Overtime

BILL NEAL

:10—You already know by now that the Dice had its final roll of the season last week as they fell to a talented, determined and revengeful Pine-Richland team by a score of 58-47. I was unable to make the game so I don’t have all the details, but questions are being asked as to why emerging star guard Jahi Ogbonna didn’t start the game, especially after coming off such a great performance against North Hills in the previous game. Stay tuned. I’ll get ya some answers. That being said, congratulations to the Taylor Allderdice squad for a great season. The best to the seniors as they go on to college and continue their student athlete careers.

:09—You can mark your calendars now for the 4th Annual Pittsburgh City League High School All-Sports Hall of Fame Inductions. The very strong, almost definite, more than likely tentative scheduled date is set for Saturday, Oct. 21. #1 – The first three years standing room only sell-out crowd should tell you all you need to know about getting ready. #2 – Now is your time to nominate the best of the best to be inducted. #3 – Call or text 412-628-4856 your top male or female City League legend for consideration.

:08—And I’m still telling ya to go see “Get Out.” I’ve seen it twice and might go again. I’m trying to tell ya! But you don’t want to listen.
:07—The only thing that super star D-back hasn’t done is go to the Rooney office and say sign me up! He’s all but said playing here would be a dream come true. C’mon Steelers, do something I want sometimes.
:06—I’m sure I don’t have to tell you this, but I guess you know that New England has re-booted as if they lost the Super Bowl. Remind you of anybody? Yep, the ‘70 Steelers. Drafting the best talent and throwing waves of it at ya!
:05—Speaking of them, I’m still waiting for you to give me a better line-up than this one…D-line: Joe Greene, Dwight White, L.C. Greenwood, Ernie Holmes. Linebackers:  Jack Ham, Jack Lambert, Robin Cole. D-backs: Mel Blount (The Rule Changer), J.T. Thomas, Mike Wagner and Donny Shell. C’mon man, four rings, count ‘em!
:04—Ya’ll know Kevin Cameron right…you know “The Professional’s Professional.”
Well, we’re at his fabulous house shooting pool the other night…what? None of your business where he lives. Just listen. Anyway, yours truly made it to the semi-finals of the single elimination home grown tournament, but that’s not the story. Ya’ll know I got stick! The story here is a tip of the hat to the Aliquippa native for reeling in that steel town competitive edge and conceding a questionable call to his partner Terrence Brown for the championship. Now that’s how a host should roll and the wings were good too…what?
:03—If you just woke up and you’re trying to hold onto that lie that your bracket is still good, Villanova is good and Louisville just bit the dust. See-ya!!!
:02—Sid the Kid Crosby has a natural hat trick, now only second to Mario. And he’s not done with Jagr, the ageless wonder, and the desperate Florida boys. (You didn’t know I knew that stuff huh?…Me neither, but if you write long enough, it just flows.
:01—Look, I can’t say a lot here because I have to do some background work the Savoy/Courier brotherhood, but know this, Friday, March 24th is the who’s who black tie affair and you don’t want to miss it. And starting Friday, March 31st and every Friday, we’ll be “Stompin at the Savoy” 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. – Dress to Impress – $10 cover – cash bar – cash kitchen – slim menu – valet & street parking – “D.J.
