WPIAL High School Football Predictions: Playoffs Edition

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

From the frigid cold along the banks of Lake Erie, we bring you another post season! 

Freshman arrive wide-eyed with dreams of future glory, while seniors prepare for their last chance at immortality. 

There are a few of these opportunities in a young man's life, a handful of chances to distinguish yourself from the rest. 

It is on these fields where history is made, where legends begin, and where hero's triumph. Traditions tell the story of what you represent, of those who forge the legacy you uphold. 

When you come charging out of that locker room, everyone will be watching your every move-- how you respond to that pressure is what defines you. 

These are the moments that reveal your toughness, determination and pride. 

The time has come-- another shot at WPIAL gold! The Highway to Heinz, or just another construction zone on 376....

Last week, PToThePowerOf2 posed a record of 8-2, thus finalizing the 2019 regular season total to 89 victories and only suffering 21 defeats, 80.90% overall for the regular season.
