Senior Nelson Westwood nets career high 20 in QV upset win.
Senior Nelson Westwood saved a great performance for last on Saturday and Quaker Valley boys basketball is headed to the WPIAL Final Four. Westwood, who all season filled the role of QV’s top defender and assist leader, played the role of go-to scorer. He poured in a career-high 20 points in addition to an overall great floor game to lead QV in the 62-61 upset victory. “We knew we were going to get our chances, and luckily we took advantage when the opportunities arose,” Westwood said. But #3 seed Seton La Salle did not go without a fight. Quaker Valley clung to a one point lead with 16 seconds on the clock on Saturday afternoon at North Hills High School, and Seton La Salle had possession of the ball. SLS Junior Point guard Dale …

The 20-4 Quaker Valley Boys Basketball Team will have a home playoff game at 7 p.m. tonight at the QV High School Gymnasium against Chestnut Ridge High School. After a disappointing one-point loss in the WPIAL quarterfinals to Sto-Rox, the Quakers earned a bid in the PIAA playoffs when Beaver Falls won the WPIAL Championship on Saturday. Head Coach Mike Mastroianni is excited and believes that the Quakers have the tools to make a run. "I've said all year that this is a state playoff caliber team. Now we get a chance to prove it," he said. The Quakers are led by Senior Steven Emch at 12.4 points per game, but offer a evenly balanced approach with five players averaging between 9 and 12 points per game. Junior Burke Moser leads the …

The team remains in control of their playoff hopes with three upcoming section games.
Quaker Valley girls basketball coach Jim Dudas spoke in raspy tones following a 65-48 Section 6-AA road loss to Avonworth Thursday night. Dudas almost lost his voice while directing his team’s defensive and offensive strategy from the sidelines while the Quakers took their shot against one of the top teams in the WPIAL. “I was extremely pleased with the way our girls competed,” Dudas said. “They really got after it. “ Avonworth just has the better team right now,” he said. “But we’ll get better.” The Quakers moved to fourth place in section play at 6-3 and 10-6 overall. Don’t count the Quakers out. They remained in control of their playoff hopes with three upcoming section games against South Side Beaver on Thursday, Our Lady of Sacred …

If you’re living in Pittsburgh right now, the concept of wishing to see more black and gold, or feeling deprived of company swathed in Terrible Towels might seem strange. But for Sarah Crawshaw, a former Pittsburgher living in Charleston, SC, and other members of the Pittsburgh Diaspora, playoff season comes with more than a touch of nostalgia. Raised on the North Side in a family of die-hard fans famous for their resplendent tailgate parties, Crawshaw admits that sometimes she finds herself grading papers between plays when she watches games now. It's harder to get her Southern friends interested in the action. “My parents have had season tickets to Steelers games for 40 years. So tailgates are literally like homecoming for me,” Crawshaw …

Nobody messes with Steelers Nation ... even fellow Patch sites.
We at the Pittsburgh area Patch sites (all 12 of them) are pretty sure Ron Cassie is hanging his head in shame today. A local editor for the Dundalk Patch in Maryland, which is located right outside of Baltimore, Cassie yesterday wrote and posted a list of 10 reasons to hate the Steelers. And, after our team’s 31-24 victory over the dirty birds Saturday, we have one thing to say to him … Stairway to Seven, baby! Yeah! Ahem, but back to his list. Cassie’s first and second reasons for hating on the Pittsburgh Steelers were team mascot Steely McBeam and team quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Eh, we can understand having no love for Steely. I don’t know too many 'burghers who enjoy him. As for Roethlisberger, I’ll just say that he’s a damn good …
