WPIAL makes eligibility rulings after hearings. QB Anthony Smith ineligible for whole season after transferring from Southmoreland to Seton LaSalle. No hearing on this one but Josh Pratt ruled ineligible for postseason at Lincoln Park. @KBarnes_PG story: post-gazette.com/sports/highsch…

Great piece by former Chartiers Valley High star and Indiana Pacers guard T.J. McConnell in Players Tribune on how tough it was losing Game 7 — and don’t count these Pacers out just yet. I still say he’s one of most successful yinzers from the ‘Burgh. theplayerstribune.com/tj-mcconnell-n…

Montour basketball had 6-11 Ama Sow the past couple yrs. Sow is gone & a 7-footer has showed up at Montour, and will live with same family that took in Sow. 7-footer Loic Kalau still must be ruled eligible. Here's a little on him & few other transfers: post-gazette.com/sports/highsch…

PIAA approves on first reading basis use of shot clock in high school basketball. Good. But not until 2028-season. Not good. Should be 26-27. Just do it. So three more seasons without it.

Matt Speck used to draw a full-length football field — with hashes and emblems — on the street outside his house and play for hours. He quit his post-grad marketing job in three days to chase a dream. On the journey to achieving it, ⁦@PGSportsNow⁩: post-gazette.com/sports/steeler…

All-state softball teams released today. WPIAL well-represented. post-gazette.com/sports/hsother…

Let’s do it !!

Woodland Hills’ Scoop Smith announced this afternoon that he has committed to Miami, Ohio.

Beautiful, Karlo.

Don't know exactly the reasons for this, but this is puzzling, to say the least. Kyshawn Robinson of Westinghouse would've been one of the top football players in Western Pa. this year. Instead, he'll play at public high school in Miami. Story: post-gazette.com/sports/high-sc…

Just heard the report. Former WPIAL player in the NBA will be playing next to "Joker" next season. Cam Johnson, former player at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart, reportedly traded from Brooklyn Nets to Denver Nuggets.

A stunner! Latrobe ATH Andy Tatsch had committed to Lehigh! Tatsch had plenty of FBS offers but went the academic route! 👏👏👏

Lakers Family ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

Back in 1979, the Post-Gazette's Steve Hecht had the idea of selecting high school athletes of the year. The list of former winners shows how prestigious the award is. Heck, a player in this year's NBA Finals won AOY 15 yrs. ago. Check out the list: post-gazette.com/sports/hsother…

This King is the all-time queen of WPIAL swimmers. Introducing the Post-Gazette Girls High School Athlete of the Year - Lily King of Mount Pleasant. @KBarnes_PG has the story of one "golden" girl: post-gazette.com/sports/hsother…

One of the greatest honors for a Western Pa. high school athlete is the Post-Gazette Athlete of the Year. This year's winner stands only 5-5, but Woodland Hills' Scoop Smith @SmithScoop reached great heights in three sports. The scoop on Scoop: post-gazette.com/sports/high-sc…

The Tigers are at it again! Quite possibly the best recruiting program in the WPIAL, Princeton lands ANOTHER WPIAL star. Pittsburgh Central Catholic OL Matt Bowers has committed! WPIAL —-> IVY League 🔥🔥🔥

Here's a little on how Quaker Valley's Adou Thiero went from a 5-foot-10 high school sophomore to a 6-6 NBA draft pick. And did you know Quaker Valley can now boast 2 NBA draft picks? Keith Starr was selected in 4th round of 1976 draft by Chicago Bulls. post-gazette.com/sports/high-sc…

Since NBA went to 2-round draft in 1989, Quaker Valley's Adou Thiero (Arkansas) only 6th WPIAL-City League selected. Others: Sto-Rox Myron Brown 2nd 1991 Shaler's Dan Fortson 1st 1997 New Castle's David Young 2nd 2004 Schenley's DeJuan Blair 2nd 2009 OLSH's Cam Johnson 1st 2019.
