Another state has suspended high school sports competitions because of the swine flu.
The Alabama High School Athletic Association ordered all sports be stopped until Tuesday after the discovery of likely swine flu cases in Huntsville, Ala. The Alabama state track and field championships were scheduled for Friday and Saturday, but have been postponed.
On Wednesday, Texas postponed all high schools sports competitions until May 11 because of swine flu cases.
Queens of the boys' game
Two sisters are one win away from winning the WPIAL Class AA boys' doubles tennis championship.
Karli and Tanya Timko of Chartiers-Houston won two matches today to move into tomorrow's championship match, scheduled for 2:30 p.m. at North Allegheny.
The Timkos were the No. 1 seed for the tournament and received a first-round bye. In the quarterfinals, the Timkos crushed Matt Greiner and Tyler Spain of Blackhawk, 10-2. In the semifinals, the Timkos defeated Sewickley Academy's Alex Chang and Bobby O'Donnell, 7-5, 6-1.
In the championship, the Timkos will play Thomas Jefferson's Tin Chu and Drew Gallatin.
If the Timkos win, it won't be the first time a girl has won a WPIAL boys' tennis championship. Three years ago, Quaker Valley's Annie Houghton won the WPIAL Class AA singles title.
The Timko girls come from an extremely athletic family. Their mother, Shari, was an All-American gymnast at West Virginia and is in the WVU sports hall of fame. Their aunt is Mary Lou Retton. She is Shari's sister and the 1984 Olympics gold medalist in the gymnastics all-around competition. The Timkos' grandfather is Ronnie Retton, captian of West Virginia University's 1959 NCAA runner-up basketball team that also featured Jerry West.
The Timkos' father, Mike, was a quarterback at West Virginia in the mid 1980s. And the Timkos' older sister, Jaci, is a former softball standout at Char-Houston who is having a big freshman year on the Robert Morris softball team.

The WPIAL boys' tennis doubles championships are today at tomorrow. The No. 1 seed for the Class AA boys' tournament is a team of sisters.
That's right. Two girls are the No. 1 seed. Karli and Tanya Timko of Chartiers-Houston won a section title last week and received a first-round bye in the WPIAL tournament today. The tournament will go through the semifinals today, and the championship will be tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 at North Allegheny.
If the Timkos win, it won't be the first time a girl has won a WPIAL boys' tennis championship. Three years ago, Quaker Valley's Annie Houghton won the WPIAL Class AA singles title.

All high school sports competitions in the state of Texas have been postponed until May 11 because of the swine flu outbreak.
The move suspends the baseball and softball seasons and eliminates the regional track championships that were to start Friday.
Believe it or not, a similar thing happened here in Western Pennsylvania a long time ago. It was because of of an outbreak of influenza.
The year was 1918 and the WPIAL did not play a football championship that year because of an influenza outbreak.
Charles Breithaupt, executive director of the Texas University Interscholastic League (Texas’ version of the PIAA) said league officials acted today on the recommendation of public health officials. The regional track champoinships were canceled altogether. To make up for that, the state track meet was extended from two to three days (May 14-16).
School officials in Texas say 53,000 students are out of school due to concern over the swine flu virus, and dozens of schools were closed to be sanitized. With 16 confirmed cases of swine flue in Texas, Gov. Rick Perry announced a disaster declaration Wednesday for the entire state. The declaration will allow officials to begin emergency protective measures and seek reimbursement from the federal government.

