Not All Happy with Pennsylvania's Proposal to Expand Football Playoffs to Six Classes
by Jeff Fisher
The High School Football Huddle
Pennsylvania is one affirmative vote in May away from expanding the high school football post-season to six classification from its present four classes. However, not all schools in the state are happy with the proposal to add two classes.
The most vocal voices against expansion are coming from the western part of the state where WPIAL officials plan to meet twice next week to discuss the plans put forth by the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association. The PIAA is the state's governing body.

WPIAL (PA) Championships Preview
By Jeff Fisher
The High School Football Huddle
I said it before, but with all due respect to other states, it's really hard to disagree that one of the toughest championships to win in high school football is a WPIAL title. Saturday, the 100 year old western Pennsylvania league will crown its four champs. Last year three (Pittsburgh Central Catholic, Thomas Jefferson and Jeannette) out of the state's four state champs came out of the WPIAL. Out of the three, only TJ is back to defend its title.
Thomas Jefferson will take on Blackhawk for the AAA at 5 o'clock.
The Cougars are coached by Joe Hamilton, who will be making his 11th WPIAL championship appearance. Hamilton brings a 4-6 record in title games into the contest. Hamilton, who's spent 43 years as a head football coach in the WPIAL is only one of two WPIAL coaches to win over 300-games in a career...the other Jim Render of Upper St. Clair.
Here's a look at tomorrow's quadruple-header at Pittsburgh's Heinz Field. Click on the games for previews from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

A Story That Transcends Football
By Jeff Fisher
The High School Football Huddle
Last week I talked about how disgusted I was when I read that the NY Times ran another story about former Hoover (AL) High head coach Rush Propst, who continues to receive publicity even though his track record seems to only fit into his "me-me" philosophy. So with that in mind, The High School Football Huddle is trying to find our readers the "good" stories.
Today, I found a great story about Avonworth (PA) running back Khiry Watts, who has helped his team to the WPIAL semfinals Friday night against Monaca. The story appears in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and focuses on Watts, who was adopted by Eric and Diane Templin as a freshman. Click here to read the story, and if you know of a great story that Huddle readers should know about, please feel free to email them to me at jeff@blitzgroupllc.com.
Enjoy,

By Jeff Fisher
The High School Football Huddle

The WPIAL takes center stage out west with some of the best teams in the state ready to take one of the toughest trips to the state title games in Hershey in December. The WPIAL champ wins a spot in the state semifinals.
In the latest Patriot-News high school football rankings, three WPIAL teams are ranked #1 going into the post-season. Gateway, which ranked #3 by USA Today, is the top dog in AAAA, while Thomas Jefferson is #1 in Class AAA and Beaver Falls is ranked #1 in AA. Steelton-Highspire in Harrisburg is #1 team in the state's small classification.

#4 Gateway Faces McKeesport in Western PA Showdown Thursday
By Jeff Fisher
The High School Football Huddle
The Gateway Gators haven't really been challenged this year on the way to an 8-0 start. That should all change Friday night when the Gators (8-1) face McKeesport (7-1) in the WPIAL regular season finale.
Gateway (#4 USA Today Super 25) has won its game by an average of over 38 points, and has scored over 50 points twice, while topping the 40 point mark in seven of its eight games. It's closest game came two weeks ago when it beat Erie McDowell 30-18. McKeesport lost its season opener 14-7 in overtime to Colerain (OH), which had been nationally-ranked until it lost its first game two weeks ago.

McKeesport and Woodland Hills Comes Close, But Not Close Enough in Herbstreit Battles
By Jeff Fisher
The High School Football Huddle
The Kirk Herbstreit Varsity Football Series was a good experience for the two Pennsylvania schools that took part, but both McKeesport and Woodland Hills know it could have been better!
McKeesport (0-1) lost in overtime to Cincinnati Colerain 14-7. Colerain (2-0) is the same team that beat nationally-ranked and defending Ohio Division 1 state champ St. Xavier last week.
Woodland Hills came within an extra point of sending its game with Justin Northwest (Texas) into overtime, but freshman kicker Sam Scifo hit the upright with 56 seconds to go in a 13-12 loss.
