Cast your votes for Class AAA, AA and A for the Pennsylvania High School Hockey Championships The Fans have voted and the choices for the Pa State Championships are: Class AAA - Bethel Park Class AA - Thomaas Jefferson Class A - Quaker Valley
Sources close to the Caped Crusader from outside of Gotham City northeast of Erie, Pa. and North of Mr Western NY have indicated if the negotiations with the Penguins go past February 15th, that the city of Pittsburgh may lose its professional hockey team. Once again, the State and Local Politicians have done a great job of cementing the exodus. Where is the common sense 'Concerned Citizens'? This professional hockey club has brought more publicity and goodwill to this city and almost rivals the Steelers, especially among people ages 10 - 40 ! Pa Hockey will continue, but will the Penguins Cup survive ? Will we call it [gulp], the Hornets Cup ? Wow, things could really change here people and maybe its time for public outrage ? I really wondered why the Penguins were in such a HUGE hurry to collect all of the playoff ticket money and at double the prices ? Will there be a refund or is this a stage coach holdup by a Berkle, before they ride out of town on their white horse to Kansas City ? Start singing people and follow the bouncing puck ' Goin' to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come Goin' to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come They got some crazy lil' women there, And I'm gonna get me one. I'm goin' be stand on the corner Twelfth Street and Vine I'm goin' be stand on the corner Twelfth Street and Vine With my Kansas City baby And a bottle of Kansas City wine. Well I might pick a train I might pick a plane, but if I have to walk I'm goin' just the same Goin' to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come They got some crazy lil' women there And I'm gonna get me one And one last thing, for my good friends the Villans, who collected nearly 70 High School jerseys to hang at Mellon Arena ? Hang on to them, because you can clean up the blood spilled on Mario Lemieux Place. Cause in this story, he has given too much blood and his team in this town is on life support ! imageimage