A sign of the times? A high school pitcher in Florida is going for his fifth consecutive no-hitter this afternoon and ESPN News will give a pitch-by-pitch update on the game.
Patrick Schuster of Mitchell High in Florida has thrown four conescutive no-hitters and pitches this afternoon in a regional playof game at 4 p.m. Schuster has 60 strikeouts in those four no-hitters. He is a University of Florida recruit.
I don't care who the competition has been, throwing four no-hitters in a row is unthinkable.
WPIAL FOOTBALL SURVEY NEWS
The most startling news from a recent survey of WPIAL schools is that most of them believe the WPIAL should pull out of the PIAA football playoffs if the PIAA goes to six classes in 2010.
But we have more results from that WPIAL survey.
The survey was given to schools to see how they feel about the PIAA's six-class proposal and a few other subjects. The six-class idea has passed two votes and needs to pass only one more next month before being instituted in the 2010 season. The PIAA also wants to shorten football season from 16 weeks to 15 weeks to stop some of the overlap into winter sports.
The survey was given to 96 of the WPIAL's 123 football-playing schools that attended one of two recent informational meetings concerning the six-class proposal. Eighty-nine of those 96 schools returned the survey. The results showed:
* 92 percent of the schools opposed the six classification idea.
* 75 percent of the schools favor keeping the current WPIAL playoff format with four classifications and pulling out of the PIAA playoffs, if the six class proposal passes.
* If the six-class proposal is defeated, 71 percent of the responding schools favor an attempt to negotiate a continuance of the current 16-week season.
* 72 percent of schools have indicated the Aug. 17th starting date for fall sports practices this year creates problems with the school year. (This hasn't been discussed much in the media but the starting date this year is late because the PIAA anchors its calendar around Labor Day, which is Sept. 7 this year. Thus, the late starting date for fall sports practices. Even though Labor Day is later, some schools in the WPIAL will still start school around Aug. 23 or 25. Teaches must report a few days before that for in-service days. Many coaches are teachers, so that means they might get only six or seven days for two-a-day football practices. Usually, they get nine or 10.)
* 87 percent of schools prefer an earlier starting date for fall sports practices as a potential solution to season overlap.
* 90 percent of the schools believe the WPIAL should not participate in the PIAA boys' team golf tournament because they view it as unfair. The PIAA has only one classification for boys' golf, despite more than 500 schools around the state having the sport.

