6A: 

The top two in the class of 6A remain North Allegheny & Pittsburgh Central Catholic.The Tigers entering week six were undefeated, however Central Catholic won their regular season matchup with a dominant second half of play 27-14. The Vikings have also won four-straight to this point. 

Norwin and Hempfield have both made their way up to 6A this year, coming from 5A, however Norwin is still looking for their first conference win of the year. Hempfield got theirs last week in overtime against Canon-Mac. Finally, Mt. Lebanon is looking for their first win overall as the Blue Devils have matched last year’s loss total.
