I saw your favorite player, Vinnie, Cugini, for a bit before the IUP game Sunday. He had a nice game and is averaging 14.8 at the moment...8.0 and 8.8 his first two seasons. He seems to find a way.   How was the Herring kid at IUP at Quaker?    He's a nice player at the PSAC level.

How soon do you think it will take Doug Biega to turn things around in hoops at Hopewell? A little different there than it is at Beaver Falls in terms of talent.
Mike White

Well Hopewell has a lot of kids back and 4A isn't real strong this year. I was trying to do 4A rankings and was having trouble coming up with five definite teams to rank. I would guess with so many back, they should be improved. They better be.

Do you think Ambridge's new coach can turn their hoops program around? Fallen on hard times recently

You're talking Daryn Freedman. Team was not too good. Only way to go is up.

It seemed like you really enjoyed broadcasting on Saturday and everyone really enjoyed your insights. Do you enjoy WPIAL football or basketball finals more?  Any chance you will be broadcasting any of the state games?

Well, being high school sports writer, you have to do all kinds of sports. WPIAL sports have been a big part of my life. They're fantastic. To me, I've always said WPIAL semifinals in basketball are the best thing of the year. Because nowadays it's in a gym. Many times it's packed. Electric atmosphere. Not always like that in football. Basketball is my favorite but doing football finals is great also. No, I will not be doing any of the state games. And thanks for the kind words.

Who’s a basketball team that’s flying under the radar that you can see making some noise? I feel like there are some teams with new coaches that might make an impact right away! Love this time of year!

Woodland Hills. Now that Scoop Smith says he is playing at least part of the season before going off to college at Miami Ohio for football.

Oh well. That's it. Off to a meeting about Fab 22 and then some of Mrs. White's great wedding soup. It will take my broth away. .... Woooo hooooo. I'll be here all week. Try the veal. Tip your waitresses.
Talk to you again next Tuesday at 11.
