Each week the Times’ sports staff will give their picks on each of the matchups involving a team in our coverage area. This week, teams from the Beaver Valley will take to the gridiron for some football action in the WPIAL in Week 0.
Be sure to follow along throughout the year to see which of our “experts” can pick the most winners! Here are the five brave souls posting their picks:
Josh Carney: Pennsylvania/Ohio Sports Content Coach and former Beaver County Times sports reporter. Had a tough introduction to Beaver County football when his Highlands Rams fell to a Blackhawk team led by Zack Hayward in the 2008 WPIAL playoffs.
Bill Allmann: Entering his 35th year covering WPIAL athletics for the Beaver County Times. From Darrelle Revis to Rushel Shell, Bill has seen it all, and then some!
Joe Sager: Like Bill, Joe has been around the block a few times, contributing to the Times’ sports coverage since 2013. While his reporting is always air tight, Sager isn’t afraid to get wild with the picks and predict a few upsets.
Ethan Morrison: After spending the 2022 sports season working behind the scenes learning the ropes, Ethan has worked his way into the starting lineup for the Times. Ethan is a recent graduate of Robert Morris University.
Rachael Kriger: The Hopewell native is back for a second year with the Times. Previously, Kriger wrote for Last Word on Soccer, Equalizer Soccer, and MLS Multiplex, while also serving as the Vice President of North American Soccer Reporters.
