CTK 2012 – WPIAL AAAA Northern Eight Conference Preview

August 13, 2012

The Class AAAA conference with Northern suburban teams will have a little city flavor this season. Pittsburgh Central Catholic moves into the Northern Eight for 2012. Instead of heading east from Oakland for conference games this season, Central Catholic will head North. This is not something totally new to Central Catholic. The Vikings actually played in the Quad North in 1998 and ’99, and did not make the playoffs either year. But Central Catholic is not the only new team in the Northern Eight. Fox Chapel also moves in after more than a decade of playing in a few different conferences. But Fox Chapel also played in the Quad North in 1998 and ’99 along with Central Catholic.

WPIAL Hall of Fame Class of 2012

April 13, 2012

Neil Walker is known for his baseball talent. The current Pirates second baseman had an unforgettable baseball career at Pine-Richland High School and was a first-round draft pick. But it is what Walker also did in other sports that helped earn him a spot in the WPIAL Hall of Fame. The WPIAL Hall of Fame class for 2012 was announced Thursday at a news conference, and Walker was one of the selections. Walker was in Los Angeles with the Pirates, but his father was at the news conference at the Heinz History Center in the Strip District. Walker had a terrific baseball career at Pine-Richland, starting four seasons and batting .504 for his career. He hit .657 as a senior with 13 home runs, 42 RBIs and a 1.403 slugging percentage for a WPIAL championship team.

Scholastic Notebook – 04/08/2012

April 8, 2012

It is most certainly one of the oddest sports combinations you will see in the WPIAL. You’ll be scratching your head trying to figure out how many times you have seen a championships golfer who also is one of the best shot putters and discus throwers in the district. As odd as it sounds, Katerina Luttner is living out the combination at Fox Chapel High School. She won the WPIAL girls golf championship in 2010 and was the runner-up in 2011. She also has been a medalist at the PIAA level and has a golf scholarship to the University of Mississippi. But in the spring, she throws the discus and shot put for Fox Chapel. This spring, Luttner is the No. 1 discus thrower in the entire WPIAL with a mark of 111 feet, 8 inches. She also has the fourth-best shot put at 34-10.
