So, do you actually see the PIAA putting in a shot clock for basketball anytime soon?
Mike White
11:56
I'd like it, but I don't see it soon. It seems the powers that be don't want it. And if the National Federation doesn't pass it, then PIAA probably won't adopt it.

Do you statistically know which WPIAL Boys and Girls basketball player has scored the most 3-pointers or the most free throws during the regular season?
Mike White
11:58
Sorry don't have that. Can tell you career 3-pointers for boys, though. 346 – Micah Mason, Highlands 2008-12
334 – T.J. McConnell, Chartiers Valley 2006-10
304-Anthony Richards, New Castle 2010-14
302 – Mike Colbert, Chartiers Valley 1994-98

Can Timmy McConnell CV Girls at 52-0 run the table again? I think so.
Mike White
11:59
Just a hunch. Yes he can. But CV will be challenged at some point. Remember, it took a last second shot to beat TJ a few weeks ago.

Mike, your seedings are spot on! Fox hasn't really been challenged by schedule- no higher than a 4th seed.  The entire section stinks.  I wish people would realize that the goal is to get the Top 8 seeds correct and the rest is based upon match-ups!  Your catching some grief and it's not right.  The question I pose to you would be does the WPIAL have the guts to place USC as the 1 seed based on overall body of work?  I wouldn't mind seeing it.
Mike White

Like I said, I think USC is good enough to win it all. But I still don't see how you put them ahead of Mt. Lebanon when they split with Mt. Lebanon and Mt. Lebanon finished ahead of them in the section. And Butler beat Mt. Lebanon, which, in my mind, makes Butler No. 1.

Serious question: Did you catch the end of Fox Chapel USC? What in the world was #33 thinking.  Games over.  Down 15.  5 Seconds left, and he snatches the ball and goes in for a missed dunk?!  That's called sportsmanship!  Take your loss and go home.  The coaches should be ashamed of this.  They're lucky this didn't boil over into something else.

Yes, it was not good. But it's not the NBA. And kids will be kids sometimes.

You still believing in Pine?  Some big losses in the second half of the season.  14-8 overall is not exactly a top team
Mike White

Depends on what you mean by "believing" in Pine. Yes, they have some losses. Are they great? No. But I still think they're one of the top five teams in 6A and capable of making an impact in playoffs. But no, I don't think Pine will win it. You could see a Pine vs. Fox Chapel quarterfinal. Possibly. That would be interesting.

Hey, that's it for today. Headed to WPIAL meeting tonight for basketball pairings and seedings. Check Post-Gazette web site for news. Now begins the most wonderful time of the year. Everyone, be good.
