The 2026 high school football season is underway. Trinity scored twice in the final four minutes of the first half and rolled past Ringgold, beating the Rams for a 10th straight time. Canon-McMillan shut down defending WPIAL champion Peters Township in Mike Evans return to the CM sideline. McGuffey (20) and Burgettstown (8) snapped long losing streaks with Week 1 wins. Wash High beat Steel Valley, snapping a four-game skid against the Ironmen. Avella, Beth-Center, California and Fort Cherry won at home. Carmichaels’ win at Leechburg marked the debut of new head coach Ken Perkins.
