Return to Hershey


The body that oversees high school sports in Pennsylvania, the PIAA, last week, decided to keep the state high school football championships in Hershey through the 2013 season. 

The championships have been in Hershey since 1998.

Before that, it was Altoona-- a city that's hard to reach, and there's nothing to do when you get there.  It's also plagued by bad weather, right around championship time.

Keeping the games in Hershey makes sense. 

The PIAA often has trouble doing the right thing, but this was an easy and smart decision.  The reason?  There was no competing offer.
