MSA Sports Saturdays Scholastic Starz for Week Six
October 9, 2016
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.

August 31, 2016
Big Game Hunting gets bigger! Nothing wrong with that, right? 2016 and our weekly four-pack gets rounded out to an actual 6-pack. While I am not a fan yet of six classifications; I am willing to give it a try and I am a huge fan of six-packs. When someone shows up at your door and they have a six-pack, they are automatically your friend. Well in 2016 I will be showing up at your door with a six-pack every week, so that will make us friends. That’s a good thing and so is more football talk, and so is researching and writing about 150% of the games for the same amount of money right? Er…. Without further ado, let’s for the first time in 2016, go Big Game Hunting!MSA Sports Friday Night HighLights for Week Zero
August 27, 2016
I was never a math wizard, but I was always told that zero = nothing. Well these athletes have spit in the faces of mathematicians everywhere by proving that Zero actually can equate into a whole lot. Once again this season, MSA Sports looks back at some of the top performances from Friday nights around the WPIAL as we tip our first caps to those who proved that they did not need a second scrimmage to be ready for primetime.

CTK ’16: 6-A Southeastern Conference Preview
August 17, 2016
A conference in the WPIAL’s largest classification that is made up of southern suburban teams … and doesn’t include Upper St. Clair? That might seem strange, but that is how things shake down this year under the new six classification system that the PIAA put in place. The Class 6A Southeastern Conference has seven teams, including Mt. Lebanon and Bethel Park. But not Upper St. Clair. Under the new system, determined by school enrollments, Upper St. Clair will play Class 5A. The rivalry games between Upper St. Clair and Mt. Lebanon, and Upper St. Clair and Bethel Park, are no more. The new 6A Southeastern Conference has southern and eastern teams.Scholastic Notebook – 05/22/2016

Plum’s Alex Kirilloff has a good chance to be selected in the first round of the June 9 Major League Baseball draft. Teams love his bat and also like the way he plays the outfield. At Plum, they also love the way he pitches. Kirilloff has a bright future as an outfielder, but at the present, he is one dominating pitcher. He is certainly one of the best hurlers in the WPIAL. When Plum defeated Peters Township, 2-0, in the WPIAL Class AAAA quarterfinals Thursday, Kirilloff led the way with his hitting – and pitching. He had a double and triple at the plate. But he also pitched six innings , struck out 11 and gave up only one hit.
WPIAL Alum Q&A – Giorgiana Zeremenko
May 10, 2016
Giorgiana Zeremenko made headlines in helping guide Canon-McMillan to softball gold multiple times during her high-school career. Now playing at the University of Pittsburgh, Zeremenko has put herself in the record books with an incredible season for the Panthers. She is the focus of the latest installment of the WPIAL Alum Q&A. Zeremenko wasted no time in contributing for the Big Macs, as she earned All-District honors as a freshman, and was also named Canon-McMillan's defensive MVP in 2011. The following season, she was instrumental in guiding her team to the Class Quad-A WPIAL Championship, a 4-1 victory over Hempfield Area. It marked the first softball title in school history.
Hometown Softball Recap – Baldwin Highlanders – 04/21/2016
April 21, 2016
A outcome of a critical Class Quad-A Section 4 showdown changed in a matter of just a few moments, as the Canon-McMillan Big Macs used a few key plays to notch a 5-1 victory against the host Baldwin Highlanders on Wednesday. With the Highlanders threatening in the bottom of the fourth inning, Baldwin appeared to tie the game at 2-2 on a sacrifice fly by Anastasia Hale that plated Samantha Wampler from third. An appeal by Canon-McMillan resulted in Wampler being called out, however, as the umpires determined that she left the bag before the ball was caught in center field. As a result, the inning concluded and the lead remained intact for Canon-McMillan.WPIAL Hall of Fame Class of 2016
