OK the store is late to open. Let's go.

Hi Mike. OK.. who wins BV or TJ? And why?

Mike White

11:12

I'll go TJ. Although a Belle Vernon win would not surprise. I saw the first meeting. TJ won the stats game, but that always doesn't mean win. I think they win this time

White Mike

11:12

How many times do u think you have tweeted about Phil?

Mike White

Mike, do you really think that Washington/Steel Valley is such a sure thing in Class AA? CWNC and Riverside both playing very well right now.

Mike White

11:13

A sure thing? No. I think Steel Valley is close to sure. I'm not totally sold on Washington, though.

Panther MBA

11:13

Any insight into possible candidates for the Ringgold Head Football coaching position?

Mike White

11:13

No idea. Maybe Joe Montana.

Stan Kachowski

11:13

Mike can you offer any insight as to how the neutral sites are chosen? A lot of them make sense, some of them seem to be totally random.

Mike White

11:15

There is more involved than just picking a spot in between. Other factors go in. And if the Pine vs. NA game at Ambridge seems odd, you should know this. Not totally sure of this, but a little birdie landed on my window today and said there was at least one logical place that turned down hosting the game. Not all places want to host games.

How about those SF Lions avoids playing New Castle, this will be a easy win against Montour once again can't wait to see us beat the mighty TJ in the title game

Mike White

11:15

You're the most confident James I know.

Pitt Alum

11:16

I attended the New Castle-Montour game, what a great comeback they have some athletes if they could put it all together they could knock off South Fayette

Mike White

11:18

That was one impressive comeback by Montour. I agree. This isn't exactly Alabama playing McNeese State. Montour has some players. But it would be pretty big upset if Montour won. Just look at what happened two weeks ago at Montour

HeyMike

11:18

Hearing Weathers is out. Cephas is in. Along with Hardy and Major. Should Central be on upset alert

Mike White

11:19

Yes, Central should wear an alert bracelet that goes off if it's close in the fourth quarter.

Rick

11:19

What do you think will happen to Clairton today? How many players will be suspended? Do you have the status of their QB?

Mike White

11:20

You never know what WPIAL might do but I question whether anything else will happen. Two kids were tossed. Unless film shows other kids threw punches I don't know what else can be done.

WPIAL Basketball

11:20

I heard there's a transfer going to CV from Canada 6-8 center

Mike White

11:20

I do not know.

Kevin Price

11:21

do you know which WPIAL games will be aired on tv this week?

Mike White

11:23

Good to hear from you Kevin Price. You are a former P-G Athlete of the Year. Pine vs. NA will be on AT&T SportsNet after the Penguin game. Xfinity On Demand will do the TJ-Belle Vernon game can be seen next day.

Old Quad North

11:23

Is there any issue between P-R and NA's football teams? I've not read or seen anything where the NA football team is involved in any of this? Just the band and their AD.

Mike White

11:25

NA football team is not involved at all. They were in locker room during Flag Day festivities. Issue is Pine team and the band.

Ram tough

11:25

What are your thoughts on all the extra activities at clariton football games

Mike White

11:25

There was the fight a few years ago in state final, but other issues have dealt with coach Wayne Wade and his comments.

Old Quad North

11:26

To the other game, any news on if Khalil Whethers or Josh Trautman will be available to play for PCC. I've been a PH doubter but this is a huge opportunity.

Mike White

11:26

I have no news on players. But Penn Hills' passing game needs to do a lot better than the last time if PH is to have a chance. It was 21-0 Central two weeks ago and PH offense struggled.

Kevin Price

11:26

Is Baldwin stadium big enough for the massive crowd friday night?

Mike White

11:27

Baldwin stadium is pretty big. Good facility. Do you have another suggestion of somewhere better?

11:27

Imani or OLSH ?

Mike White

11:29

I've said OLSH is sleeper team in Class A. But if you make me pick, I'll take Imani. But I would not be surprised at all with an OLSH win.

Kevin Price

11:29

Is Devin Danielson from TJ better than Aaron Donald was senior year?

Mike White

11:30

I've seen Devin once this year. I saw him a few times last year and made the comment that he is the best DLinemen in WPIAL since Aaron Donald. Does not mean he's better than Aaron Donald. Donald was absurd as a senior.

White Mike

11:30

U didn’t mention him yet in but did get a Pr Mention in within first few comments 😂.

Mike White

11:30

And ...

AFan

11:30

Who do you like to make it to the 5A final? Both good matchups....

Mike White

11:30

McKeesport vs. Penn-Trafford.
