Mike White |10:15 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 30

Did you know Thomas Jefferson, Rochester and Pittsburgh Central Catholic are second, third and fourth in the state in wins since 2000.

That's the kind of information you get from the Pennsylvania Football News website. www.pafootballnews.com. Rich Vetock and Tom Eiling do a tremendous job with the site. Part of the site is where Mike Hull keeps track of what Pennsylvania teams have the best records since the start of the 2000 season (through last week). Here is the top 25 in terms of victories, with WPIAL and City League teams in bold type.  Districts are in parentheses next to each team.

DeCicco to visit Wisconsin

Thomas Jefferson football player Brock DeCicco will visit Wisconsin next weekend for the Penn State game. DeCicco is ranked among the best tight ends in the eastern part of the country. Pitt is still hot after DeCicco and his final decision most likely will come down to Pitt and Wisconsin.
