The biggest schools in western Pennsylvania face off to see who is crowned the king. Four teams with a heavy history enter, and one only comes out. Some of the best football players in the country are competing for a shot at states. The number 1 seed in the bracket is Pittsburgh Central Catholic. The Vikings are an absolute powerhouse. With 12 Division 1 commits, they fill every spot. Players like Jimmy Kalis—an offensive tackle committed to Ohio State, Jon Sassic— a center committed to Penn State, James Halter — a guard committed to Notre Dame, Zach Gleason— a cornerback committed to West Virginia, and Roman Thompson— an inside linebacker committed to Miami, Ohio— make up the unstoppable senior class. Central is undefeated and extremely dominant, having beaten North Allegheny, Canon Mac, and Hempfield all by more than 40 points without letting up a single score. They are ranked 18th in the nation. Whoever takes them on in the championship will be David against Goliath, for they are the team to beat. The former state champions, Central Catholic has a target on their back. Fans are curious to see if anyone can take it from them.The number 2 seed is Canon Mac. Ohio State commit Luke Sohyda leads the charge for the Big Macs. At 6 foot 4, 250lbs, Sohyda poses a huge threat for defenses at the tight end spot. He also leads the team in sacks on the other side of the ball. Canon Mac is 5-5, beating North Allegheny 23-13 in early October. Canon Mac finds strength in the run game. They use it to exploit teams with a weak front. Running back Bryce Collins ran right over the Tiger defense. These teams will soon face off again in round one, which should be the game to watch.North Allegheny takes the 3 seed. After the Tigers started off 0-3, many thought the season was down the drain. But after a mid to late season push, they have found themselves 4-2 in section, with defeats to Canon Mac and Central Catholic. First team all-section players like quarterback Brady Brinkley, defensive lineman Aiden Urschler, and outside linebacker/wide receiver Mason Brown have been absolutely balling out. The defense is definitely the Tigers’ strong suit. Led by defensive coordinator Doug Brinkley, they shut down teams and give the NA offense momentum. NA has turned their season around and intends to exact revenge on Canon Mac.Lastly, the 4 seed, Hempfield, will appear for the first time back in the playoffs in over a decade. Running back Andrew Bentz and quarterback Carden Lippmann lead the squad. Hempfield is a great underdog and is not to be taken lightly. The Spartans are not normally known for being a good football school, but this year they believe they are different. However, Hempfield will have to take on Central Catholic. Despite it being a very tall task, the team has nothing to lose going into the game. No one expects them to win, but situations like these are how Cinderella stories are born.</div></body>
