WPIAL Football Playoff Predictions

Read Time:1 Minute, 55 Second

It’s November here in Western Pennsylvania, and with Pitt football and the Pittsburgh Steelers flowing deep into their seasons, high school football is headed for the playoffs, where six classifications will be vying for WPIAL Championship glory, and a berth in the PIAA State playoffs in December.

Each week up until the state finals, Mike Drakulich, who covers Pitt football and the Pittsburgh Steelers for NGSC Sports (@PghSportsNation) will predict the winners of each round.

Feel free to “beat the expert” and leave your comments on who you think will win weekly!

Last week was good, not great, for yours truly, going 19-10 in the first round of the WPIAL playoffs.

Can’t complain too much, as I didn’t expect so many teams to go to another squad’s home field and pull off so many wins in one week.

I don’t see that trend continuing this week, as most of the top seeds are ranked that high for a reason.

It feels like September was just a few weeks ago, yet here we are, just outside of two weekends from the WPIAL Championships on November 26th and 27th. Catch you next week to see who will be favored to win the 6A title and the teams headed to Heinz Field.

All games are played on Friday, November 11th, at 7:00 PM.
