2018 Week 13 (Pennsylvania)<\/strong><\/p>\n

There was just so much going on this weekend, that it’s hard to get it all written down. Especially on a short week. Many games across Pennsylvania and New York were postponed. Altoona went from hosting two games to hosting six games. District 9 couldn’t find anyone to host their games.<\/p>\n

Bradford was to host the 1A championship, while DuBois was to host the 2A championship. And Clarion was going to host Clearfield-Cathedral Prep. But the weather undid all those plans. Slippery Rock University suddenly were the hosts of the 4A matchup. While the 1A and 2A games remained in limbo throughout Friday and into Saturday.<\/p>\n

But, on Friday, District 7, aka the WPIAL, had two semifinals scheduled in 2A and 5A. Of the eight teams, I only had Peters Twp as a new team for me. But, the game was scheduled for Norwin. And my original plan was to just drive over to Slippery Rock for the Friday night contest.<\/p>\n

But, there also was a game between West Allegheny and Gateway at West Mifflin. Norwin and West Mifflin were both places I hadn’t seen a game before. So, I decided West Mifflin would be it.<\/p>\n

It would also by my 900th high school varsity game of all-time.<\/p>\n
