WPIAL Saturday’s Scholastic Starz for 9/27

On a picturesque evening at Dormont Stadium, the only WPIAL game on the fifth Saturday of the 2014 season took place. The stakes were high with five teams, Fort Cherry, Brentwood, Northgate and the two teams slated for Saturday night, Chartiers-Houston and Bishop Canevin all muddled together with one game separating the five in the battle for the final two playoff spots in the Black Hills Conference. One game, but double the stars as they raised the Jolly Roger in Washington County. Alex Ferrari - Chartiers-Houston

WPIAL Week 5 Saturday Football Score

They say one is the loneliest number that you'll ever see. Unless you are flying solo on a Saturday in Primetime. That was the case for the final WPIAL football game in Week 5. 122 district teams strutted their stuff on Friday, now a pair of Class A Black Hills Conference teams battled until the games final minute to officially close the door on the first half of the season. WPIAL CLASS A Black Hills Conference: Chartiers-Houston Buccaneers 26 - Bishop Canevin Crusaders 14 (MSA)

WPIAL Friday Night HighLights for 9/26

We hit the midway point of the 2014 WPIAL football regular season with points a plenty. Offenses around the district continue to amass record setting numbers with good solid defenses creeping closer to the endangered species list. Friday night saw 12 teams score over 50 points and five of those teams eclipsed the 60 point plateau. And that doesn't even include the traditional 70+ point total for Clairton. With those mind-numbing numbers, here are some of the top performers from the Fifth Friday of the season. Connor Slomka - Pine-Richland

Scholastic Notebook – 09/26/2014

September 26, 2014

Whether it’s the football end zone or a soccer net, both places are treated like a crime zone by the fall sports teams at Pittsburgh Central Catholic. They might as well put yellow tape around the end zone or net because the Central Catholic teams take a “keep out” attitude towards them. It is unusual for two fall sports teams to have such a successful zero tolerance policy. The Central Catholic football team is 4-0 and has allowed only seven points in four games. The Vikings have three shutouts and are the No. 1 defensive team in the WPIAL. The Central Catholic boys soccer team has played 11 games and has allowed only one goal. The Vikings are 11-0 and have outscored opponents, 56-1.

Every weekend, there are 62 high school football games played around the WPIAL, most of them on Friday and generally less than a handful on Saturday.

Here are ALL of the final results from ALL 61 contests. WPIAL CLASS AAAA Northern Eight Conference: Pine-Richland Rams 32 - North Hills Indians 15 North Allegheny Tigers 55 - Shaler Titans 14 Seneca Valley Raiders 29 - Butler Golden Tornado 22 WPIAL CLASS AAAA Foothills Conference: Altoona Mountain Lions 30 - Norwin Knights 21

Chicks Picks – Week Five – 2014

Welcome to Week 5 of the high school football season. Becoming a local celebrity has its perks, and Chick’s Picks was set to enjoy yet another last weekend. The resident WPIAL football prognosticator was asked by the Pittsburgh Pirates to throw out the first pitch Saturday night when they took on the Brewers. Chick’s Picks did not hesitate to accept the offer, especially considering the tremendous success the Pirates have had this season. Game night arrived. Chick’s Picks was escorted onto the field by the Pirates PR staff. As she stepped onto the mound, she took it all in—the bright lights, the sellout crowd of over 37,000 fans, and even the famous Pirates Pierogies. Then, the nerves set in.

WPIAL Big Game Hunting – Week Five – 09/24/2014

September 24, 2014

Welcome to week five of Big Game Hunting. Before we get started a word from our sponsor (yours truly). I am already on the record with regard to this issue but it seems I am the lone voice crying out in the wilderness. I hate the seven o’clock starts! There seems to be an overwhelming movement towards them and it is very frustrating. Why is the hurry that already consumes our everyday lives being allowed to worm its way into my favorite thing? I find it despicable, truly. There I have gotten that off my chest and since I know holding my breath and stomping my feet will not help I will just go Big Game Hunting. Super-irritated by the fact that three of the four-pack are of the shameful seven o’clock start variety.

WPIAL Saturday’s Scholastic Starz for 9/20

For the second and final time this season, a WPIAL Class Quad-A game slipped into the Saturday schedule as the annual homecoming game at Shaler joined a list of three of the 'regulars' hosting Saturday afternoon high school football. While overcast skies replaced brilliant sunshine in the second half of these four contests, these players continued to shine bright al afternoon long. Lucas Dubyak and Tim Vernick - Butler

WPIAL Friday Night HighLights for 9/19

Neither players or coaches can complain about the weather in the first four weeks of this season as Mother Nature has cooperated very nicely. And the turned toward huge offensive numbers continued around fields in Southwestern Pennsylvania on the fourth Friday of the WPIAL football season. Thus it makes our job that much tougher with so many young men who deserve post-game kudos, only a few can receive our top ten tip of the cap. Ben DiNucci - Pine-Richland

Scholastic Notebook – 09/19/2014

September 19, 2014

At the rate he is passing, Pine-Richland quarterback Ben DiNucci has a good chance to become the 17th player in WPIAL history to throw for 5,000 career yards. While that is an impressive feat, Pine-Richland does thro the ball often. So DiNucci will naturally pile up yardage. What might be more impressive about DiNucci is his accuracy. DiNucci is a 6-foot-2, 195-pound senior who you probably wouldn’t want to play in darts. Sure, in Pine-Richland’s spread offense, DiNucci throws a number of short passes. But he still throws downfield and his accuracy is uncanny.

WPIAL & City League Week 4 Friday Football Scores

So on what was another gorgeous night for football, here are ALL of the results from the WPIAL and Pittsburgh City League football schedule on Friday night. WPIAL CLASS AAAA Foothills Conference: Connellsville Falcons 34 - Hempfield Spartans 26 McKeesport Tigers 34 - Latrobe Wildcats 6 Penn-Trafford Warriors 42 - Altoona Mountain Lions 21 Plum Mustangs 23 - Norwin Knights 14 WPIAL CLASS AAAA Southeastern Conference:

Chicks Picks – Week Four – 2014

September 18, 2014

Welcome to Week 4 of the high school football season. Throughout the first two weeks of the season, Chick’s Picks had seen remarkable scores posted by Clairton—70-0 over California and 86-0 over Wilkinsburg. Despite heavy criticism from the peanut gallery that the Bears were running up the score, opposing coaches did not seem to share that opinion. So, Chick’s Picks decided to head out to Westmoreland County last Friday night to bear witness as Clairton took on Greensburg Central Catholic.

WPIAL Big Game Hunting – Week Four – 09/17/2014

September 17, 2014

One third of the way into the 2014 season and the field is taking shape quite nicely, we have some traditional powers and some new kids on the block. Most satisfying for us here at BGH, there never seems to be any shortage of Big Games to choose from on a given weekend. Kudos to the WPIAL football steering committee for their expertise and vision. Just as there is no shortage of Big Games there seems to also be no shortage of articles calling themselves Big Game Hunting. You would do well for yourself to stick here with the original and, best I can tell, the only one that features an actual article on the games when you click on the link. Minor detail, maybe to some, but it feels like a big deal to us.
