WPIAL Week Nine Saturday’s Scholastic Starz
October 28, 2012
One team was playing for playoff positioning and a chance to finish as high as third place instead of sixth place while the other was home for one final game playing for pride and bragging rights against an arch-rival. That was the setup for the final Saturday of the 2012 WPIAL football regular season and the lightest day of the season with only two games on the docket. But that didn't slow down these two players from shining bright on a dreary afternoon.Patrick Frey - TrinityWPIAL Week Eight Saturday’s Scholastic Starz

Five games made up the next-to-the-last Saturday high school football schedule in the WPIAL. While two potential playoff teams were involved, there was more Pride talk than Playoff talk when it came to the scholastic gridiron action on this third Saturday in October. Here are the players who performed with a lot of pride in ALL aspects of the game while dishing out the pain to their opponents on offense, defense and special teams.Dennis Briggs - Shady Side AcademyWPIAL Week Three Saturday’s Scholastic Starz

August 24, 2012
The Class A Big Seven Conference may have underwent the biggest changes of all the conferences in the WPIAL. Gone are the Cornell Raiders with that school dropping football. Entering in the conference are the OLSH Chargers, who challenged for the playoffs in only their second year of football, along with the Laurel Spartans, who went to the Class A Semifinals in 2009. The conference underwent a huge change on the head coaching front as three of the eight schools will have new bosses entering the season. A conference member has played for the WPIAL title the last four seasons, but all four times, has fallen to Clairton in the title game.

During the first four weeks of Saturday high school football in the WPIAL, the schedule has been light and the top performances have been spread out like a modern day offense. However the busiest Saturday of the season to date with a total of eight WPIAL games produced more than a few stars of a gloomy, chilly, wet...and dare I say perfect day for football.Saturdays Scholastic Starz – 09/25/2011

The final Saturday of September in the 2011 high school football season saw two Class AA and three Class A conference tilts. If you do the math, the light schedule gives us a perfect five games to select five top performances. Math makes me dizzy, much like these players Saturday made their opponents feel.
