PITTSBURGH (93-7 The Fan) – ROOT Sports high school football coordinating producer Craig McConnell joined 93.7 The Fan’s John Phillips for his weekly spot on “The UPMC High School Football Show” Saturday.

Last week, Craig and John discussed the future of Hopewell’s five-star tailback, Rushel Shell, and it seemed to resonate with listeners. So, they pick it up where they left off.

Meanwhile, South Fayette’s Joe Rossi, who also appeared on Saturday’s show, has done wonders for that program, and Craig shares his thoughts on the importance of coaching in the long-term health of any program.

In addition, Craig tells John which defending WPIAL champion he thinks made the biggest statement in Week 3.
