July 13th, 2024 is a day we will never forget. Corey Comperatore lost his life during an unthinkable act of violence. Corey was a fixture at the Lernerville Speedway in his hometown of Sarver, Pennsylvania. A former Buffalo Township Fire Chief, Corey was a member of the Lernerville Safety Crew for over 20 years. He could also be found selling the 50/50 at the speedway for the BTVFD.

Former Lernerville General Manager Gary Risch Jr said “Corey was a one of a kind hero. Awesome Dad, Husband and Friend. One of the best to have ever served his community! The memories are endless.”

Corey will forever be remembered as a hero who saved his wife and daughter.

There were many great moments last season across Pennsylvania, but there were also some very dark moments involving far too many severe injuries on the football field. As avid supporters of Karns City’s Mason Martin, the Slippery Rock Volunteer Fire Department decided to take action.

They have planned a training class called “Game Day Ready: Preparing EMS for Game Day Emergencies.” This educational opportunity will provide strategies for EMS crews to deliver effective sporting event standbys, along with hands-on, practical reviews. The program is approved for 2.0 hours of EMS CPC Continuing Education.

“With football season coming into full swing, we felt this class would be the perfect opportunity to get some great training for our crews and surrounding departments.” – SRVFD

To honor Mason Martin, the program proudly carries the acronym M.A.S.O.N. This class is free of charge and will provide continuing education credit. Please register using the QR code below. Link in the replies ⬇️

The scoreboard’s got a magic trick of its own today… it just keeps repeating the same Spell. ✨
TD – K. Spell
TD – K. Spell
TD – K. Spell

Sprinkle in an early field goal from Delaware Valley, and it is 21-3 at the end of the 1st quarter in favor of the McKeesport Tigers!

Where do you think Bryan Clauson would be in racing these days?

I think about this a few times a year, but watching a USAC race at Indy really fuels this thought again.

BREAKING: Sources tell us that Bishop Canevin, a perennial contender in Class 1A, intends to voluntarily move up to Class 2A for the 2026–2027 cycle.

The move would provide some relief to the Black Hills Conference, where Canevin has been locked in fierce battles for the top spot with Fort Cherry and Cornell in recent seasons.

Sources cite evolving dynamics in the college football recruiting landscape as a driving factor behind the decision. Feedback from Division II coaching contacts reportedly emphasized the importance of playing against larger programs to enhance player exposure and evaluation.

If the move is approved and current alignments hold, Bishop Canevin would likely join the Century Conference, placing them alongside Seton LaSalle, Keystone Oaks, Washington, Sto-Rox, Waynesburg, Carlynton, and Charleroi in league play.

The Crusaders have been a major force in 1A in recent years — how do you think they will respond to the challenges of 2A?

As we work our way through April, offseason training has begun at schools all around the WPIAL. It's time to take a look at the 2025 Preseason WPIAL Football Rankings. We will start in the 6A classification.

In 2024 we saw dominating regular seasons by Pittsburgh Central Catholic and North Allegheny. These two teams faced off in a tightly contested battle in Week 5 where PCC came out ahead on the scoreboard 27-14. As everyone expected, the two powerhouses once again matched up in the WPIAL Championship game where Pittsburgh Central Catholic flexed their muscles and put the game away early, ultimately winning 45-14 and went on to make a PIAA State Championship appearance where they were defeated by St. Joes Prep. 

With 2024 behind us, where do these teams stack up in 2025? Will there be a new contender at the top or will history repeat itself with PCC and NA continuing to dominate 6A? Lets dive in! All statistics referenced within this preview were researched via the Pittsburgh Post Gazette and are subject to the correctness of the same website.

Full rankings will be in the final post.

What a wild scene!

[The W.P.I.A.L. Edition @TheWPIALEdition]

“𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤”

A wild scene unfolded at Grace Christian Academy (Knoxville, TN) when a parent stormed out of the stands and tackled a referee after his daughter was fouled.

The ref—an 18-year-old college freshman—was thankfully okay. But get this: witnesses say the same parent later returned, demanding a refund on his ticket.

Behavior like this is exactly why there’s a referee shortage. Do better, people.
