It is most certainly one of the oddest sports combinations you will see in the WPIAL. You’ll be scratching your head trying to figure out how many times you have seen a championships golfer who also is one of the best shot putters and discus throwers in the district. As odd as it sounds, Katerina Luttner is living out the combination at Fox Chapel High School. She won the WPIAL girls golf championship in 2010 and was the runner-up in 2011. She also has been a medalist at the PIAA level and has a golf scholarship to the University of Mississippi. But in the spring, she throws the discus and shot put for Fox Chapel. This spring, Luttner is the No. 1 discus thrower in the entire WPIAL with a mark of 111 feet, 8 inches. She also has the fourth-best shot put at 34-10.MSA Sports Top Ten – WPIAL Baseball – 03/28/2012

Derry Area wrestler Jimmy Gulibon is in Hershey this weekend, trying to make history. The Derry senior is trying to become only the 10th wrestler in Pennsylvania to win four state titles. If Gulibon wins, this one would probably mean the most, simply because of what he overcame this season. Flash back to late December, when Gulibon was wrestling in the finals of the Powerade Tournament. He won, but sustained a left knee injury. Gulibon, and some others, thought the injury might be serious. They thought it might be an ACL tear. “He was very scared because he never even really had an injury before,” said Derry coach Mike Weinell. “We didn’t know at the time how serious it was. Jimmy just knew he couldn’t do what he does. He couldn’t push off his foot or his leg.”2012 WPIAL GIRLS BASKETBALL PLAYOFF RESULTS

How fitting was it in the four heavyweight championship bouts at Duquesne University between each classifications #1 and #2-seeds that when the dust settled, we would have a split decision. Top-seed Hopewell in Class AAA rode the back of superstar Shatori Walker-Kimbrough to district gold while #1 Seton-LaSalle in Class AA was perfect in winning back-to-back titles. Second-seed Mount Lebanon claimed their third WPIAL AAAA championship in the last four years while #2-seed Vincentian Academy stunned defending champion North Catholic for the second time in three years, giving the golden crown back to the Royals. Here are ALL of the final results from the 2012 WPIAL Girls Basketball Playoffs.You can go back and listen to any of the games below on archive on MSA Sports sponsored in part by McDonalds and by Carlow University.Shatori Walker-Kimbrough Shines Bright With 35 As Hopewell Claims WPIAL Gold
