CTK 2013 – WPIAL Single-A Black Hills Conference Preview

August 22, 2013

Any discussion of the race in the Class A Black Hills must start with Clairton.

For sure, they are good enough to win a conference title again and maybe a sixth consecutive WPIAL and fifth consecutive PIAA. Maybe Brentwood or Monessen are ready to give a serious challenge to Clairton. Remember Char-Houston gave the Bears fits on the opening night last year.
