Welcome to the game, Duquesne Basketball.

From: The Penguins and LeBron James

THE STRIKE ISN'T OVER. Without informing any of the other units, the Teamsters stabbed us in the backs and negotiated a buyout to benefit themselves. Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh 🗞 members are still working for a fair contract for us and the other units that remain on strike.

Rob Niederberger has resigned after nine seasons as Shaler's boys basketball coach. Guided the Titans to the playoffs each of his final six seasons, and this past season helped them go 25-4 and reach the WPIAL semifinals for only the third time in school history.

There are a handful of incredible softball players in Western PA, but there’s only one Lexie Hames.

Hear from the Clemson recruit after she twirled what may have been the finest gem of her career, firing a no-hitter with 18 Ks in a 2-0 win over reigning WPIAL champion Hempfield:

⛽️ Straight gas from the reigning Pittsburgh Union Progress 📰 Player of the Year ⛽️

Clemson recruit Lexie Hames now has six strikeouts through two innings after this whiff, stranding a runner on second and keeping the game scoreless heading into the bottom of the second:

Made the trip out to Harmony to catch Act One of what many expect to be a three-part series between WPIAL Class 6A front-runners Hempfield and Seneca Valley. The Spartans beat Lexie Hames and the Raiders in last year’s WPIAL final, while Seneca won the 2022 crown.

Should be fun:

Purdue senior Ethan Morton has entered the transfer portal, per source. Started 29 games for the Boilermakers in the 2022-23 season, saw a diminished role this past campaign.

🔥🔥🔥. Guess we’ll have to dress up some this year 👀

Former Peters Township standout Journey Thompson is now in the transfer portal. She played the last two seasons at Arizona State.

Proud of our girl Makenna for competing in the college All-Star game! 🌟

Can’t wait to see what’s next for #20.

I would expect there will be a ton of interest in the Oakland Catholic job. Assuming there’s no major player movement, the Eagles could have one of the best teams in the state next season.