A WPIAL boys' basketball player made a verbal commitment to a Division I college over the weekend.
Hempfield High School's Nate Perry, a 6-foot-3, 185-pound shooting guard, committed to Coastal Carolina near Myrle Beach, S.C. Coastal Carolina plays in the Big South Conference agaist the likes of Radford, Winthrop, College of Charleston and VMI.
Perry is the second junior from the WPIAL who has committed to a Division I school. The other is Chartiers Valley's T.J. McConnell, who is headed to Duquesne. Perry will sign with Coastal Carolina during the NCAA's week-long early signing period in November.
Coastal Carolina is coached by Cliff Ellis, who previously coached Auburn, Clemson and South Alabama. Ellis, 63, led Auburn and Clemson to NCAA Sweet 16 appearances.
"I really like Coach Ellis. He's my type of coach," Perry said. "I figured I would just get this out of the way before my senior year. They have a new arena coming in down there [at Coastal Carolina] and I think they're really a team on the rise and one to watch in that conference."
Perry committed while making an unofficial visit to the school this past weekend. He also visited Elon last week.
"I could've maybe waited to try and get something on a higher level," said Perry. "But I want to go somewhere that I have a chance to play. Coach Ellis told me if I work hard, I have a chance to play as a freshman. I just want to be able to play. I'll be a four-year starter at Hempfield, so I'm used to playing. I wouldn't want to go to a bigger school and have them recruit over me and I don't play."
Perry was the third-leading scorer in the WPIAL this past season and finished with a 25.7 average. He is an excllent 3-point shooter and had 35 points in a WPIAL Class AAAA first-round playoff loss to Central Catholic. Bucknell also offered a scholarship.
Perry worked out with some Coastal Carolina players while on his visit.
"I can shoot with them," Perry said. "They're pretty athletic. Next year will be Coach Ellis' third year and he's trying to get players to fit his system."
Droney to visit Davidson
Sewickley Academy junior guard Tom Droney plans to visit Davidson this week. Davidson is one of Droney's finalists.
Roundball thoughts
Here are some notes and thoughts on the Roundball Classic, played Saturday night at Geneva College. The event included many of the top high school seniors in Western Pennsylvania. In boys' games, the Class AAAA All-Stars beat AAA, 133-132, and Class AA beat Class A, 138-120. In the girls' game, the Black All-Stars beat the Gold, 91-90.
* One of the most impressive players in the practice and the games was Plum's Andrew Cressler. He certainly wasn't shy to shoot, but many of the players in the game had a quick trigger finger and pretty much ignored defense. But Cressler could get his shot off just about any time he wanted. He's 6 feet 4 and has excellent leaping ability. He has a nice mid-range jumper and is very athletic. He was the AAAA MVP after scoring 22 points, but he also won the 3-point shooting contest at halftime, making 12 of 16 3-pointers.
Cressler said he will attend Fork Union Military Academy. He's hoping he will attract some Division I colleges.
* Perry's Vaughn Morgan is definitely the most explosive player in the area. If they would've had a dunk competition, he definitely would've won. His college future is up in the air (no pun intended). He was the AAA MVP with 16 points.
* Jeff Yunetz, a Post-Gazette Fabulous Five pick, should have a nice career at West Liberty (Division II). West Liberty led NCAA Division II in scoring this season and the team likes the 3-point shot. Yunetz can really shoot the 3. He had 24 points for the Class AAAA team.
* No doubt McKeesport's Zeke Marshall has the most potential of any player in the Roundball. He's 7 feet. He still has a ways to go offensively, but his shotblocking ability is tremendous. He had to have a triple double with points, rebounds and blocks. One of the best parts of the game was the first few minutes when Morgan was doing some damage on the inside, but Marshall also kept blocking his shot.
Marshall is headed to Akron. He turned down scholarship offers from a few ACC, Atlantic 10 and Big East schools. But I think he might have made the right choice. Players in the Mid-American Conference aren't exactly slouches. If Marshall adds more weight, muscle and improves offensively, he could have a nice career. Of course, he also needs to have the work ethic to improve.
* Bethel Park's James Barton, who is headed to Division II Limestone College (S.C.) had a great second half with five 3-pointers.
* Franklin Regional's Nick Novak, who led the WPIAL in scoring this season, is still one of the best scores I've seen in the WPIAL in recent years who doesn't shoot 3-pointers. He had 16 points.
* Central Catholic guard Lucas Mickens said he will most likely attend Kiski School in Saltsburg for a year. Mickens said his brother, Ben, also might attend Kiski next year. Ben, a 6-4 forward, saw some varsity playing time last year as a freshman. Kiski School is trying to upgrade its basketball program and has been trying to recruit some WPIAL players. It is not illegal because Kiski School is not in the WPIAL or PIAA. But WPIAL coaches are not too happy about it.
* I did not see the AA - A game, but Farrell's Marsell Holden must have been something to watch. He scored 32. He became Farrell's all-time leading scorer this year.
* Beaver Falls' Todd Thomas, a Pitt football recruit, said he's closer to being academically eligible for his freshman year with the Panthers, but there is still a decent chance he will attend a prep school.
* I'm not just saying this because my son, Sean, played in the AAAA - AAA game. But it was a well-run event and Roundball director Allen Deep has worked hard and definitely turned this into the premiere all-star event in Western Pennsylvania now. The banquet the night before was a nice touch.
* We here at the Post-Gazette might have made a mistake in not putting Westinghouse girls' player Shalonda Winton on the Fabulous Five. That's not a knock on the five girls who made it, but I thought Winton was the best all-around player in the girls' game. She's long, versatile and athletic. Cleveland State might have a steal with Winton.

Aaron Donald
Pitt landed its first WPIAL recruit from the class of 2010 yesterday when Penn Hills' Aaron Donald made a verbal commitment to the Panthers.
Donald is one of the best defensive linemen in Western Pennsylvania. He was a member of the Post-Gazette Fabulous 22 as a junior. Gateway coach Terry Smith said last year Donald was by far the most dominating defensive lineman his team played in the 2008 season.
Donald is 6 feet, 260 pounds and was recruited to play defensive tackle. His other scholarship offers so far were from Rutgers, Toledo and Akron. Donald's brother, Archie, is a linebacker at Toledo. Aaron said he chose Pitt because, "I felt like I liked the way Pitt's defense is run because it's not too different than what we do at Penn Hills. I just liked everything about Pitt."
Donald said he runs the 40-yard dash in 4.9 seconds and he is one of three Penn Hills players who have been offered scholarships by Pitt. The others are receiver-defensive back Brandon Ifill and defensive back Cullen Christian. Ifill and Christian have more scholarship offers than Donald. When asked if Pitt has a chance at landing Ifill and Christian, Donald said, "I asked them and they said they were going to wait to make a decision."
Donald is Pitt's second recruit overall. The other is running back Derrick Burns of Wilmington.

