Frankfort wouldn’t beat FH. Ridge is about the same level as Alco. FH is a huge step above. FH is at least 2 TD better than Frankfort. Frankfort has a team like this 1 in every 25 years. Transfers helped Frankfort. The kid that transferred this year from keyser scored 3 TD tonight and is all over the place from his lb position. Also, Frankfort has played a ridiculously weak schedule.

Meh. Sure I'd like to see them play FH. It makes no sense that they don't, even though the still play Ridge. But whatever. Let them enjoy their local area championship.
I understand why they don't play FH, they have nothing to gain at all.... they played in a state Title game a year ago and are playing a pretty good schedule in WV, they would lose most years to FH. I'm not sure why they don't play Allegany as they would win 7 out of 10 years....
Frankfort to me is the better team this season and will have a chance to win a title, FH will probably still 1A
I'm just saying this is the worst FH team I've seen in about 10 years, it's 3rd and long and they run the middle, that tells me they have no offense and no confidence in the offense.

Frankfort beat Ridge by 37, If FH comes close I will agree but I honestly after seeing both in person think Frankfort is the better Team This year, it happens 1 out of every 20 years but I think this is the year... if FH wins by 4 scores next week I will admit they are better if they don't win by 4 scores there's no doubt in my mind Frankfort is better this season.
If I was voting in a poll Frankfort would be #1 and Fort Hill #2 , again I think MD 1A is so bad that FH wins it again but this is the worst FH team of talent and coaching that i've seen in a very long time...
Frankfort wouldn't beat Dunbar or Briar Woods. Not even close. Yet alone have the stones to even think about putting their kids in that situation.
What's that have to do with this area?
Let me rephrase so no one gets their panties in a bunch...Frankfort is playing the best right now, locally. I don't think FH beats Ridge by 37 this year.
I'm no Frankfort sympathizer, but they are a very good team right now. And they can throw the ball very well. And their line is better than FHs currently. Would they beat FH? IDK..but they are the best looking/most successful team in this area right now. Settle down. Lol
1- FH
2- Frankfort
To be the champ you need to at least consider playing the champ. FH would be 10-0 with Frankfort’s schedule. Frankfort would be 6-3 with Fort Hill’s.
I do think Frankfort has the better line but no depth and since they have not had to play starters in the fourth yet, we do not know.
Would it be a fun game - yes. But no need to think about it- it won’t happen.

Not sure why anyone would even bring up the subject. You are comparing running clock scores. FH beat Northern by 35 but Frankfort only beat them by 31. That's how silly this sounds.
My point with the runners up comment was to the post about playing the champs. They'll play the runners up, but not the champs. Supposed to be sarcasm.
And why not run #5 in the wildcat? Can't hurt. Teach him to run the option with #3 and #2. Since FH rarely throws the ball, this would open up their running plays to more than pound-it-up-the-middle. When your playing against a team with so much beef on the line, running the dive play over and over is just going to wear out our smaller, less experienced line faster. And, dace it, our line was getting blown off the ball.
And, what happened to the quick toss to #5. Why not try some WR screens top open the middle a little. #2 is more than capable of making people miss.
I, too, think this team was better than FH. However, unlike the Dunbar game, this one was winnable. With the turnovers, especially the pound-it up the middle deep in their own territory when BW was stuffing it all night, they allowed momentum to switch and for BW to play a little less predictably.
I figured if FH was going to keep up with this team it would have to be in the first half. With BWs ability to sub, they were fresh on most plays. They had FH's defense running all over the field. It really showed in the second half.
Finally, BW is well coached and has an extremely talented QB who made good decisions. Again, a winnable game with a much better game plane.
Go ahead, call me a armchair QB. It's what I am, but at least I have some common sense. You have to adapt your playbook to the players you have. We just don't do that well.
🤣🤣🤣 Frankfort wouldn't beat Hollidaysburg. what you smoking or sniffing.
They just beat their first team with a winning record, just because they were in the game with FH u say they are good lol
Hollidaysburg will still lose a few more games as they start playing Teams with winning records. They have lost to FH 8 times in a row!
When The Season ends Frankfort will be 10-0 and Area Champs..... all other locals will have at least 3 losses
You took the words out of my mouth. if you can't play somebody because you know you will lose then why would anybody consider putting them above a team they won't play. I understand why they won't play FH and I don't think they are wrong, but are they saying they deserve to be above FH or is that just noise.
I'm beginning to think the mentality of the coaches is "we don't need to win this game, we don't care if we win this game, we are not changing or adapting as our goal is to win a state title and we do that by playing the way we are right now and it will beat everybody in 1a. We are not going to waste time practicing plays we'd only use against a Dunbar or BW when we don't need it to win the rest of our games".
I see one problem with this "everybody makes the playoffs so it doesn't matter". You have to be one of the top two seeds to be guaranteed home field. If FH doesn't rack up enough points to be one of the top two and they have to go on the road I see them losing. FH is not the same team on the road in the playoffs that they are at home. I think we all remember the last time FH had a road playoff game...massacre.
Copy & Paste from my other post:
If fans wish to swap out this FH schedule with other area teams and run a gauntlet of Moorefield, Hampshire, Weir, Northern and Mtn Ridge -- be my guest and feel free to make comparisons while sitting in the stands bored from the results.
Frankfort was asked to play FH on Oct 18 this past winter when both were struggling to find a game that week. Frankfort said no way to a mega financial gate and picked up a team to drive 3 hours and play. That's fine, but it ends this discussion.
frankfort hasn't beaten a team with a winning record other than the weakest mtn ridge team in 5 years

I would tend to agree. Though I don’t think it has anything to do with any historical factors. The FH team that year was, not mincing words, soft. And they also played a pretty poor schedule that year from what I remember aside from the Erie team because some of the opponent's had unexpected down years.
This team, if they have to play on the road in the postseason, will at least have the experience of being in some tough games with quality competition.
Agreed. And what doesn’t take hold this year, is more than likely going to help them the following.
