Chicks Picks for Week Seven

October 13, 2016

Welcome to Week 7 of the high school football season. Chick’s Picks had a tremendous performance last week, a career week, in fact – correctly predicting 53 winners. Each Sunday, Chick’s Picks spends time reflecting on the weekend’s games, analyzing the good, the bad, and the ugly. Despite her top-notch performance, a few incorrect picks were eating at her.

South Side Rams Hometown Volleyball Broadcast Recap – 10/12/2016

The Lady Rams of South Side battled hard and hung tough against the visiting Trojanettes of Cardinal Wuerl North Catholic, but fell short 3-1 (25-14, 24-26, 25-13, 25-16) in a Class 2A Section 2 clash. South Side jumped to an early lead in the opening set. Sophomore Rachel Pieto's back-to-back aces to start the match gave the Lady Rams the early momentum. CWNC would battle back with their own success from the service line. The Trojanettes recorded six of their 18 service aces in the first set, four coming from Sammy Robb, and took the opening stanza 25-14.

WPIAL Plays of the Week – Week Six 2016

October 11, 2016

Perhaps no week thus far in the 2016 campaign has had as many standout plays as this most recent slate of games. Narrowing the list to just four shining moments was particularly difficult, but alas, these selections cover a wide variety of action. Included in Week Six is a winning pass in the closing seconds to squash a 1A upset bid, a long defensive score that produced the deciding points, a jaw-dropping individual effort in one of the most anticipated WPIAL games in decades, and a prolific player adding to his resume with an overtime winner.

WPIAL Alum Q&A – Macky Fouse

October 10, 2016

Last week in the WPIAL girls golf championship, Central Valley's Kiaria Porter claimed the Class AA title. Porter could eventually become the next great in the brief but impressive history of the Warriors girls golf team. Prior to her, though, it was Macky Fouse who captured both individual and team championships. Fouse, now a junior on the Seton Hall golf squad, is profiled this week for the WPIAL Alum Q&A. Fouse's resume was incredibly impressive during her time at Central Valley, as she helped guide to Warriors to an undefeated mark of 60-0 in dual meets over her four years, as well as four team WPIAL championships.

MSA Sports Saturdays Scholastic Starz for Week Six

Some of the Homecoming Queens at high schools in Western Pennsylvania are selected by way of vote, while other winners are decided randomly by whichever rose they select. Three schools celebrated homecoming weekend with Saturday high school football games instead of on the traditional Friday night. Here are the performers who may not have selected the correct rose, but they were definitely a thorn in the side of their opponents. Jordan Castelli and Bryan Milligan - Canon-McMillan

MSA Sports Friday Night HighLights for Week Six

October 8, 2016

The second half of the WPIAL football season began with a BANG...albeit a very wet bang. Or in the case of Class 3-A Allegheny Conference front running Keystone Oaks, the second half began with a POWE, as in newly eligible wide receiver Quran Powe. While he had a nice debut, it was his signal calling teammate who was one of the Week 6 standouts in a rainy edition of the HighLights. Let's begin to tip our drenched caps. Zane Dudek - Armstrong

WPIAL and City League Football Finals for 10/7

October 7, 2016

Last Friday, we closed out the month of September. This Friday, we kicked off the second half of the regular season with the first Friday of October. The night brought a mixed back of comfortable temperatures and some rain in the forecast. We also had a mixed back a big conference games and HUGE non-conference frays highlighted by the much anticipated battle of champions as Aliquippa visits Clairton. Big school or small school, fights for first place or battles for pride, we had an autumn cornucopia of WPIAL high school football with 28 games streamed live and archived here on The Network. WPIAL CLASS 6-A Northern Seven Conference: Pittsburgh Central Catholic Vikings 49 - Butler Golden Tornado 7 (F)

Scholastic Notebook – 10/07/2016

It seems dual-threat quarterbacks are all the rage in high school football these days, from Western Pennsylvania to all around the country. Just take a look at the leading rushers in the WPIAL to see the effects that dual-threat QBs are having. Among the top 25 rushers in the WPIAL, four are quarterbacks – and two of the top seven are quarterbacks. Beaver quarterback Darius Wise is third in the WPIAL in rushing with 1,093 yards. Burrell’s Max Garda is seventh with 791. Wise is averaging 11 yards a carry. After those two, McGuffey’s Marcus Czulewicz is 15th with 702 yards rushing and North Allegheny’s Ethan Maenza 23rd with 584 yards, and he missed a game with an injury.

Chicks Picks for Week Six

October 6, 2016

Welcome to Week 6 of the high school football season. Chick’s Picks attended her favorite yearly golf outing last week. Though the event is for charity, Chick’s Picks – a scratch golfer – often gets bored rather easily with the lackluster play of average golfers. While driving to the 16th hole, a very brief rain shower passed through, but then rewarded the golfers with a rainbow.

Big Game Hunting for Week Six 2016

The game we all circled back on our calendars when the 2016 WPIAL Football schedule came out is finally here. While normally I frown on even inter-conference games getting into Big Game Hunting, let alone an inter-classification game, this game is different. These two teams have long been the gold-standard for WPIAL football and their meeting this Friday at Neil Brown Stadium this week, cannot be denied as a big event for any fan of WPIAL football over the last two decades. I don’t imagine I will get emails complaining about my choices this week, but as a reminder, those should all now be directed to ChixPix1@msasports.net. For now let’s go Big Game Hunting!
