high school football rankings
1. Woodland Hills: If anybody in the area is able to plug holes from departed seniors, it’s the Wolverines. Division I recruits Lafayette Pitts (RB/DB, headed to Pitt next year), Ejuan Price (LB), and Quinton Jefferson (DE) headline a stellar senior class, and junior linebacker Mike Caprara is on the fast track to join the blue-chip ranks. With such a strong returning core and despite questions of who will replace departed quarterback John Yezovich, the top spot belongs to the former champs until someone knocks them off.
2. Central Catholic: There are a lot of elements that make the Vikings an instant contender: size, speed, experience and overall talent. They have an exciting group of juniors in running back Damion Jones-Moore, receiver Anthony Nixon, and quarterback Perry Hills, among a handful of talented offensive linemen. Also keep an eye out for running back Arnell Farmer, who could join with Jones-Moore for a dynamic one-two punch in the backfield.
3. Bethel Park: The Black Hawks bring back only a handful of veterans from last season, but their seniors are as talented and experienced as they come. The running back pair of Nick Kwiatkoski and Bre Ford is as good as any in the WPIAL, and Max Bair is the anchor on the offensive line. Kwiatkoski will also be a key member of the defense at safety, the position he will play at West Virginia next fall. Head coach Jeff Metheny has built a strong foundation of success for the program with a 25-3 record and a WPIAL championship in the past two seasons.
