Written by Brad Everett on .

Brad Everett's recap of the girls' basketball WPIAL Class AAAA semifinals:

 

"It was one of those games some people might have described as lacking in beauty, but, for Chartiers Valley senior Mariah Wells, the outcome was all that and more.

"It's just like a piece of heaven," Wells said, grinning from ear to ear.

Wells scored a game-high 17 points and Chartiers Valley, which lost in the semifinals two of the past three seasons, advanced to its first WPIAL championship by defeating No. 1 seed and defending champion Mt. Lebanon, 31-27, in a Class AAAA semifinal Tuesday night at North Allegheny."

Loebig takes over as Char Valley football coach

Written by Joe Koch on .

Joe Koch's feature on new Chartiers Valley head football coach Niel Loebig:

"Niel Loebig knew all about the Chartiers Valley High School football team's reputation when he was a record-setting quarterback at South Fayette High at the junction of the 20th and 21st centuries.

"There's always been a great fan base there," said Loebig, who led Duquesne University to four successive MAAC championships from 2001-04 and was the only quarterback in Dukes history to throw for more than 2,000 yards and 20 touchdowns per season for four years in a row.

"Success and winning will help [generate fan support]," said Loebig, who comes to Chartiers Valley as coach after serving on coach Jerry Schmidt's staff at Duquesne from 2006 through '10 and again this past season after coaching for one season in 2011 at Lely High School in Naples, Fla."

Chartiers Valley boys' basketball team pours in the points

Written by Brad Everett on .

Chartiers Valley coach Tim McConnell’s teams are annually one of the most offensively-potent in the WPIAL, but what the Colts did in a recent two-game stretch was impressive for even their lofty standards.

Chartiers Valley (16-1) scored 100 and 104 points in back-to-back blowout wins against Keystone Oaks and Waynesburg. The 100-point outburst marked the first time the Colts had broken 100 points since defeating Bethel Park, 100-71, Jan. 11, 2011.
