Congratulations West Allegheny for winning the 2009 WPISL high school varsity championship by beating North Hills 9-4 in the quarter-finals and Shaler 9-5 in the semi-finals and North Allegheny in the championship 9-8. North Allegheny was leading 6-4 going into the 7th inning when West Allegheny scored five runs to take a 9-6 lead. North Allegheny rallied back strong and scored two runs in the bottom of the 7th inning. West Allegheny secured the win with a phenomenal play at the plate for the final out of the game.

West Allegheny participated for the first time in the slow pitch softball fall league, consisting of mostly class AAAA teams, that organizes by school district and is in it's 4th season of existance. WA had a varsity team consisting of 10th-12th graders consisting of mostly Oakdale players (10) as well as a few players from Findlay, McDonald (2), and North Fayette (2) that are students in the West Allegheny school district. The team was led by Manager Rick Bernardo who manages in Oakdale and is a board member. Next year we hope to facilitate the expansion of this program to a junior varsity and/or junior high teams.
