Not asking this as a critic of private schools just curious, I see same cast of characters from out East on top of state rankings again, do you know if they get a steady flow of good transfers coming in every year to replenish rosters? I mean, Neumann, Math Civics, Imhotep, seems they never have an off year.
Mike White

Yes, they sometimes get transfers. One of Neumann-Goretti's best players this year came from Maryland. But supposedly his family moved to Philly. But let's get one thing straight. Philadelphia has a lot of talent. Much, much, much more than Pittsburgh. Those Philly kids will go to school somewhere. Yes, there is a ton of transferring but the Philly schools are on top a lot because there is a lot of talent there.

Mike, since Laurel girls lost to Bishop Canevin do you think the AD will start crying about the public / private playoffs again? Or will he remember the 57-0 blow out against Canevins football team last fall?
Mike White

I don't know. I haven't asked.

Mike, 5A Girls bracket has a 1 win team from district 2. Kind of crazy to me
Mike White
11:52
That has to do with only a few teams in a class from a district and they have to take a representative. Sometimes a team won't even want to participate in state playoffs, so they have to take the next team.

The PIAA Genie gave you 2 wishes for PIAA Basketball.  What would you wish for, other than press get a cut of the gate.

To have BIlly Owens go in a time machine and come back and play again. He was marvelous. ... And have a rematch right now with those teams from Sto-Rox and Trinity -- when guys are 30 something. And make sure Rocky Geiger plays.

Any thought on which WPIAL winners will win State?
Mike White
11:55
Hmmm. That's hard to say. Best chance for boys team I would probably have to say Vincentian. Wouldn't feel overly confident about any other team in any other class. As for girls, I think you'd have to say Char Valley. Won it last year, undefeated again this year. A 6A girls team might have a decent shot also.

What games are you covering this weekend?
Mike White
11:59
Upper St. Clair vs. Allderdice. Might go to Penn Hills and Obama also. Only games involving two WPIAL or City League teams.

Any word on lack of availability for Heinz Field for fall football championships with Pitt playing the Saturday after Thanksgiving (week 4 of WPIAL Playoffs)
Mike White
12:02
Nothing yet. WPIAL hasn't announced playoff format yet or dates. But the Pitt football game on Nov 28 probably won't have any effect. WPIAL most likely would have 4 championships three weeks after regular season. That would be Nov. 21. Pitt is away that weekend. Past few years WPIAL has played only two title games four weeks after regular season -- and those two games have not been at Heinz. So it probably wouldn't be an issue
