WPIAL Friday Night Highlights – Week One 2017
September 2, 2017
The calendar may have said September 1st, but it felt more like October weather wise. On opening night of the regular season, there are usually major concerns of heat exhaustion and muscle cramps on high school football sidelines, but there was a chill in the air on the first night of conference play. No matter […]
WPIAL/City League Week One Saturday Football Scores
The rock group Kansas once released an album (look it up kids) titled Two for the Show.

Throw in a Pittsburgh City […]

August 31, 2017
Welcome to Week 1 of the high school football season. As many of you know, the MSA Sports Network had a rough off-season.

WPIAL Saturdays Scholastic Starz – Week Zero
Zero equal nothing, much like nothing from nothing leaves nothing. But Saturday in Week Zero was something, yes definitely something. In fact, the six games on the first Saturday slate made for the busiest Saturday of the entire 2017 campaign. None of the games had any postseason ramifications, but that doesn’t mean the stars weren’t […]
WPIAL Friday Night HighLights – Week Zero
August 26, 2017
It felt like late September instead of late August Friday evening as more teams than last year decided to turn on the lights, charge admission and strike up the band for a football game rather than a second scrimmage. In the lone true tune-up for a lot of teams before conference play begins out of […]
CTK ’17 – 1-A Tri-County South Conference Preview
August 25, 2017
The Tri-County South Conference has been much maligned over the years for its lack of success in winning WPIAL playoff games. But the Tri-County South this year features a running back with more than 4,000 career yards rushing and a 6-foot-4 quarterback who had nearly 2,000 yards offense last season. Suffice it to say there […]
CTK ’17 – 1-A Big 7 Conference Preview
The new-look Big Seven Conference in 2016 sort of had the feel of a wedding… Something old: The Rochester Rams of old, back on top of the Big Seven. Both they and the Sto-Rox Vikings returning to their old ways with trips to the postseason. Something new: Our Lady of the Sacred Heart with their […]
CTK ’17 – 1-A Eastern Conference Preview
Last season, the 1A Eastern Conference once again reigned supreme, with Clairton edging section foe Jeannette in the finals for the second straight year. Meanwhile, Imani Christian returned to WPIAL play and made the playoffs, while Greensburg Central Catholic uncharacteristically was out of the postseason. Despite the loss of two superstars, the Bears will likely […]
CTK ’17 – 2-A Three Rivers Conference Preview
August 24, 2017
Surely, Steel Valley can’t be as strong as last season, when the Ironmen won WPIAL and PIAA championships by invoking the mercy rule in every game. Due to the loss of a number of players, Steel Valley can’t expect a repeat of such dominance. But the question is can anybody in the Class 2A Three […]
