This has been building for three weeks. Seeding, revenge and pride are all on the line for Woodland Hills and Mt. Lebanon. The two Class AAAA titans will square off this Friday for the first time since the Blue Devils defeated the Wolverines in last season’s playoffs.

Playing in a conference that features powerhouses like Central Catholic and Upper St. Clair makes victories extremely hard to come by. When Peters Township and Shaler Area face off on Friday night, both teams are looking to boost their playoff resumes with a victory.

Friday night’s game could serve as the springboard to a successful season culminating in a playoff appearance. The contest also could be the straw that breaks the back of a talented, yet underwhelming squad.

Fox Chapel and Latrobe, young and inexperienced football teams this season, are still looking for a breakout week from any of their players. In two games this season, both teams have not scored more than seven points (25 points combined by both teams in two games).

The California Trojans are playing against more than just the Clairton Bears on Friday night. Brady Barbaro’s squad is also challenging a 49-game win streak, three top-flight WPIAL recruits and the PIAA’s reigning champion.

Although the two schools aren’t that far apart, Woodland Hills and McKeesport don’t play each other that often. The last time these two teams met was 2005 when both teams met in the WPIAL championship game at Heinz Field where McKeesport came out victorious.

Just saying the Clairton Bears have a significant winning streak doesn’t justify how good the Bears’ varsity football team is. Clairton has absolutely decimated the rest of the WPIAL in the last three seasons, and they don’t look to do anything different in 2012.

Maybe you have heard of Pete Antimarino. He is the WPIAL football legend who guided Gateway to 236 wins, 17 conference championships and five undefeated seasons. For 32 years he marched the Gators into battle.
