With the exception of a
few, most school officials
recognize that the days of
Class AA and Class A
schools competing with
Class AAA schools for the
Wyoming Valley Football
Conference title are short-
lived. :
Split divisions, separate
AA and AAA Divisions are
around the corner the
local conference officials
better make a major
move or be trod upon by
those who want their
league in order.
WVC president James
Nicholas stated that he is
willing to try with
Scranton or with other
schools to give the local
conference equitable
competition.
“We could have a two
division conference with
at least nine teams in
each division. This would
mean eight games in each
division with equitable
competition among the
teams and two outside
games of the school’s
choice. In the AAA
Division this would give
them a competitive edge
in the Eastern Conference
playoff.
“Travel would not be
such a major factor. it
would mean an away
game to these schools
once every two years.
Some schools travel
farther than that now for
exhibition games or
scrimmages. We have to
stop running into a
competitive stonewall.
‘We need to have some
reality therapy with less
listening to the big schools
who like the idea of pre-
determined wins before
the season opens. Let us
accept these schools who
want to join us and divide
into division--AAA and
AA. Class AAA could
include Coughlin, Pitt-
ston, Wyoming Valley
West, Wyoming Area,
Williamsport, Tunkha-
nnock, Berwick,
Hazleton, and Nanticoke;
Class AA could be com-
prised of Dallas, Lake-
Lehman, Crestwood,
Northwest, GAR, Meyers,
Hanover, Bishop Hafey,
Bishop Hoban, possibly
Bishop O'Reilly.
“I plan to continue with
this until we come to some
agreement.”
Dallas Senior High
School Principal Edgar
Hughes, a member of the
committee to resolve this
District is in favor of the
split division.
“The committee will
meet in the very near
future and come up with a

proposal to settle the
problem. We should have
a good Class AAA and an
equally good Class AA
Division--the large
schools would become
more competitive among
other schools their size;
small schools would have
more chance to become
competitive among
schools with enrollments
comparable to theirs.
“There is no justice in
70-75 member teams
playing 35-40 member
teams. The time to end
that is now.”
