You're move, PIAA.
Someone has to make a firm call and own it. This ping-ponging of authority needs to end today.

- Tearful day in Jeannette. Tre Cunningham killed in motorcycle accident last night. He was a gifted, 3-sport star. Two-time WPIAL champion, PIAA champ. Terrific pitcher. MVP kid. Trib athlete of year AND basketball player of year 2018. Junior at La Roche. @Jhawkathletics
- Truly grateful to be returning to the Trib after a month-long furlough. No live sports right now but you'll still have plenty to read again in the interim -- and thereafter. All hope needs is a reason. Normal will come knocking. Give it time. @TribSports @TribLiveHSSN
- Terrelle Pryor bought the Jeannette boys basketball team new kicks for the playoffs. Pryor promised the Jayhawks shoes if they won a section title. Mission accomplished. Nike Paul George IVs all around. @Jhawkathletics @jeannettecsd @TribLiveHSSN @TerrellePryor
- How about Norwin athletic director Brandon Rapp? Was in Hershey today for PIAA wrestling. Now he's here at Hollidaysburg for girls basketball. He's going back to Hershey tonight. Many ADs don't get enough credit for showing faces at non-home events. @norwinathletics @TribLiveHSSN
- Sending out deepest condolences to the family and friends of Dom Giallonardo, and the Mt. Pleasant community. 🙏 He was a prize fighter. He'll always be an inspiration. He'll always be The Comeback Kid. Rest in peace. @VikingNation_MP @TribLiveHSSN tribhssn.triblive.com/inspiring-mt-p…
- WPIAL coaching community has lost a good one. Rich Bowen dies after battle with cancer. Former head football coach at Hempfield, Serra Catholic, Elizabeth Forward, Yough. Was current assistant at Greensburg Salem. One of the most genuine men in the game--of football and life.
- Jeannette will honor late 3-sport athlete Tre Cunningham at Friday night’s opener with helmet decals with his No. 6. Team also will carry out his jersey when they take the field. @jeannettecsd @Jhawkathletics @TribLiveHSSN
- Ty Bilinsky update: The Norwin senior is out of surgery. There was no hole in his heart. Doctors still trying to determine what caused his stroke. Could be related to lungs. He will go home today to rest. @NorwinBoys @norwinathletics @TBilinsky @TribLiveHSSN #TyStrong
- A look at the new marble bench memorial at Penn-Trafford for late baseball star Maclean Maund, who would have been a freshman at Seton Hill. A reverent tribute. Very nice touch courtesy of P-T SAAD fundraiser. @PTWarriors @SHGriffBaseball @TribLiveHSSN
- Sad news out of Murrysville. Former Franklin Regional football player Joe Purdue has died after an 8-month battle with brain cancer. He was 19. Joe took the diagnosis in stride last July. "I am letting God take the wheel on this one.” Condolences to his family & friends.Replying to @BillBecknerStory from earlier, following his diagnosis: #JoeStrong @FRPantherSports @_FR_Football @MurrysvilleStar tribhssn.triblive.com/recently-gradu…
