Which game did you see to know the strengths and weaknesses of St Johns?

It's really not hard to figure out. The biggest difference betwee A and AA is the lines of scrimmage. Same as it is between AA and AAA.

St. Andrews is very physical on both lines of scrimmage.

I have decided that if I witness another "melt-down" by a member of the coaching staff against either of these great icons, I will speak to the coaching staff personally. QUOTE]

Mighty BIG words!!!!!!!!!!! Lol. You must be a beast of a man huh!

y is st andrews even in scisa there in the state of georgia

here we go again

Because the private schools in nc and ga or so much better, they would have a hard time competing. Scisa is a good fit for them.

Can't take it literal. Kind of like why are there 11 teams in the Big 10.

Actually, this is not exactly true. The teams in GISA are nowhere near the quality of the teams in SCISA. If you played a GISA vs SCISA tournament of champions where all of the girl's and boys champions from each classification played, SCISA would win just about every one.

NCISAA is a totally different story. They are head and shoulders above SCISA.

The reason that St. Andrew's, Bible Baptist and Augusta Christian are all in SCISA is because those teams just fit better in what SCISA offers academically as well as athletically.

this crap really pisses me off. If you want sumthin else to think about, 17, why is it st. johns CHRISTIAN, from wat ive herd on this thing that doesnt fit to well with yalls school...this stuff is pointless, SJCA, if you want to complain about us runnning all over yall after the game if we win, then find that GA hater topic from last yeat, and whine on that thing. i know not everybody in SCISA believes this, but the few out there that still complain about it really piss me off

Saints21, your coach should be proud. You are acting first class!

I would have to disagree with you ksufreak.
With:
13 A teams, 2 regions
22 AA teams, 4 regions
17 AAA teams, 4 regions
3 Freelance teams
The # of teams makes it more difficult to compete, I mean the top 4 from a region go to the playoffs in SCISA. There are always teams in the playoffs that are a joke.
I know Hilton Head Prep played a first or second year team from Bethesda a couple of years ago and beat the crap out of them. But what A team in SCISA would have been any more competition.
I guess my second point would be that teams from Valdosta, Dublin, Statesboro, Atlanta, Athens, Albany, and place that you never heard of, that got nothing but football, and make Dorchester seem like a bunch of wanna-be red-neck preps.
Football is just a differet animal in Georgia. Why do you think USC and Clemson recruit out of state so hard?
There are just more football schools at every level of classification both private and public.

Also I agree with saints21, why is this a topic? No one minded they were from Ga when they could barley lineup a few years ago.

I also forgot saints21: all HHP fans complaining about playing in an awful storm, your coach chose to make you a spread team.

I thought you resolved the SJCA players posting on here problem SJCA? Keep giving me valid reasons to show you have no respect. St. Andrews is in SCISA, they make it a better league. I'd much rather have St. Andrews represent SCISA than to ever have SJCA do it. Grow up, and play to some competition instead of Little Miss Christian Academy's every week despite local rivalries and conference.

I think the young man did not realize that this is a horse that has already been beaten to death in SCISA. I do not feel that he was trying to make any excuses if SJCA loses, Saints21. Honest mistake, I think. Look forward to the game Friday.

IMO it is a non-issue with St.Andrews crossing the state line. They do it because it makes more sense geographically. It has nothing to do with academics or them wanting to step up or down in competition. Augusta and Savannah are right on the border of SC, and have suburbs in SC. My question is why doesn't Augusta Prep and Memorial Day play in SCISA? These Augusta and Savannah schools play in SC for the same reason Spartanburg Day and other schools in the upstate play in the NC league, because it makes sense geographically.

Frankly I think that the discussion about who is going to win this game between St.Andrews and the message board team should stop after this post. St.Andrew's is going to roll. Look at how bad they beat Bible Baptist, then look at how bad Bible Baptist beat the message boarders. Fans of the message board team, I understand you all have a high level of school spirit and that you will all become insane with rage after reading this but you guys have absolutely no chance this Friday. Stop predicting an upset and help out your coaching staff and players by scouting your first round opponent.

With all of the basketball posts I have been doing, I guess I kind of got lost in where I was posting but I was thinking more along the lines of basketball than football.

But as far as football goes, if you go look at the teams that are actually in GISA, you would find that the top SCISA teams would be very good against the top GISA teams in each classification.

Most of the really good private school football programs in Georgia play in the public school leagues. Teams like Greater Atlanta Christian, St, Pius X, Marist, they are all public school league teams. It is that way in Atlanta, Macon and Savannah.

Being that I am the only one on here posting about the HHP/St. Andrew's game, I guess you are referring to me complaining about the game being played in the storm.

I am not complaining at all and I have done nothing but congratulate all of the SAS fans on a very well played game.

HHP chooses to play a spread the same as Hilton Head Christian does. It works for them if the conditions are right. I was absolutely SHOCKED that Colleton Prep moved the game from Friday night to Saturday night. I think they would have had a much better chance of winning if they played in the rain Friday night.

If HHP or HHCA plays in the playoffs and the weather is good, they can beat any of the teams they play in the first couple of rounds. If the weather is bad, they probably can't.
