Good morning. Fresh off upset Friday in football. Albert Gallatin beating West Mifflin  I still say is one of biggest upsets in years in WPIAL. Well let's get started.

no one picked Mars over Montour, don't sleep on the planets we play hard and win
Mike White
11:03
You want The Fumbler's job? .... Mars did prove something. Big win for them. But really, Mars always is highly competitive under Scott Heinauer. Very underrated coach. So that win isn't all that shocking. ...

New Castle will win out Hooker is on fire
Mike White
11:03
Win out??? So they will win the WPIAL, you say???  Wow. That's saying a lot. Defense hasn't been very impressive.
Bethel Park fan

How good is Bethel football? Lot of young players stepping up in last 3 games
Mike White
11:04
Well Bethel Park fan, obviously they are pretty good. That running game, behind that line, has been impressive. But how good?? Well Pine-Richland is coming to town.

Who is Montour QB really like that kid plays solid on both sides of the ball
Mike White
11:06
Kavon Morman. Yep, good player. In three games, 400 yards passing and 9 yards a carry rushing. Yes, I'd say he's one good Morman.

is Bethel under rated and lack of fe
Mike White
11:08
Underrated? C'mon. They are ranked No. 3 in 6A. Hardly think that's underrated. You want them No. 1? Simple. Beat Pine-Richland this week.

Does PR finally get challenged this week by Bethel Park?  PR defense seems vulnerable although the addition of Byrnes seems very positive(especially on special teams).  Bethel seems like the one team that could give them a game--especially on the road
Mike White
11:10
Sure Bethel Park can challenge Pine. Bethel would love to chew up the clock and have its running game going to keep that No. 15 QB off the field. Don't underrate Pine defense. They're pretty decent. Here's the thing. To beat Pine, I think a WPIAL team is going to have score in the 30s. I don't see that happening this week.

Keep any eye on two soph linebackers shoemaker and Beatty. Junior MLB Burkes studs tackling machines

You bet.

Could bethel possible upset PR this week? They've played very well and have ran the ball good, could they keep phil off the field and play good enough defense?
Mike White
11:11
We just talked about that. Yes they could upset Pine. Will they? No.

name a few top punters and kickers in class 6A and 5A
Mike White
11:13
I have no clue as to who best punters are around. As for kickers, Moon's Nick Morrow, Latrobe's Nate Clair and Fox Chapel's Andrew Jeffrey lead WPIAL with five field goals each. Gotta like Morrow. He's like 6-2, 225 and wears No. 72 - and kicks.

TO the person who suggested New Castle might win out...  They have Mars and South Fayette in back to back weeks and Ringgold too. They might be lucky to make playoffs. Knoch seems decent this year also.
Mike White
11:14
You said it all. New Castle hasn't exactly been overwhelming, especially on defense.
Golden Ram

What do you think Highlands chances are against Mars this weekend?
Mike White
11:15
All depends on Highlands defense and if that QB Seth Cohen can throw the ball all over the lot again for Highlands. He threw for 412 against that New Castle team that someone claims will win out. Should be good game.

Quaker Valley vs Central Valley. Any news on Cv's qb?
Mike White
11:18
Bobcat4Lyfe, I don't know anything. You're talking about Nico Battisti. I didn't know he was hurt. He ran for more than 100 and threw for more than 100 last week. ... Quaker Valley and Central Valley will be our Game of the Week this week. How bout that?? Quaker Valley in our game of the week. Don't know if that's ever happened before. As fro Central Valley, I'm coming Friday Mastrangelo Hill!!!!!!!

Really shocked at the California v. Imani result last weekend.  Very impressive win for Cal...I guess we will see how impressive once Imani plays Jeannette and Claritin.
Mike White
11:20
Yes and no. California must be pretty decent. I'd love to see this 265-pound RB Jelani Stafford play for Cal. 265 pound RB in Class A??? Imagine the damage he can do. But I will not be getting Christmas cards from Cal or Imani this year, I don't think. I ripped their coaches last week for running up scores. Oh well.

Plum beating Franklin Regional an even bigger upset than Albert Gallatin?
Mike White
11:22
No. No way. Are you kidding me? Albert Gallatin has been horrible. BIggest tomato can in WPIAL since 2000. They had won 23 games coming into this year since 2000. West Mifflin was our No. 3-ranked team in 4A. It's shocking. But maybe coach Shawn Liotta has AG competitive this year. They did OK against Ringgold and Belle Vernon also. Too bad all that good feeling won't last through this week. AG at Thomas Jefferson Friday. Ouch.

What about California? Can a Tri-County south team really Win
Mike White
11:24
The much-maligned Tri-County South. And rightly so. Conference hasn't done anything in playoffs for years, although Frazier did make semis a few years ago. Cal must be pretty decent. They play Rochester near end of season. That will be interesting.

4a has 4 way tie for second place, who do u think will make the playoffs?
Mike White
11:26
You're talking about Northwest Nine.  I say Highlands will not make it.
Bethel Park fan
11:26
Thoughts on seton? RB is a beast can they win out?
Mike White
11:27
Obviously he's good. But c'mon, man. Win out?? Chill.

Who's the better BUS in the WPIAL? "Hop on the Guss Bus, Gus" Ricky Guss or "Bus Jr." Jelani Stafford at California?
Mike White
11:27
I'm on the "Guss Bus" bandwagon, although I think they lose this week. Jelani Stafford as B
11:28
Oops I meant Jelani Stafford as "Bus Jr?" I like it.
11:29
Of course Clairton has a chance. Everyone has a chance. But if you made me pick right now, I'd make Quips 16-point favorite right now.
Wike Mhite
11:29
Lots of hype around Clairton v. Quip all of last year.  Given Clairton's results thus far and what they lost do you think they stand much of a chance?
