WPIAL

WIll Clairton or Fort Cherry get the one seed? Interesting case for both
Mike White
11:33
That is such a tough call. Honestly, I don't know what I think. I'm not a big fan of giving a team a higher seed over another just because they're the defending champ. On the other hand, Fort Cherry is really good. Matt Sieg is an X factor. But Clairton is really good. If you made me choose, I'd probably put Clairton at No. 1 seed. However, here is something to think about. I think Bishop Canevin probably deserves No. 3 seed. So maybe you put Bishop Canevin on opposite side of bracket since they already played Fort Cherry. So maybe you then put Clairton No. 2 and Bishop Canevin No. 3.

Don’t look now but Mt. Lebo is about to crash the playoff party.
Mike White
11:33
It's not exactly hard to crash the playoff party in 6A.

Mike, Thanks for doing this! I see 5 teams in the wild card race in 5A. Moon, South Fayette, Kiski Area, Latrobe, Gateway. Which 3 make the cut?
Mike White
11:36
Well first off, if Latrobe and Kiski Area lose this week and Gateway wins, Gateway gets No. 4 spot in conference because of tiebreaker points. I don't see any way a wild card team comes from Northeast unless Plum beats Penn Hills. So I would probably go Moon, South Fayette and fourth place team in Big East.
New Coach
11:36
Think Chartiers Valley could convince Palko to coach or beg Render to come out of retirement ? This losing is getting tiring
Mike White
11:36
You're delirious.
Shut it down
11:36
If Chartiers Valley loses to Ringgold they should just shut the whole program down. Agreed ?
Mike White
11:37
No, shut down all sports. Shut down the school. Shut down Upper St. Clair. Shut down Mt. Lebanon. Shut down the entire WPIAL!!!!!!!
Capt. Lou Albano
11:37
When are the playoffs brackets announced?
Mike White
11:38
Saturday afternoon on KDKA radio starting at 1. It will also be live streamed.
Ryan

What do you think about Kiski do the cavaliers have a shot at the wild card for playoffs Go Kiski
Mike White
11:40
Very little shot. They likely would have to beat Woodland Hills. But Woody High's QB is hurt, so maybe that will help Kiski's chances.
Kevin

You think Pittsburgh Dad is fun at parties?
Mike White
11:40
About as funny as a root canal.
USC Hoops
11:40
Do you really think USC could be nationally ranked ? Can they win a State title ? Barring injury of course
Mike White
11:40
Oh, USC might represent the U.S. at the World Championships this summer. That's how good they are.
Coco B. Ware
11:41
Can’t remember a time when the WPIAL championships were this up for grabs. Central Catholic is really the only odds on favorite to win it. 1A through 5A are all wide open. I think it’s a good thing.
Mike White
11:42
Yes, I would agree. Playoffs should be interesting.
Football Dude
11:42
Mike, D10 has two media members (Bob Greenburg and the guy from the ETN) on their committees to determine brackets.  That is why I asked about you and Don
Mike White
11:43
Wow. Didn't know that. Some other areas have different views of the stinkin' media obviously.
4A Football
11:43
Mike, got to see West Mifflin on Friday against Knoch, do you think they have any chance of being a Wild Card team, played a brutal non conference schedule
Mike White
11:43
Yes, West Mifflin has a chance. Pretty decent chance.
11:44
But getting back to USC basketball. There was some thought of the Panthers representing the US in the Olympics this summer. But USA Basketball decided to go with the NBA guys instead.
Coach
11:44
How far do you think South Allegheny football team can go in the playoffs?
Mike White
11:45
Well, I think 2A is not real strong, as far as depth of quality teams. So they might be able to win a game or two. Interesting game against Steel Valley this Friday.

11:45
Who do you think the best team is in 5A?
Mike White
11:46
Either USC or Pine.
March Madness
11:46
How would Imani not be #1 seed in 3A if they win this week?
Mike White
11:46
They probably will. But what if Avonworth beats Beaver by a good margin. Imani also beat Beaver. Avonworth played tough schedule. Only losses to TJ and Aliquippa. Avonworth is pretty darn good, too.
JP
11:46
Will the championship games be on tv or streaming?
Mike White
11:47
I think KDKA Plus TV

Who is the best QB in the WPIAL this year? And where is he going to college next year?
Mike White
11:49
I don't think you can point to one as the best. Some good ones, but there is not one QB who has committed to FBS school. That says enough.

Mike, Montour won a great game but the Quips offensive play calling in the 4th was horrible.  They should have run the ball more to take time off the clock.  My alma mater prevailed with class!   Your comments.
Mike White
11:49
Honestly I didn't see the game.
Pippa
11:49
North Allegheny will out-coach Central in playoffs. A prediction if you will
Mike White
11:49
NA will play Central in the finals.

Do you know if Liam Flaherty will return this season for North Allegheny?   NA got it done when they had to against Pine.   Brinkley showed the ability to take it to the house with an 80 yard td in the 4th quarter.  I think the game with Central Catholic is a toss up should they meet again. What do you think?
