September 24, 2014
It's amazing to think that we're nearly at the halfway point of the 2014 WPIAL regular season. Where does the time go? Well, that question is coincidentally what several coaches were thinking in Week Four as, with little time left, the sideline bosses would roll the dice and go for a two-point conversion to win the ballgame. Three of the four Plays of the Week involve late scores and the two point gambles that propelled their squads to big wins in pivotal games. Let's get it rolling with the Plays of the Week for Week Four: 1. Mount Pleasant 28, Waynesburg Central 27District College Football Recap for Saturday, September 20th

Week 2 of the district college football scene has some good games and some strange happenings this weekend and it's not even close to Halloween. The PSAC begins it's first week of crossover play with East meeting West but after a May vote of the PSAC board, these games all count in the conference standings, so it is possible that a game in September could determine the representatives in the State Title Game in November. In the PAC, there are four meetings between PAC members this weekend, but due to the conference now having 14 teams and playing an unbalanced schedule, these games do not count towards the conference title.WPIAL Plays of the Week – Week Two 2014
September 8, 2014
1. Pine-Richland 28, North Allegheny 24 (OT) Possibly the top-billed game of week two produced the top play of week two as well. After battling back and forth for 48 minutes, Northern Eight Conference powers Pine-Richland and North Allegheny went to overtime, tied 21-21. After the Tigers had to settle for a field goal, Pine-Richland would get their shot at the win. That’s when Rams Quarterback Ben DiNucci would take over.District College Football Recap for Saturday, September 6th
