Waynesburg continues to improve? Not trying to damper there win total. But if your saying they are improving from last year I would disagree. 9 wins this year so far. Last year 7 wins. if you take away the West Greene wins this year(2) the total is the same. The team is no better than last year. I'm happy for the improvement on the win totals. But your homework would prove other wise. How about scheduling AA teams instead of single A teams. Of the 6 wins they have this year those teams are single A teams. And the other two teams they beat McGuffey/Yough have a combined 5 total wins..The Elizabeth Foward win was a good win but again they beat that team last year too.
I mentioned how the Greene County schools seem to find ways to play each other two, three, eight times per year. OK, the last one was an exaggeration. No argument from me on that one anon.
I'm not just looking at the win total when saying Waynesburg is improved.
