WPIAL Alum Q&A – Evan Augustine
October 17, 2016
At a glance, the Penn State Behrend's men's soccer roster could easily be confused with a travel club of former WPIAL notables. With 25 players who hail from the district on a very successful Lions team, many could be candidates for the WPIAL Alum Q&A. Former South Park standout Evan Augustine, a senior defender, is among the very best for the squad, though. As such, he's the focus of this week's installment.This Week on the MSA Sports Network – 10/16/2016

Dominance thy name was Penn-Trafford on the "pitch" Saturday afternoon as the Warriors downed the Gateway Gators 3-0 at a sun-soaked Penn-Trafford High School. The score doesn't even give a fair indication as to how Penn-Trafford (15-1) dominated the game, as the majority of the play took place on the Gateway side of the field. While it was Senior Recognition Day at Warriors Stadium, all of the scoring game from PT juniors. Austin Kreutzberger started the scoring at the 23:01 mark of the first half with a goal, then tallied another at 11:40. The second goal came off a perfect feed from senior Austin Mossellem.Scholastic Notebook – 10/14/2016

At least in two respects, there has never been a fall sports season like this at Derry Area High School. The Derry football team is perfect and the girls soccer team is headed to the postseason. No one has ever been able to say those two things before. Derry’s football team is 7-0. The last time Derry was 7-0 was 1983. That year, the Trojans lost their eighth game to Greensburg Central Catholic. Derry will try to go 8-0 with a win against Ellwood City Friday. Derry has never had a regular season with a perfect record. Derry Township had a perfect record in the 1930s, but that was before the school merged with Derry Borough to form Derry Area.MSA Sports Top Ten – WPIAL Boys Soccer – 10/12/2016

It seems dual-threat quarterbacks are all the rage in high school football these days, from Western Pennsylvania to all around the country. Just take a look at the leading rushers in the WPIAL to see the effects that dual-threat QBs are having. Among the top 25 rushers in the WPIAL, four are quarterbacks – and two of the top seven are quarterbacks. Beaver quarterback Darius Wise is third in the WPIAL in rushing with 1,093 yards. Burrell’s Max Garda is seventh with 791. Wise is averaging 11 yards a carry. After those two, McGuffey’s Marcus Czulewicz is 15th with 702 yards rushing and North Allegheny’s Ethan Maenza 23rd with 584 yards, and he missed a game with an injury.MSA Sports Top Ten – WPIAL Boys Soccer – 10/06/2016
