Tomorrow night's live blog will come from the Central Catholic-North Allegheny game in the WPIAL Class AAAA quarterfinals. Look to the right of this blog for scores and updates via @PGVarsityXtra on Twitter.
Below are predictions for this week's WPIAL quarterfinals. Was 30-2 in WPIAL first-round games last week, but got the City League championship game wrong. Record of 30-3 (.909 percentagte) brings season record to 116-23 (.834 pct.).
CLASS AAAA
Woodland Hills vs. Bethel Park - This game was moved from Baldwin to West Mifflin because of some problems 
with the lights at Baldwin. Bethel Park gave Woodland Hills a good game early in the season. Look for the same in this one, but look for the same outcome, unless Bethel Park's run defense is exceptional and can slow Jo-El Shaw (pictured) and Miles Sanders. Winner: Woodland Hills.
North Allegheny vs. Central Catholic - This is Root Sports television's game of the week and can be seen after the Penguins game tomorrow night. Can North Allegheny topple Central Catholic twice in one season? I say no. Winner: Central Catholic.
Penn-Trafford vs. McKeesport - Penn-Trafford beat McKeesport earlier this season, but McKeesport QB Tymar Sutton wasn't 100 percent. Even so, Penn-Trafford does well against McKeesport's flexbone offense. Winner: Penn-Trafford.
Pine-Richland vs. Mt. Lebanon - Will we see the Mt. Lebanon team that almost beat Woodland Hills? Or the one that struggled a little against some inferior opponents? Winner: Pine-Richland.
CLASS AAA
Central Valley vs. Hampton - The tough Talbots have overcome a slew of injuries to make the quarterfinals. But Central Valley just has too much for the Talbots. Winner: Central Valley.
Mars vs. Ringgold - Lot of trouble picking this game. Keep going back and forth with the team I like. The key is Ringgold's run defense against Mars' Isaiah Johnson (pictured). Winner: Mars.
Belle Vernon vs. Franklin Regional - This is the Comcast Game of the Week with Chris Shovlin and Ellis Cannon. The game can be seen "On Demand" starting Saturday. Belle Vernon is demanding a spot in the semifinals for the first time in 15 years. Winner: Belle Vernon.
West Allegheny vs. Thomas Jefferson - Remember a few weeks ago when seemingly everyone, including myself, was saying Class AAA was West Allegheny - and then everybody else. After losing to Central Valley in Week 9, and then having a so-so performance in the first half against Hollidaysburg, what are we to think of West Allegheny? I still say they could win it all. It's not an overstatement to say two of the best coaches in the history of the WPIAL are meeting in this game - Bob Palko and Bill Cherpak. Winner: West Allegheny
CLASS AA
South Fayette vs. Beaver - Beaver needs another tremendous performance from QB Darius Wise to be in this game. South Fayette's defense will be tested, but the winning streak will reach 43. Winner: South Fayette.
Beaver Falls vs. Steel Valley - This one might be the best matchup in Class AA. Steel Valley's only loss was to South Fayette. Steel Valley has as much speed as Beaver Falls. But Beaver Falls' size on the lines could be a difference. Winner: Beaver Falls.
Aliquippa vs. Seton-LaSalle - If Paris Ford makes some big plays again, Seton-LaSalle will be in the game. But there will be no keeping Aliquippa from a ninth consecutive semifinal appearance. Winner: Aliquippa.
Washington vs. Freeport - Freeport has a strong running game. Washington has a strong team overall. Winner: Washington.
CLASS A
Bishop Canevin vs. Cardinal Wuerl North Catholic - North Catholic defeated Bishop Canevin earlier this season. It will take a monumental effort by Bishop Canevin to win the second meeting. We all know first-year North Catholic coach Jason Gildon used to play at Heinz Field with the Steelers. He might find out what it's like to coach at Heinz in a few weeks. Winner: North Catholic.
Clairton vs. Avonworth - Avonworth has the WPIAL's leading passer in Zach Chandler (pictured), but Clairton's defensive backs are excellent. Plus, Avonworth will have its hands full with Clairton's offense. Clairton's Aaron Mathews is pushing for Class A player of the year. A win will put Clairton into the semifinals for the 10th consecutive season. Winner: Clairton.
Jeannette vs. Neshannock - Kareem Hall, Jeannette's leading rusher, did not play last week because of an injured ankle. Jeannette needs him. But even more important is how Jeannette will deal with Neshannock dual-threat QB Frank Antuono. No matter what happens in this game, a huge shoutout to the job Fred Mozzocio has done as Neshannock's coach. This was a bad program for years. Then Mozzocio took over and now the Lancers are one game away from a fourth consecutive semifinal appearance. Winner: Neshannock.
Frazier vs. Shenango - Frazier won a WPIAL playoff game last week for the first time since 1983. The Commodores led the entire WPIAL in scoring defense during the regular season, but you have to wonder after Frazier gave up 32 points to South Side Beaver last week. Shenango is better than South Side Beaver. Winner: Shenango.
