PIAA tables six classes in football

A busy weekend for the PIAA got off to an early start at Thursday's Board of Control meeting. There, in addition to keeping Penn State as the host site for state championship basketball games, the BOC voted to table the six classification idea for football.

The PIAA Board of Control's next meeting is schedule for July and that is the earliest the topic can be discussed up again.

The WPIAL is opposed to the six classifications and also against the shortening of the high school football season from 16 weeks to 15 for teams reaching the state championship.

Here's a link to Joe Tuscano's column from Thursday's Observer-Reporter concerning possible options for the WPIAL:
