WPIAL High School Football Predictions: Preseason Rankings and Champion Picks

Each week from the start of the WPIAL season through the PIAA State Finals, Pittsburgh SportsNation brings you the best, uncensored, no holds barred predictions by our local high school football guru who goes by the moniker “P To The Power of 2”.

He is one of our underground writers who covers the hard hitting action of WPIAL High School Football in Western Pennsylvania. Love him , or hate him, he simply tells it like it is... Or is it she? Either way, we'll never tell! (Unless you have a crisp $100 bill in hand)


By P To The Power of 2

Welcome back! The 2019 season is upon us this upcoming weekend! 

Last year, PToThePowerOf2 posted a 6-0 sweep of the PIAA State Final.  The final 2018 season total to 156 victories and only 38 defeats. That's 80%!

We here at PTothePowerOf2 will bring you our normal snippets for our games of the week and our selections as normal. 

With that, we'll give you our Preseason Top 5 for each classification in the commonwealth this upcoming season. Also, we will include our Preseason selections for PIAA & WPIAL Champions.
