After four weeks of somewhat predictable and at times thrilling football, the Highway to Heinz has officially been shut down to allow four teams to celebrate and parade around with their new golden crowns. Two teams defended their titles from a year ago (with one of them successfully defending for a third straight year) while one team celebrated their first title since 2008 and the other winning gold for the first time in 47 years. Three top-seeds went the distance while the four was a 5th-seed that was ranked #1 at the start of the season. No matter how you dissect the 2011 WPIAL football postseason, the bottom line is North Allegheny, Montour, Aliquippa and Clairton are the champions!
