The Ruby Review: The Ruby PREVIEW! It’s Playoff Time!
November 7, 2014 | Joe Ruby
The Ruby Review: The Ruby Preview It’s one of my absolute favorite times of the year! All day Saturday, then Sunday, then Monday, I went back and forth from site to site, constantly checking to see if the PIAA Football Championship Brackets had been posted, and when they finally appeared, I started spending hours checking […]

Ruby Review Week 9
October 28, 2014 | Joe Ruby
It’s inevitable. Sometime around the middle of October, things change. We trade T-shirts for sweatshirts, soda for hot chocolate, and sneakers for boots. As the temperature drops and the days shorten, we brace ourselves. All across the state, high school football teams are bracing too. Some are bracing for another long winter and the cold […]

Ruby Review: Crestwood 28, Wyoming Valley West 14; Scranton Prep 28, Abington Heights 0
October 15, 2014 | Joe Ruby
They should change Frank Aigeldinger’s name to Frank Aigel-Ding!Ding!Ding!-er, because whenever he touches the ball, Crestwood hits the jackpot. Now, that might have been the worst joke about anything ever, but I firmly believe the underlying sentiment: The Crestwood Comets have themselves a special player in #3. After his performance Friday night, I think that […]

Ruby Review: Troy 17, Wellsboro 0; Wyoming Valley West 38, Dallas 14
October 7, 2014 | Joe Ruby
This past weekend, I made my longest trip of the year (119 miles each way to Wellsboro) and my shortest trip of the year (9 miles each way to Dallas). Indeed, the Wellsboro trip was a milestone in many ways; not only was it my longest trip of the year, and not only was it […]

Ruby Review: Mid-Season Mega-Post!!!
September 30, 2014 | Joe Ruby
It’s been a fortnight since I’ve last put the pen to the page… er, well, the fingers to the keys… and since then I’ve seen five great games. Some were, we’ll charitably say, a little less great than others, but every high school football game is great in my book! Every year it amazes me […]

Ruby Review: Old Forge 16, Hanover Area 13; Parkland 35, Allentown Central Catholic 7
September 15, 2014 | Joe Ruby
I got to see a little bit of everything this week. I saw some high octane offense and I saw some hard-hitting defense. I saw a winner with a roster size of nearly 80 and a winner with a roster size of 30. I saw a venerable football shrine featuring that increasingly unfamiliar holdover of […]

Ruby Review: Delaware Valley 43, Wyoming Valley West 35
September 8, 2014 | Joe Ruby
If you had come up to me after the first quarter of this game, a slow, unremarkable first quarter that featured only a single touchdown, and told me that by the end of the night I would have witnessed one of the best high school football games I’d ever seen, I would have asked you […]

Ruby Review: Introduction
August 24, 2014 | Joe Ruby
Hello everybody! This post is to announce a series of articles I’ll be writing over the coming season for PA Football News, covering games from PIAA Districts 2, 4, and 11. When I moved to Wilkes-Barre a few weeks ago, I realized that I’m 1) single, 2) not much of a partier, and 3) currently […]
