you and an Internet troll are strikingly similar. So I have a serious problem with your assertion that you have "never been disrespectful".
I'm not saying you have to only agree with me or that we can't even vehemently disagree on everything. There are several posters on this site that I hardly EVER see eye-to-eye with, but they don;t consistently belittle a program based on (what I consider) skewed thinking.
I do wholeheartedly believe that you have a problem with Fort Hill's football program - not just the schedule. And you KNOW it will rile people up, especially me, when you post things. And hey, shame on me - but like you said, it's a public forum. If you didn't think it wouldn't ruffle feathers you wouldn't post it.
But me calling you a troll fits perfectly in this situation. You are being very trollish with your posts. Thus, expect the responses you get in this public forum.
When it comes to non-league games, doesn't everybody handpick their schedule?
1A West teams avoid FH? Glad you believe that. I will just copy and paste this all year:
There are 11 Class 1A West teams in 2015. Only four will be allowed into the playoffs based on wins and losses. Allegany is the only one that will play FH. Now go take your scheduling philosophy elsewhere.
THERE IS NOT A SINGLE 1A OR 2A SCHOOL IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND THAT WILL PLAY FORT HILL other than maybe Douglass of PG County. Dunbar might have if they had an opening. Handpick? Everybody handpicks not to play FH. Handpicking games is far worse at other schools across the state. It's like a "yellow" plague east of Allegany County.
It's foolish to believe FH should just go out and find a bunch of 4A schools to replace the 1A and 2A teams that won't play. Welcome Silver Oak, Capitol Christian, Avalon and MATHS. Thank goodness to these programs for having some stones.
There are some 6A schools that will fly in from California to play Wise for their Week 1 opening. Ask them if they want to take it. No disrespect for Wise, just showing that handpicking is a two-way street for most everyone even at the highest levels.
