Brad Everett's coverage of the Baldwin Invitational:
"On the same track just over a year ago, Clairton sprinter Vinny Moody was edged out in the final of the 100-meter dash by one-hundredth of a second by his cousin, Trenton Coles.
Friday, nobody could track down Moody, who earned his family some more gold.
Moody narrowly clipped a solid field to win the 100 at the Baldwin Invitational, one of the largest meets in the eastern United States."
A season ago, Clairton didn’t win its first game until April 13.
The Bears grabbed victory No. 1 more than a week earlier this season.
After suffering a pair of lopsided losses to begin the season, Clairton pounded visiting Wilkinsburg, 15-0, in fourth innings last Friday.

Clairton’s football success is known nationally, but what the Bears did on the basketball court this season was pretty impressive in itself.
The Bears (17-8) won the Class A Section 3 championship with a 10-0 record, finished as the WPIAL runner-up and advanced to the second round of the PIAA playoffs. The Bears played their final game last Tuesday, losing to Smethport, 37-35.
On this PIAA basketball playoffs first day, we bring you photos from some of 2012-13’s best teams.
The Bears lost the WPIAL championship to Vincentian. But Clairton had a triumphant win over Lincoln Park en route to the championship (click here to look back to the video).