Can anyone remember the last player from a Western Pennsylvania high school to play football at USC? I can't.
But the Trojans will have a former Western Pennsylvania player next year.
Brice Schwab played at Moniteau High School. Moniteau is not in the WPIAL, but it is in Western Pennsylvania, near Butler. Schwab, an offensive lineman, graduated from Moniteau last June, moved to San Diego and enrolled at Palomar Community College, a junior college in San Marcos, Calif. Schwab played for Palomar this season and ended up with a number of Division I scholarships. USC offered and Schwab recently made a verbal commitment to the Trojans. He will have three years of eligibility.
Schwab is 6-8, 320 pounds and also had scholarship offers from Arkansas, Florida State, Arizona and Washington, among others.
Roundball Classic Saturday
Most of the best basketball players in the WPIAL and City League will play in the Roundball Classic Saturday at Geneva College. This game has nothing to do with the defunct Dapper Dan Roundball Classic that used to play at the Civic Arena. But Allen Deep, who organizes this Roundball, has tried to make this a big event and it is now viewed as the top all-star game in the area. DeJuan Blair played it in a few years ago and Deep says Blair's presence helped the Roundball's reputation immensely. This year, Deep has just about every top player - boys and girls. About the only big name from the WPIAL or City League not in it is Schenley girls' player Markel Walker. She couldn't play because she had already played in two national all-star games and, under NCAA rules, high school players can play in only two all-star games.
Deep had played one boys' and one girls' all-star game in previous years. This year, he changed to two boys' games and one girls' game. The girls' game begins at 4 p.m. The first boys' game at 6 p.m. matches the Class AAAA All-Stars against Class AAA. The second boys' game pits the Class AA All-Stars against Class A. Tickets can be bought at the door the night of the games.
Some small-college coaches were on hand at Roundball practices Wednesday night and will also be at the game. One of the most impressive players at the practices was Plum guard-forward Andrew Cressler. He has not decided on a college yet, but might attend a prep school.
Here are the rosters for each of the three Roundball games. A banquet honoring the players and coaches will be tomorrow night.

