It wasn’t in the Pitt section of the on-line version, but the HS section of the Post-Gazette ran an article about Aliquippa HS star Darrelle Revis committing to Pitt – in football AND basketball. [The article also mentioned that Anthony Morelli will be eligible next year, as he passed his SAT’s in November. Revis has yet to do so, and may attend Valley Forge Military Academy next year before enrolling at Pitt.]
Revis, 6’0″ 175lb., normally WR/DB (occaisional QB and KR) had a monster game in Hershey as the Quips won the AA State Championship. Less than 72 hours later, he led the Quips to victory in the basketball court by scoring 35 points against Beaver Falls. Last season, Revis led the WPIAL in scoring as a Junior (averaging 25.4 points a game), and was named to the PG Fabulous Five.
In football, Revis is the WPIAL AA Player of the Year, and a member of the PG Fabulous 22. The Tribune-Review named him their all section Player of the Year, and to their Terrific 25.
As an aside, the PIAA is re-classifying the four divisions of HS football due to the addition of the Philadelphia Public Schools. This will drop 5 WPIAL teams from Quad-A to AAA – most notably Indiana, PA which is the smallest of the current Quad-A WPIAL teams.
Just thought I would share.
