I am excited the MLK Showcase is being held at Woodland Hills again this year. Tons of talent. Looking forward to seeing Butler vs Penn Hills and Allderdice vs Pine Richland. Do you plan on attending?
Mike White
11:43
Yes, I will be there Saturday for some of the games. Lebo vs. Math Civics & Sciences is another good one. MCS is No. 1 in the state in 2A and is three-time state champ. Always a Philly power. That game is at 1:30. The Butler-Penn Hills game is scheduled for 7:30. It is like the seventh game of the day and there is only one and half hours between each game. No way that game starts at 7:30. More like 8:30. But should be a good one.

How will Butler look next year without Ethan Morton? Still a young team i do believe..
Mike White
11:45
Carney will be back. Mattix Clement back. Few others. They will be good again. But will be a much different team. They won't get everything set up for them by Morton like they do now. Morton is one of the best passing point guards  I've seen in Western Pa. in 25 years. Tremendous passer.

Mike, maybe you can do a public service    announcement for me: for years I hear some  parents remark something to the effect” oh really,  so and so only has offers from IUP and Slippery  Rock for basketball”, or even worse if it’s D-3   school. You Watch a lot of basketball, these people  have no clue how good the kids are at that level,  yes?
Mike White

No doubt, Zman. Many basketball parents are clueless when it come to recruiting. First off, they don't realize how good (and usually big) you have to be to make it at Division I. And don't realize the talent at D-II. One of the things at D-II. The talent is a little similar to lower D-1. Difference is players aren't as big. And yes, you have to have some game to make at D-III also.

Who would you put on your Mt. Rushmore of 6a coaches?
Mike White
11:48
I'd start with Danny Holzer of Upper St. Clair and Joe David of Upper St. Clair. Hmmmmm. Hard to say from there. I'd really have to think about it.
Football

Do you think there is any merit to having 5A & 6A combine in football for regular season schedules, similar to option 2 of the WPIAL. To limit travel and keep some rivalries?
Mike White
11:54
Yes there is merit to it. I'd like to see it. I think it makes sense. Here's the thing, though. Lot of those 5A schools don't want anything to do with 6A schools. And just about no one wants to play Central.