You get reminded of it from time to time, and today was another example of how someone can use sports to affect so many people.
Don Graham, the winningest coach in Pennsylvania high school boys' basketball history, died Saturday of pancreatic cancer at age 83. He had an 801-436 record in 51 seasons as North Catholic's coach. Attending his viewing this afternoon showed how many people this man touched. Although he was also an athletic director and teacher, Graham impacted people mostly as a coach.
"We've had people come here who we don't know and didn't even know him personally," said Graham's daughter, Maureen Carroll. "One family said they came just because they knew about him. One family came and said they had a son who went to North Catholic, didn't play any sports, but just came because they knew he was a good man. It's just been amazing."
Graham won a lot of games in his time and obviously was an excellent coach, but the biggest thing Graham had was respect - from seemingly everyone. Often when someone dies people say "you won't find someone who had a bad word to say about him." It might be true with Graham. In the guestbook were signatures of North Catholic graduates from many decades in the past. There was a signature from a man who wrote "Oliver 1943." Graham also graduated from Oliver in 1943.
I remember watching Graham in his latter years of coaching, when he didn't seem to coach as much. Everyone still respected him, though, and he got out of coaching before he ended up a coach in name only.
I knew Don Graham since my days of playing basketball at St. Sebastian Grade School in the mid 1970s. Every year, at the end of the season, North Catholic would run a tournament that was simply known as the "TAA." I think it stood for Trojans Athletic Association, although I'm not sure of that. It was always a big event on North Catholic's "stage." They played on a court that was in an auditorium setting. I always remember how Graham would sit in this space above the court, almost like a little porch, looking over some possible future North Catholic players. It was a little intimidating.
My father coached at St. Sebastian and was a friend of Graham's. Many adults called Graham by his nickname, "Red." I called him "Mr. Graham." To this day, I called him "Mr. Graham." Even when dealing with him as a sports writer, I called him "Mr. Graham". To me, the guy deserved too much respect to call him "Don." And just for the record, did you know that Graham coached Kobe Bryant in the McDonald's All-American Game in the late 1990s?
For some reason, in the first few years after Graham retired, I would run into him often - at a game, or even at a mall. I always enjoyed the little chats we had, even if they were for only five or 10 minutes. My, how proud he was of his grandsons - Matt and Pat Carroll. He'd talk about them a lot. Matt now plays with the NBA's Dallas Mavericks and Pat plays professionally overseas. Matt's mom said the Mavericks let her son fly in to attend tonight's viewing. The Mavericks are in a playoff series with the Portland Trail Blazers.
Matt lived in Wexford through eighth grade and attended St. Alphonsus. But because of his father's job, Matt and his family moved to the Philadelphia area before ninth grade. Don Graham would always joke with me how he could've won championships with Matt. He was probably right.
Graham coached over 1,000 high school games. He had many big wins. But one stands out in my mind - even though it wasn't a championship game. It showed how he could somehow find a way to win, no matter what he had to do. It was 1976 and Valley had a powerful team, led by high-scoring guard B.B. Flenory and strong center Benjie Pryor. This was one of North Catholic's first years in the WPIAL and Valley came to North Catholic's "stage" for a game. I still remember some of North Catholic's players - Jerry Koch and Kevin "From Heaven" Brennan. Brennan got that nickname as a kid and it stuck.
Graham's team played a slowdown and the Trojans upset Valley. The score was either in the high 20s or low 30s. That was a Don Graham classic.
Dick Black, who coached Mt. Lebanon from 1960-97, was at the viewing today. Maybe he said it best.
"They don't make them like [Graham] any more," Black said. "Guys like me had it easy, coaching at a suburban school. Someone like him, coaching at a Catholic school, it was a lot different. He had to do everything there.
"Don Graham and Norm Frey [former Peabody coach who died last summer]. Those were two of the best ever. Two of the best people, too."
Well put, Mr. Black.

After seeing the PIAA football playoff brackets under a proposed six classification system, there is only one word to descire the Class A bracket:
Ridiculous.
Get this: Under the PIAA's plan, there will be no "true" WPIAL Class A champion. And that's just one of the reasons the WPIAL is against the idea. The six class system has passed two votes. It needs to pass only one more (by two-thirds majority) in May before becoming reality - in football only - in 2010.
Here is how the PIAA has set up part of the Class A bracket in the west. The WPIAL will take 12 teams to the playoffs. However, eight of those teams will play in the WPIAL playoffs. The four other teams will play in a different part of the bracket with four teams from District 5.
After the four WPIAL and four District 5 teams get a winner, they will play the winner of the WPIAL. That game will be a PIAA quarterfinal. Confusing, isn't it?
Well get this: The PIAA bracket says the four WPIAL teams that will play against District 5 will be the WPIAL's No. 2, 5, 6 and 11 seeds. Now how in the heck is the WPIAL supposed to decide what teams those will be? You can bet the four teams picked to play against District 5 will not be happy.
This is just another example of the problems six classifications will present to the WPIAL.
My prediction is that the six classifications will not pass the third reading next month. However, I do believe the PIAA will try to come up with a system that shortens football season from 16 to 15 weeks. That would present another problem to the WPIAL next season.
Stay tuned to this saga.

Mike White | Thursday, April 16, 4:20 p.m.
There has been a lot of talk and debate the past few weeks about the PIAA's proposal of going to six classifications in football only. The idea has passed two votes by the PIAA Board of Control and must pass one more (by a two-thirds majority) in May. If it passes, six classes will become a reality i n2010. The WPIAL is against the idea. Currently, there are four classes for football in the state.
If you'd like to know where WPIAL schools would fit under the six class system, look below to see the answer. Numbers next to each school are enrollment figures for boys i ngrades 9-11 from two years ago. Those are the grades the the PIAA uses to determine classifications every two years. Keep in mind that schools can play "up" in class if they desire. Also, keep in mind enrollment figures will be taken again in October and could change a school's classification in 2010. This is just to give you an idea of where WPIAL schools would fall.
