WJPA Sports

High school football makes the turn and heads toward the regular season finish line as Week 8 is underway. The WJPA Sports Network will bring home the action from three important conference games tonight. Burgettstown looks to put a firm grasp on a 1A Black Hills playoff spot when the Blue Devils head to Brentwood, a game we’ll carry on WJPA-AM (1450) and online. Trinity plays Allegheny Six co-leaders in back-to-back weeks, starting tonight against unbeaten Upper St. Clair, our WJPA-FM (95.3) feature game. Canon-McMillan looks to solidify its playoff positioning, hosting Norwin. All three games will be available on the WJPA Sports Network. Pregame starts at 6:30 pm with kickoff at 7.

Peters Township is the defending WPIAL 5A champion but the Indians likely need to win out to even make this year’s tournament, starting at home tonight against co-leader West Allegheny.  Ringgold can all but clinch a playoff spot with a home win against Albert Gallatin. Waynesburg hopes to pick up all-time win #400 AND clinch a playoff spot, hosting Derry. Bentworth tries to keep pace with the Burgettstown / Brentwood winner, the Bearcats visiting Sto-Rox. Beth-Center hosts Frazier in a Tri-County South top 4 match-up.
