New Coach Wagner Optimistic for Baldwin Football

'It's an awesome district. I knew this was the place where I wanted to be and spend my career.' - Peter Wagner Jr.

Peter Wagner Jr. became the newest head coach of the Baldwin High School football program on Wednesday night, and if the Baldwin-Whitehall School Board's vote on his hiring is any indication, Wagner will—rightly or wrongly—have something to prove. Three board members voted against hiring Wagner—six voted for him—and that was after B-W School District administration recommended somebody else for the job. Coincidentally enough, that somebody else is somebody whom Wagner is very familiar with—Greg Perry, who was the head coach at Seton-La Salle Catholic High School in Mt. Lebanon for the past eight seasons and an assistant coach at Seton-La Salle for the 11 seasons prior to that, including the entirety of Wagner's high school playing career. …

Belma Nurkic Contributing to Stellar Duquesne Basketball Season

The Baldwin alumna has started all 20 games for the first-place Dukes.

Whitehall Borough's Belma Nurkic, a Baldwin High School product, is used to winning. The 5-foot-8 guard helped and often led the Baldwin girls basketball team to three WPIAL playoffs appearances in her four high school seasons, including two appearances in the state playoffs and a WPIAL runner-up campaign. Figures then that Nurkic has been a great fit at Duquesne University, where the now-sophomore has been big a part of the 2012-13 Dukes' 17-3 overall record, including a 6-0 mark in the Atlantic 10 Conference, good for a first-place tie. A season ago, Nurkic, on a basketball scholarship at Duquesne, saw action in every game for the Dukes—averaging 3.4 points—and helped them to a 20-12 mark and a berth in the Women's National Invitation …

Dorian Brown Earns Post-Gazette South Fab 22 Honor

Brown has committed to Ohio University.

Baldwin High School's senior running back Dorian Brown has been named to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's 2012 South Fabulous 22 football team. Despite missing a game with an injury and being limited by that same injury at other times, Brown, who has committed to play football at NCAA Division I Ohio University this coming fall, rushed for 1,059 yards and 12 touchdowns this season on 143 carries. His 7.4 yards per rush in 2012 is an even better mark than his 6.1-yard average in 2011, the year that he earned WPXI's Player of the Year award.  --- Follow the Baldwin-Whitehall Patch on Facebook and Twitter.

Should Penn State Have Removed the Bronze Statue of Joe Paterno?

Take our poll and let us know whether you agree with the decision to remove the statue honoring the legendary late coach—in the wake of the Sandusky scandal and Freeh report.

Once one of the most revered coaches in the NCAA, the legendary Joe Paterno was honored on Penn State's campus about a decade ago with a bronze statue that's become a landmark. But in the wake of the Sandusky scandal and the subsequent Freeh report, Penn State removed the statue at dawn on Sunday. Fox News reported earlier this week that some Penn State students had begun a vigil to protect the statue from vandalism. CNN reported that a small plane flew around the Penn State campus on Tuesday carrying a banner that read, "Take the Statue Down or We Will." Other tributes to the much-honored former coach have begun to fall. This week, Paterno's alma mater, Brown University, removed his name from its annual award to the outstanding male …
