September 25, 2012
At the end of the season, we won’t be looking back at Week 4 as one of “those” weeks with dramatic moments, miracle finishes and big games. In fact, 62 of the 67 games were decided by at least two touchdowns. Regardless, we were able to sift through the blowouts and find the three most meaningful plays from the weekend. #1 Avella Eagles 26 - Jefferson-Morgan Rockets 21MSA Sports Top Ten – WPIAL Football – 09/24/2012

September 20, 2012
Welcome to Week 4 of the high school football season. After hearing of the West Shamokin win over Riverview Friday night that ended a WPIAL record 45-game losing streak, Chick’s Picks knew this was cause for celebration. She contacted her people in Rural Valley, PA, offering to throw a party for the victorious Wolves in honor of their win. The plans were in place, so Chick’s Picks hopped in her car and headed north to kick off the festivities.Big Game Hunting for Week Four 2012
September 19, 2012
Rolling through the 2012 season in a hurry as week four comes upon us here in southwestern Pennsylvania, leaves and the weather starting to change. Not much change though at the top of the MSA Sports top ten rankings. The defending champs in each classification all sit atop their thrones with unbeaten records as we approach the midway point. But 2012 is not just a case of the rich getting richer by any stretch. Avella is 3-0 for the first time since 1976 and West Shamokin snapped the longest losing streak in WPIAL history with their 25-6 win over Riverview last Friday. Some change can be good. All this change can make it tough on the “Big Game Hunting” guy, but hey, he’s a gamer.MSA Sports Top Ten – WPIAL Football – 09/17/2012

August 31, 2012
The storylines are many as the WPIAL football season kicks off tonight. But is there a storyline with more irony than the Springdale at West Shamokin game? There is the new guy taking over for one of the winningest coaches in WPIAL history, and his first game is against a team with a historical losing streak. Dave Leasure will be in his first game as Springdale’s head coach. He takes over for Chuck Wagner, who retired last season after 47 years as a high school head coach in the WPIAL (Oakmont, Riverview, Fox Chapel and Springdale high schools). Wagner retired with a record of 270-202-11, and the 270 wins are fourth on the all-time list.
