Highest-rated WPIAL girls basketball recruit (and second in the state) headed to Maryland. Averaged 23.1 points and 16.5 rebounds for Quaker Valley last season. Had over 50 offers.
Excited to announce my verbal commitment to the University of Maryland! Thank you to Power 24, SLAAM Basketball, and Prospects for giving me the opportunity to showcase my skills, and to all family and friends that have impacted me in my life and thus gotten me to where I am.🐢🐢

It's been documented how the number of power conference players from WPIAL has dropped considerably over past decade or so. But the number of WPIAL players in the NFL this year is way down, too. Not even a dozen. Crunching some WPIAL & NFL numbers: https://t.co/grea4lEI3s

Avonworth scores two defensive touchdowns in 15 seconds and this is a blowout. When does this happen to a Thomas Jefferson team? Trailing avonworth 41–14. Will they get mercy ruled?

What a stand from Mars. Aliquippa had 1st and goal from the 3, two tries from the goal line and couldn’t punch it in. Planets take over with just under a minute left in the third quarter.

Nice angle of Gabe Hein’s TD catch. Super impressive concentration. Aliquippa couldn’t score on its final drive of the half and Mars remains up 6-0.

“You got mossed” contender for Mars’ Gabe Hein. Less than a minute left in the half and Hein goes over an Aliquippa defender to snag a 44-yard TD. PAT blocked, 6-0 Planets with 32.6 seconds to go.

Scoreless first quarter for Mars and Aliquippa. Planets fumbled on the first play of their first possession, but Quips couldn’t capitalize. 33 total yards of offense combined so far.
