11 teams from District 6 advanced in the first round out of a possible 14. Again, I think that speaks to the quality of basketball here and how it stacks up everywhere. Also, Northern Bedford won in A, and not surprisingly Berlin also moved in AA out of D5. In A, I expect Bishop Guilfoyle and Bishop...

For the local teams, the boys did not match the production as the girls did in the first round. District 5 entered the state playoffs with 7 teams spread across three classes, but only Turkeyfoot Valley, the Class-A champs made it through to the second round. District 6 produced only four winners ou...

Boys AAAAA Tuesday 6-1 Greater Johnstown (25-1) vs. 7-6 Greater Latrobe (21-6) at Pitt-Johnstown 7:00 AAA Saturday 6-1 Forest Hills (24-2) vs. 7-3 Mohawk (20-3) at Gateway HS 7:00 6-2 Bishop Guilfoyle (23-4) vs. 7-1 South Allegheny (24-3) at Armstrong HS 7:30 AA Saturday 6-2 Northern Cambria (19-7)...

The girls basketball here locally can stack up pretty well with any part of the state. There is a reason Bellwood, Berlin, BG, Bishop McCort, Homer Center, Juniata Valley, North Star, River Valley, Marion Center, and Westmont have all made it to Hershey in the past 10 years. I think the Heritage is ...

5A Johnstown is a tough case. I think they are capable of winning a few games in this tournament, but Moon could also beat them tonight. Tisinger and Robinson are a tough combo and they did play some WPIAL teams this year and beat all of them. Five of Moon's losses were to Montour and Chartiers Vall...

Boys AAAAA Friday 7-7 Moon (19-7) at 6-1 Greater Johnstown (24-1) 7:00 AAAA Friday 6-1 Central (19-4) vs. 7-4 Beaver Area (19-6) at Hollidaybsurg HS 7:00 AAA Saturday 7-7 Keystone Oaks (18-8) at 6-1 Forest Hills (23-2) 3:00 7-4 Bishop Canevin (15-11) at 6-2 Bishop Guilfoyle (22-4) 5:00 6-3 Westmont...

Couple good ones tonight (Wednesday) Johnstown at Westmont and BG at Hollidaysburg. For the LHAC... Looks like the East will come down to four teams: BG (8-0), Hollidaysburg (9-1), Central (6-2), and Tyrone (6-2). West seems like it'll be between Johnstown (10-0), Forest Hills (9-1), and Westmont (7...

Those CC teams were pretty good and I don't think they did much four corners. Jordan Miller and Mike Gowen were great HS players for around here.
