Shady Side Academy senior Alex Avi birdied three straight holes on the back nine at Oakmont to win the WPIAL Class 2A individual golf championship. He was 5-over 76 today and had a two-round total of 8-over 150. ⛳️🔥

What player are you excited to watch Vs Miami #Dolphins? I’ll start: Jaden Dugger I was so impressed with his NFL debut and the versatility he displayed. I honestly never expected him to get so much playing time, but he showed OUT for the #49ers.

Chris Graves (2027 | IF | Allderdice HS) showcasing his June highlights. Consistent defender with a line-drive approach at the plate. Graves continues to make plays in the infield while producing quality at-bats throughout the summer.

Winning was expected. Excellence was the standard. @BuddyValinsky led Allderdice to six straight City League championships and built one of Pennsylvania’s most respected high school basketball programs. My latest article on the legacy of a City League legend. Link in comments.

Radio great? ✔️ Restaurant owner? ✔️ Pro wrestler? ✔️ But Bubba Snyder’s biggest passion is baseball, & in his first season as head coach has guided South Fayette to the WPIAL playoffs. For @TribLiveHSSN, a feature on a baseball nut & one busy dude. ✏️ tinyurl.com/fxv6tkux

Congrats Dragons Boys Tennis team and Coach Keith Goldman. Coach would have just finished up his 21st consecutive City League but he chose to seek the highest level of competition in the WPIAL 14 years ago. Good luck at States Coach! tribhssn.triblive.com/allder…

The attempted murder of high school sports by the rich and ruthless continues. Last week, Sewickley Academy won a PIAA title with recruited athletes, not from another school district but another CONTINENT. Shame on the school and the state for allowing this. 1/2 #Pirates

When it comes to top WPIAL basketball coaches, Jordan Marks is a name that needs to be mentioned more. The Neighborhood Academy is in just its sixth year in the WPIAL, and Marks has the Bulldogs (54-4 the past two seasons) a win away from a second straight PIAA Class 1A title.

What an amazing last few weeks of the season. Our student section and parents crushed it these last 5 games. Thank you to everyone who supported @BoysDice and @DiceGirlsBball Rich O’Brien and our coaches for making it all happen. Thank you for an incredible 4 years.
A great 2 weeks in the Dragon’s Den, 5 PIAA Playoff games in PA’s largest classification. You wont get that kind of atmosphere anywhere else in Pittsburgh! The Biggest and loudest student section helping to bring home some big wins! @PpsSports @BoysDice @DiceGirlsBball

Allderdice hosts State College on Friday. With a win, the Dragons would qualify for the PIAA Class 6A playoffs and host Central Catholic in the first round. One of my favorite rivalries. Saw them play in states a few years ago and the atmosphere at Dice was electric. ⚡️
