U.S. News' annual high school rankings are out, and Baldwin High School didn't make the list.
Baldwin High School is unranked in U.S. News & World Report's annual rankings of America's best high schools released this week. The No. 1 high school in Pennsylvania is Julia R. Masterman Laboratory and Demonstration School in Philadelphia. Nearby Upper St. Clair High School ranked No. 7 and Mt. Lebanon High School ranked No. 11. Schools are evaluated based on overall student performance on state tests, Advanced Placement (AP) tests and International Baccalaureate exams. Rankings also take into account how well schools educate black, Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students, according to a release from the publication. The rankings are designed to capture how well high schools educate all of their students and prepare them for …

The Highlanders move on to face North Allegheny on Tuesday.

Baldwin High School didn't look like the lower seed. The Highlanders, forced to play Greater Latrobe High School in a WPIAL AAAA championships play-in game on Tuesday night, dominated the higher-seeded Wildcats at both ends of the floor to move on the tournament's first round with a 54-39 win. Latrobe (9-14 overall) saved its best for first by jumping out to a 4-0 lead in this neutral-site game at Penn-Trafford High School. But Baldwin's size, speed and superior shooting took over immediately, and the Highlanders (11-11 overall) finished the first quarter on a 19-6 run. "That was maybe…

The Highlanders (10-11) will play the Wildcats (9-13) at Penn-Trafford High School this Friday at 6:30 p.m.
(Bracket available in media gallery, below the picture.) The WPIAL officially invited Baldwin High School's varsity girls basketball team on Tuesday night to its 2013 AAAA championships tournament—sort of. Baldwin (10-11 overall), which finished its 2012-13 regular season with an upset of third-ranked AAAA team Bethel Park High School, 46-38, on Friday night, will have to play Greater Latrobe High School (9-13 overall) this Friday in a play-in, or "pigtail" game, in order to reach the first round of the tournament. The Highlanders' win over Bethel Park put them into a fourth-place tie in AAAA's Section 4 and clinched one of the WPIAL's very final postseason berths. And despite playing in the ultra-competitive Section 4, which also includes…

Senior-less Baldwin controls its own destiny.
It's simple, really: Win, and they're in. That's the formula for the Baldwin High School girls basketball team, which has two section games left this season to earn a spot in the 2013 WPIAL playoffs. Should the Highlanders win both games, they're in the show—no matter what. But maybe that won't be so easy, especially when Baldwin's final two section opponents of the regular season—Mt. Lebanon (18-2 overall) and Bethel Park (17-2 overall) high schools—have a combined 35-4 record. But rest easy, Baldwin fans. The Highlanders could lose one or even both of those games and still make it to the postseason. After Baldwin's 66-44 win over Peters Township High School on Thursday night, Baldwin and Upper St. Clair high schools sit tied for the …

The Highlanders play in perhaps the WPIAL's toughest section.
"He loves the game more than anyone else." Those were the words of Head Coach Joseph Urmann when describing Baldwin High School junior Arnes Bajgora at a Baldwin High boys basketball practice on Monday night. But for Baldwin's varsity squad to have a shot at the playoffs this season, they'll need Bajgora to play the game better than most anyone else, too. Such is life for the 6-foot-6 forward, who will be counted on for a lot of the Highlanders' offense and defense this season, as he represents, really, the team's only varsity-ready size and physical presence. But Urmann has pointed to a few other players on the 2012-13 version of the Highlanders who will be there with Bajgora every step of the way, including senior point guard A.J. Greco…

There'll be plenty of challenges for Baldwin, but the team seems ready to adapt.
"Speed and defense." If Head Coach Gavin Prosser has been trying to drive something into the brains of his players this preseason, he's certainly getting that done. When asked to identify what might be the calling card of the 2012-13 Baldwin High School girls varsity basketball team, Prosser mentioned "speed and defense," and that was after two of his players answered the same question with the same three words. The Baldwin High girls have added a promising 6-foot freshman center—Carly Lutz—to their young roster this season, but the team will mostly have to rely on smaller players, most of whom have less scoring pedigree than three of the squad's leaders from a season ago. And all of three of those ladies have graduated. Gone from the …

Woodland Hills outgained Baldwin, 321-132, and led, 28-0, at halftime before holding on for a WPIAL AAAA Southeastern Conference victory that upped its record to 4-2 overall and 3-2 in…

The 22-year-old Dormont woman was killed in 1989 on her way home from a party in Mt. Lebanon—her mutilated body found in the backyard of a house on Voelkel Avenue near the light rail transit tracks.
Today, 23 years after her death, people in Dormont Borough are still talking about what happened to Catherine Corkery. The 22-year-old left a party in Mt. Lebanon at the Academy Avenue home of Sam Amado in the early morning of July 22, 1989, and headed home to the apartment that she shared with a boyfriend, Tim Rooney, on Ordinance Avenue. But she never made it. Somewhere along the light rail transit tracks where the "T" runs, Corkery met her attacker. She was just 5 feet 1 inch tall and weighed just 100 pounds. The attacker twisted a rope-like restraint around her throat and pulled her to the tracks, splitting her head open when it struck a rail, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported. In a 1997 story, the newspaper quoted Allegheny …

Highlanders drop their second in a row.

Full statistics (including play-by-play) are available in the media gallery above. The numbers don't always tell the whole story. This time, they do. Mt. Lebanon High School used a 479-210 advantage in total yards and an 18-9 nod in first downs to rout host Baldwin High School, 42-7, in a WPIAL AAAA Southeastern Conference football game on Friday night. Mt. Lebanon (3-1, 3-0) led from start to finish, and when the Highlanders (1-3, 1-3) started a drive with 2 minutes, 31 seconds left in the fourth quarter, a mercy rule went into effect to run the game clock and help expire…

Last-minute field goal trumps Highlanders' dramatic comeback.

Thank you to StatEasy for the YouTube videos of Baldwin highlights. Full statistics (including play-by-play) are available in the media gallery above. Not just once but twice during the last few minutes of Baldwin High School's Thursday night football game at Penn Hills High School, Baldwin's junior utilityman Luke Smorey was a hero. But in the end, it didn't matter, as a 28-yard field goal by Penn Hills' senior placekicker Peter Gula with 32 seconds left trumped a dramatic Highlanders comeback. As it is, Penn Hills (2-1, 2-1) gets a leg up over the Highlanders (1-2, 1-2) …

I agree with you disgusted, our district has gone to hell with Randy Lutz at the helm. It is time to rethink the entire leadership of this district. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. If we continue to allow the meek lead our district, that is the definition of insanity. We need a leader, not a coward! more ›
