WPIAL/City League Week Four Scores
Mother Nature is confused. While fans, coaches and players appreciated a fifth straight dry Friday night going back to Week Zero, the first few weeks felt like early October and now as we head into the final week of the ninth month, it’s felt more like August. Like the temps, the action on the field […]

WPIAL/City League Week Two Saturday Scores
As the band Three Dog Night once sang, “one is the loneliest number that you’ll ever know”. That could be the anthem for the very light WPIAL football schedule on Saturday. Unless we’re talking at the end of the season, then being one is the ultimate goal. For now though, one = first, and a […]

WPIAL Saturdays Scholastic Starz – Week Zero
August 28, 2017
Zero equal nothing, much like nothing from nothing leaves nothing. But Saturday in Week Zero was something, yes definitely something.

WPIAL Friday Night HighLights – Week Zero
August 26, 2017

August 24, 2017
Surely, Steel Valley can’t be as strong as last season, when the Ironmen won WPIAL and PIAA championships by invoking the mercy rule in every game. Due to the loss of a number of players, Steel Valley can’t expect a repeat of such dominance. But the question is can anybody in the Class 2A Three […]

Each week is a […]
