Yep that's another good one. I like Peters. Unless South Fayette totally controls the pace and is able to keep it low scoring. Holding Baldwin to 32 points was eye-opening, to say the least. But South Fayette has done similar things in the past. Dave Mislan does a really good job. Although I didn't see the game, I'd say no way that game would've been 37-32 with a shot clock. Good Lord, I wish Pa. would have a shot clock.

Jeannette vs. G.C.C. Friday night.  Could these be the two best teams in AA and who ya got??

Big rivalry. I think I'd probably go GCC. Obviously both are good, but don't forget about Neshannock in 2A and I don't know yet about Sewickley. And please, please, please don't sleep on Northgate. Played a really good non-section schedule. Only 5-4, but they are good. Have two big kids (maybe around 6-5 or 6-6) and they are factors. Don't forget about them.

Knoch schedule has been nothing but teams above classification what is justification of north

I just think North Catholic is pretty good. I'm not saying they will beat Knoch, but as I said, don't sleep on North.

Do you put in any stock into what Knoch and Avonworth are doing non section.  Both have played North Hills, Knoch played at McDowell, Greater Johnstown, Baldwin and Moon.  Where Avonworth played Woody High and  Penn Hills.  Both still have South Allegheny to play and Knoch also has Belle Vernon as well
Mike White

By all means yes you have to like what both teams have done out of section, especially Knoch.

Thanks for the update on Coach Palko.  I see that Pitt has a Coordinator of Recruiting Operations, and two others with titles directly related to recruiting.  Have you heard if Pitt is considering a Palko-type title for its program?  Given PSU's overwhelming success with the albeit limited talent in the WPIAL, it seems as though they should.  Thanks, Mike.

I have no idea.
Sleepers / Surprises
11:55
Who are some of sleepers/surprises in 1-6A? What teams are overperforming? what teams are underperforming? Who is gonna be our Cinderella story come post-season.

I would say Keystone Oaks is a surprise 9-2. I don't think anyone expected that.

Agree don’t sleep on north can shoot  3 and defense is very effective

It seems North always has some 3-point shooters.

OK, that's about it for today. Big, ultra important Post-Gazette sports staff meeting to attend. Sure hope they have lunch. We'll do this again next Tuesday at 11. Everyone, be good.
